Why doesn't FIFA just admit that they are venal and just get on with it? The BS excuses I've heard from them are so transparent that what they really convey is contempt for their fans. www.theguardian.com/football/202...

Just my 2 cents, but CNN should think carefully about what they want to post as free content and what to keep behind a paywall.

For all it mattered, he could have stopped RFK and Hegseth and ended up with the same result but a better government

This is so frustrating. So much time wasted. Copilot is the new Clippy. #Microsoft #Copilot

Businesses now value your data more than they value YOU as a customer. LLMs are challenging traditional sources of competitive advantage, and so businesses look for what others can't easily replicate with AI. www.npr.org/2026/02/26/n...

Well, Tucker, you did the Devil's work, and I'm sure it seemed like a good idea at the time. Whether as a metaphor or as a real creature, isn't the Devil someone who offers miracles to good people in exchange for their loyalty, so he can turn them into bad people? www.politico.com/news/2026/04...

In IS, we teach about signal and noise. Signal is the info intentionally sent over a medium. This is signal, not noise. To the faithful, the POTUS here says that your friends and relatives in the Democratic party are enemies of the state. To the MAGAs who tune in to the signal, that is the signal.

100% self-explanatory.

Even on the BBC, all the #Iran talk is about a "deal." What happened to all the concern about the freedom of the Iranian people!? My selfish take is that I'd like for my country's voters and leaders to recognize the value of friendship with a free Iran, and act on THAT. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Maybe it's just me, but I don't think these people are helping restore the credibility of the scientific community. www.cnn.com/2026/01/27/s...

If the UK doesn't ignore voters and let China build the Tower of Sauron in that specific place, then that means that Britain will "sever diplomatic relations with China"!?!? Um, okay... I'm no expert on diplomacy or cyber security, but I'm calling BS on this one. www.cnn.com/2026/01/17/e...

I listen to a lot of 1980's music. I also listen to a lot of baroque classical music, especially while I write. Spotify took it's best shot at making an "80s Mix" for me. Behold!

I've been thinking a lot lately about how generative AI will affect the creative world. Here's my editorial on this. Thoughts? www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

And now, allow me to present THE WORLD'S MOST APPROPRIATE CITATION!!!

I'm not a lawyer, but doesn't this break some kind of important law, if this turns out to be true? Dude was allegedly charged with interfering with an investigation after "police threatened him with charges if he did not delete the video footage from his phone." www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...?

I love this because of the low-tech component. www.cnn.com/2025/07/02/s...

Every machine in a Hospital that diagnoses your body without cutting you open is based on a principle of Physics, discovered by a Physicist who had no interest in Medicine. If you think the world doesn’t need Basic Science, or that somehow Science has failed you, think again.

Oh yeah nice one kid hook that hope for humanity right into my veins

He’s the captain of the ship.. 😂

The way they both looking.. 😅

Vacation photos before the age of cell phones... I took this with a 35mm Canon AE-1 in Tibet in the '90s. I wonder what my Samsung Galaxy would have done with this. Would it have been a better picture, and would it bring back memories like this one does, with its imperfections?

So far, this post is aging well.

Sen. Thom Tillis (R-NC) on tariff strategy: "Whose throat do I get to choke if this proves to be wrong?" U.S. Trade Rep. Jamieson Greer: "Well, Senator, you can certainly always talk to me...I'm at the tip of the spear...I would push back just a little bit on this."

Some might argue that we've always been in a trade war with a few countries, so some tariffs might be overdue. HOWEVER... declaring a trade war against literally EVERYONE is never a good idea. What we are seeing is not a panic. It's prices adjusting for the realization that the US is unpredictable.

This is what we are up against in the US. For decades, we nurtured a broken system that catered to the extremes more with each election. It's going to take a generation to heal our divisions, thanks to Trump and his cult.

My new goal for the summer is to get Microsoft out of my professional life. Office used to help me and now it holds me back. CoPilot is in my way, it was forced into my apps, and the instructions for just getting rid of it are labyrinthine. answers.microsoft.com/en-us/msoffi...

Forgot I can paint whatever I want so I painted Yoda doing a sick jump over burning anakin

When an individual finds something they enjoy, they will seek similar activities to find a similar joy. So, if you discover that you enjoy getting drunk and destroying your country, you might try getting drunk and destroying other things. Cars, for example... www.nbcnews.com/politics/rcn...

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell. This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

People are re-framing the reality of Trump so that they can live with themselves as Trump supporters. They change reality so that it fits with who the want to believe they are. Cruelty becomes courage. Rudeness becomes pluck. psychologyfanatic.com/idealization...

I'm still proud to be an American, but this was embarrassing. You don't have someone come over for a visit and then shout them into oblivion. We need a third party, because the Republicans voted in these low-class imbeciles and the Democrats are rudderless. There is no accountability.

The highest level of our federal government buddies up with people who dress and act like low-rent bad guys in an episode of Miami Vice. People voted for this. apnews.com/article/roma...

"...a bleak and baneful truth: the traditions that define a people, that they cling to, that they love, can also, if cunningly exploited by a conqueror, serve to enslave them." from historian Tom Holland on how Persia co-opted the religion of its vassal states. www.reuters.com/world/us/god...

Not going to repeat the tired phrase about #tariffs and who wins in a trade war, BUT... I do have the "I told you so" cannon locked and loaded for immediate use once all this plays out. www.reuters.com/world/us/tru...

Even more alarming is the precipitous drop in baby names like "Kale" and "Textured Vegetable Protein." www.huffpost.com/entry/weapon...

Gotta say that our new doorbell camera is not very flattering

Pols who sold their souls to MAGA will learn that all the power from Trump was only borrowed, not given. Gaetz's threats have proved toothless. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

Employee of the month.. 👊

Took this photo at a German Christmas market a few years ago.

Now that we have better analytics tools, I'm seeing a lot of speculation disguised as abductive reasoning in social science. The authors don't have rich data for inductive reasoning and they don't collect qualitative or survey-based data. Bad guidance ensues. www.merriam-webster.com/grammar/dedu...
