A Jewish soul's quest,
From LA to Irish shores,
Adrift in the waves.

John does his typical excellent work getting to the heart of this, associating apathy around Messi to a broader “creeping resentment” as one-time plucky underdog MLS has fully gone corporate.

I haven’t seen anyone talk about how Jane Doe - an Epstein survivor - just sued the Bank of New York Mellon for funding Epstein and failing to file a Suspicious Activity Report. A Mellon heir is the one who gave $130M to pay the troops. Seems bribey to me.

Meiselas: We’re 24 days into the government shutdown, and Trump left the country — the first president in U.S. history to leave the country during a shutdown.
This, while food lines are being seen throughout the United States. This is Trump’s America. Food lines like we saw in COVID are back.

Reagan’s words about tariffs are going viral after Trump’s insistence that they are “fake” created a “Streisand Effect”
Here’s the original clip of Ronald Reagan from April 25, 1987, where he delivered a complete and total rebuke against tariffs. Trump's calling Reagan’s words here “FAKE” and “fraudulent.” They’re 100% real. And the original clip is actually far worse for Trump, as much is left out of the ad:

Sorry, son, but it was important that we take away your life-saving medicine so we could afford to arrest and imprison your beloved babysitter and the guy who picks the fruit you like to eat.

I went to a very good public school in a city in a purple (mostly blue lately) state and was taught US history by an extremely liberal and social justice minded teacher.
I minored in history.
I learned what Juneteenth was for the first time a few years ago on Twitter.

I don’t think we appreciate enough how close Dan Radcliffe came to being a Child Actor Washout, and instead of crawling into a bottle and cashing Harry Potter checks for the rest of his life he became a universally beloved offbeat indie and stage actor whose work ethic and taste are unparalleled
