There are a bunch of old "arcid" links like that scattered around the commentaries that don't work right anymore. Not sure how easy it would be to even figure out what pages they should be linking to.

The coordinated nature of thisβ€”none are facing voters in 2026β€”means that either Schumer approved it or failed in his job as Senate Majority Leader to stop it.

Dems voting "no" get zero credit until they demand a change in leadership. Schumer out as Leader, Durbin out as Whip.

I wonder if Kyler Murray ever thinks about how he could be in the prime of his arbitration years right now, making $5.4 million to play 81 games a year in Sacramento while batting in front of Jacob Wilson and Nick Kurtz

this is the play in which sheldon rankins conjured a scorigami out of absolutely nothing. 30-29 had happened plenty of times and so had 37-29. scorigami only happened because the refs didn't make them stick around for the extra point

Also, our political system naturally devolves into a two-party system, so it's easy for people to make a change if they want to but hard to not make a worse one because they have only one alternative. If we had rangevoting.org people would have a real choice.

More precisely, there are enough people who care about social issues in opposing ways that cancel out that elections end up being decided by people who don't know the first thing about social issues and only care about the economy.

Meanwhile, I suspect most people are like β€œhow’s the economy? Well, that ain’t good. Let’s vote for someone new. They want to release face-eating leopards? Whatever. Just do something about the economy.”

For as much attention that social issues get politically, I’m pretty sure what most people actually care about is the economy.

I’m not saying a lot of people who care more about social things aren’t there. Iβ€˜m saying I think they seem more abundant than they are because they’re the loudest.

It shouldn’t be forgotten that a big piece of Mamdani’s campaign was simply β€œcities are cool and lots of people enjoy living in them” which in and of itself dismantles alot of rightwing talking points

El Goonish Shive - ourf-028 El Goonish Shive is a comic about a group of teenagers who face both real life and bizarre, supernatural situations.

(Arthur indicated Edward was responsible for Cranium leaving - www.egscomics.com/comic/ourf-028 - but I wasn't sure he was right, as opposed to Cranium developing misgivings on her own, or that Edward intended to turn her against them if he was.)

I didn't think Edward distrusted Arthur as much as the commentary implies? He disagrees with his approach and wouldn't risk Tedd's friends being roped into government work against their will, but I didn't think he had any reason to think Arthur wasn't on the up and up.

I like how this works as a Friday cliffhanger even though it wasn't intended to be until the situation that came up this week happened.

Notably, the explanation is *also* in quotes, as though they either don't believe it or don't understand the concept of frequency in relation to transit.

COMMENTARY
49'
Eintracht Frankfurt has been awarded a free kick in the central area of the middle third following a yellow card to SSC Napoli, which could be a pivotal moment to regain momentum early in the second half. Napoli will need to be cautious to avoid further disciplinary issues as they've already received one yellow. So far, both teams have crafted opportunities but remain goalless, keeping the match tightly poised. This set-piece could present Frankfurt with a chance to test Napoli's defensive resilience as the game progresses.
COMMENTARY
48'
Mario Gotze rises to meet the corner from Fares Chaibi with an emphatic header right on target in the fifty-ninth minute of the match. His effort, aiming for the right side of the goal frame, tests the Napoli goalkeeper's reflexes early in this half. Frankfurt continues to press in the final third, showing intent to break the deadlock here at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona. Napoli's defense will need to stay sharp to withstand these early second-half advances.

Eintracht Frankfurt earns a corner here, with Fares Chaibi stepping up to deliver the ball into the box. This set piece presents a significant chance for Frankfurt to test Napoli's defensive organization at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona. Napoli, holding firm on their home turf, will need to remain vigilant to prevent any breakthrough. The deadlock remains intact as both sides seek that crucial first goal.

Google is adding commentary to its soccer game scores with AI. The LLM is literally just reading the stat sheet and trying to narrate the flow of the game as if it has any idea what's happening.

There’s a sort of Dunning-Kruger effect happening where people who read widely, consider various perspectives, and put in effort to understand views they disagree with worry that they don’t do that enough, while people who don’t do any of that accuse others of being in a bubble and call it a day.

My feed IS personalized.

I want to see every post from people I follow. I actually only discovered NEAR THE END of my time at Twitter that the tab for people I follow DIDN'T FUCKING SHOW EVERY POST FROM PEOPLE I FOLLOW.

Why would I want to miss one? I don't want an algorithm. I want who I chose.
