“Do you think that Trump would be turning Washington into Pyongyang if he believed there was a chance that, during his lifetime, a future Democratic administration would swoop in and undo it all? Humiliating him? I do not.”

The White House says the Kennedy Center board vote was “unanimous”…

BULLSHIT.

@repbeatty.bsky.social, a Congressional member of the board, was on the call. They muted her and didn't let her voice opposition.

This is beyond absurd, totally illegal, and a disgrace to the memory and legacy of JFK.

Post-Wolves quotes round-up: Arteta, Edwards, Saka, Arokodare, Ramsey, Keown
Arsenal did their best to throw away three points against bottom-side Wolves, but Yerson Mosquera had other ideas, heading home an own goal deep into stoppage time just moments after the visitors had equalised. The Gunners had already relied on an own goal to take the lead – Sam Johnstone inadvertently diverting home Bukayo Saka’s […] The post Post-Wolves quotes round-up: Arteta, Edwards, Saka, Arokodare, Ramsey, Keown appeared first on Arseblog News - the Arsenal news site.

This really is a must read for anyone in academia.
When my business school colleagues insist that ChatGPT is “just another tool in the toolbox,” I’m tempted to remind them that Facebook was once “just a way to connect with friends.” But there’s a difference between tools and technologies. Tools help us accomplish tasks; technologies reshape the very environments in which we think, work, and relate. As philosopher Peter Hershock observes, we don’t merely use technologies; we participate in them. With tools, we retain agency—we can choose when and how to use them. With technologies, the choice is subtler: they remake the conditions of choice itself. A pen extends communication without redefining it; social media transformed what we mean by privacy, friendship, even truth.

Infantino said this isn’t “a normal draw”

That was at least thing said on stage that was true

There were moments that approached propaganda, especially in the highly politicised interpretations to justify Trump’s Peace Prize - a debasing of football

"Those who would twist this moment to attack Afghan families aren’t seeking safety or justice — they’re exploiting division and endangering all of us."

Statement from the @afghanevac.bsky.social veterans on the DC shooting.
Statement from AfghanEvac President Shawn VanDiver – November 26, 2025 On the shooting of two West Virginia National Guardsmen in DC We are deeply saddened by the tragic attack in Washington, DC, and our hearts go out to the West Virginia National Guardsmen and their families. No one should ever have to endure this kind of harm. We reject and condemn anyone who uses, or seeks to use, violence, and we stand with every American who is horrified and saddened by this crime. There is no excuse — no context, no grievance, no ideology — that justifies the actions of the shooter. AfghanEvac expects and fully supports the perpetrator facing full accountability and prosecution under the law. None of us want to be defined by the actions of another person, so we encourage the media, elected leaders, decision-makers, and other people of influence not to demonize the Afghan community for the deranged choice this person made. Afghan immigrants and wartime allies who resettle in the United States undergo some of the most extensive security vetting of any population entering the country. As with any serious crime, authorities will examine how this happened and whether any systems failed — and we support a fact-based review. But nothing we learn will change the simple truth that this individual alone is responsible for his actions. This individual’s isolated and violent act should not be used as an excuse to define or diminish an entire community. AfghanEvac rejects any attempt to leverage this tragedy as a political ploy to isolate or harm Afghans who have resettled in the United States. Those who would twist this moment to attack Afghan families aren’t seeking safety or justice — they’re exploiting division and endangering all of us. Our adversaries benefit when Americans turn on our neighbors, and so we must work together – neighbors, faith groups, civic leaders, and all who believe in justice – to extinguish rhetoric that seeks to sow fear and hate. Our organization stands

beijingpalmer.bsky.social BeijingPalmer @beijingpalmer.bsky.social · Nov 8
ironically what makes star wars stuff best is when it is 'something else, but also star wars'

e.g. Andor, a British political thriller but also Star Wars
the Mandalorian, an episode-of-the-week Western but also Star Wars (when it was good)
