To be clear, this isn’t even about anything to do with the match. They’re just mad that their match is happening during pride. The nicest thing I can say here is “shut the fuck up and respect our norms or don’t come”

Egypt and Iran object to playing in a Seattle 'Pride' match in next year's World Cup
Local organizers had planned to include the June 26 game with Seattle's Pride celebrations. Then, FIFA announced the match would include Egypt and Iran, two countries where gay rights are nil.

They're using the confinement box, one of the most horrific methods of CIA torture in the post-9/11 black sites, against migrants now. This is the direct result of the lack of consequences for the architects of the torture program. Either there will be criminal penalties for this or it will expand.
Torture Techniques from CIA Black Sites Were Used at Alligator Alcatraz
Amnesty International, interviewing migrant detainees, identifies use of the confinement box. There can be no denying it is a torture prison

Can't express enough how much driving in a city and sitting in commuter traffic ruins the driving experience.

Yes. We are living through a horrible moment in history and none of us are doing nearly enough about it.
Folks not very long from now are going to see these posts in their histories of the 2020s and will shout, "what the fuck was wrong these people?"
They’re killing people as a twitter joke. It’s depraved. Can’t let yourself lose the capacity to be appalled and disgusted and outraged by this.

Tidal could be a real - if niche - player if they hired somebody to fix their iOS app and advertised that they actually pay artists (relative to other services). Instead, it feels like the "is Pepsi okay?" of streaming.
It's really an "anyone but Spotify" situation. Looking back on 2025, we can see everyone whose paid me royalties this year & the rates thereof (Tidal wins, but Amazon, Youtube & Apple aren't bad,) and looking back on my history with Spotify by year, we see exactly when their payout rules changed:

I just don’t see how we can pretend even for a moment that anything involving our federal government is remotely normal when the president is covering up his involvement in a child sex trafficking ring. Like, what are we doing here

It's crazy how the way you have to get to WA ski areas directly contributes to worsening, shortening ski seasons (on top of the rest of the whole climate apocalypse thing).
Lots of places have public transit to ski areas, including Vancouver BC, Portland, and the Amtrak ski train from Denver to Winter Park. Having a mass of people drive up to the pass is bad for the climate and not particularly safe either. Why not have Metro do it? 2/

Enjoying an unhurried and delightful meal at The Table Of Success. My waiters keep bringing me off-menu amuse bouches "from the chef." Ah here comes another crudo. Sublime.

you can tell this is a game 7 because it's the sixth inning and none of the players have left the stadium yet. even the shortstops are sticking around even though you don't really need them. this is playoff baseball
