I watch a lot of soccer and MLS productions are the only ones I notice. The choices the MLS directors make are often baffling and the PBP & analyst just barf stats and fluff teams/players the whole game. It's so deeply embarrassing.

Last night they filled the entire frame with the *back* of a guy taking a throw-in. Zoomed all the way in, no context for his options, etc. The best is when they show three angles of a goal and none of the camera operators fully captured the shot. Wonderful.

THE PREMISE IS IN THE FUCKING TITLE

There are currently no active conversations for a full ‘MUPPET SHOW’ series revival. Disney, The Muppets Studio and Point Grey Pictures have had difficulties with deciding on a premise for the series that they can all agree on. (Source: Deadline)

Unsettling to live through an era where Truly Bad, as in real Nazi stuff, is treated as not actually bad, mostly a curiosity, just another policy, look what you made them do, while what gets the up-in-arms treatment is minor scandal, titillation, someone said something about what someone else said.

TL;DR: The Seattle Times editorial board is showing its entire ass. They are desperate to have Katie Wilson fail, and they're willing to make up bizarre conspiracy theories to facilitate that outcome.

"And it's out for a Sounders goal kick. Taylor, 5-1 loss, struggling historic injured can't score. Rivalry 5-1?" Twellman: "Brian Schmetzer 1980s 5-1 . Man manager streak rivalry. Veteran injuries. Find a way, losing streak. At home 5-1."

Among the worst ideas floating around is that "the free market" will naturally achieve desirable results for society. No, it won't, not even in theory, much less in practice. Markets don't optimize "good for society" unless you make them.

Turns out that food companies were only checking their food because the government told them to, which is exactly why we need government regulations.

The fuck is this bullshit. Ring added a Pro subscription trial to my account and enabled an AI-driven feature without my knowledge or consent. I only noticed because someone rang my doorbell and the notification was... weird and unhelpful (go figure!).

The Trolley Problem is a prevalent thought experiment because it features a real moral dilemma: Does action bear more responsibility for harmful outcomes than inaction? If the trolley’s heading to save lives and you flip the switch to make many die instead, there’s no problem. Obviously very wrong.

Mainstream media is 24/7 saturation of poor people committing petty crimes. Shoplifting out of control! Venezuelan thugs are stealing your apartment! Meanwhile billionaires are genocidal serial killers and treated like the pillars of our society

Insane self-blinding of the US. They are throwing away their investment in the ocean observation system and the benefits it provides. The only explanation I can think of: they don’t want the people to know what their fossil emissions are doing to our oceans. easternherald.com/2026/06/13/u...

It’s past midnight and Republicans are fighting to pass $70 billion for ICE—but they can't find a single cent to make health care more affordable.   All while Trump's war and tariffs send prices surging.   That's the Republican agenda: Drive costs higher. Do nothing for families.

this is such a good example of someone asserting that incivility lives in actions that hurt people, not in questioning those actions

Oliver Darcy got the audio of the heated 60 Minutes meeting where Scott Pelley dressed Nick Bilton down! "You know what was rude? Black Thursday. That was the absolute definition of rudeness. Telling Tanya Simon she had to be out of here at five o'clock." www.status.news/p/scott-pell...

This answer alone should destroy this administration. This conversation is essentially: “people are hurting.” “ceos are fine.”

BREAM: The Journal says percentage of delinquent credit card balances is 13%, the highest in 15 years. People are using them for necessities. Your message to them? HASSETT: We talk to CEOs of the credit card companies all the time, and there's not any threat to them. People are taking a bit longer.

This is like trying to drill for oil through the ruins of Pompeii. Chaco canyon is one of the most significant native archeological sites in the United States. Absolutely disgusting to even propose it
