The Twins just let a batter reach first on a strikeout. With two outs. He scored. I think that must be the most embarrassing and shameful thing a team can do. What could possibly be worse than that?

Oh, look, a new MIT study shows that LLM use rots your brain. Quelle surprise. Your Brain on ChatGPT: "the LLM group's participants performed worse than their counterparts in the Brain-only group at all levels: neural, linguistic, scoring." arxiv.org/pdf/2506.08872

The Alt National Park Service account calls itself the official "resistance" team of the US National Park Service. With 887k followers, is one of the biggest accounts on Bluesky. It is the 11 most followed account according to some trackers. This thread will dive into its activity. 🧵 1/x.

Just updated my diagram of Trump’s crypto entanglements based on his most recent financial disclosures 😵‍💫

#HappyFathersDay

The day started with tragedy with political violence in MN and instead of being scared, neighbors SHOWED UP to stand together at No Kings Twin Cities. We packed the Capitol Mall all the way to the Cathedral. Estimate 80,000+ right now. So proud of our state. #nokings #indivisible

Probably my favorite tifo ever and hearing Allianz roar as it went up got me choked up.

More than five million Americans in over 2,100 towns and cities joined us today to say we don't do kings in this country. Thank you for making it clear that we won't be ruled by fear.

I did not edit this, this is the actual parade with the actual music being played. CINEMATIC

no… no, they can’t possibly be… oh my god, they wouldn’t… they can’t be… YES, THEY ARE PLAYING FORTUNATE SON

Just remember: If you’re feeling catatonic, you’re not catatonic yet.

This is Stephen Miller's lifelong dream and they caved on it after a week of pushback from normal people, never believe you are powerless www.nytimes.com/2025/06/13/u...

The premise of this controversy is that if not for Jason Chavez and the Star Tribune spreading truth, those masked ICE agents would've been greeted warmly as they rolled down Lake Street in their armored personnel carriers. www.kare11.com/article/news...

The body language of a man about to say the dumbest shit you've ever heard.

When do you think we spun off the original timeline?

Uh, whose fault is this?

Well well well if that isn’t @defector.com on The Tonight Show!

Holy shit this video is actually happening Watch till the end it gets uncanny

Me at my desk: I should listen to Heatmiser. I never really listened to them. Me 5 songs later: Wow, either Elliott Smith influenced them, or they influenced him. Their sound is remarkably similar. Me after glancing at the band bio: Let’s not tell anyone about this.

Classic MLB pickle in the middle, 1-3-4-1-6-2 caught stealing

It is 100% carrying water for the opposition to participate in this collective delusion that Dems for some reason need to answer for every teen who throws a rock rather than hold the Trump admin accountable for intentionally creating chaos and breaking the law to stoke violence. They are in charge.

are you fucking kidding me

This is what I hope to eventually see on Bluesky. Just waves and waves of fans for a fan base losing their collective minds in real time over a coach/manager decision. The Blue Jays did end up winning, 10-9.

Protesters Urged Not To Give Trump Administration Pretext For What It Already Doing

A reason im not moved by the “don’t give the trump administration the pretext they’re looking for” is that we would not dare say that about any anti-authoritarian protest movement in literally any other country

You know what makes this French Open even more entertaining? Not understanding how scoring in tennis works! Every shot leads to something, but you’re not sure what!

I saw Final Destination Bloodlines last night. It is very, very good. The most shocking part isn’t the excellent Rube Goldberg-style death setups, though. It is the surprisingly wonderful acting by an unknown cast. It’s a major departure from the acting in all the other films. What a delight!

In preparation for next week’s parade/demonstration, tanks are being moved into Washington, DC today. Unprecedented. (Photo from a colleague in DC)
