You ever just think about how much it sucks that Musk bought Twitter and absolutely destroyed it? Like man, that used to be where I'd meet new people, make real life friends, etc. Now, whenever I glance over there to check something, it's just unrecognizable.

‘They control everything’: How the Dallas Stars monopolized Texas youth hockey Ice is power in the lucrative world of youth hockey. In North Texas, the Dallas Stars hold almost all of it.

The NHL's Dallas Stars bought up all the ice rinks in the Dallas metro area, in several cases got taxpayer money to build the rinks, and now control ice time for youth hockey, jacking up club fees and forcing leagues to play by their rules. Wild story.

The Mothership Vortex: An Investigation Into the Firm at the Heart of the Democratic Spam Machine How a single consulting firm extracted $282 million from a network of spam PACs while delivering just $11 million to actual campaigns.

The annoying spam texts destroying the Democratic brand:

$678M raised through those spam tactics

$282M to one consulting firm: Mothership Strategies.

$11M to actual campaigns (1.6%)

The party isn’t just treating donors like marks—it’s being fleeced itself yet continues to back Mothership.

What the hell I thought that was just my annoying neighbor

It's the Bristol Speedway in Tennessee. It's pouring rain and isn't letting up

This is so so stupid why are they playing in this

The amazing thing about NYC Summer Streets is not that it's wildly popular (which it is) but that no one who runs this city will admit it, or examine why that it is (or better yet!) expand it everywhere and take all the credit for making people happy

ISRAEL DETAINED AND then deported an American nurse who tried to save the life of Awdah Hathaleen, a Palestinian activist who worked on the Oscar-winning documentary film “No Other Land.” After Israeli settler Yinon Levi allegedly shot and killed Hathaleen on Monday in Umm al-Khair, a village in the occupied West Bank, the critical care nurse gave Hathaleen four rounds of CPR. She cradled his head in her hands, checking his pulse and whispering “You’re OK,” as he bled out, the nurse told The Intercept. The medical worker asked not to be named because they fear for their safety. Hathaleen was then taken away in an ambulance, where he died before reaching the hospital.

Israel just detained and then deported an American nurse for trying to save a Palestinian life.

I'm not technically an economist but as a financial markets professional I'm going to keep trusting them until there's evidence not to. That said, the odds that we will find evidence not to just went up significantly.

Seeing this back-to-back with the CPB news is .... doing some things

People are bringing their own food to Bay Area restaurants. Is ‘purse tuna’ ever OK? Bay Area chefs say they see people sneaking bites of homemade salads, spring rolls and even entire pizzas while dining at their restaurants.

People have simply forgotten how to exist in a society. This is how empires crumble (via @hels.bsky.social )

On Promising Young Women (and the Nameless Men Who Get in Their Way) “The woman is a footnote in the man’s history.” –Rebecca Hazelton * There’s this photo of Lana Clarkson that I think about often. She’s outside, backed by a blue sky, the green and brown spotted hi…

The move between registers, the way the academic and incisive meets the personal honesty. The courage of it, sure. But more the messiness, the refusal of narrative as the only way to own narrative. . . credit to the good doctor @megpillow.bsky.social . A great piece of writing about a terrible thing

My doctor just told me I've been acquired at the deadline 😕
