Rep. Max Miller: "My former wife has claimed that during a custody exchange at my home that day, I assaulted her…If I had assaulted her, would she have offered to cook me dinner six days later?"

And then they throw in some Celtic languages and yoink bits of languages from around the world along the way. The result: a language where there are usually about 10 different ways to say something, but when it comes to writing, you sit at your desk for 20 minutes trying to think of one 🤣 #amwriting

Cars have a geometry problem. They’re incredibly spatially inefficient.

To carry 50,000 people per hour in each direction, a city needs a 175m wide road for cars. Even if those cars are electric. And then there’s all the parking. OR a city can move A LOT MORE people in a lot less space, with A LOT LESS public money, emissions, pollution, noise etc. Choices. Simple.

Disappointed to read this, but it needs to be recognized in order to be corrected. "the tournament’s global popularity and the visibility of its players provided discriminatory discourse with a particularly significant space in which to spread."

Spain’s 2026 World Cup triumph was overshadowed by a surge in racist and Islamophobic abuse online, with the tournament emerging as a major trigger for hate speech and teenage star Lamine Yamal becoming one of its most prominent targets. Read: www.middleeastmonitor.com/20260723-202...

Getting a little sick of the "there's only a dozen trans athletes in the US" argument. Yes, the right is attacking a minority. But there could be a single trans kid getting excluded from participating in sports, and we would still need to fight for their right to do what they want.

As unpopular as the Iran war is, the coverage still doesn't do justice to the fact that they just could have not done any of this. There was literally no reason beyond general bloodthirstiness and incompetence.

Excited to announce I started a podcast with my friend @trufelman.bsky.social, where we read classic philosophical works and discuss what they can teach us about why we buy, wear, and value the things we do. It’s basically a podcast for people who love clothes, books, and big ideas.

Can't get numb to this: The United States is stuck in a war it started, cannot end, and may further escalate to no avail, having dismantled its diplomatic apparatus, depleted its military stockpile, and destroyed its credibility. A historic strategic mistake harming millions in many different ways.

Spain wins the World Cup by beating Argentina 1-0 on Ferran Torres' goal in extra time

In the opening moment of the second 15-minute period of extra time, Torres pounced on a bouncing ball in the box and used his left foot to bury a shot just under the crossbar and into the back of the ...

Messi is like the soft-spoken gang boss who says things like, “While I personally abhor violence, some of my associates may be less fastidious.”

BBC panel talking about the post-whistle Argentina scrap taking a moment to talk about Messi being gracious in defeat and, ngl, as a tourist, I feel like that guys gets way too much of a free pass

Love the BBC broadcast "it's not been a final that will last long in the memory, unless you are Spanish" 🤣

Does it count???

Probably more helpful to think of them not so much as “Canadian wildfires” but rather “climate change wildfires currently consuming Canada”

Americans thinking Canadian wildfire smoke shouldn’t affect them and Canadians thinking FDA cuts won’t affect our food supply. We’re all on this continent together, buckos. Smoke, parasites and viruses don’t care about borders.

"There's still gonna be more bloodshed unless they shut their mouth." Probably not a good sign when federal officials sound exactly like abusive husbands

Whine-stone Cowboy. PP is an arrogant ignorant prick who lost his seat during the last election. He had one of his party members resign to force a by-election so he could steal that super-safe seat in an Alberta town where he has never lived. He's a rage-baiting performative douche-canoe.

I don’t know why it’s so important to me to overtake Michael Jackson’s ghost in the Blackwell’s bestseller chart but it is and here I find myself publicly requesting assistance in the matter and I suppose that’s just a character flaw in myself I suppose I have to accept.

IDGAF if someone has an "unfair advantage" in children's sports because the point of children's sports is for children to move their bodies, play, and build team skills. They should be co-ed anyway, because in the big grown-up world boys and girls and thems need to work together.
