These riots are about the bored nihilism of young men, mostly, not about education www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/1...

I am in no way sympathetic to the riots in France. At the same time, nor do I see them as some harbinger of the end of civilization. I mainly see it as France being France.

Ten years ago today. In just the last few days: Trump made a deal for the U.S. to buy Russian diesel, an economic lifeline for Putin; he and Elon Musk blamed each other for an order that slowed down Starlink satellite connectivity over Ukraine...

Zelenskyy: "Prices are rising because of the war in the Middle East, the blocking of Hormuz. Everyone understands it. If we want to speak with people fairly, if we want to be clear, if we want to speak with our nations openly, people have to hear reality. Don't play games with people."

ESPN had Ted Cruz on 'College GameDay' in a conversation with Rece Davis for nearly 10 minutes. Cruz was heavily booed by the crowd -- and heard "Ted, you suck!" chants -- in Austin.

Having an entire article written about how you’re a lazy slob who doesn’t want to work is one of the most embarrassing things that happen to you.

¡¡VAMOS!!

That was a goal and this is a shameless decision by the referee

I don’t know what this adoration of Lamine Yamal is… he’s young and good, but it seems people project their politics onto him. In any case, every time he handles the ball he goes for the most complicated thing he can think of and his team loses possession. Not a good thing.

ArgenFIFA

Like always,the American need to inject their politics into everything ends up destroying them.US Soccer for sure was complicit in the blatant corruption at the WC and it was a distraction for the players who were humiliated in front of a loyal crowd.Lost the little respect they had from the world.

Is there anything less interesting than being a Messi fan?

"He only did some amazing stuff during a pandemic and a Russian invasion of central Europe, and left one of the best economies in 35 years, but he didn't completely overhaul the Supreme Court." Also, he didn't vow to serve one term. Good Lord, some Democrats are impossible to please

Interesting that the difference in WC goals between Ronaldo and Messi is the 4 penalties Argentina was gifted in Qatar and the 3 goals Messi scored after he committed an obvious red card foul in which nothing was called.

Far from a sign of victory, this new pact is an acknowledgment that the U.S. cannot solve the problem of Iran with either a war or economic pressure, Nancy A. Youssef, Russell Berman, and Vivian Salama report:

Shocking and offensive, also for the fact that FIFA doesn't protest www.politico.com/news/2026/06...

crazy that if you harbor self-hate you will think that everyone hates you, but there's only one man in the US who can visit new york city and get boo'd from every corner of madison square garden and general city

On the other place, Hugh Laurie just delivered a Death of Expertise smackdown for the ages

82 years ago, 14,000 Canadians landed on Juno Beach, many of whom would never come home.   On the anniversary of D-Day, we pause to honour those who served and sacrificed.

One reply nailed it: "Every sentence here is more insane than the last".

It's remarkable how many times we've gotten a "we have agreed to a deal except for the contents of said deal" news cycle

You come to me, on the day of my son's wedding, which I am not attending

Seems the more money you have the bigger of an ass kisser you have to be.

US universities genuinely are like “welcome to Tennessee Agricultural College in Bumfuck Nowheresville. We invented the modern potato and our facilities include a particle accelerator, nuclear reactor, and TOP500 supercomputer. Tuition is $12,000 for instate students and we have 40,000 of them”

this is really heartwarming. two men exchanging symbolic tokens of things the other has no interest in (football, peace)

American students are falling behind, and the most common explanations overlook the main problem, Idrees Kahloon argued in 2025:

Good news. This person is RFK level insane

The acting head of the CDC has canceled the publication of a study that found that the Covid vaccine sharply cut the odds of hospitalizations and emergency visits last winter, a Health Department spokesman said.

The damage Netanyahu has done to Israel's standing in the world is incalculable. He basically wedded his country to an authoritarian movement in the United States that Americans, sooner or later, are going to soundly reject.

I don't recall any previous transformative technologies that had to be sold to the public so hard. No one in 1999 was going, "Guys. Cell phone? It's coming, whether we like it or not. I think it's important, FOR WOMEN ESPECIALLY, to learn about cell phone. So that we're not left behind!!"

Pope Leo XIV: Jesus told us, blessed are the peacemakers. But woe to those who manipulate religion and the very name of God for their own military, economic, or political gain, dragging that which is sacred into darkness and filth.

no one is doing it like jd vance, a loser across three continents in a single weekend

Surprised JD Vance wasn't able to close a deal with the Iranians. His only skill is saying whatever people want to hear.

imagine arguing with your devout catholic grandma and shouting "the pope is WEAK on crime"

🇭🇺

I love this photo of astronaut Christina Koch looking back at Earth from Artemis II. She's the first woman to see the full sphere of our beautiful planet. Welcome home to the crew, and thank you for reminding us of all we can discover together.

The pope called Trump’s threat to kill Iranian civilization “truly unacceptable” earlier this week.

I hope all the people who voted against Genocide Joe are feeling good this morning

"It is in the power of any man to begin a war, but he cannot end it when he pleases," Machiavelli

As the astronauts of the Artemis II mission emerged from the other side of the moon, they experienced yet another breathtaking sight: a solar eclipse, from a vantage never witnessed by any human being. See more photos released on Tuesday by NASA. nyti.ms/4tzKL21

Breaking news: The crew of NASA’s Artemis II mission has zoomed more than 248,655 miles from Earth — farther than any other humans — as they make a historic 10-day voyage around the far side of the moon.

Today’s Artemis II launch marks a major step forward in space exploration. I have had the privilege of spending time with this crew and seeing their discipline and commitment up close. As they begin this mission, I am wishing them a safe journey and a safe return home.

A federal judge ordered the Trump administration to pause construction on its White House ballroom pending congressional authorization, throwing the $400 million project’s future into question.

i swear this gov is a TV show. the head of intelligence got hacked and used his real name for a porn account. the head of dept of war accidentally texted war plans to a journalist. and now former head of homeland security grappling with husband's secret cross-dressing double life in anti-LGBTQ admin

A Snow Leopard caught on a trail cam.

En tu casa y en tu cara #Venezuela

why aren't other countries helping us with the strait of hormuz after we started an unjust war, cut off trade, and insulted them for a year?

"President Trump will hit the home run, score the touchdown and win the marathon. He will bring home the bacon AND fry it up in a pan. He will bring in the funk, he will kick out the jams. And I assure you -- he will, he will rock you."

Breaking News: The U.S. was responsible for a missile strike on an Iranian elementary school, an ongoing military investigation found. The inquiry said the strike — which Iranian officials said killed at least 175 people, most of them children — was the result of a targeting mistake.
