If I see another cute take about how comments on the internet were ruined by 3-cuing I am going to report you to your reading interventionist.

Trump of course admitted he didn't even know what a red card was before Balogun got one -- because FIFA should have known he would make this as embarrassing as possible for everyone involved.

Oh god forbid an associate professor of sociology gets a little motion

Pretty discouraged people don’t have more shame about publicly cheering for the USMNT in 2026.

I'll probably skip it in theaters, but I'll definitely stream Lee Cronin's Mitch McConnell

Forbes@forbes.com · last mo.

The 84-year-old senator has been hospitalized twice this year.

A shame SNL is off, because I'm sure they couldve called Tim Robinson to come in for a night.

Is there any game more American than the game made by the some-odd-number-of-greats-grandson of President Garfield? MtG tournament, of course

Okay but What would YOUR totally gratuitous White House lawn event be, if YOU were the mad king of a dying superpower

All I know is I'd tear them dang backrooms up if I had a portal gun

Obviously the real answer is that LA is run by a secret cabal of Hollywood Handbook heads

Jordan Uhl@jordanuhl.com · 2mo ago

Extremely funny to watch the right coalesce around “I’m in a bubble of morons, so this is impossible!” as an explanation for the LA mayoral results.

Straight guys are trying to be gay and they are bad at it.

lotta angry reactions to this one! not sure why

One thing Trump got right was giving Barney Frank credit for his advocacy toward freeing the male nipple.

L@banalplay.bsky.social · 3mo ago

Libs are really like, "Barney Frank was right. He's been advocating for an incremental approach to transgender rights for several decades now, dating all the way back to when transgender people had more rights."

Only Connect is a great gameshow that seems like it would be a decent crossover success in the US if every third category wasn't something like 'Famous Nigels'

Good thing to remember online right now is that everyone here is very emotionally dysregulated and dealing with that by posting

Stop pretending 'cursive' is important to teach kids in school! It isn't and you sound like you are perpetually confused by the world!

This guy's found a way to get paid in a very unstable industry. He'll believe, learn, & say what he thinks he needs to keep it going. Its easy enough to attribute his behavior to his belief in his own incompetence. He whines enough that I think he'd move on to a new beat if he thought he could.

You can best understand Singal best by realizing that he's a sadist that gets off on hurting trans people. The gaslighting, the victim blaming, the fake act of "just asking questions," are all a part of it. Everything is downstream of it.

'legal theory' is the dumbest combination of words in the English language

Saying 'leverage' when you could have just said 'use' insults your audience.

One of the underrated aspects of leaving a corporate job to work in a public job is never having to hear someone use the word 'leverage' again

The graphic is getting plenty of grief, but the headline itself is abysmal. What could the implications of learning that 'gay men run Silicon Valley' possibly be? Why are we 'investigating' who is or is not gay in 2026?

WIRED@wired.com · 5mo ago

Gay men have long been rumored to run Silicon Valley. WIRED investigates.

I can't understand just admitting that your assessment of AI isn't based on understanding the mechanics of it and more on who you believe, and then giving your take based on the assumption that everyone else gets their opinion the same way.

Chris Hayes@chrislhayes.bsky.social · 6mo ago

I understand why people are exhausted by AI hype, and why those of us squarely in the corner of "human dignity uber alles" see AI doomerism as self-serving hype, but I *really* think people on the left broadly need to start thinking seriously about the possibiltiy of the hype being...true.

Hey Google, you uh ok?

They say child stars are frozen in maturity at the age they became famous, but politicians are frozen in development at the moment they first decided to run for office.

Barack Obama@barackobama.bsky.social · 6mo ago

The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.

it would be so politically easy to redirect money to social workers, schools, or anything that actually benefits average people. Instead, we are rearranging the deck chairs on the policing-industrial complex

Senator Martin Heinrich@heinrich.senate.gov · 7mo ago

Public safety means stopping violent crime — not weaponizing ICE against our communities. That’s why I'm proposing a bill that redirects nearly $75 billion from ICE to local law enforcement.

3 year old has decided that '7 8 9' isn't funny because it's obvious that 9 is too big for 7 to eat.

Though a few people have replied and said it's not possible, I'm not sure there isn't precedent for justifying this kind of scenario.

This really seems like a bad faith read of Dan's point, which is that they can deny election results, like theyve tried to do before. Not cancel voting, but sow doubt, intimidate, and grind gears to a halt in a few key districts long enough to outlast institutions after the votes are tallied.

jamelle@jamellebouie.net · 7mo ago

so we've moved from "they did january 6" to "well they are going to try to intimidate some people in places where they think it might be effective." sure, they are going to try that. so then the question is, are you going to let yourself be intimidated?

Can we get her landlord's brother's opinion, or are we just giving up on doing actual journalism altogether?

The Daily Beast@thedailybeast.bsky.social · 7mo ago

Renee Good’s former father-in-law has revealed he does not blame the ICE officer who brutally killed her.

Qbert back on top of the *bert-verse

Any 'on-ramp' to abolishing ICE that concedes that illegal immigration is a problem that needs to be solved by armed forces pulling people from their work and families is only going to validate ICE's mission and allow them a longer leash of excuses for their behavior in ripping families apart.

I get it, that this is how news works, but we live in a deeply disorganized society when the journalists have to consult 'experts' to determine that someone whose only offense is driving away from ICE at a speed of like 3mph is not a terrorist.

Save this argument for the sacred land of your people. Not an app full of CSAM and AI delusions.
