The smartphone really revolutionized the waiting room. Oh I get 20 minutes to look at my phone? Don’t mind if I do. The only problem is sometimes when I’m looking at my phone at home my home starts to feel like a waiting room and I realize it is and I’m just waiting to die

tied Spain
tied Uruguay
undefeated in group
tied until the 110th minute against the world champions and had them scrambling for their lives to prevent an equalizer in the last moments

Cape Verde was legit, no Cinderella

Feast your eyes on not just the goal of this World Cup, but one of the best goals in World Cup history. Consider the stakes, the moment, the technique. Are you kidding me?!? 🇨🇻

[John Jackson @hissgoescobra]

No two people are more different than Roosevelt and Trump. The former won a Medal of Honor, crushed monopolies, explored the Amazon, and was tougher than nails. The latter is a rapist, draft-dodger, and corrupt Gomorrah-appreciator riddled with insecurity. Piss off with this.

What is the penalty for a president buying 327 stocks the day before he moves the market 9.5% and hiding it for a year?

$200.

[John Fanta @John_Fanta]

This Malik Tillman strike will live on forever in USMNT history.

Couple that with the heart & guts of a team that spent half an hour down a man in a knockout game yet still posted a clean sheet and it’s a performance that unites a country.

What a win. 🇺🇸

[Adam Cochran (adamscochran.eth) @adamscochran]

So last month when McConnell was rushed to hospital he was unconscious.

He’s not been heard from since and his staff won’t even confirm if he’s still in hospital, or a prognosis.

… are they just trying to wait out his term to avoid a special election?

BREAKING: Look at this.

The day before Trump paused tariffs, triggering a historic 10% market rally, his accounts purchased 327 stocks worth up to $12.8 million.

The trades were disclosed more than a year late, resulting in a $200 penalty.

Unusual.

The real headline from the birthright‑citizenship case isn’t the outcome. It’s that four Supreme Court justices signaled they believe a president can effectively rewrite the Constitution through executive order.

[Ramon @TresOlas]

3 or 4 out of 9 justices almost killed birthright citizenship. Pack the court #supremecourt

[OSINTdefender @sentdefender]

The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that children born in the United States to parents who are unlawfully or temporarily present are U.S. citizens at birth under the Fourteenth Amendment, striking down President Trump's executive order restricting birthright citizenship as unconstitutional.

Chief Justice John Roberts delivered the opinion of the Court, joined by Justices Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan, Amy Coney Barrett, and Ketanji Brown Jackson.

Justices Clarence Thomas, Neil Gorsuch, and Samuel Alito dissented. Justice Brett Kavanaugh concurred in part and dissented in part.

[Patrick Skinner @SkinnerPm]

Dear Washington Post. Once a guilty verdict has been rendered, it’s no longer an allegation. It’s a fact. The jury did not find that the disgraceful president allegedly sexually assaulted & then defamed Jean Carroll. The jury found that he did sexually assault & defame her. Duh

[Norman Ornstein @NormOrnstein]

Justice Sotomayor is right. The unitary executive theory has no basis in the constitution and is half baked at Best. Six right wing justices who have already blown up the constitution with the insane immunity decision, now take it even further, giving a malignant narcissistic dictator, a clear path to using power against his perceived enemies. We have seen with the monstrous Brendan Carr how regulatory power can be misused for malign purposes. The Robert/AlitoCourt is by far the worst in American history.

[Aaron Parnas @AaronParnas]

This case will not be talked about much, but today the Supreme Court abolished the independence of many federal agencies. It is a decision that will grant the President more power than a king.

I’m convinced that the most underrated trait in a romantic partner is that they bring peace into your life. Days are filled with enough chaos and uncertainty. Being able to come home to someone who defaults to emotional consistency, who creates a peace, is massively underrated.

[Ramon @TresOlas]

The parallels to the president in that A24 Civil War movie are uncanny

[MeidasTouch @MeidasTouch]

Trump rages after the Supreme Court declines to take up his E. Jean Carroll appeal and further defames her. Trump says this “never be allowed to happen to another President, or Candidate to be!”

[Chef Joe Gera 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🇮🇹 @redhotnerd]

I can vouch for this. We filled out the paperwork to be a food vendor specifically with barbecue and had planned to be there for the entire celebration. Stopped hearing from organizers late last summer, and here we are. Truly sad what has happened, this would have been a truly incredible event.

[Anish Moonka @anishmoonka]

In 2015 a writer named Tim Urban sat down and counted the days he had left with his parents. He was 34, healthy, both parents alive and well. The number came back around 300. Less time than he spent with them in any single year of his childhood.

The post is called The Tail End, on a blog called Wait But Why. The idea is to stop counting your life in years and start counting it in events. Reach 90 and you get about 4,680 weeks, and every one of them fits on a single sheet of paper. Maybe 60 more winters after that. If you read five books a year, that is 300 books, picked from every book ever written.

Those things at least spread out evenly. A third of the way through life means a third of the way through your pizzas. Time with the people you love does not work like that. Almost all of it sits at the very start. Then it is gone.

For your first 18 years you are around your parents nearly every day. Then you leave for college or a job in another city, and a normal adult sees their parents maybe 10 days a year. So the day you move out, you are already at 93 percent. Urban was living in the last 5 percent and had no idea until he drew the chart. He called it the tail end.

It does not stop at parents. His two sisters, after a whole childhood in the same house, had around 15 percent of their time together left. The four friends he played cards with most days in high school were down to their last 7 percent. Nobody had a fight. Nobody moved away angry. Life quietly spends the time for you while you assume there is plenty left.

You do not have to be old to be near the end with someone. If your parents are alive and you live in a different city, you have probably already used more than 90 percent of the days you will ever spend in the same room as them.

His one instruction is about that last stretch. When you are down to the final days with someone you love, treat that time like what it is, which is almost gone. The rest is the tail end, and it is much shorter than it feels.
