RIP Freud. You would’ve loved how people identify as Boy Moms and Girl Dads but rarely as Girl Moms or Boy Dads

Me: So I always thought Cookie Monster was an adult so it was weird for him to hang out with Elmo but he's actually a child! You meet his mom in one episode and she's like a bigger cookie monster but with hair and-- My husband: I'm sorry, we cannot talk about this on date night

Elizabeth Warren’s proposed 3% tax on people with over $100M in wealth would generate $30B in revenue each year on Elon Musk’s fortune alone. That’s about how much the US spends each year on affordable housing subsidies. Tax. The. Rich.

Oh. So. It's not just algae that's a problem. The Reflecting Pool is now leaking worse than it ever has (which was the reason Trump used to justify this entire project....the leaks) AND it appears the state of the art filter Obama had installed was not re-installed, hence, the algae in just 2 days instead of weeks/months with the filter. Because Obama is black.

The Trump administration is quietly moving to change the Affordable Care Act to let health insurers offer people loans to pay for their care. Deep in a document over 1,000 pages long about how the Affordable Care Act market will operate next year, the administration suggests that insurers consider offering loans to cash-strapped customers. Under this approach, people who develop a costly disease or need unexpected emergency care would turn to their health insurer for loans. A third of American households already have medical debt, and this approach would mean even more debt that patients owe to their health insurance companies. The insurers, who already make billions, would stand to make even more. nytimes.com/2026/06/11/busin…

Never before, in the history of football World Cups, has the host nation prevented a FIFA-appointed World Cup referee from participating by denying entry at the border. You are making history, USA, and it is absolutely disgusting.

CNN's resident fact-checker Daniel Dale hasn't conducted an on-air fact check of Trump in more than three months, a stretch that coincidentally began around the same time Paramount announced its merger with WBD status.news/p/daniel-dale-cn…

🚨 𝗕𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗞𝗜𝗡𝗚: Somali referee Omar Artan was questioned for 11 hours (!) before being denied entry. “I am just a referee trying to live my biggest dream: going to the World Cup, I am really, really disappointed. I had the correct documents and the correct visa. I think they have a problem with my country.” — @nytimes

What has happened at the #2026WorldCup over the last 48 hours: • Swiss footballer Embolo's visa was put under review and he was only able to join his team days later. • Iraqi national team player Aymen Hussein was held for questioning for nearly 7 hours upon entering the United States. • The Iranian national team spent days dealing with visa procedures at the U.S. Consulate in Türkiye. The U.S. only allowed them entry on match days. Fifteen members of the delegation were denied visas. • Omar Abdulkadir Artan, named CAF's Best African Referee of 2025, was denied a visa. Despite travelling to the U.S. with a diplomatic passport, he was refused entry and sent back. FIFA announced that he will not be able to officiate at the tournament. • The South African national team arrived in the United States much later than planned because part of the delegation was not granted visas. • Members of the Senegal national team staff were forced to remove their shoes and subjected to lengthy searches, sparking accusations of racism. • The Uzbekistan national team was searched with bomb-sniffing dogs and the footage went viral in international media. • Some Scottish supporters, despite being eligible to enter the U.S. visa-free under the ESTA programme, had their travel authorisations revoked just days before departure. • Many supporters who had already bought tickets and booked accommodation had their visa applications rejected, resulting in financial losses.

Every summer, well-meaning people hang out balls of dryer lint, yarn, and pet fur for the birds. Most of it does more harm than good. Dryer lint feels perfect, but it isn't. It crumbles the first time it rains and leaves holes in the nest, and it carries detergent residue and microplastics. Yarn, string, and long hair can be worse: they wrap around a nestling's leg or wing as it grows and slowly cut off circulation, and wildlife rehabbers see the results every year. Pet fur seems like the safe, natural choice, and it's the one I'd skip hardest. A 2025 UK study found that 100% of the animal fur lining the nests of two common songbirds contained insecticides from flea and tick treatments, and the higher the dose, the worse the chicks did. The soft lining was poisoning the brood. Here's the good news: The best nesting material is a slightly messy yard, and it's free. Leave the twigs, dead leaves, and dried grass where they fall. Let plants stand so the seed fluff and stems are there for the taking. Leave a small patch of bare mud for the robins. Birds were building nests for millions of years before the craft-supply aisle existed. Give them a wild corner and get out of the way.

Morocco, in 1777, was the first county in the world to recognize the United States as a sovereign nation.

BREAKING: Ohio secretly gave 100% sales tax breaks, lasting up to 40 years, to tech giants for data centers, per Cleveland.com. The exemptions—signed by Gov. Kasich—give Google, Meta and Amazon at least $600 million each. Legislators say the contracts can't be undone.
