In what may be the most unhinged, insane thing he's said since launching his senseless war, President Donald Trump took to his Truth Social platform last night to express his frustration with not only "ABC Fake News'" reporting on his efforts to strike a deal with Iran, but...

Bright House, 1914 #orphism #augustmacke

Released a new Mac update, version 4.0.8. Really happy with the changes in this one. Lots of little improvements.

“President Donald Trump on Wednesday floated renaming the Strait of Hormuz — the central point of contention in the ongoing war against Iran that the U.S. and Israel started — after himself,” CNBC reports. Said Trump: “Now that we have it under USA control, should we change the name Hormuz Strait to TRUMP STRAIT??? Like […]

The Economist: “A weary world may not want to hear it, but the war in Ukraine is intensifying, not ending. As it deepens, the conflict is also expanding. Increasingly, serious-minded governments across northern Europe are planning to defend themselves against Russia for decades to come.”

I posted a thread on Bluesky about an annoying person at Worldcon (originating thread starts here), and I’m posting it here as well for archival purposes. It’s useful information! Pay attention to it! 1. So, at the Worldcon this year there was a person who was going from panel to panel, bothering panelists by trying […]

NEW YORK — As we waited for Alexandra Eala to walk into Louis Armstrong Stadium for the most anticipated first-round match of the tournament, the crowd whooping as a victorious 40-year-old Gael Monfils shed his shirt, I had a quick chat with Dyan Castillejo, the first Filipi...

This week on Nothing But Respect, we mostly talked about dumb stuff with a smart guy. The guy in question was Jake Bittle, staff writer for Grist and the author of The Great Displacement: Climate Change And The Next American Migration, while the dumb stuff was Jake's amazing spree of Twitter fights back when that was something worth doing, and also Drake. Jake is a Raptors fan, and Harry knows a ridiculous amount of ball on all things rap, so it was a long time coming. We also talked about the new politics of climate vis-a-vis Silicon Valley's right-wing turn. Primo offseason stuff, and not all dumb!

This Ketel Marte thing keeps getting stranger, at least linguistically. Marte made his return to the Arizona Diamondbacks on Monday, during their game against the Philadelphia Phillies. Before the game, Marte, who speaks through an interpreter, answered questions about his a...

This turned out to be quite an eventful summer for Monaco and USMNT striker Folarin Balogun. After the red card-that-wasn't at the World Cup, Balogun has now become the main character in a perfect transfer saga for this deeply unserious transfer window. The 25-year-old's mov...

Once again, Normal Gossip returns to the crucible that is college housing, and for good reason. Not only do stints in the dorms and subsequent apartments provide ample opportunities for self-discovery, but you’re also pretty much guaranteed to come out of the experience with an enemy (or six).

Today’s friend-of-a-friend moves in with five boys and one mysterious woman on short notice. If you’re thinking that sounds like a recipe for chaos, you’d be right.

LIV Golf recently sent out a mass email to mark the conclusion of its 2026 season. I imagine this was a somewhat slapdash operation given that the outfit, recently dumped by the Saudi Public Investment Fund, had to lop off the final event on its schedule, the team championsh...

The Trump administration has delayed the cleanup of PFAS forever chemicals at 243 military bases, further contaminating nearby drinking water.

John Thune: I worry about losing the midterms for sure

A shooting at a Tucson gay bar that killed 2 is being investigated as a hate crime.

The shooter was carrying a list of several LGBTQ-associated businesses in the area.

Law enforcement is often self-selecting. If you like the things you’ve seen cops get away with (violence, brutality, open racism, multiple rights violations, etc.), you’ll probably like being a cop. And before the pedants get carried away in the comments, I’m using “cop” as shorthand for the whole of the law enforcement profession, even if […]
