A lot. A fucking lot.

Ruth Ellis, the last woman executed in Britain, has been posthumously granted conditional pardon, according to Deputy Prime Minister David Lammy.

YES.

The IMF has also lifted its 2026 global inflation forecast to 4.7%, citing rising energy and commodity prices and risks from tensions in the Middle East.

Income isn’t supposed to play a role in how much housing assistance FEMA gives families. But in some North Carolina counties, the highest-income homeowners received two to three times as much money after Hurricane Helene as those with lower incomes. (Pub. Dec. 2025 w/ @theassemblync.bsky.social)

Through this weekend and next week, dry, dusty air from the Sahara will blow high above Florida and the Gulf Coast, as well as the Caribbean, creating hazy skies, which may enhance sunrises and sunsets as sunlight filters through the tiny dust particles.

Trump still has the ability to corruptly wield power. But as this fiasco makes clear, he’s no longer able to convince the world to dance along.

Representatives from 127 countries and regions plus the European Union are expected to attend this year's Aug. 6 ceremony in Hiroshima to honor the victims of the 1945 U.S. atomic bombing of the city.

Tiffany Haddish, on "Jimmy Kimmel Live," roasted Trump for calling FIFA's president about a US soccer star's red card. Here's what the comedian said.

Good. There has to be someone around who cares about what's right.

Bless their hearts. 😥

Europe and Canada now fund the bulk of security assistance to Ukraine, through bilateral and multilateral channels. Allies used this week's NATO summit to stress that this support must be distributed fairly and stay predictable and sustainable long-term. meduza.io/en/news/2026...

Be nice if #GothamFC continues to play a home game or two in Jersey each season for the NJ fans who love them.

I've never been in a Waymo, and have no intention of ever being in one.

Switzerland are headed to the men's World Cup quarter-final for the first time since 1954, or *15 years* before the moon landing 🌕

There really is nothing more FIFA than carding a manager attempting to initiate the discrimination protocols. Unfortunately, it’s not the first case of FIFA ignoring protocols, in fact, it’s been a theme.

sorry just saw your text, been playing laser tag with my good friend mitch mcconnell

Nigel [checks notes] “Man of the People” Farage standing on an “anti-establishment” ticket. 🤔

The implication that the NWSL isn’t a place where you can compete every weekend 😭😭😭😭 Alexia I wasn’t familiar with your game

always

Thank you to Seattle, the city and the World Cup venue. One of the best soccer settings over decades of global travels. The fans, the stadium, the backdrop, the waterways, the light rail, the noise, the food, the vibe, the soul. Well done, Cascadia.

Outside of Jen Beattie opening up the conference, it took like 10-12 minutes before a question was directly asked to Putellas by a reporter, so thanks to @meglinehan.com

And had the presence of mind to tell them to give her a dark bandage to go over the stitches, so the blood wouldn't be so obvious. (And there was blood, friends. She didn't hold back from headers when necessary. It was the World Cup Final.) #CaptainAmerica #USWNT

🚨🏐🚨🏐🚨 SO excited to help introduce the NEWEST professional sports team in the Bay Area… my (yours! our!) SAN FRANCISCO SIGNAL!!! Smash that follow button on insta, FB etc 👉🏻 @ sanfranciscosignal

Put my glasses on for the first time in almost a year and, even though the prescription isn't up to date, I forgot how much tidier they make everything.

i think fifa should just let us send the USWNT in 2030

As I reflect more on Gotham's move to Queens, there a few things that stick out to me: - it's clear that this was decided a while ago. Spending the entirety of the marketing budget this season on the Queens Classic, followed by 2028 (!) deposits, ignoring the rest of their time in NJ... #GothamFC

Coming tomorrow…a champion at EVERY level. A World Cup winner, Olympic gold medalist, NWSL champ, NCAA titleholder, an NWSL MVP, and Golden Boot winner. Crystal Dunn joins her former USWNT and NC Courage teammate Sam on the pod! 🏆💃

I saw someone on here say the USWNT won 4 World Cups without the help of a felon. And, well, only if you give Nixon no credit for Title IX.

😆😆😆 Croix, you're something else.... #KCBaby

Trinity Rodman's late goal had me thinking: this happens like once a month, right? Ran some numbers, & while it's not quite monthly, it's pretty regular. That + Hershfelt breaking down the midfield shift that changed the game, & Rodman's thoughts on how this matters as the Spirit chase silverware:

Come stan your woso biases and fanchant along with the ISA! #UpTheSwans

One day after welcoming Gotham FC to Queens with a press conference at City Hall, the club and NYC mayor Zohran Mamdani have once again partnered to release a limited batch of $15 tickets - this time for the Queens Classic. More in our exclusive story here: www.nytimes.com/athletic/742...

Last episodeof the season and I think it's the one I'm most proud of. Origin Story in its most distilled form: telling a tight, thrilling story of the past which equips us to understand the present.

Even if you waltzed by the Nazi tattoo and the suspiciously alt-right adjacent cover-up. Even if you ignored the Blackwater merc thing and the years of posts and the increasingly loud chatter of people--both him on Reddit and other people, about him--saying that he didn't seem to understand consent.

I just saw someone say that hindsight is 20/20 on Graham Platner, and let me just say that if you did not see this coming, your vision for such things needs to be checked.

Looking forward to reading this. My sense has been that the discussion around LLMs and copyright has been way too vibesy and underexamined.
