Today in @thenation.com: a harrowing piece written from inside the Dilley ICE detention center by Maryam Tahmasebi, a green card holder who's been locked up along with her husband and son for months despite none of them committing any crime. www.thenation.com/article/soci...

There are people, Will Stancil is a good example, who I followed when joining this app because a) not a ton of people were here b) seemed aligned with my general Twitter world. It's really nice to unfollow some of these people who I realized have just been elevated due to early adoption.

I love how the casting director of JURASSIC PARK was like, "okay, but hear me out" and cast these four weirdos as the leads of a multi-million dollar four quadrant blockbuster.

Fuck VAR. Egypt was just robbed of the goal of the tournament because of a foul 100 yards before the play. This is not what it was intended for. The ref saw the play and let it go.

Watching how much two all time greats like Henri and Zlatan detest Alexi Lalas is just so satisfying. After referring to the French side as "arrogant" for a 0-0 halftime, Zlatan crushes the z-list American "star" with "ignorant people call it arrogance, intelligent people call it confidence."

@markgongloff.bsky.social might want to get your web team to update the photo on your Jensen Huang story to the correct tech CEO.

Wrexham choked when it mattered most. Four goal opportunities in the last 5 minutes and nada.

The President is openly threatening genocide. A crime against humanity. He must be removed from office. The 25th Amendment must be invoked. If not, Congress has to do our damn job. Speaker Johnson, call us into session. War powers & impeachment. Remove this man from office.

The owner of Amazon killed the Washington Post books section.

ICE officers tell media that the conduct in Minneapolis is part of a plan by Stephen Miller to provoke as much violence and death as possible—which in turn will be taken as pretext for more. “They’re essentially operating now in a resource constraint-free environment and doing very dangerous things”

Today is the most humiliating day in the history of the United States of America. At least until tomorrow.

A reminder that you are free to look at a video online, decide what it means, and proclaim that to anyone who'll listen. The NYT, NPR, CNN and all other journalists can't do that, out of professional responsibility and their own vulnerability at this moment. Give the journalists time to work.

Every part of this is bonkers. The intro is bonkers. The transition to his health is bonkers. The mention that other presidents didn't need cognitive exams is bonkers. The claim that this screening test is somehow hard is bonkers. The idea that criticism of him is treason is bonkers. All of it.

They are beating people who maybe once had a broken taillight and sending them to foreign slave prisons while freeing the worst fraudsters and every corrupt pol. The juxtaposition is so stark and appalling.

This is insane. And I'm glad the announcer brought up the Randy Johnson bird incident because that's where my mind went to.

Great piece by Zadie Smith. When the right talks about classics or "Western" culture, these works are only important to the extent that it demonstrates their superiority, they have no interest in art in and of itself beyond that www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Really well said.

Hero.

This is absolutely nuts. Needs serious amplification and coverage.

The amount of empty seats at this incredible #USOpen women's semi is criminal. Scalpers, bots and corporate sponsors combine to make what is shaping up as an all-time match look so sad. NYC can and should be better. #tennis

Lil' Eyeball is the breakout star of the TV season. Prove me wrong. #iykyk #alienearth

It's an extremely right-wing suburban-coded view of New York City, which makes sense because Andrew Cuomo is a right-winger who lives in the suburbs and not New York City.

This is your periodic reminder that Hollywood has failed us by not doing a movie starring Johnson, Isaac, and Krumholtz as brothers.

Boone not bunting there is just another reason why he's overstayed his welcome for years. Glad he'll stand up for his players and get tossed here and there, but he's a horrible strategist. Routinely out-coached.

When Trump said to reporters protesters supposedly "spitting" on police and "we will protect law enforcement" not one reporter said, What about January 6th? Why did you pardon cop assaulters? Not one news anchor has asked Kristi Noem, Tom Homan, Stephen Miller, making rounds. It's all forgotten.

The Knicks have some good basketball players. However, they are not a good basketball team.

1. Jose Hermosillo is US citizen who was wrongly jailed in an immigration detention facility for 10 days The administration says he "turned himself in" to the Border Patrol and told them he was a Mexican who crossed the border illegally. I interviewed Hermosillo. He says the government is lying.

The Trump administration inheriting the Biden economy

This is fantastic sports journalism right here. 10/10

NEW: Susan Crawford's win in Wisconsin isn't just a huge rebuke to Elon Musk. It's also a rebuke to the model of democracy that Musk has been defending—billionaire-driven, and with mounting restrictions on voter access. Bolts reports (always read Alex Burness): boltsmag.org/wisconsin-su...

Cool, we're breaking records while they break laws. Awesome. Now what?

Just so everybody understands, Booker has been speaking cogently about the issues the entire time and Strom Thurmond famously spent hours reading from the encyclopedia, because segregationists were and are dumbshits

Paul Weiss and Columbia are taking exactly the wrong actions in acceding to Trump, and they are among the entities most well-positioned to fight back. These are legacy-shaming decisions by the leadership of both, and those far less powerful will now, and surely in short order, pay the price.

Are we going to sacrifice our universities, our science, our industry, our economy, our Congress, our government, our Constitution because everyone agrees that Trump's 49.9% places him beyond critique, makes him all-powerful? Why are our institutions enduring this, to their own destruction?

www.nhpr.org/nh-news/2025... His mother "described Schmidt being 'violently interrogated' at Logan Airport for hours, and being stripped naked, put in a cold shower" and "pressured" to give up his green card

Never trust a company where the CEO or Founder stars in the TV commercials. I promise. A rule to live by.

Is there a record for the most times an NBA team has been embarrassed in a nationally televised game in a single season? #knicks @ny-knicks.bsky.social #nyknicks #nba #basketball

Don't ever complain about how far gone Biden was ever again. This dude is a husk of a human being powered by the fumes of his last dosage of Adderall. Every sentence out of his mouth recently has been unintelligible drivel.

Let me correct that for you "Former NFL player and Webby Winner Chris Kluwe...". Way to go man. Kluwe always fighting the good fight.

Sorry but if you're one of those people who call a "song" a "record," we're just not gonna vibe. A record is an album not a song. Come at me :)

So much appreciation for Thibs getting us here but he won't get us over the line if he continues to be so rigid with his schemes. So frustrating. #knicks #nyknicks

it's time to stop giving your time and money to journalists and news outlets that can't call a duck a duck the hour is growing very late and these preposterous assholes in charge are precisely what they appear to be

Man, if I could be a fly on the wall watching Cheryl and RFK Jr. talk about that McDonald's photo. It's unreal how real life has become a Curb episode.
