Do people know this is the Bosnia manager's first soccer coaching job after a post-playing career of professional poker and constantly criticizing the national team on social media
I'm sympathetic to early EA thought, which was "mosquito nets and deworming treatments are among the most cost effective interventions benefitting humanity, send charity dollars there".
Unfortunately some EAers have since introduced infinities into their calculations, which drove them insane.
hello 👋 i have developed a new tool called blüuümpíi. blüuümpíi will convert every file on your hard drive to a .wav file without asking you, maximize your system volume, and play them on every bluetooth speaker you have ever connected to. if you offer feedback on blüuümpíi i will take legal action
I covered this story for Defector because it falls under two of my beats, Amazon's Reacher News & Views and Suburban Brain Disorder. defector.com/suburban-hom...
given the modern conservative fascination with Sparta it's at least a little funny that they've engineered a situation in which Persia is able to level a dramatically uneven battlefield by forcing the conflict into a narrow pathway
"its hard to talk about a complex and multi-faceted subject that's also one of the most hotly debated topics on the planet that potentially touches many aspects of everyone's lives" yeah man this is the About Forty Words app. why're you trying to do all that on the About Forty Words app
BREAKING: The Democratic National Committee will NOT release its long-awaited autopsy on Trump's 2024 win. The report is completed but Dem leaders decided it could distract from their winning streak, so it will remain secret. Not good.

all of a sudden every service i used this year wants to hit me with emails and push notifications like ‘this is everything you bought online in 2025’ ‘this is every restaurant reservation you made.’ can you guys all just talk to me less. the only thing i want from any of you is to talk to me less
not overreacting or anything, but Dr. Bronner’s de-kookifying their soap labels and adding more graphics is a real “death of the West” moment in this office.
ok one last post -- oldheads are always going to "why is the web dying.... how can we get the kids invested in the free and open web"
bro the kids can't read. that's why the web is dying. first things first
imagine the first caveman who realized he could paint his clan rival as a weak, inferior gatherer of berries while drawing himself as the stronger and more bountiful provider of reindeer meat and hides
2024: hahaha suck it troglodytes, this thing's gonna be replacing your job and dating your girlfriend
2026: we continue to see modest gains at the edges of our applications. we believe 14% of consumers may be ready to spend up to three dollars a month on this by end of Q4
Pizzagate: If you replace the word “hot dog” with “little boy” and “pizza party” with “child sex orgy,” you will see the lengths these elites go to cover up their crimes.
Real elite emails: Send me nude pictures of those 8th graders we abused last weekend post-haste! I am the Ambassador to Turkey.
You can't live your life based on hate - that way lies madness and bitterness - but allowing yourself to slip into hater mode from time to time is a lovely little treat, like a drunk cigarette or a decadent slice of cake
basically every 2024 truism is dead. Trump did not build a lasting multiracial coalition or turn young men into committed Republicans. You don’t need to cave on trans rights to win. The pundits have nothing left to tell you.
Zohran Mamdani caught lying that he understood Plato’s allegory of the cave, yet when asked to explain it, he seemed to instead explain Baudrillard’s theory of Simulacra and Simulation where reality has been replaced by symbols and signs, which seems similar to Plato’s theory but is not the same
It is tacky for really famous people to be in TV commercials for products. Their gambling debts/boat repairs are not my problem, those roles should belong to actors like the Time To Make The Donuts guy and the actress who said "who are you calling a cootie queen you lint licker" in that Orbit ad.
the actual story here, which the media never talks about, is that police in this country have become a discrete right-wing political operation. the story isn't about cops leaving (they're lying about that), it's about the police trying to exert influence over elections.
it's pretty wild to be doing "stop being racist to my computer friend" discourse when the forces of Actual Racism are totally ascendant in government and inventing new ways to arrest people for their skin color every day
