I hope the Yankees give Aaron Boone a lifetime contract

Yesssssssssssssssssss (Yankees are gone fishin’)

Here’s an angle for a journalist looking for a fresh take on the White House “Antifa” roundtable — most of the people who participated are employed by or have a direct financial connection to Turning Point USA. I think that’s pretty telling, no?

I eagerly await Matt Taibbi’s explanation of why this isn’t as bad as the Biden admin flagging some posts about Ivermectin to Twitter that were never even removed

Same street corner

Local news is *crucial*

For context: When a group of protestors stormed the US Capitol on Jan. 6, a crew of Oath Keepers was standing by, waiting for Trump to invoke the Insurrection Act so they could go get their stash of weapons, hidden across the Potomac. This is far from normal.

it's Shadow Ticket pub day — up now on @literaryhub.bsky.social I wrote about Pynchon in the culture. thanks for check'n it out lithub.com/thomas-pynch... @penguinbooksusa.bsky.social

More, from this same QAnoner’s channel (note: they’re blaming companies, not Trump or tariffs, but there is “dissatisfaction” to say the least)

"'What is it that's wanted nowadays? What's wanted is that the people should be stirred up to revolt. Of course! Everybody thinks about it, but privately, for himself. And what's necessary is that he should speak out aloud. Some one person must be the first to decide to do it.'"

Just randomly remembered Yung Joc

Once again, I will note this claim from Ken is completely untrue and does not comport with causality or the forward motion of linear time. The term was developed while Biden was in office.

Football, man, what a concept

Whoa, wild Travis Hunter catch!

biblically accurate couch

This aged poorly. Still time! But, uh, not looking good for a competitive series

Unlike Jesus, I have returned.

I am once again asking us all to recognize that the Luddites were not anti-technology but anti-exploitation. If they were around today they would have joined you in a call for technology that serves everyone’s, not just the bosses. You *are* a Luddite Bernie, and you should be proud to be one

Shot, chaser

"The hundreds of billions of dollars companies are investing in AI now account for an astonishing 40 per cent share of US GDP growth this year... In a way, then, America has become one big bet on AI."

Diane Goodstein had received death threats for her ruling against the Trump administration before her house burned down.

Alex Jones: “You cannot make this up” [Proceeds to make shit up]

There’s something here about folk theories of the internet and search and how they bleed into conspiracy theories

"'Truth travels over the earth secretly; it seeks a nest among the people. To the authorities it's like a knife in the fire. They cannot accept it. It will cut them and burn them. Truth is your good friend and a sworn enemy of the authorities--that's why it hides itself.'"

"The silent patience of the people was wearing away, yielding to a strained expectation of something new ... Every arrest aroused a timid, uncomprehending, and sometimes unconscious sympathy when judgment regarding the causes of the arrest was expressed."

What a bonkers game of football

Stefon Diggs: is he the drama?

Lmao Patriots 😭 (I have to be fair, that was just embarrassing. Poor Rhamondre, he’s been having ball security problems but he’s still great in my book)

Just thinking about how Kid Rock in the opening scene of HBO’s Silicon Valley was super prescient about the aesthetics of what I call the nativist-tech coalition. Or maybe it was just accurately depicting a world that was slightly more insular then, and now runs our government and mass media

Lmao Yankees. -15 run differential through two games! Coulda been worse, I suppose

Now THAT’S a bat flip! Jose Bautista would be proud

Lmao Giants

Lmao, this, THIS is Reddit’s promotional strategy?? I guess there’s something to be said for truth in advertising…

happy sunday, remember that you are completely expendable to your employer and that when you die they will forget you ever existed within weeks and easily replace you

Two people in balaclavas torched a mosque in Peacehaven, East Sussex. This is not far from where I live. Fascists are in an open war with Muslims and people of colour in the UK. www.bbc.com/news/article...

The convo between @paulscheer.com, Mantzoukas, and Jake Johnson about who is in “Geek Sqwad” on this week’s How Did This Get Made? was amazing, maybe my favorite bit since “are the monkeys being paid?” 🤣

Yeesh, watching the Florida State opening routine with the sound off… super creepy and disgusting. Just a stadium full of mostly white people doing the chop and a dude in red face (I assume?) playing Osceola. Something about no sound really underscores how racist the whole vibe is

For those interested in how Stephen Miller came to be central to MAGA (arguably the first and most important piece not named Trump)

“Advocates are particularly concerned over the facilities’ use of Pfas gas, or f-gas, which can be potent greenhouse gases, and may mean datacenters’ climate impact is worse than previously thought. Other f-gases turn into a type of dangerous compound that is rapidly accumulating across the globe.”

BREAKING: Israeli forces have killed at least 55 Palestinians across Gaza since dawn, despite US President Trump’s calls for attacks to cease to secure a ceasefire deal, medical sources told our colleagues at Al Jazeera Arabic. 🔴 LIVE updates: aje.io/9te3dv

I enjoyed OBAA quite a lot, but there’re some very good points about the film’s misogynoir that my whiteness blinded me to. This is a good read (h/t @fdsignifier.bsky.social for linking to it via his YouTube channels)

The cross-platform content moderation loophole is a real doozy. In the abstract, it’s only “fair” to enforce rules that govern a given space (like one would a contract). But in practice, that ignores how harassment and all sorts of networked badness actually work

Did somebody say poison??? (Starts at 4:14, but the whole video/songs are 🔥🔥🔥)
