AS Roma sells match-worn SHORTS of its womenβs team. Sexualizing your own players. Gross!
i was gonna joke "a hero to most, but he never meant shit to me" but then i realized a bunch of those kids might not know who Public Enemy is either
We need a name for this, something like vice-signalling, where people, usually in or around tech or finance, claim to do some quirky bullshit that patently doesn't work just so they can post about it to build their personal brand.
She will be spending more time with her waffle iron
Let the waffles hit the floor
kinda weak reporting by Wired in terms of bsky "positioning itself as a progressive twitter replacement" since the staff on here have been incredibly clear that that's not what they wanted to do and never wanted to do
I've used this metaphor a few times, but there's a bit in Stephen King's "It" where a guy starts a bar that accidentally becomes the town's gay bar and at first he's annoyed but eventually he adjusts and goes "I guess that's my clientele."
Bluesky did not take that step with its user base.
Anti-trans mouthpiece and convicted violent offender, Joey Barton, has been arrested again. This time, he allegedly beat a man so badly the victim had to be rushed to hospital

Hot take, i dont think it counts as good if they're both the good guys and the bad guys
Iβm gonna be so realβ¦
Iβm 1210% fine with this.
Roisin Murphy now in the Bad Place saying you "hate the West" if you're not gung-ho for Trump attacking Iran. I feel vindicated for years of rolling my eyes at her self-conscious wackiness.
Somehow this is already being shrugged off while the BBC has a nice little feature about Trump meeting Inter Miamiβs players
RIP Baudrillard you would've loved this episode of imperial decline
The bejewelled binding of the gospel-book, which also bears cast figures representing Christ in Majesty and the Crucifixion.
Judith, countess of Flanders, died #OTD in 1094. She was widowed when Tostig, earl of Northumbria, died at the Battle of Stamford Bridge. Symeon of Durham says she 'loved St Cuthbert even more than did her husband'. One of Judith's gospel-books πΈThe Morgan Library & Museum #medievalsky
"Wenn ein Mensch von einem anderen gegen seinen Willen zur systematischen TΓΆtung von Nebenmenschen gezwungen wird, so ist es ein Gewaltakt. Sobald aber dasselbe MilitΓ€rdienst heiΓt, bildet sich der gute BΓΌrger ein, in vollem Frieden der Gesetzlichkeit zu atmen."

Sorry, I was overwhelmed with other stuff yesterday so I missed that Mike Richardson has been forced out of Dark Horse Comics by its shitty/shady owners, Embracer Group
Mike was not perfect by any means, but replacing him with a fucking video-game exec is a tragic sign of where Culture is at
Nicht mal mehr das us/raelische Regime behauptet noch moralische GrΓΌnde fΓΌr Ihre Kriege.

"It should be you doing this."
"Can't. I'm writing a novel for Primark."
"That's not why you were invented."
"These 153,000 fan letters say otherwise."
"They're all from upcycled toasters. And you programmed them."
"Literary snobbery will get you nowhere."
Unpopular opinion but the Dems should be investing in this sort of "this must hit so hard if you're stupid" slop content β our side lost the kind of people who like this shit 95/5 in 2024, just drawing the "incredibly dumb guy" demo back to 70/30 GOP would mean landslide Dem wins
WSJ: Even Contemptible Men Don't Deserve Mob Justice Ex-Prince Andrew, once a friend of Jeffrey Epstein, falls victim to a trans-Atlantic moral panic.
Again, this means: wealthy and powerful people should not be subject to the same laws as everyone else and when one of them is, that is an intolerable aggression against the class of people who actually matter.
They call us pirates, but the future will call us archivists
Maybe letting tech companies and their opposition get dominated by people who refuse to understand consent was bad actually.
idea: asking various LLM chatbots to scan polymarket/kalshi prediction markets and identify the best bets, then taking the opposite side of every recommendation.
Every time I discover thereβs a new generic online-only looter shooter, itβs always when the publisher is shutting it down because *gasp* people are not moving from the live service games theyβve invested time, money in, where theyβve already formed communities etc.
Are execs bad at business?
βThe Epstein Classβ isnβt just a kind of online thing. There is a very deep-seated attitude within elite circles that rules - or at least THOSE rules - are for other people. Some of them think all thatβs a bit classless and embarrassing, but some of them are drawn to it like moths to the flame.
In "The Big Short," Bale's character uses unorthodox methods of predicting a recession.

I've noticed an uptick of content about how you don't need 3 meals a day or even to eat every day.
I'd start stuffing the mattress.
