0 shots on goal, 19 fouls, 2 touches in the opponent's box, 3 yellow cards. dismal stuff tbh
I respect France's commitment to not working on a holiday.
every dead senator gets a thoughtful obituary lauding their “courage” and then if you look it up the courage was filibustering the Give Medicine to Cancer Kids act

“[Prove] to the plutocrats that they actually are in the same game and bound by the same rules as common people... This can be done within the confines of the rule of law—but only if legal consequences are swift, painful, and delivered on a timescale they cannot ignore.”

when we mourn le guin, we mourn one of our greatest writers & thinkers. but we also mourn one of our all-time greatest haters
It's not hyperbole in the least to say Musk purchased a six-month shadow presidency for $280 million and used the power of that shadow presidency to 1. Steal the government’s data, 2. Permanently damage the state’s ability to regulate his businesses, and 3, kill non-white people.
David Roberts@volts.wtf · 5mo agoStill feel like "Musk and his crew of incels destroyed a bunch of stuff they didn't understand and thereby hastened the deaths of millions of children" did not get the public attention it warranted.
Yes, I think the enormity of Elon Musk racking up Pol-Pot levels of mass killing is so hideous to contemplate that many people just….aren’t.
Charlie Warzel@cwarzel.bsky.social · 5mo agoI genuinely think some people do not want to look this in the eye/think about it because it is so awful. We wrote what I thought was a pretty eye-opening story about all this and I was surprised by the lack of engagement tbh

USAID Whistleblower Says It Was Even Worse Than People Knew
Political appointees wanted a quiet drawdown, the whistleblower says. DOGE wanted an execution.

In a world where "AI" submissions are a plague, human-written stories are the cure for an editor's breaking heart. Don't let the flood discourage you from sending your work out there. You are better, no what the hype of the moment says. We want your stories. Not the slop-infested noise.
Hot take: the open fuck you energy of 10-1 did better than 9-2 would have. L. Louise Lucas was right. Soft-pedaling it wouldn't have sold, "you're goddamn right we are" did.

These fishermen are lucky to be alive. We will probably never know how many of the ~180 people killed in similar US attacks were also just fishermen.

everything about DOGE was fucking wildly illegal and everyone involved in it should spend time in prison and have their assets seized
post malone ergo propter malone@proptermalone.bsky.social · 5mo agothe basic theory of DOGE was that if powerful people said it was fine it didn’t matter what the law said. I think proving that theory wrong is worth significant effort
Absolutely incredible. NASA Astronaut Reid Wiseman, who commanded Artemis II, took this footage from the far side of the Moon with his iPhone. Watch with sound on.
personally while "force majeure" was on the bingo cards I wasn't expecting to see phrases like "piracy" or "letters of marque" in contemporary discourse quite this much. maybe there's still hope for me to try out a swashbuckling era as a privateer
the tech fascists think they are so clever and smart but their entire worldview is just a bunch of stale apologetics for race hatred and fascism
personally I agree that we should indeed reject the hollow pluralism of pretending that we shouldn't judge Klan, Nazi, and sparkling eugenicist subcultures according to what they have historically produced, and would enthusiastically endorse rejecting inclusion of them in public life
Eliot Higgins@eliothiggins.bsky.social · 5mo agoExtremely normal and fine for a company to put this in a public statement
Amazing that in the national divorce the libs are getting the NFL, butter and cooking oil, being attracted to adult women, standup comedy, Bud Light, and now also Catholicism
Goku: This Sparrowhawk guy seems strong! Ursula K. Le Guin: Yes, he was quite strong, but strength meant nothing compared to his foolishness. Goku: Wow.
