i think my favorite style of soccer video is when someone scores and runs to do a celebration and immediately fall into a deep pit because they didn't look before jumping

if LA were a real city, there'd be a train line running multiple times per day from Union Station to Palm Springs/Coachella (I measure on google maps to compare that distance to distances in japan) Jesus, why's the US so big?

how does glass even end up in popsicles?

it's crazy there's always a solar eclipse happening somewhere in space and the only rare part about one is when it happens to cross Earth's surface

"Cooper's sentences are long and his diction is archaic"

I’m learning that the people who gamified paragraphs are having trouble reading books. www.axios.com/2026/08/11/r...

Al has become my reading buddy as I've plowed through my summer book list, helping me keep track of plots and characters, unpack themes, and make sense of wordy, old prose.
• Why it matters: The way many of us actually read books - a few pages before bed, a chapter at the beach, another on a plane - makes it easy to lose the thread. Al can help you pick it back up without starting over.
Ш I really got into using Al while reading James Fenimore Cooper's "The Last of the Mohicans." The text was far too dense for casual vacation reading. My first prompt asked:
• "T'd like a guide as I read The Last of the Mohicans who can help me understand what I've read and where the story is, without giving spoilers or getting ahead of my progress. Can you do this, chapter by chapter?"
• The robot agreed: "Cooper's sentences are long and his diction is archaic."

Chawinga World Cup!!!! Let's goooooo

I'm a big shift+Enter person. Too many softwares use Enter to mean send message, and I just can't risk it. I can't be sending emails saying """Hi, [EMAIL SIGNATURE]""" and then a follow-up """Hello, Sorry, I'm not quite used to my hotkeys yet. [EMAIL SIGNATURE]"""

me reaping (sending networking emails): well this fucking sucks me sowing (scheduling zoom meetings):

for people watching the Bay FC and Seattle Reign game, it's not that it needs to be an "accidental vs intentional" touch for the defense to cancel the offsides, it's about control. A last-ditch clearance will never count as that type of controlled touch. The announcers just don't know the rules here

I love Oshi No Ko because it boldly answers the question "what if a romance was both 'twins incest' and also 'problematic age gap' at the same time?" Unfortunately, no one ever asked that question. But they sure as hell answered it...

Ticketmaster genuinely the worst software in the world on purpose. I'd love to get tickets to a concert, but first I have to complete a Trial of Hercules and it's just not worth it

i think one of my favorite things is how John Green's signature is canonically worth negative money

"Argentina were like genocidal war-criminals" bro it's just a soccer game between a bunch of emotional man-children, it's not that deep

Argentina was possessed by lsraeI Their soccer team acted as if they were lDF "The Argentina World Cup squad is a disgrace to football and to humanity. Enzo Fernandez is a pig. And Messi is not much better. Sorry. Full comments below." x.com/GlbalMadridi...

you ever kill a fly and then think after "damn, that was kinda overkill, wasn't it?"

the meaningful difference between men's soccer and women's soccer is that when I watch the women play i say "holy shit, they're getting beat up but still playing, they're sooo tough" But when it's the men, i say "he slightly stepped on your foot, WHY are you rolling around on the ground?"
