I'm simultaneously told I'm too blunt with people, while also being regularly accused of *really wanting to say* all sorts of things I strongly reject.

A mother that gives everything for her child, deserves everything. This lady crossed a desert while pregnant to give her boy a chance, and it was his action that won Spain the World Cup.

Precious moment when World Cup winner Nico Williams looks for his family in the stands to give his gold medal to his mother. 🥹

Moral justice won today. Argentina didn't deserve to be in the finals, and they played like that today. Dirty team helped by the refs to get this far. Spain should've beaten them even more.

Jude Bellingham and Erling Haaland really grew on me in this World Cup. They are fundamentally decent guys that don't get portrayed that way enough.

That England vs France game has to be one of the most epic football games I've watched. Easily a classic worth rewatching. Even the misses were worthy of a highlight reel.

AI access inequality is already a major issue in terms of increased personal productivity. A person with a lot of access to AI tools can do so much more and more quickly, compared to a person with the free versions of things like Claude or ChstGPT.

He even repeated it!

Trump: "We had 11 missiles shot by the Islamic Republic of Japan"

😬

Trump attacked Iran and made the country emerge projecting strength. He then attacked their football team, and they emerged projecting dignity and warmth. Trump just taking L's all over.

I love how Iran World Cup players stay classy as American government officials and FIFA fuck them over daily. It is extremely telling. In the face of adversity they stay kind and calm.

I feel like this whole "have kids" thing is a scam. They just end up eating all your food and taking your stuff. They know they've already got you hooked from your memories of them as adorable little babies.

Musk buying twitter, Bezos buying WaPo, Ellison buying CBS—all are less profitable now. But they’re political investments that increase the value of the new owners’ portfolios Wealth concentration makes this possible, and that’s one mechanism by which inequality destroys democracy

People who say we should only view others as individuals often change their minds when the topic turns to immigration.

It's quite telling how predictive race is in the outcome of trials involving claims of self-defense. The consistency of this pattern is enlightening.

FIFA showing that their "Let's Kick Racism Out of Football" campaign is a farce when the perpetrator is the Trump regime. This referee's only issue is that he's Somali, and that's enough to get him barred from entering the US for the World Cup. www.bbc.com/sport/footba...

World Cup 2026: Somali referee Omar Artan to miss tournament after being barred from entering US

Omar Artan, who was set to be the first Somali to referee at the World Cup finals, is dropped from the list of officials after he was denied entry to the United States.

Mr Excitement, per pool, didn’t not react to the Knicks tying up the game

"These executives cannot gain the trust of the staff with lies. This is antithetical to everything we stand for and reveals contempt for what journalists do." This statement will be on point for every one of these journalistic enterprises taken over by right wing billionaires.

In a statement to @benmullin.bsky.social, Scott Pelley disputes what Bari Weiss said in this morning's editorial meeting, claiming he was never offered "a way back" as she claimed. "These executives cannot gain the trust of the staff with lies. This is antithetical to everything we stand for..."

The greatest evidence that the whole "cancel culture" thing was nonsense is the behavior of those who used to scream about it the most. Bari Weiss' CBS provides the millionth piece of evidence.

Unless your alternative map is just as racist as the legislature's map, your map isn't acceptable. What a wild position for the conservatives to take on the court.

BREAKING: In an unsigned, per curiam opinion on the shadow docket, the SCOTUS conservatives allow Alabama to use a congressional map held repeatedly by a lower court to have been enacted with discriminatory intent.

I just realized that when It Happens, Fox News is going to be so weird to watch -- solemn, tear-filled tributes to America's Most President™ interspersed with angry coverage denouncing the millions and millions of Americans celebrating in the streets.

I'm still shocked when Trump fans still argue that the Trump admin isn't blatantly racist. Then when you show them clear cut examples, they are surprised and try to figure out a way to explain it away. For them racism is a vibe rather than an ideology.

Describing frank and open racism and sexism euphemistically is supporting frank and open racism and sexism.

Before I knew who wrote this, I was already thinking how strange and incoherent the writing seemed. Turns out it's a piece by Thomas Chatterton-Williams. So that tracks...

You might think it's racist to melt down about the appearance of a black woman in a movie, but have you considered that progressives do a totally different thing?

It's wild that Arsenal ended up winning the Premier League title by a comfortable 7 points after it felt so unlikely the entire season.

Did I take the time to do this in my head? Yes, I did. 🤓 This is definitely a difficult math problem to do in your head though, and I don't for a second believe Trump did something like that.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 2mo ago

Trump on his cognitive test: "It had a question like, 'pick a number, sir, any number.' Okay. 203. 'Multiple by 9. Divide by 2. Add on 1,324. Subtract 1,292. Sir, multiply it out one more time by 19. What is the answer, sir?' I got it right."

Life hack: don't take advice from those who would prefer to see you fail.

I still don't know how to process. I've been an Arsenal fan for decades. There has been so much disappointment and so many heartbreaks. But we're Premier League Champions now. It's no longer a hope, it's really real. #Arsenal

For administrative tasks, people will say it takes twice as much time as it does if they want to get rid of it, and half the time it does if they want to keep it.

Always complicated to explain, but it's as logical to describe people of the ancient world as "white" or "black" as it is to describe them as liberal or conservative.

Way too many people think AI will go away if they just hate it enough. This includes many who don't understand they've already been using AI for years now.

Luca Salami.@lucasalami.bsky.social · 3mo ago

I am not at all an AI defender but it's really funny that people treat experienced professionals like fucking idiots if they're anywhere near it. Oh you've been a dev for 2 decades but think Claude is handy for something, guess your brain fell out your ass.

A lot of people are going to be using AI to create applications that already exist, but after spending much more on token usage than the price of those existing applications.
