Why does the UK exist in some sort of quantum realm when it comes to statehood in sport. Why is one country actually four countries when playing soccer? Why is the UK actually only Great Britain during the Olympics?

this is so insane

for anyone who thinks it’s science fiction to suggest that Seattle or Portland could function if we tore out I-5 or other massive highways, worth pointing them to our neighbor to the morth, an economically thriving and livable city with virtually no big roads Americans would recognize as “freeways”

Zoran: Good morning Rama my wife. Rama: hello Mamdani

I started reading a new nonfiction book and after looking at its wiki, discovered that the author just made a bunch of it up? Why is this so endemic to pop science books

I love that Portland now has a park named for a late, iconic, local drag queen

you know what else we could with the billions of dollars that ODOT want to spend on the Rose Quarter / IBR? How about a wholly integrated regional passenger rail network? i finally got my hands on a high level feasibility report Metro put together last year: ti.org/pdfs/MetroRe...

Earth Wind and Fire album covers are such a vibe

It is truly insane how large, colorful, and intricate newspaper comics were in their heyday.

Seeing the Peter Serafinowicz Harry Potter announcement just made me think, once again, about this excellent James Acaster bit from Off Menu.

'We are clamping down on the harm caused by social media. 'Read all about it on the Nazi pogrom deepfake abuse website'

We're getting wildfire smoke in the PNW because a jet fighter crashed in the woods. Last month, two fighter jets crashed in an air show. Between all of these accidents and the war in Iran, is the US military just losing an exceptional amount of planes right now?

"gross, why is the air so hazy" i thought, and opened up watchduty. oh.

Thousands have turned out for an Anti-Racism rally in Belfast city centre, organised by United Against Racism and supported by Trade Unions

Finally finished Left Hand of Darkness—absolutely incredible, especially thinking about the context in which it was written 60 years ago. Why does Portland not have a massive Le Guin statue in the middle of Pioneer Square

there were already many reasons to do this but Elon Musk actively encouraging racist violence in Belfast should be the final straw for every UK government institution to stop doing business - including being on X - with him in any way, and for him to be barred from entry to the country.

Feeling absolutely sick to my stomach reading about the racist violence in Belfast. Thinking in particular about my good friend and his small children, I can't imagine what they're going through right now

Guy Montgomery's Guy Mont Spelling Bee is so hilariously deranged. It's like a minor devil deciding that four comedians' torment will take the shape of a 70s game show www.youtube.com/watch?v=dm1y...

On this, my last day of taking antibiotics for pink eye, I seem to have developed food poisoning

I'm watching a British cozy mystery series and this character's name is what

Axios is saying that Trump spent 15 minutes of the last Oval Office briefing talking about "the lowlifes at Starz" who "were very very unfair to Counterpart," that "it was JK Simmons like no one had ever seen" and that the cancellation was "one of our worst deals."

What if it happens on the Fourth of July

Rage baiting the car behind me by going exactly the speed limit

(texting my friend Evil Larry) me: what's up dude Larry: matters most vile

GREG DAVIES: seems like a kind of a shit task. Everyone just seems like they're going home normally. ALEX HORNE: well before you say that let's have a look at how Odysseus did. cut to panel of AJAX, MENELAUS, AGAMEMNON, and DIOMEDES who are all staring at ODYSSEUS with his head in his hands

The most 1999 thing about the previous NBA Finals between the Knicks and the Spurs might be that the Spurs were playing StarCraft against each other in between games

Spurs are in the finals, time to post the 99 Spurs playing LAN Starcraft

People are not driving like gas is expensive

Second day in a row I'm at an urgent care, a woman just came out from the examination area, walked to the front desk and told the receptionist "I'm not upset anymore" 😬 What happened here

Sick, healing from a tattoo session, haven't slept through the night in a week

Reminder that Widow’s Bay creator Katie Dippold is behind one of the greatest Halloween tweets of all time:

It's a bummer that Shari's is gone, but it is funny that they'll be turned into other businesses but will always look like Shari's. Big "used to be a Pizza Hut" vibes

helluva time for the oregon legislature to decide to defund trimet and force the agency to cut transit service

Today is the birthday of living legend Stan Sakai, born on May 25, 1953. Creator of the series Usagi Yojimbo.

I appreciate living in a part of the country where people still mask in public regularly and it's no big deal

Every couple months I check in on the latest Adrian Chiles articles and I’m always absolutely blown away. These are all from the last couple months. The man is operating at an incredibly high level.

I started Left Hand of Darkness recently and though I'm early in the book, I feel like I'm already missing the point because my reaction so far has been "Winter planet? Sounds cozy :)"

In all the discussion of a singular "millennial anthem", we all did overlook this particular entry for a particular kind of too-online person.

Now that I'm the parent of a young child, I have never been more locked in to the sales and specials on fruit at the grocery store

Woah, that's my mayor

Gonna mute every permutation on "burrito taxi" today, I've lost track about how many times I've seen this discourse

no take, only throw

Also the next somebody says reparations for black people is a ridiculous idea, remind them that we have a reparations program for trying to overthrow the government

“Instead of student loan forgiveness we’re doing a coup forgiveness program”
