ANYWAY regardless of gender I think now is a really good time to buff up if you can

Not even for body image but for practical purposes.

"this is a currency" and "this should rapidly grow in value" always seemed like incompatible goals to me, a person who has ever bought anything

Of all the fantastic actual opera singers in Italy, why did we have to have her.

The Washington Post just laid off its entire award-winning photo team. They were our eyes in places we'll never see. It's a horrifying loss at a time when lying governments, propaganda and AI slop are on the rise.

This is that song that Italian guy made up to sound like English but it's just gibberish, isn't it? It was a hit song in the 70s.

Why isn't NBC explaining anything?

I wonder what Rossini would think of this version of his Figaro aria?

Honestly, the fact that it has been litigated before with an unsatisfactory result is exactly why it should be relitigated again and again until it sinks in itโ€˜s not just โ€œTrump being Trump,โ€ heโ€™s not your wacky fun uncle, and it should not be acceptable behavior by an American president.

At least NBC is giving us the Opening Ceremony live (as they did in Paris in 2024) right now. They didnโ€™t for London 2012 and screwed up the delayed-for-prime-time coverage then, too. ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡น

Damn you, NBC and your fucking commercials, Mongolia has the BEST uniforms and you went to ads?? What is wrong with you??

Right? โ€œStarving artistsโ€ would like to have a word.

Starting with me. I have two words. And Iโ€™m not allowed saying them on this app.

Neoprogs are as dumb as MAGAts. They were just born in blue states.

Am I misremembering Korea being one country in Olympic representation? Was it just a one time thing? I swear it was just Korea in Paris. But could have been like this for a decade and I'm just experiencing misfiring memory neurons.

Not sure how I feel about thr athletes being split into four groups. I guess it's better than them missing the #olympicopeningceremony entirely, but it feels...disjointed?

Peter Mandelson issues secret notice demanding press leave him alone โ€“ read in full LATE on Friday evening, this notice was circulated from representatives of Peter Mandelson, via press regulator IPSO and the Press Association newsโ€ฆ

NEW: Mandelson just sent a memo to UK newspapers via the press watchdog demanding they stop publishing his links to Epstein.

He cited clauses in the Editors code, designed to protect grieving families.

The memo was NOT to be published.

The National just said โ€˜fuck thatโ€™ & published it in full ๐Ÿ‘

GOP: "Clintons MUST testify about Epstein."

Clintons: "Fine. Let's do it in public."

GOP: "No. It will be in secret but files and video will be made public."

always bears repeating that this is NOT a financial decision. jeff bezos is worth over 250 billion dollars. he can afford to lose many millions and never even notice it. this is, at its core, a political and personal decision by bezos to destroy the post

My story on Elon Musk cutting safeguards at xAI is on the front page of today's @washingtonpost.com. Iโ€™m also among 100โ€™s of reporters laid off. I absolutely loved my job my brilliant coworkers & the thrill of reporting @ the center of forces upending the world: AI & Silicon Valleyโ€™s political power

The Real Story Behind the Midnight Immigration Raid on a Chicago Apartment Building The Trump administration has claimed the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua had taken over the building. But new documents make no mention of the gang and reveal federal agents had information about โ€œille...

our government used a Blackhawk helicopter in a major American city, detained children and zip-tied U.S. citizens all to target... squatters

and the alleged Tren de Aragua presence? "It was a brutal lie against the American public."
