A month ago, Sir Jim Ratcliffe lectured the Prime Minister, telling him he should run Britain in the same way he runs Manchester United

liberty mutual was the only advertiser who stuck with tucker carlson after he said mexicans were "filth" so whatever fantasies you have about torturing the mascot are morally correct

Would love to see the numbers behind these proposed synergies. Absolutely lightweight thinking behind this, which lines up with whatever this is.

I'm not sure how much more blatant it can get that these guys are looting the federal government and then pointing over there and saying "look what THOSE BLACK PEOPLE ARE GETTING AWAY WITH!!!" bsky.app/profile/atru...

Stephen Miller claims Somali-Americans in Minnesota are "buying Mercedes, buying BMWs, they buy a nice house, all their kids fly first class all over the world" (This is a lie!)

I would simply change my vote silently and not broadcast what a self-absorbed asshole I am, but I'm also not a Republican.

"After weighing these factors, Paulk has decided for the first time in his life to cast a ballot for a Democrat -- Ossoff. He doesn't agree with him on all issues -- notably, abortion -- but it's Ossoff's help in getting federal aid after Helene wreaked havoc on Paulk's grape crop that won his vote"

Yes. The conservative scheme for education is a three-way split: high-priced academies for the children of the wealthy, religious instruction to brainwash the middle class, and a rump of prison-like public schools to discipline the lower class into obedience.

jamelle@jamellebouie.net

the other thing is that conservatives resolutely do not see the purpose of education as providing social mobility but as reifying and deepening existing inequalities of status. they are as hostile to low income students getting admission to elite institutions as they are black ones.

We had Jim Irsay, who arguably did or could have done all these things.

i wonder what it's like to be a fan of another city's teams and you never have to worry about burner phones or blood clots or guys who want to be fishermen or guys who want to be firemen or guys who led a dogfighting ring and felt bad about it and guys who get their blood replaced by chiropractors

1) vance has this weird preoccupation with demanding that people show him gratitude 2) this is just another expression of the idea that some americans don’t count and at most should be seen and not heard

No joke. I think this is the most important video I have ever seen about mobile games. This guy breaks down how this game psychologically profiles you, and makes the game harder or easier in order to show you ads

Billions of dollars’ worth of contracts predicting oil would fall and the S&P 500 would rise were placed about 15 minutes before Trump announced a U-turn on Iran in a post on Truth Social. CFTC staff began to investigate...then were told to lay off. www.bloomberg.com/news/feature...

This sounds like what the English national team complains about any time they host a World Cup somewhere that has an actual summer.

I find it curious and fascinating that nobody knows the cause of the dreaded disease “English sweating sickness” that killed a lot of people in England ancestrally, and then disappeared

I love that soccer is more mainstream part of the culture in America. I think American Formula 1 fans are the new American Soccer fans (both derogatory and laudatory).
