I'm always asking where the fathers in the white community are and it turns out that they're bragging about their sons' admiration for human traffickers on various podcasts amidst a doomed multi-year vanity presidential run....

LBJ: [on phone with bewildered tailor] this is why we need the ball room

A DAY!!!!!!!

truth coming out of her cup noodles to shame mankind

My latest @us.theguardian.com "We Were Told the 2026 World Cup Would Be a Unifying Force. The Reality is Far Different." The original bid for the World Cup, put forth by the US, Mexico, & Canada in 2017, looks like a document yanked from an archaeological dig. www.theguardian.com/football/202...

I refuse to be tone policed by fascists

cut the funds, gov, let’s do it

THE TWO HOUR MARATHON HAS BEEN RUN Not only did Sawe crack two hours to win the London Marathon (in 1:59:30), but the 2nd place finisher, Kejelcha, *also* cracked two hours, & not just barely—in 1:59:41. Real tough for Kejelcha, who also just achieved one of the greatest performances in sport

ok but what do the reliable sources say

“The interest is in the money and not the tech.” - @karlbode.com on what much of tech media is focused on

everything (EVERYTHING) he says in this interview is 🙄

This is why it's important authors read a lot, Murakami has no idea this has been done already

incroyable

Not differently at all bsky.app/profile/cjze...

I don't think it's ever a loss to get in touch with a writer you like. Respectfully, through channels they publicly provide. Maybe it would be different if I was an NYT bestseller with millions of readers. But I enjoy when readers do reach out. If a writer's touched you, you can touch them too.

I am a few years old than this man and I involuntarily say “UGH“ every time I stand up. How does he physically do this at this point?

Random 1986 article I saw today. are so many famous men shit that the odds of this kind of comparison are actually high or what

Here my little dog, Sam, sleeping in his bed, which he somehow managed to get onto the bed of his big brother, Ralph.

free life hack for them: you don't have to walk out if you never walked in

I want all these so-called journalists who are going to this dinner to SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UPPPPPPPPPPP

Think of the fancy cat apartments that will pay for!

This morning’s cargo train derailment in downtown Austin has caused road closures and delays. Cleanup is expected to take all day. Grateful for first responders and city staff, and thankful there are no reported injuries or loss of life.

Lmfao the FSU soccer team got a White House invite & exactly 2 players showed up

Kinda feels like this whole thing merits more coverage by the main stream media. Beyond just me posting it about it at ny times dot com. I dunno, just seems like an interesting thing. CC the media www.edsbscharitybowl.com

WAIT. LSU used to call its women's team the "Ben-Gals"???? LOL pfffffftttt

THREAD: for [eyeblack], here are five (5) domestic violence accusations against a former MLB star that league investigators allegedly reviewed before allowing him to play without any discipline. www.readeyeblack.com/p/your-life-...

why are ai folks so bent about me hating it. fine, i'll fall behind! let me!!! fuck off!!!!

”Y’all” is, obviously, a perfect word. But we finished How to Get to Heaven from Belfast last night and ”yous” is also pretty damn great.

I would submit that a gerrymander by politicians saying fuck the voters and one by voters saying fuck the politicians are two wholly different animals

This is peak "pretending sports doesn't exist" content with "can't explain the sudden poor play of her Louisana College Kittens"

Truly never know what I'm going to read about when I'm searching newspaper articles about women's ball in the 1970s. TIL that the Louisiana College players were known as The Kittens. As in, "It will be the ninth straight road game for the Kittens."

"This video makes it all feel more 'real' to me than anything else released so far."

And I want to make clear that I think the W is better with Tash in it. She's a special person, and her willingness to speak out for what she believes in makes the league better. But that doesn't change the very real basketball reasons she and other vets remain unsigned.

THREAD. Tash is 34, her scoring has dropped in the last few years, and I doubt would sign for a vet min. She's far from the only vet who is unsigned, and it's more of a sign of the middle class in sports being squeezed.

Incredible scientific graph from 1977

I have to go to work and this is not my cat.

Two days after a long race (a half marathon in my case) is when the fatigue really hits. I am TIRED today.

I really liked this conversation and analysis

There is so much I would love to have from previous generations but the amount of data youd have to wade through to find anything interesting is completely prohibitive

The "you don't want to miss anything" pitch is classic misdirection. In reality the ability to record/monitor everything means you end up having so many pictures/videos that you can't even differentiate between them and just don't look back/reflect at all. meanwhile they get data to sell

Even if you put aside how weird and creepy this is, it’s clear that too many of us think we are way more interesting than we actually are.

There's a lot of talk about leaving Substack & whether it will be the death-knell of your newsletter. I have been on Beehiiv for 7 months now & @tlpavlich.gay helped me run some numbers. So, was leaving Substack worth it? The answer, for me, has been a resounding "yes." Here are the hard numbers:

Milwaukee just had 9 minutes of fireworks and we can’t find any explanation online for why 🤷🏼‍♀️

Austin takes Set 5. We're getting the Golden Set for the Championship!! USA Network, everyone!!! #LOVB

I’m about to run/walk a half marathon in Milwaukee in cold, very windy conditions please know their promise of beer and brats at the end will most likely be the main thing that keeps me going
