Is it ‘soccer’ or ‘football?’ President Trump wants to rename the NFL
The President said "it really doesn't make sense" to call American football by that name.

This is a place where rural conservatives and the anti-billionaire, corporate-skeptic left can find tons of common ground. This needs to be built upon.
Starke County, Indiana voted 75% for Trump in 2024.

But now they're opposing Trump's AI agenda, and the Planning Commission voted unanimously to recommend a 12 month pause on new hyperscale data centers.

Banning AI data centers is becoming increasingly popular.

Trump is backing AI. This Trump-voting town wants to ban AI data centers anyways.

I thought we had seen the last one of these damn things. Alas, no. The day is coming though...
Trump: "I've announced a permanent pause on third-world migration…I didn't say 'shit hole,' you did…We had a meeting and I said, 'Why is it we only take people from shit hole countries. Why can't we have some people from Norway, Sweden, just a few.…But we always take people from Somalia."

Rep. Thomas Massie has introduced legislation calling for the United States to withdraw from NATO.

I guess there is one thing that Trump and I agree on, that this guy is a moron.

we all got cowed into avoiding "virtue signaling" as if the public affirmation of socially agreed upon ethical principles was somehow cringey instead of a significant part of what a "society" even is. now all there's left is vice signaling, and it's reshaping society.

1. CNN and CNBC recently announced partnerships with Kalshi, a prediction market that lets you place bets on the news.

Now, every story is a casino game.

Although Kalshi's popularity has exploded, it remains relatively small and vulnerable to political manipulation.
The casino-fication of news
New partnerships between the prediction market Kalshi and cable TV networks will transform every news event into a betting opportunity.

Russia wants the EU to collapse because it’s a military rival.

It needs a pretext for getting rid of the EU that isn’t territorial expansion, though.

So it advances the idea that the EU isn’t democratic (as if Russia was).

The richest man in the world falls for it hook, line, and sinker.

RIP Martin Parr. I worked with him once on a story about the NHS. I interviewed and he photographed Britain's busiest and least busy GP. I think he was brilliant and this is one of my favorites of his.
