Hmm, gonna check this out.

but you aren't rearming

"Leave no trace" they say (Trace visible from orbit)

Good TV Guide writeup on Anna Maxwell Martin and her chilling performance as Star City’s chief antagonist, Colonel Raskova. (Contains spoilers.) www.tvguide.com/news/star-ci...

Posted from here:

despite Vanilla Ice’s clear desire to collaborate, he listened and stopped

I think we’re one maybe two cycles at most from several serious streamer candidates.

Love the pops of color.

Davos vs Dubai makes no sense as a dichotomy, but other than that ... britmonkey.com/2020s-politi...

🥵Why are so many Europeans/Britons unnecessarily sweating through a heatwave without cooling? Why are portable AC units so crap? The answers are both interesting and maddening. My latest on air conditioning👇 edconway.substack.com/p/the-missin...

European debates about air-conditioning will come to a miraculously sudden halt when temperatures drop below 25C next week

Tucker: A Man and His Dream

Sometimes on campus you accidentally walk by a philosophy class and the professor is writing "utility = pleasures - pains" on the board and everyone is taking notes like it's actual school

Currently watching Yvonne Hanson’s video on the Kodak Charmera: youtu.be/XYzPdi1Tgsk?...

It’s hard to explain to non-Minnesotans how shocking this is to hear. Somalis aren’t controversial here, they’re part of the community and the state. It’s no different than a New York politician saying all the Jews should leave

JD adopting Chairman Mao’s view of Watergate.

anyways, where I'm landing on data centers is they're more or less the same as every other form of light industry (outside of some outliers) but they're politically very toxic, largely because of how the tech companies act toward everyone so it's their job to convince people to build them, not ours

Shin Godzilla's theme of a stuffy political old guard being both unprepared and unwilling to handle apocalyptic disaster and effectively forcing a proactive new group to take the reins is, ummm, pretty timely.

Fauci needs to sue this man into bankruptcy, if only to dissuade the other inveterate liars of this administration.

⚖️ Devastating news today from the US Supreme Court, where a 6-3 decision gives the Trump administration the go-ahead to bring Temporary Protected Status (TPS) to an end for Syria, exposing more than 6,000 Syrians to potential deportation. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25p...

I do not recommend searching for heat wave news on Bluesky. Or maybe I do recommend if it’s your thing. I think it’s kinda shitty tbqh.

“Professor, tell us about the European Heatstroke and Mass Grave Arrangements.” “Well you see before the Anthropogenic Extinction Event there were far more people living in the south and center of the Europe. But when the Great Heat began they declared, ‘LOL drink more water.’ And so many died.”

I’m sure the US will step up. Any day now…

England has long been an early innovator in assaults on privacy and liberty. Hell, one of my first online debates (c. 1996) was with a Blairite who sneered, “If you haven’t done anything wrong, you don’t need to worry about CCTV.”

They put AC in 8th century palaces in India lol

I don’t think it’s great that people are flirting with Holocaust denial

*cups her hands and shouts to all lawyers in a 50 mi radius* TREEEEE LAAAAAWWWWWW

Good piece by Yasheng Huang, who makes the same point that I often do: China's massive trade surplus reflects competitive (or absolute) advantage, not comparative advantage, and this is based mainly on its relatively low labor share of output. yashenghuang.substack.com/p/china-as-a...

Future historians will look back and claim that “250” means idiot in Mandarin slang because of Trump.

Son, Son, Son …

If you see this, post an Archer

europeans are less than six months from inventing fan death from first principles

The way Trump doubles down on the incompetence makes the whole thing an easily recognizable sitcom plot.

What I assume to be the propaganda department regularly sends out PSA text messages through China Mobile and China Unicom service channels. I wonder who actually reads them. Oddly enough, the messages never mention Tianjin so you could broadcast identical messages in any city.

Reminder that Musk literally shared Russian disinformation to justify his USAID cuts

even adam won't come out and directly criticize donahue lol

The death of USAID was an official goal of Russian propaganda so of course leftists favored it early on.* The receipts are all there. * Musk and Co. were late to the party, but Russian propaganda, laundered through Hungary and others, played a role in them targeting USAID too.

Like, I genuinely can't determine what other possible reason someone would have for posting this kind of shit except for the fact that they love watching liberals scramble to provide evidence that they will simply ignore. The gaslighting and trolling is the point!

I know he's riding high but this is a pretty substantial gamble from Mamdani www.nytimes.com/2026/06/24/n...

Donald Trump is a generational-level talent as a presidential candidate aided by literally two generations of having been celebrating as a business genius throughout the American media, with an extremely high ability to motivate non-voters.

Checks out.

The whale visited the reflecting pool.

there is not a state on the planet that does any sort of foreign aid for solely altruistic reasons lol

Honestly? I do not give a shit *why* it existed, and you wouldn't too if you lived outside the US

like calling Biden a rapist when he’s running against Trump is wrecker shit, and the other thing is just gutter racism

Well at least we can get a Bond movie plot out of it.

Patriotism yes, nationalism no.
