The Irish men’s team *need* to just not play the Israel game. To boycott is not just morally right, but such a fucking winner long-term from a PR perspective when it’s against a football establishment of such crooked bastards. Nobody will mind whatever the “punishment” is.

Stop using AirBnB folks

Yeah eat shit you’re out of Hat Club www.npr.org/2026/07/02/n...

It sucks that Kentucky Republicans preemptively changed the Senate succession rules before McConnell’s old rotten heart finally died www.politico.com/news/2024/03...

This reads like a kid being kicked out of a tree house because the kid in whose backyard the tree house sits just made up new tree house rules.

Should say this is MC Hammersmith and it's worth watching this on his YouTube channel so he might at least make some money from this piece of art.

Ronald Koeman is the Mick McCarthy of Gareth Southgate’s. #speirgorm

A great 0-0 victory for me and all my Ghanaian people. Well done, cousins!

What I love about Cabo Verde’s performances is thinking of a nation being uplifted and an entire population creating some of the best memories of their lives. Italia ‘90 still lives with me.

this is why we don't cheer for the Iranian government no matter how much we hate the US government

Takes 10 minutes to help another Rita out :)

I never thought I'd see a story that quite so beautifully captured the phrase 'decline of empire'.

Classy.

Nigel Farage Listens to the News

Have Irish people in general picked a join World Cup surrogate yet btw? What do we think of Korea, we're both real into cabbage and were colonised by a brutal oppressor that the West thinks is cutesy and polite

This.

In 1942, the US Army produced a film informing GIs of the differences to expect when stationed in Britain. It included a chapter on how Britain was not racially segregated like back home, and that they should just deal with it:

Honestly, one of the funniest tweets I've ever seen.

Can’t wait to see what the NAACP does in court with the legal precedent of the government setting up a $1.8Bln fund to compensate citizens for harms done to them by government actions. #Reparations

Historian of abolition here, history tells us how we got here, to put it succinctly “John Brown was hanged for treason and Robert E. Lee was not.”

CMAT at the 9:30 Club last night was perfection.

Can reporters stop using the word deal? It’s an agreement, a settlement, a treaty, an understanding, an MOU etc. Using the word deal is accepting his simple-minded TV game-show framing and contributes to the bogus drama he is trying to create.

This is a great essay. Read the whole thing.

While the world’s eyes are on fashion’s biggest night, we’re turning ours to the garment, retail, and warehouse workers who keep the industry running. From true love found on the picket line to a free tailoring school out of a Brooklyn basement — meet the New Yorkers who make it all possible.

Sydney Sweeney could give Gal Gadot a run for her money. #euphoria

One person a week. We have become so inured to deaths in custody in this country but we have to fight it. We have to make it painfully, unacceptably real to ourselves every single time. Every single life is precious. Every time our country kills someone it is keeping in a cage is an atrocity .

Today's winner of the Internet. Congratulations!

I didn’t know this, did you? Amazing!

Winning campaign slogan here if anyone wants it.

Magyar won with an emphasis on corruption and the rule of law. Good lessons. It wasn't just "we will improve the economy". It was "these people are stealing from you and we will put them in jail."

Has Trump said yet that he has no idea who Orban is and that he wasn’t really following the election?

first in my bloodline to see someone get excommunicated by a community note

David Duchovny played a transgender woman, Denise, on Twin Peaks in 1990 and when greeting Cooper, the show's protagonist, she says, "I prefer Denise, if you don't mind" and Cooper responds with "OK" and her identity is settled within a couple seconds and was a non-issue, 36 years ago.

Me when those Harry Potter commercials come on HBO

When covid numbers made him look bad, he said stop testing. When jobs reports made him look bad, he changed the dept. of labor. When economic numbers made him look bad, he threatened the fed. Why would this be any different?

One of the top headlines of the day.

Platner talked excitedly about taking revenge for the deaths of his comrades in the Marines. Seems time that we heard from some of the people he served with. So far not a single person from his military days - no friends, no commanding officers - has come forward to endorse him. 2/

The U.S. presidency has reached peak Tony Montana.

This is the NSF program that funds all of linguistics (and which funded my graduate study). Because of course knowing about how language works is woke nonsense that couldn't possible be in anyone's national interest 🫠

Pádraig Lenihan’s comprehensive study of the human loss arising from this invasion estimates that the military conquest and occupation caused, directly and indirectly, the population of Ireland to fall by around 20 percent.

Look, we're just going to make this case about who gets impeached. If you vote against birthright citizenship, you get impeached. It's that simple. Democratic senators should be saying this loudly.

Today, we celebrate the achievements of transgender, Two-Spirit and non-binary people. Today is also a reminder that not everyone is free to live their lives safely. Many still face hate and discrimination, and struggle to access the life-saving health care and supports. (1/3)
