Literally grew up calling my dad’s cousin (who is only five years older than me) ‘auntie’.

In a bit of a tense moment, one of the La Mega co-hosts presses Mamdani on why he "lied" about his "aunt" having been scared to ride the subway after 9/11 while wearing a hijab. Mamdani says it was "not a lie" because he refers to his father's cousin as his "aunt."

Unbelievably low turnout for a compulsory voting electorate. argentina is stuck between milei and peronists and decided to.. mostly vote neither lol

Argentina’s President Javier Milei is celebrating a major win after his party dominated the legislative elections, expanding control in Congress. He has vowed to push ahead with reforms and strengthen ties with the US and Israel. Milei said: “If you could see how beautiful

Do not fall for the lies of c-suites. Not making enough money for endless growth goons is not “inherently unprofitable.” Media is very challenging, yes, but the vultures want you to believe these layoffs are inevitable and necessary.

Just got out of a family symphony concert where they played themes related to space including Dual of the Fates. It kinda sucks that some of John Williams’ best work was wasted on the dog shit prequel movies lmao

Word that the great Drew Struzan, who painted more iconic movie posters in the 1980s & 90s than you can imagine, has entered the final stages of Alzheimers. His wife asked that everyone thinks of him and his work and I'm certainly glad to do so. What a talent.

I think everyone is asleep, so I need to get this out. "First player to have these numbers in a game" culture has ruined the purpose of historically contextualizing player performances. First/only player to have exactly 43 pts, 8 threes, 2 stl, 1 blk on 50% from three or better means nothing!

Scottie Scheffler's 2025 was delayed due to a surgical procedure caused by... cutting himself with a wine glass attempting to make homemade ravioli. So the 2024 tournament winner added it to this year's menu 🍝 📸 The Masters on X

They claim they can snatch people up, put them on planes, and deport them to a country run by an authoritarian, where those people will be forced to work slave labor at an inhumane prison. All without due process, and in defiance of federal courts. The hypotheticals are over. This is the nightmare.

The problem with Dems chasing public opinion is that THE PUBLIC'S VIEW OF THINGS IS JUST MOVING IN RESPONSE TO WHAT POLITICAL FIGURES SAY AND IT'S VERY OBVIOUS IN THE DATA MY GOD

SCOOP: Now that Linda McMahon is confirmed/sworn in as secretary, Trump will be imminently issuing an executive order eliminating the Department of Education. I’ve obtained a draft of an email that McMahon will be sending to staff re: the EO and the department’s “final mission”. Here is a portion:

a good example of how the world is getting dumber. the new politico playbook writer didn't know who FDR was until a reader told him about that whole "new deal" thing. this newsletter is read by every important person in DC.
