That sigh you heard about 15 minutes ago was an entire country expelling a collective breath. 🌬️🍁

3-on-3 overtime hockey is perhaps the most exciting thing in all sports. I'd love to see the #NBA adopt something like it in some fashion. You couldn't do first score wins, but there's something about the game stripped to essentials that's riveting.

Hypertext was invented to augment human intelligence. The Web, specifically, was invented to share research papers, and then documents more broadly. Pagers were created for medical professionals, and became a tool for dealing drugs.

Queen shit.

The *vast majority* of people who work at Meta today are people who willingly chose to work at the company after it directly enabled a genocide, according to multiple independent global human rights organizations, including Amnesty International. It is a warehouse for psychopaths.

Too many folks I know adulate Jon Stewart as a voice of reason, when in fact his mealy-mouthed but “funny” centrism provides cover for what would otherwise be seen as highly objectionable stances.

How the fuck is the global vaccine market so singularly dependent on the US?

Curling doesn't necessarily have to be just a winter sport.

Just watched the Biggs Cut with my wife. Deeply satisfying. I completely get why 80% of Biggs was cut from the final film, BUT if you don't care about pacing and are just interested in character development, SO MUCH ABOUT LUKE ONLY MAKES SENSE IF YOU KNOW ABOUT HIS RELATIONSHIP WITH BIGGS 1/x 🧵

that’s it, i’ve finally taken my best photo of all time 😅 (this chubster is an unapologetic beggar so don’t feel bad for him) 🧪🌍 #bird #birb

RULE VOTE FAILS, 217-214. Three Republicans- Thomas Massie, Kevin Kiley, and Don Bacon - buck the party to allow floor consideration of measures to end Trump's tariffs. The first such measure, likely on Canada tariffs, could come up as soon as tomorrow

A reminder that using Substack for paid newsletters supports their mission of also taking money from Nazis: www.theguardian.com/media/2026/f... I absolutely understand that some people depend on the Substack newsletter model for their livelihood. Eventually, Substack will fall. Migrate or plan.

Pay attention to who supports the USA Olympic team, and realize how rarely Republicans voice support. Truly meritocratic pursuits flout their White supremacist ideology, as USA Olympians come from all racial and ethnic backgrounds.

WE all knew this, but it's good that The Guardian is reminding the normies. www.theguardian.com/media/2026/f...
