Southern California is an awful, terrible, simply unpleasant place. If anyone describes it as “the land of milk and honey” clearly they’re lying to you.

Many people are saying!

Whats strange about soccer: It employs absurd mathematical precision to police offsides, a rule that mostly matters in spirit rather than in strict application. (You just don't want cherrypicking) But its extremely casual about timekeeping, whose literal application matters a ton

[Dallin Johnson @DallinJohnson]

Retweet. Just pause the clock!

[Dallin Johnson @DallinJohnson]

I've never been given a good explanation for stoppage time. Why add time to the end of a match when you could simply pause the clock during the match...?

They should invent an app that doesn’t log you out after updating.

“Freese also conducted an elaborate study on penalty kicks—and to this day he considers the results proprietary.

‘I like to keep that one private,’ he says. ‘But I”ll be able to talk about it in 15 years when I’m done playing.’”

This is our quant. 🇺🇸

[rat king 🐀 @MikeIsaac]

love this

my version: the crowded dive bartender is the great equalizer — doesn’t matter how rich or powerful you are, you gotta try to get my man’s attention and you’re one among many

everyone should compete for that with aura alone, money be damned

[Dallin Johnson @DallinJohnson]

Incroyable.

I was a US diplomat in Senegal and Egypt. In both countries, being gay is illegal.

Our diplomatic social scenes were a bubble, a small piece of the West where a man could mention a date with another man without fear.

One friend told me how much that meant to him. No one in his family knew.

I think about friends in his position when people in DC roll their eyes at corporate Pride.

Even if a lot of is marketing, some of those companies with floats are big employers in places where police hunt gay people on dating apps. Nearly 1,500 of the world's largest firms sign a pledge to bar discrimination against gay employees, in every country they operate, not just the friendly ones.

When Singapore blocked foreign firms from funding Pride, Dow held its own version inside the office. Microsoft in India held a camera-off anonymous LGBTQ inclusion Skype call. Some companies host a Diversity 101 course that teaches the definition of bisexual and introduces human rights in China.

Countries like Egypt want what these corporations bring: investment, jobs, and prestige. They can't fully shut out the values that come with them.

The nondiscrimination policies we asked for here travel across borders.

I’ve already been community noted on this once, and we are well more than a month later, nevertheless,

If I don't remember to tell Harvey "be concise; do not be verbose" it starts writing whole-ass research papers without being asked.

Crazy how Operation Warp Speed was both good policy and a complete vindication of libertarian criticism of the administrative state inhibiting healthcare and basically no one wants to claim it as a victory for their coalition.

Just saw a highway sign that said "speed limit enforced by aircraft", and I can't possibly imagine what that would mean

The Spurs know how to TAKE the lead, they just don't know how to HOLD the lead. And that's really the most important part of the lead: the holding

The Germans are revering Taco Bell.

Just wait until the Europeans look up and see this ahead of Tunisia-Uzbekistan.

The 250th anniversary is completely washed and nobody gives a fuck about it anymore but the “shitshow but ultimately shows us all that there are actually good people all across this country” vibes that characterized the Bicentennial have transferred to the World Cup

@jenbegakis They’ll see SoCal Mormons, for sure! But they won’t see the soda shops, the Joseph Smith sphinx, or the counterculture beer until the world’s focus is back on what should have been the State of Deseret…
