#Argentina was the kid in school who always waited until the laaaaaast minute to get their homework done… #WorldCup

The Cape Verde national football team given a heroes' welcome back in Praia after their historic run in the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Cape Verde became the smallest nation by population to ever reach the knockout stage of the tournament, all without having a single yellow card rescinded. #worldcup

I’m no landscaper, but this seems like an odd time to water the pitch #USMNT #WorldCup

Gooool for TELEMUNDO who not only refuse to run ads during the mandatory hydration breaks, but also straight up just announced that hydration breaks are necessary because of dangerous heat caused by fossil fuel-driven climate change. Bravo Telemundo. #worldcup #futbol

The day is hot

We keep assuming there will be this thing called history.

Robert Reich@rbreich.bsky.social · last mo.

With heat waves shattering temperature records across the globe, leading to needless deaths, let me just say that history will not look fondly on those who put fossil fuel profits above saving the planet.

Can someone please explain what NED and MAR are doing right now? Are they going to do this all 30 min of ET?!?

It’s my 26th ancient relic from each country in the #WorldCup. It’s SOUTH KOREA 🇰🇷 This is a Moon Jar. These jars became enormously popular for Korean elites in the Joseon period from c.1600 to 1750. The evocative name was only coined in the 20th century. Only 20 examples taller than 40cm survive.

It’s my 28th ancient relic from each country in the #WorldCup. It’s NETHERLANDS 🇳🇱 The oldest planetarium in the world was built in Friesland from 1774 to 1781 by Eise Eisinga, a wool carder & amateur astronomer. It was built into the roof of the living room of his canal house.

this is one of those disheartening instances where truth requires full as much bolstering as error

Is the Australian team playing rugby? #USMNT #WorldCup

you know this guy absolutely, positively knows this shit inside and out because he looks like the pooliest pool guy whoever pooled

As luck would have it, Sean from New York, who used to work for a pool company, was nearby to talk about this blue stuff.

Mamdani giving a speech at the Knicks victory parade and Obama giving a speech at the opening of his Presidential Library on the same day is the BARBENHEIMER of oratory, it's MAMBAMA

As a physicist I find this hilarious. The angle of the photo is so shallow that it’s almost impossible to see the color of the water; at that angle, in that lighting, the water almost 100% just reflects the sky. So congrats to Dept of Interior for figuring out how to make the water blue, I guess?

they're baghdad bob'ing the reflecting pool btw

People are going to grab pieces of this and keep it as a souvenir. It will be this generation's Berlin Wall.

Here at the Reflecting Pool where a big chunk ofTrump's blue paint-apoxie has peeled off the bottom of the pool and is bobbling in the water.

At #AAS248 and saw this poster which explains really well the value of a liberal science education and why I originally came to UIS. Is it true? Absolutely, I can friends and colleagues with astronomy education who have gotten into many of these professions.
