January 6 was like a much dumber version of Hitler’s Beer Hall Putsch and yet a plurality of American voters were like, Yeah, let’s give that guy the nuke codes again. An absolutely world historical debacle of societal ignorance. I’ll never understand it.

Nathalie Provost concedes progress hasn’t moved as quickly as she’d hoped, but that hasn't rattled her.

A potential opening match with four-time World Cup champion Italy could taint what had looked to be a favourable draw for Canada with Switzerland and Qatar in Group B.

The World Cup draw was what happens when you have a fantastic sports event, too much money, too little taste, a nose for corruption, and giant stupid man-baby to give a nightmarish gold trophy of the damned to, in the hopes that he likes it. www.thestar.com/sports/socce...
Bruce Arthur: The World Cup draw is a mix of too much money, not enough taste and Donald Trump. Just what you’d expect from the beautiful game
But the result next year will be football, and all the glories it can bring.

7/Portland has reclaimed the frog as a symbol of its resistance to Trump’s efforts to militarize the city. Perhaps women should claim the glamorous, sassy Muppet Miss Piggy, a known diva with a fierce karate chop, as their own symbol

I keep coming back to the Joseph McCarthy moment where the red-baiting senator was finally asked, “Have you no decency,” and his cult of personality burst. “Quiet, Piggy.” We shouldn’t forget that the president of the United States uttered those words in this moment.

1/Catherine Lucey, the White House correspondent for Bloomberg, asked Donald Trump about releasing the Epstein files on Air Force One over the weekend. In response, Trump leaned forward, slashing an accusatory finger her direction and barked, “Quiet! Quiet Piggy,” at her.

A recent essay, “The Great Feminization,” posits that the growing influence of women is harming U.S. institutions. @sophiegilbert.bsky.social argues that the real problem facing American culture is quite different:
No, Women Aren’t the Problem
America is rapidly becoming the manosphere, but, sure, let’s go after the “feminization” of culture.
