Gianni Infantino's colossal, Kushner-backed backfire isn't quite the story of good actors stopping bad. It's the story of — surprise! — a political strategy that is so incompetent that it's basically indistinguishable from malice: youtu.be/EFT7_PIh6w4?...

I should be clear that the architecture of Bluesky makes it the social media place I most like to be. I'm not on social media to be an influencer or instigator; I want to hang out with folks and have an enjoyable time. This place delivers on that. I hope it continues to do so for a long time.
Odysseus turns to the camera: "we are a people of the sea. Sea peoples, if you will. What role will we play in the coming of a new age?" ::camera pans over the snoldering ruins of village where an angry man is hammering an iron sword::
open all borders. stop having them be closed 🇺🇦🇱🇹🇵🇸🏴@dov.bsky.social · 2w ago"Our age of bronze is collapsing" being an actual line made me feel violently ill. We get it, Nolan. You read a book. You know the lore. Shut up.
Batman in The Dark Knight (2008): I have to use mass surveillance tools in order to save Gotham. I struggle with this, but will have to learn to live with my decision. Spider-Man in Brand New Day (2026): I'm scanning the faces of everyone in NYC and IDGAF 🤪😜
Top 5 performances in THE ODYSSEY 1. Robert Pattinson (extremely funny) 2. Matt Damon 3. Samantha Morton (one of the best female characters Nolan has ever written) 4. Himesh Patel (enjoyed how every single one of his lines had a “Jesus Christ man” subtext) 5. Argus the Dog (good boy)
So that’s the thing to know, if you’re a tabloid that’s going to name-check me in another round of transphobic shit about Bluesky discourse. I don’t stand with you. I stand with my trans friends and family members. ⏹️
It's Little Tiny Ass Dick Month. If you celebrate, you probably got a stupid ass nasty little dick. Go fuck your self

People potentially subject to the nyc pied-à-terre tax are being treated with 1% of the administrative hostility of SNAP and Medicaid applicants, and they’re throwing 100x the fit
🇹🇳 Over the last few weeks, I've caught a lot folks who don't follow Tunisia on a regular basis wondering what protests in the country -- be it around the five year anniversary of Kais Saied's power grab or the widespread electricity and water cuts -- might mean.

American Gentry
The jet-setting cosmopolitans of popular imagination exist, but they are far outnumbered by a less exalted and less discussed elite group, one that sits at the pinnacle of America’s local hierarchies.

Sarah Taber@sarahtaber.bsky.social · 6d agoMost rural areas have a ruling class. And they want cheap unfree workers & to pass their fiefdoms on tax-free forever. It ain't rocket science. The fact that we're scared to talk about THAT, ime, is what's costing us a lot of rural voters!
Homer could’ve saved us all these debates about which translation of the Odyssey is the best if he’d just written it in English in the first place

Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani@mayor.nyc.gov · 2w agoNYC’s small business owners have said it over and over: endless paperwork and uncertainty has made getting their stores up and running too difficult. So we’re cutting red tape, eliminating redundant permits (did you know you need a permit just to serve some ice cream?), and speeding up inspections.

Insane new research. Scientists gave asthma patients free electric stoves to replace their gas stoves, then checked to see if symptoms improved. Not only did symptoms improve, ditching gas was *better than medicine.* Details in today's newsletter: www.climatecoloredgoggles.com/p/electric-s...
Researchers used electric stoves to treat asthma. It worked.

I enjoyed The Odyssey (2026) but I have one historical nitpick. The phrase “Jiminy Christmas” is a minced oath for “Jesus Christ”. As the story is set around 1200 B.C. it is unlikely that Odysseus would have said the phrase even once, let alone the dozens of times he says it in the film
Total woke cultural victory. We're bringing pronouns back. It is now illegal to be a white male. We're doing May Day parades just for HR ladies.
It's 15 minutes to kick-off of the first MLS game in 2 months, the first since the start of this hugely successful World Cup. There is no pregame show. There is no scene-set that explains the first half of the season. There is nothing to welcome new viewers and connect the league to the past month.
it's the biggest technological revolution of our lifetimes and you almost never hear about it (because it threatens to bankrupt many of the fossil fuel interests who currently run our society)
