just some quick napkin math on this, $375 million is 0.18% of meta's reported 2025 revenue of $200.97 billion, or 0.62% of meta's reported 2025 profit of $60.46 billion. $375 million is the maximum penalty allowed by law. the system just like, fundamentally doesn't work lol

ICE officers getting paid for standing around doing nothing while TSA employees work without pay is a pretty succinct summation of where we're at right now

if you want to know how the genius idea is going this morning…

Look, I was throwing a ton of shade the Timbers way after the Thorns did the thing against Seattle down two players while the Timbeys couldn’t get it done against Houston while up a man. Today they have a very real opportunity to prove us wrong. GET IT DONE! #RCTID

…uh, how many matches have the Timbers gone down a man this year?!? 😩 #RCTID

Hell yeah @timbersarmy.org friends #RCTID

I can’t decide whether to lean more into “legendary Thorns all-time performance” or “lmao Seattle what happeneddddd”. So I think I’m gonna do both. That was an incredible Thorns performance that will live forever in the halls of rivalry wins. And LMAOOO SEATTLE WHAT HAPPENEDDDD #BAONPDX

…nice.

Finish the soccer game. You have a two goal lead, and two fewer players. You have thirty minutes. Your time starts now.

This ref is absolutely pathetic. Just insanely bad. #BAONPDX

Wait a second. WE COMMITTED THR RED CARD CHALLENGE?!?!? Wtffffff #BAONPDX

Eeeeyup. 👀

Come on how did the ref miss that challenge? That looked like an elbow to the face, a straight up red. And he didn’t even pull a yellow? Maybe that’s why his hand is to his ear. #BAONPDX

Good half so far, even though we’re down a player… #BAONPDX

It's time to rename 39th Avenue for someone who truly represents the values of our city. Someone with deep ties to Portland, who best embodies our never say die attitude, who let nothing stand in the way of their dreams: Tonya Harding Boulevard

Everyone has a dumbass conspiracy theory and mine is that Meta's virtual reality stuff contained a money laundering scheme. You'll never make me believe they lost $80 billion dollars in 5 years for real on developing stuff that looks & works like that. Nah, someone was squirreling away something man

Boy oh boy do I love Spider-Man. youtu.be/8TZMtslA3UY

The US is no longer a liberal democracy, according to the top global watchdog on freedom and democracy. We're falling fast, and are now classed the same as Guatemala, Colombia, and Peru www.v-dem.net/documents/75...

This is precisely why we need ranked choice voting nationwide.

😢

The war & AIPAC are nightmares, but so is Joe Kent, one of the most openly fascist figures in Trump’s regime, a comrade of Proud Boys and Fuentes, a man who says Black Lives Matter was a child trafficking ring, a guy who complains that Hitler is misunderstood. Don’t take the bait.

🤔

…so Timbers. 😑

I’m of the opinion that we should let people keep the balls when they go in the stands. Is there a reason we can’t let people just keep the damn soccer balls? 😤

Holy shit there is blood POURING off Pants’s face. 😱

WHAT A TIME FOR VELDE TO LOSE HIS YIPS! HE BRINGS IT LEVEL! #RCTID

Lmao that’s so Timbers. Of course. 🤣 #RCTID

Man, Velde has the yips something fierce. Great rebound by Guerra though. Phew. #RCTID

I’m genuinely flabbergasted at how much I’ve been enjoying Pokemon Pokopia. I’m not usually huge into these builder type games but this one got its hooks in me GOOD.

Watching Politico get told they're sanewashing shit by the guy they're sanewashing is just excellent. Media cooked. Getting dunked on by the people they're protecting. We are in the post-dignity era of the press.

It is very easy to read statements like this as a joke. This is not a joke. We have proven with AI, completely by accident, what knowledgeable people have been saying for decades: the environment that rich people live in gives them a very specific personality disorder.

Hey Oregon friends, we should speak up about this.

HOLY SHIT. A dark money group, hidden behind a bunch of shell companies, is paying influencers thousands of dollars PER POST to attack @katmabu.bsky.social on social media a month before her election. Thank you to the people who declined the money and went forward with this. So who's behind this?

Halfway through the new James Blake and I’m thinking it might be his best record so far? There hasn’t been a weak track in the bunch.

Upside down, by the ankles, and then treat him like a piñata.

I hope Phil Neville is genuinely concerned for his job. This is awful. #RCTID

I think Phil Neville may be a bad coach. OH MY GOD THE KID DID A THING #RCTID

I don’t understand the logic behind subbing Kelsey for Gage. At all. #RCTID

I know it’s a silly thing to care about, but I legitimately don’t understand why our lineup graphics get worse every year. It’s especially obvious when it gets placed next to an actually useful lineup graphic. #RCTID

Does anyone know where to find a Pokemon pinball machine in PDX? Do any of the usual spots have one yet?

Hegseth needs to stand trial after this as a war criminal. Between this attack and the girls' school, there's no ambiguity. He is responsible for mass murder and must be held accountable.

The ONE TIME I want Suarez to do a little bite, he doesn’t. Damnit dude, come on.

Spain's leader with a message that should be adopted by every top Democrat

One of my favourite sides of politics/media.

The top 1% in America now hoard $55.8 trillion — more than the G.D.P. of the United States and China combined.

Damn, less than a minute later? 😢 #RCTID
