Argentina really is Messi plus a bunch of shithousers

New: the highly controversial AI music generator Suno was hacked. The hacker sent us Suno source code; it shows the company scraped YouTube Music, Deezer, and Genius. In all, Suno scraped *decades* worth of music from the internet. Obviously didn't pay artists www.404media.co/hack-reveals...

children's books where the rhyme scheme doesn't work....how do so many of these exist, who allowed this, what happened to our country

editing an article for @physicstoday.aip.org about nuclear arms control efforts in the 1980s and 1990s and learned that @edmarkey.bsky.social cosponsored a measure requiring a moratorium on nuclear testing that passed the House in August 1986. impressive!

well, we kinda deserved that after the last 24 hours. seems like the wet president meddling got Belgium fired up as all hell. also bringing on Doku and Lukaku off the bench is such a flex

You know how Trump fucked the Knicks over by coming to that one Finals game at the Garden? This is why I’m not optimistic about tonight.

A phone call from Donald Trump. A legal strategy from U.S. Soccer. A suspended ban for Folarin Balogun despite FIFA's rules. Inside the decision that has sparked one of the World Cup's biggest-ever controversies: nyti.ms/4eUWsKU

tfw you’re praying the 20-year-old HVAC system in your South Philly rowhome doesn’t crap out

can Trump trade his fake peace prize for Balogun’s eligibility next game?

soccer’s the kicking one

he definitely looks like a Command and Conquer general (extremely complimentary)

kinda love the Bosnian coach rocking a double-breasted suit

this mandatory AI training for work is maybe the most depressing and demoralizing thing i've had to do in my adult life.

This Philly City Hall power couple stands to reap up to $750K by briefly retiring — then continuing to work for the city

City Councilmember Curtis Jones Jr. and City Representative Jazelle Jones are both set to benefit from DROP, a city retirement incentive program which sparked a major scandal in the early 2000s.

let's be real: Trump cursed the Knicks and ruined their mojo.

Another great historical article I edited for @physicstoday.aip.org! Our first-ever feature-length profile of Edward Bouchet, the first Black American to receive a PhD in physics, which he completed 150 years ago at Yale.

Edward Alexander Bouchet, the first African American to receive his PhD, completed his physics degree 150 years ago at @yale.edu. Ronald Mickens provides an overview of his career, which was pathbreaking yet circumscribed by racism. #histSTM #BlackinPhysics

Was scrolling Instagram, and I swear to god I thought this was Mike Francesa

damn, RIP Sonny Rollins, maybe the last living member of the generation that reinvented jazz in the late 1940s and 1950s. so many great records to choose from, but one of my faves is his version of Kurt Weill’s Mack the Knife, the first track on the B side of Saxophone Colossus.

U.S. intel also indicates that Iran retains about 75% of its pre-war inventories of mobile launchers & about 70% of its pre-war stockpiles of missiles, per a U.S. official. The regime has also been able to recover underground storage facilities & repair damaged missiles

Be sure to check out this excellent article from @ryandahn.com which provides substantive context and insight on the Oppenheimer oral history’s that the @aiphistory.bsky.social team recently made openly available online.

turns out beating the Celtics in the playoffs feels really good

A Democratic president with simple majorities in Congress could enact proportional representation for the House—no amendments required. 50%+1 could end the filibuster, expand SCOTUS, expand the House, and enact PR by state. And add new states like D.C. to rebalance the Senate while they’re at it
