This goes beyond cringe to some whole other category for which we don't even have a name. We need our best scientists on this.

Trump: “The Winning Shot in the Bedminster Club Championship! Thank you very much to all of those who participated. I won with a 70, & am so honored in that, unlike the rest of the field, I’m given very little time to practice, bc I’m focused on many other things. It’s called TALENT, and I have it”

This is a great time to jump in and learn or remind yourself just how much great music there was in 1996, including big beat and riot grrrl and deep house and ultraminimal and (coming later) a ton of R&B and even Britpop sometimes. Join now and you won't even have to learn what a "Kula Shaker" is!

Can't be the first to say this, but (and yay UEFA - brilliant) this works equally well if you swap out "football" for maybe "water" or "a stable climate". Look at me being the revolutionary socialist. "No one has the moral authority to sell what they merely hold in trust for the next generation."

The moment external investors acquire ownership interests in FIFA competitions, football changes forever. Commercial return becomes a permanent obligation. Investor expectations become a daily pressure. From that moment onwards, every decision on the international calendar, every decision on competition formats and every decision shaping the future of football is no longer driven by what best serves the game, but by what best serves shareholders. This model has no place in world football. Football's future cannot be dictated by the expectations of those whose first duty is to maximise financial return. Nor can the interests of national associations, leagues, clubs, players and supporters become subordinate to investor returns. Football cannot mortgage its future for financial gain. Europe's position is clear. We will never lend this model our legitimacy. No one has the moral authority to sell what they merely hold in trust for the next generation.

Why does transphobia in particular so often lead to psychological collapse? This makes Morrissey look like a live-and-let-live kind of guy

Roisin Murphy trawled through Instagram and found one of her old pop songs. When she saw that almost every commentator was critical of her newfound status as a deranged swivel-eyed TERF, she screenshotted their profiles & made a video of them. All completely normal behaviour 😬

I always think one of the most impressive skills politicians develop is the ability to hear a question like this and not just laugh in a reporter's face, or say "that's the dumbest fucking shit I've ever heard."

Reporter: Isn’t there concern that this slippery slope to socialism inevitably ends up as full-blown communism? AOC: They want to call everything they don’t like communist because if people actually wake up to the fact that their elected officials are screwing them over when they get here

I guess it was a given that Odyssey translator Emily Wilson would have an interesting take, but you may not have expected her fluency in L.A.ish.

EMILY WILSON@emilyrcwilson.bsky.social · 2w ago

There is a lot to say about the Nolan Odyssey movie. But one point that I think has not been emphasized enough is: this is a film about living in LA, as Nolan, my erstwhile British compatriot and age mate, has done for years. I gather it’s a strange place.
