If Xi Jinping gets the Cup before the Sabres do, I’m throwing out all my jerseys.
Trump, in the middle of his latest unhinged Truth Social screed, claims that if Canada makes a trade deal with China, "the first thing China will do is terminate ALL Ice Hockey being played in Canada, and permanently eliminate The Stanley Cup."

Super Bowl viewers Sunday speculated that 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos appeared in the halftime show. In fact, he has been in hiding with his family.
“He can’t sleep well at night. He wakes up three or four times a night screaming, ‘Daddy, Daddy,’” Liam's father Adrian Conejo Arias, said.

RFK Jr. and Mike Tyson want you to believe that MAHA is just about eating healthier.
But in reality, MAHA has been focused on firing the food and medical research experts who actually make America healthy.

Bad Bunny’s performance began in the plantation, featured broken electric poles, and ended by centering a hemispheric understanding of “América”—among many other things—and some Anglo journalists are like “his performance wasn’t political.”

Me: What are these rings in the grass?
Mycologist: Fungus for sure
Veterinarian: Could be from dog pee tho
RFK Jr: Portals between our world and the fairy realm. A sign of high-vibration energy requiring respect, often used for connecting with nature and increasing intuition.

Puerto Rico hasn't had reliable power in a decade.

Electricity rates are among the highest in the entire U.S.
Heat waves are getting intense in the summer, and outages mean A/C is no guarantee for an aging population.

In honor of the recently held National Prayer Breakfast, tonight's Low Quality Ad is for this Gay the Pray Away shirt. Anyone who has actually read the Bible would know it explicitly states the key to getting into heaven is to be as gay as humanly possible.

Yep, as a child psychologist, this is exactly what you’d expect if you put a small child in prison. This is entirely predictable. A feature, not a bug.
This is Maria, a 6-year-old detained by ICE last year.
She began to unravel soon after arriving at a detention center in Texas, wetting the bed after years without accidents, crying through the night and begging to breastfeed again.
Most of all, she wanted to be reunited with her cat, Milo. 1/

pre-tenure I wrote articles for national newspapers about mental illness, addiction, & gender-based discrimination in academia. I used my power as a TT faculty at a well-known institution to address systemic injustice. I didn’t wait till tenure to use my voice—& I’m proud of this.

It’s amazing how Trump has made center-right guys like Stubb and Mark Carney look like prophets of progressivism.
Omg I’m having such presidential envy listening to this interview with Alexander Stubb (Finland).

“My own morality,” much like “my own mathematics,” implies you’re not only probably wrong in the instance, but have a pretty tenuous grasp of the whole concept.

This is an important point.
Empathy—in and of itself—is anti-fascist.
The arts—and the project of higher education as a whole—teach empathy, enabling you to put yourself in other people’s shoes.
So to a fascist, they must be destroyed.

This made me quite emotional. An incredible performance, and a timely choice.
Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.
