It's Derelicte! They're ripping off Mugatu www.nytimes.com/2026/08/19/t...

That might be the most amazing goal I’ve seen. Capo Verde is at risk of the biggest upset in years.

Heartbreaking own goal. Was rooting for an underdog story here. Going to goals would have been amazing.

My favorite St Louis bar, The Royale, has a new cocktail, “the Reflecting Pool”. You can get it with a side of bubbly to help clear it up.

This is why we need the humanities more than ever. David Lay Williams tells us what the Platonic dialogue "Gorgias" can teach us about trillionaires. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/21/o...

In an amazing lapse of infosec, Thiel’s secret society got leaked. Amazing job here by the reporter and needless to say, no one on this list can be trusted. Association with Thiel is basically announcing your desire to be a future lord/noble in his Technofeudalist state.

If he were elected the supreme leader of Iran the Dems would celebrate his departure and new job. He lost this because he completely capitulated and had to give them half a billion of our tax dollars to reopen the strait.

Good news friends! Our colleagues at a number of elite institutions have decided to update the Harper's Letter. This time in a moral panic of grievances about the left being, your guessed it, mean to them in higher ed. www.chronicle.com/article/has-...

They want affirmative action for heterodox ideas. They don't want to have to compete for publication alongside their colleagues where they're being dismissed, or do the hard work of starting their journals or winning respect through scholarship and work. They want equal time just for being them.

Must have been those intolerant left wingers again! Not letting people share their ideas! Attacking people for sharing their printouts of their editorial in a medical journal! Oh wait, it was a doctor ejected for criticizing Trump? Huh. That doesn't fit. www.chronicle.com/article/a-pr...

The only solution is for others to take control of these wayward departments and make sure we get DEI for racists back. Need those conservative white male voices, that apparently can't cut it on their own two feet without a little equity and inclusion help from the grievance brigade.

Where are they being suppressed? Well, the usual, "social" determinants of crime for instance. Wait, the left wing ivory tower isn't discussing social determinants of crime now? Wait a minute, "social", I see, we cant say what we really want to see which is "racial".

Basically, dressed in a patina of academia talk, authors cherry pick some examples of the "intolerant" left in academia saying woke stuff like women in hunter-gatherer societies hunted too, and then being proven wrong within a year by other colleagues. This, you see, is dysfunction.

I think there must be enough degenerate gamblers that don’t smoke that a nonsmoking Vegas casino would be a major draw. Why are we hosting medical conferences in these buildings full of second hand smoke? It’s bananas. Blew my nose this morning and my snot is black. Indoor smoking is so gross.

And the crazy thing is when I was kid *all* buildings were like this. It’s hard to believe we ever tolerated people making everything smell gross. Now Ive got to dry clean all my suits again, this sucks. I might have to put the kabosh on future conferences here. The whole city is an ashtray.

I think as science communicatiors we’re not doing a good job in the moment. Where are the skeptics boldly going out and saying the bubble being built around space exploration is not ever going to happen? Even Neil Degrasse Tyson, despite pointing out the stupidity, is kinda going along with it.

I would like to see a Astrophysicist on CNBC patiently explain what a magnetosphere is and also how there is no atmosphere to speak of, or liquid water, or *any reason to go at all*.
