Rogue One (2016)

Something that I appreciate about being a marginalized person in this country is that it makes me unsentimental about it. This means that there's always an opportunity to redo things. This day sucked, well there's tomorrow or next month or next year to do something else. Things should change.

A $3 @mta.info subway fare and some good Q train timing can buy you one hell of a view of the July 4th fireworks and the Brooklyn Bridge light show! Huge shoutout to the train operator for slow rolling over the Manhattan Bridge and the conductor for announcing it.

I didn’t really care before and now I’m like ALLEZ LES BLEUS

Oh, I like this. Confederate flag images and portrait bonfires, another custom we can appropriate from the British to unify the country around punishing traitors

Putting the Galarza flop together with the save on Mbappé's nutmeg shot is funny

Paraguay is the anti-Cabo Verde

Are there Oscars for diving?

Emily Wilson doesn’t have time for online nonsense/culture war about the upcoming ODYSSEY. 👌

We should make it a thing to burn Confederate flags on July 4

Please don’t be insensitive. Posting about what you enjoy is triggering to people who can’t enjoy anything

At least Vladimir Putin is having a terrible time :)

DC is, flatly, owed statehood after what they have been through under this man to make sure this shit never happens again

This is a good thread for the 4th—it’s so easy to get cynical because, well, the cynicism is correct but this IS still the country that produced Alvin Ailey and Kurt Vonnegut. A couple additions off the top of my head: Langston Hughes, Angels in America, boardwalk fries

Just grateful that I’ll always have this, like being there as Michelangelo finished the Sistine Chapel, because I can’t get to sleep at a normal time.

Venetian entry buzzers that look like faces

Elon Musk is a South African who came to the US under a fraudulently secured student visa to study at Stanford (he never enrolled). Through further fraud, he secured a green card and then was naturalized as a US citizen. His US citizenship can be revoked. He also holds a Canadian passport.

Cape Verde won the popular vote

My condolences to everyone who missed this game for Taylor Swift's wedding.

Cabo Verde wins the World Cup in the round of 32, 2-3 to Argentina

This Cape Verde team are still legends, man

You know it’s serious when Messi starts running

THIS RULES

THIS IS CRAZY

imagine holding off the most famous soccer player alive and ALSO upstaging taylor swift’s wedding

Incredible moment where Fox News puts up a graphic with all the reasons it opposes the DSA and why people should be afraid of them

You should really only consider going to the National Mall on July 4 if you’re super MAGA and crave death

Supergirl was a totally fun movie and it was very satisfying to see a lady beat up a bunch of bad guys! See it and annoy an incel :)

AOC has changed the trajectory of American politics and inspired a generation to believe that government really can work for working people. I am deeply honored to earn her endorsement for US Senate. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/02/u...

I only found out this week that The Odyssey and The Iliad were part of a group of epic poems; they're the ones that survived (partly because they were thought of as the best), but definitely not the whole story.

It's just like MAGA, except it wants a more tolerant, egalitarian society, where everyone has healthcare and the material prerequisites of a life of dignity. I guess from the perspective of the theater critics in media, that difference is invisible.

Mayor Mamdani knows you’re hot (and not just because it’s 105 out!), so he’s been urging adults to go to the closest firehouse and ask for those special sprinkler caps that used to be impossible to get. nyc.streetsblog.org/2026/07/02/t...

Still not over this

By itself, this is both impeachable and cause for radical reform. The GOP Supreme Court does not even bother to explain the majority of its decisions. It's apparently too much to ask they at least barf up dishonest, unprincipled, poorly-reasoned excuses for their arbitrary exercise of power.

Thunderstorms with strong wind forecast and the “feels like” temperature won’t get below 90 until after 8pm. Good luck, patriots

Not entirely sure why federal officials and politicians are allowed to keep their medical status a secret?

I would bet that there are contractual obligations to cut to Infantino a certain number of times per game. That’s how he rolls.

The World Cup camera people cutting to Trump admin people is such a jump-scare. We don’t actually need to know that Howard Lutnick is at this game (even if he’s sitting next to Infantino—who wants to look at Infantino?)
