The English Premier League finished this year with 14 teams (out of 20) having a goal difference between -10 and 10. In the last five seasons preceding, that number was eight, five, five, eight, and four. What a weird season.

Greg Gutfeld will never outshine Stephen Colbert
Fox News tries to credit Gutfeld's show for Colbert's cancellation — but the facts tell a different story

Chk out my new piece on the first time that CBS sacrificed satire and caved to pressure. It is a good reminder that they may be cancelling Colbert, but satire will adapt and thrive. #colbert #colbertcancellation #satire #smothersbrothers #CBS #Paramount www.salon.com/2025/07/25/s...
Stephen Colbert wasn’t CBS’s first satirical sacrifice
Caving to pressure from two presidents, the network fired the Smothers Brothers in 1969

Just for everyone who sees this? This is exactly the level of rigor and dedication NYT has practiced in regards to its entire body of work on trans kids, affirmative action, and progressive policies. this is what they've always been. They just fluked up where everyone could see it this time.
capitolhunters@capitolhunters.bsky.social · last yr.The saga of the NYT's anti-Mamdani story taken from notorious white supremacist Jordan Lasker (they call him an "academic") gets even more amazing: Lasker's only impactful paper, which claimed white people are smarter, is infamous: it misused data so badly it got his tenured co-author fired. 2/
There will now be 10,000 new ICE agents & 100,000 new detention beds--and few safeguards protecting people from constitutional violations by the feds. Time for states to pass laws allowing people to sue fed agents. Read about it these "converse-1983" statutes here: papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....
I find that Claude and ChatGPT both reliably tune any statements about AI to be subtly or overtly more positive.
It's no more popular than it was yesterday, and it's just a lot of pieces of paper unless people treat it like something that carries some sort of obligation. That's the way we should be thinking at this point, if we aren't already.
