When technology feels like a force for good in the world, shoppers open their wallets for synthetic fabric. Now isn’t one of those times.

Tim Curry’s commitment to silliness was “why he was able to imbue even his villains with a particular allure,” Emma Stefansky argues. She examines the actor’s turn as the reticent butler in “Clue”:

Black leaders across the South have expressed a visceral shock in the wake of the Supreme Court’s decision gutting the Voting Rights Act. But as the surprise wears off, a sense of isolation has begun to set in among some. 🔗 politi.co/4vSW46T

So if we don’t allow Athletes to bet on games that they have the ability to influence… Why do we allow Congress to invest in companies they regulate?

We extend our deepest condolences to the family, friends, teammates, and loved ones of Nolan Xavier Wells. Too many Black men and boys are denied the opportunity to grow older, to fulfill their purpose. May his legacy live on through all who knew and loved him ❤️

Wish they had.

Historian of science Margaret Rossiter (b #OTD in 1944) coined the term #MatildaEffect (1993). Named after suffragist Matilda Joslyn Gage, the Matilda Effect describes a systemic bias where women's scientific achievements are ignored, minimized, or directly attributed to their male colleagues. 1/3

Paxton warned Texans not to lie about their address to vote. Then voted six times from an address he'd already moved out of. Somebody call the tip line on the guy who runs the tip line.

What does a wealth tax actually look like? We sent Brighty Buoy and his tiny balls to Wimbledon to chat to fans 🎾

This all day this!! @cnn.com @mssnbd.bsky.social @maddow.bsky.social

ICE is not about immigration. ICE is not about the southern border. ICE is about normalizing paramilitary force on our streets. It cannot be reformed. It cannot be retrained. ICE must be abolished.

Another breathtaking video released by the Ukrainian drone forces. The Russian losses on sea are escalating. Ukrainian mid-Range drones continue to slaughter the Russian shadow fleet. We are now at 19 hit Russian fuel tankers, one cargo ship and one ferry in less than 24h.

NEW: Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton appears to have used an address where he did not live while voting in six elections in the past two years — despite warning voters that “it is illegal to misrepresent your residence on election records.” with @texastribune.org

Hey Texans: Is this really what your Christian values look like?

Same.. except that real housewives is my therapy 😂

You know what USA team has won 4 World Cups and didn't need the president to step in and cheat for them? The Women's soccer team.

An Afghan national who fought alongside U.S. forces has died from an allergic reaction while in ICE custody, one day after he was detained for deportation proceedings, his death certificate shows. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

See how easy it is to admit when you were wrong about something

The Houston Chronicle, largest newspaper in Houston endorse James Talarico! 👏 Writing, “Texans deserve better than Ken Paxton’s moral rot’… Paxton’s documented deeds prove he’s a man of low character, lacking integrity. An extremely very poor candidate for an even more powerful political office.

The Tohono O’odham Nation, a reservation the size of Connecticut in southern Arizona, is fighting to stop construction of a border wall on their land. Losing could be a devastating blow to future claims of Indian sovereignty, Geraldo L. Cadava argues:

Nobody is making profits. It is going to burst and it is going to take all those data centers with it. Keep your skills. Practice your crafts. Hold on to your books. Stay sharp.

On Juneteenth, a black man scores for the U.S. in the World Cup. Oh, and his name is Freeman. Happy Juneteenth! www.nfl.com/news/alex-fr...

Leak reveals prominent Texans connected to Peter Thiel's secret society. A Swiss hacker has revealed that several prominent Texans are either members or attended Thiel's secretive policy forum. www.chron.com/texas/articl...

On June 19th, 1865, federal forces arrived in Texas and finally announced that all enslaved people in Texas were now free. Today, we are STILL fighting for equal representation for all Texans as our rights are under attack through racial gerrymandering and restrictions on voting rights. #Juneteenth

Just a reminder that the US Woman’s team has won the World Cup four times already.

No matter how rosy Wall Street’s expectations on the economy have been lately, they generally underestimated the reality, supporting risk-on moods that propelled the stock market advance. That pillar of support may be dwindling soon.

Good morning to everyone who sometimes wears headphones in public without even playing music just so they will be left alone, and to them only.

Water is one of Texas's most valuable resources. Families need it. Farmers need it. Ranchers need it. Small towns depend on it. That's why Texans shouldn't have to compete with these corrupt bigshots for their own water.

This ⬇️ is a real American hero! Congresswoman Joyce Beatty is a Kennedy Center trustee who sued after the unlawful renaming of the center. Late Friday her suit prevailed and the center’s rightful name was restored. Thank you @repbeatty.bsky.social, we love you! ❤️

When you see the story about how the world now has its first trillionaire, and when you see the story about how laboratories in Congo have run out of supplies to test for Ebola, it is important to understand that in many ways these are the same story.

@mizzwelch.bsky.social were you there?

Haiti play their first men's World Cup game for 52 years on Saturday 🇭🇹 Just qualifying was a remarkable achievement given the difficulties the team, unable to play games in their own nation, faced. May the tournament be a moment of joy and hope for Haiti 💙

Ken Paxton’s own party impeached him. His own staff reported him to the FBI. Now his own defense attorney is endorsing our campaign. Those closest to Ken Paxton know he's unfit for office.

am I the only one who doesn't understand how a company with $18B in revenue is valued at $1.77T?

People have shown up to watch the removal of the orange felon’s disgusting name from the Kennedy Center including thousands more watching live streams. It’s coming TF down!

Telemundo TV commentator: "We are one of the only networks in the world to not show ads during the World Cup cooling breaks. We prefer the old school way. We should be able to see what the players do. We show fans, people enjoying, not the corporate direction of football."
