At some point someone just needs to say “you are an indecent person, you are lying to cover the slaughter of defenseless men, you know you are lying, and even under the tenets of your own professed faith you will certainly burn in hell if you continue down this path”
WELKER: Isn't it possible that even the act of taking off a t shirt could've been part of an attempt to get attention for help?
TOM COTTON: Or it could've been an attempt to signal to another cartel boat to come pick them up and pick up the cargo

Fifa are supposed to serve the voters, the national associations, not the other way around.
How many will speak up about how the World Cup has been used to make highly politicised points, and push specific agendas?

On MLS Season Pass/Apple TV, Loons fans loved the picture quality, but had major criticisms about the commentary, eg:
"MLS is an essentially local sport, not national, and it's high time that MLS admit that when it comes to broadcasting and restore local broadcasters to every market."

There will always be strings attached for us peasants, but the elites deserve to have their PPP loans forgiven or their collapsing businesses bailed out or for their inane development projects to be subsidized by public dollars.

Love how Democrats are judged by the most unhinged posts of random weirdos but Republicans are never called to answer for the actions of their elected representatives.
Sen. Bernie Moreno, R-Ohio, just introduced a bill to ban Americans from holding dual citizenship. The bill says that to “preserve the integrity of national citizenship, allegiance to the United States must be undivided.” It’s called the Exclusive Citizenship Act.

Sure, they've made an environmentally catastrophic mass hallucination disinformation plagiarism Clippy that will destabilize the world, but also their other goal is to replace human workers entirely and let us humans starve. A boycott of AI is the most important boycott of your entire life.
"All of this falls apart if humans don't adopt the tech. This is why you've seen Meta cram its lame chatbots into WhatsApp and Instagram. This is why Notepad and Paint now have useless Copilot buttons on Windows. This is why Google Gemini wants to "help you" read and reply to your emails."
Analysis: OpenAI is a loss-making machine, how can it survive?
Don't call it a bubble! Loss-making monster OpenAI is on the hook for $1.4 trillion (with a T) in compute commitments. How can this go on?

ALL you have to do is just not use it, tell these companies you aren't using it, and make fun of people who do. We need a mass collective effort to make genAI extremely uncool, lame, embarrassing, cringe. Everyone needs to react to it with a MOUNTAIN of hostility until they run out of steam.

I mean, if they’re offering him this & he is declining, then there’s nothing to be done about his departure.
I’m sure history will be kind to Nancy, as it typically is to Cup winners, but I think his legacy (is 3 seasons a legacy?) is nothing notable in the annals of trophy winning coaches.

#Crew96 wanted to redo Nancy contract and make him the highest paid coach in #MLS. But Nancy wanted to keep Euro options open, as noted by @brimackay15.bsky.social. Nancy has returned from Europe I’m told. All coaches are off on a break. thedisrespected.com

Twitter pays people based on engagement (views, retweets, comments, etc). It appears that many MAGA accounts are based abroad and they use AI technology to generate low-effort rage bait.
My guess is that this will get worse as AI tech improves. For instance, fake videos of minorities doing crime.

Noting the congressional pension is based on service time, it kicks in at 5 years and her retirement date - Jan. 5, 2026 - will be the first business day after she passes five years since her first swearing in. bsky.app/profile/heli...
Any idea why she's quitting then? Her statement isn't very coherent (big surprise), although it would make more sense as an explanation of just not running for re-election.
