there’s an important lesson in Abdul El-Sayed’s win and Francesca Hong’s loss, and that is that in politics it’s good to be cool and bad to be weird.

People come to New York City from all over the world to experience Broadway. The kids who grow up here should be able to do the same. We’re partnering with TDF to give away over 2,000 free Broadway tickets to NYC High School students at on.nyc.gov/broadway. Break a leg, high schoolers!

“Somebody get these beggars out of here” is not a great line (it’s not even the line Nolan wrote). It’s a ball for Robert Pattinson to hit out of the fucking park.

Bluesky can’t just be about liberal/left politics or it’ll definitely fail. It’s why you need to get your sportsball folks off X and onto Bluesky, the official app of sports.

Bluesky's new CEO Toni Schneider on the platform's reputation for being a liberal bubble: "Yes, we definitely want that to change. It is already changing. It certainly wasn’t designed to attract one specific group of people."

you look at every part of this roster and understand intuitively why they simply had to select a running back at 3 overall

what are peoples' favorite big laughs in nolan movies

A Chris Nolan movie about the guy who invented the Dunussy popcorn bucket grappling with the domino effect he unwittingly began, à la Oppenheimer and Odysseus

The New York Times@nytimes.com · 4w ago

Special-edition popcorn buckets designed for major movies have become astonishingly lucrative. AMC Theatres estimates that this year, buckets will generate $100 million in revenue, nearly double the level of 2023. nyti.ms/4wm3zne

Ok I get it lol

Genuine question, why is there a general consensus to root against Argentina? Ngl I thought we all liked Messi more than that lol. Like I get it’s different now that he finally has one already, but I still think it’d be at least reasonably cool to see him lead them to a second at this age.

Walked into the odyssey in 70mm on friday expecting a reasonably good and fun movie, and left the theater feeling like I just witnessed movie history. Unbelievably good film.

He just like me fr

Tom Cruise couldn't stop saying that 'The Odyssey' was 'so fucking sick' while watching it ⚔️

the degree to which they want to destroy one of the jewels of the American republic—our exceptional research universities—is just gobsmacking

Congrats we just made it impossible to come here for a PhD www.bostonglobe.com/2026/07/16/m...

Ok it’s actually “and your plan is to blackmail this person????”

England didn’t deserve to win it the year they left Trent home for no reason anyway

These teams are just beating the shit out of each other lol

An incredible euphemism here for “the government is doing illegal discrimination”

Zach Wilson is one of the funniest players of all time

Dan Pizzuta@danpizzuta.bsky.social · last mo.

Among quarterbacks with 1000 dropbacks since 2021, Jordan Love has the fourth-lowest rate of plays with -1 EPA or worse. The disconnect is some of his bad interceptions can look like the worst interception you've ever seen, but too many people anchor to those and not every other play he makes.

They’re saying this is how Lindsey Graham went out

This World Cup has been like a March madness with one or two fun upsets and cinderellas but the final four is just all four 1-seeds. Very “2008 men’s NCAA tournament” vibes.

“Sunlight on demand” and is this demand in the room with us right now?

AkaSci@akasci.bsky.social · last mo.

The FCC approves the deployment of the first Reflect Orbital satellite, which will provide sunlight-on-demand to customers, dismissing objections from over 1,600 public comments on potential harm to astronomy and the environment. www.pcmag.com/news/fcc-app... #Astronomy

Time for me to break this one out again

mitchell atencio (he·him·his)@mitchellatencio.com · last mo.

this is just pathetic. besides two MASSIVE leaps in logic ("wanting to tax the rich is the same logic as assassination; it's also antisemitism"), you'd think a *Christian* magazine might engage *Christian* arguments about how to treat the wealthy. they are barely referenced, solely to be ignored

This is both insane and tragic, but unfortunately my attention is entirely transfixed by the apparent existence of “Toledo, Argentina”

A pilot jumped out of the door of a moving plane to his death, leaving the student he was teaching to fly to land the aircraft by herself. The student said he told her, "You know what you have to do, carry on."

I’m sorry Donovan Mitchell is making HOW much money? The ~fifteenth best player in the NBA getting considerably more AAV than anyone in literally any other team sport, lmao

The reason the left has to hold their candidates accountable for things like rape and SA while the right doesn’t is that we’re the good guys and they’re the bad guys. Unfortunately it’s that simple. If u don’t like it be a republican

The Brazil 7-1 thing was terrible but they're not as much of a soccer nation as we are. This is worse

This is like when the only game the Knicks lost the entire last three rounds of the playoffs was the one Trump was at

Yeah so it turns out Tim Ream is really old y’all

Beast mode from Tony Gilroy here

I’m kinda disappointed we don’t get to watch Ronaldo insist on staying on the pitch for thirty more minutes, moving less and less until the grass claims him for its own
