I am telling you, every single team should pack up and leave. Stop sportswashing fascism.
๐Ÿšจ HUMILIATION AT THE WORLD CUP: SENEGAL STARS TREATED LIKE CRIMINALS BY US BORDER THUGS Senegal ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡ณ national team arrives in the US for #WorldCup2026 โ€” and what do they get? US authorities pulling them off the plane for aggressive bag searches, invasive checks, and public degradation right on the tarmac. Top African football giants disrespected like suspects. This is not "security." This is racist arrogance from the host nation that lectures the world on fairness while treating African players like second-class humans. Same America blocking referees, humiliating teams, and showing its true face to the Global South. Senegal, Africa is with you. CAF and FIFA โ€” speak up or remain useless puppets. The World Cup belongs to the world, not to US ego and discrimination. Expose this disgrace. Share widely.

BuzzFeed tried to run the same playbook again, but shoutout to Simu Liu for recognizing the pattern and not letting it happen to another POC without saying something.

I had asked about this horrific crime by Israel โ€” using drones to broadcast recordings of crying children so they could shoot Palestinians who were lured โ€” when I first saw it reported in Gaza in 2024. The Biden admin spokesperson saw no evil. The Trump spokesperson hasnโ€™t had a briefing in almost a year. Now Israel is reportedly doing it in Lebanon. Video by @decensorednews
According to local reports, an Israeli quadcopter drone was broadcasting the sounds of crying children around the southern Lebanese town of Haboush moments ago

Acting as if there is no future and the world is definitely ending is an extremely good way to avoid feeling accountable for things but unfortunately you guys are still going to be around in your 70's too, and the world will be way worse by then because you preemptively gave up.
Elder Millennial weddings be like "come celebrate the start of their life together". You're both 38, it's not starting, it's already over.

Insane to think that all through the 90s we were told we absolutely had to let the Klan march in American cities to protect free speech and now they're withholding diplomas, firing people, imposing travel bans, qmd running weekslong smear campaigns for saying the word genocide.
A 17-year-old valedictorian, Leen Hijaz, used her graduation speech to speak for the voiceless: "Millions suffering in Palestine, Sudan, Congo, Afghanistan. Families torn apart by ICE." The school administrator cut her mic. Told her: "If you don't stop, you're not graduating." They withheld her diploma for four days.

Today was the day! The guardrail that replaced the one that killed my daughter was hit and there was a different outcome this time.
There was a big crash with the SAFE terminal which replaced the one that was there when my daughter died.

In the last few weeks Jacobin attacked Ibrahim Traore and Chris Smalls. I can tell you guys first hand there is nothing more the western left hates more than when Black men start to reject liberalism and embrace revolutionary politics

The weakening of the AMOC is a reminder that capitalism is not merely an economic system but a total social metabolism. Its drive for endless accumulation undermines the very material conditions upon which society itself depends.
Mysterious โ€˜cold blobโ€™ in the Atlantic suggests the AMOC is weakening A patch of ocean south-east of Greenland is the only place on Earth that is cooling, and it could be a sign that the warm water โ€œconveyor beltโ€ in the Atlantic is slowing down newscientist.com/article/252โ€ฆ docs.google.com/document/d/1โ€ฆ

Yes. And management gets rewarded for flashy short term shit, with no real mechanism for holding them accountable when that shit's a bad call. Really bad combination. Basically means higher ed is a sellers market for snake oil, paid for by students' tuition and employees' low pay
This is how every classroom got a Smartboard thatโ€™s now out of date or doesnโ€™t work anymore hahaha. Understand that corporations see schools (and universities) as their MARKETPLACE. They will do ANYTHING to get their products in there with exclusive contracts.

My good friend Ursula K. Le Guin has some thoughts on this
May 30
In fiction evil is often written to have depth and complexity while good is written to be simple and boring. But in real life evil is boring and predictable while good is complex and unique every single time.

The most disturbing part about this video is if she did have a right hand, the ticket would stand, her insurance rates would go up, if she had a cdl, her company might fire her. We give entirely too much weight to the testimony of cops who refuse to believe they were ever wrong
Kathleen Thomas was issued a citation in February after a Palm Beach County Sheriff's deputy pulled her over for allegedly using a phone with her right hand. But Thomas doesn't have a right hand. This week, the officer requested that the citation be dismissed. Here's bodycam footage of the traffic stop.

I'm a PhD student studying the sociopolitical ideals in early novels by British women, and part of my research has involved revising existing scholarship because many modern scholars have little knowledge of the Bible โ€“ a text that the novelists they study knew well and frequently incorporated into their works. That gap is incorrectly reshaping how literature is interpreted and received today. It's a real problem.
So, I took multiple classes on Moby-Dick as an undergrad & one of the first things you learn is that Ishmael is NOT his name; itโ€™s an allusion to Ishmael from the Book of Genesis (the exiled son of Abraham, of whom it was prophesied, โ€œHis hand shall be against every man, and every manโ€™s hand against himโ€). The narrator imagines himself an outcast, rejected by society & forced to seek his destiny on the high seas. His self-understanding is beautifully transformed during the scene in which he shares a bed with the cannibal harpooner Queequeg, who becomes his bosom friend. As his heart softens, he writes, โ€œI felt a melting in me. No more my splintered heart and maddened hand were turned against the wolfish world.โ€ Love has come to redeem him. He is Ishmael no more.

Students see no issue using AI to complete their assignment because they have been conditioned to treat schooling as a means to a capitalist end and not a tool for acquiring knowledge. The proliferation of AI is just making this very explicit for those who didnโ€™t already know.
The bluntest comment I've ever read about why students are turning to AI: โ€œWhat kind of economy and educational system has made a robot feel more viable, attentive, more dialogic, and more intellectually available than the institution charging students for a degree?โ€
