@AriDavidPaul @nub @NikkiMcR All these comments here and not one of them even attempted to refute what Ari said

It was a tallboy that had 12% alcohol and 156mg of caffeine per can. We would drink two of them, vomit different colors of the rainbow, and then black out, as was the style at the time.

I asked my husband (a tech guy) to assess Theo’s statement, and he shook his head for a few seconds and said, “I don’t even know where to start.”

He said there are real concerns around water, energy usage, space, & consumer prices for hardware, BUT…

It’s a temporary innovation and growth-related shortage related to a new tool/technology.

He said all technology is less efficient in the beginning. You have to crawl before you can walk.

These companies won’t want to pay whopping energy or water bills indefinitely, either. Eventually there will be a transition to cleaner or newer options.

New industries always take time & have growing pains.

The fear of data centers seems like paranoia about change (and paranoia in general).

It’s no coincidence that their loudest detractors are into conspiracies, too.

LEBRON IS COMING TO PHILLY.

By the power vested in me as the Governor of the great Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and a die-hard Sixers fan... I hereby proclaim today to be LEBRON JAMES DAY.

Welcome to the City of Brotherly Love, @KingJames.

[Joe Pompliano @JoePompliano]

So to recap what happened with the USMNT:

• Balogun received a bogus red card
• VAR protocol isn't followed (no slow-mo)
• Trump calls Infantino to ask about the process
• US Soccer lawyers preapre & submit an appeal

FIFA's independent 18-person disciplinary committee then met, approved the appeal, and told Balogun he could play in Monday's match against Belgium.

That's what everyone is complaining about?

All rules were followed, and that same process is open to every other country. The only difference is everyone knows the red card was a mistake to begin with.

[moses hess @moseshessstan]

A majority of the country is made up of decedents of people who fled pogroms, holocaust survivors, and Jews who fled or were kicked out of Arab countries. They were settlers, sure, but this idea that all the Zionists who moved there solely for the sake of evil colonization is ridiculous and verges on Holocaust denial.

I have to give credit where credit is due:

Stateside Live in Philadelphia is a very impressive bar. One of the coolest (if not the best) environments right outside a sports stadiums I’ve been around.

And large shots too. #Philly

[Ahmed Fouad Alkhatib @afalkhatib]

Hamas has launched an industrial‑scale campaign of terror, intimidation, interrogation, and blackmail against thousands of Gazans it suspects of planning to join tomorrow’s June 26 demonstrations against its violent, authoritarian rule. Hospitals across Gaza have been turned into makeshift police stations, interrogation sites, and torture centers. Clan elders are being coerced into issuing statements. Hamas operatives are stealing phones and posting fabricated messages to sabotage the protests. Families are being threatened, people placed under house arrest, and Hamas’s al‑Qassam brigades (the same forces responsible for October 7) have been fully mobilized to reinforce police and intelligence units with explicit shoot‑to‑kill orders.

Meanwhile, the mainstream press is largely absent, apparently because Israel is not involved – so no Jews, no news. And the Western “pro‑Palestine” industry is either celebrating the electoral victories of pro‑Hamas, hard‑left candidates or actively smearing Gaza’s protesters as collaborators undermining the “resistance.” As for the UN, NGOs, and major human‑rights organizations: silence. Not a word for Palestinians risking their lives to say they are done with Hamas’s terror and rule.

This is what the abandonment of Palestinians in Gaza looks like. Shame on all who stay silent in the face of jihadi, ISIS‑like violence against the very people they claim to champion.

[Aizenberg @Aizenberg55]

This should be front-page news worldwide:

Palestinian Islamic Jihad admits one of its fighters posed as a journalist and used Shifa Hospital as a base — precisely as Israel said

But because it contradicts the preferred Gaza Narrative™ it's totally ignored

[Ahmed Fouad Alkhatib @afalkhatib]

Exposing Hamas’s Use of a Primary Gaza Hospital for Repression: Hamas’s intelligence and internal security services are in full fascist mode across the Gaza Strip, beating, interrogating, and threatening anyone they suspect may join the June 26 protests against their rule. A few friends of mine in Gaza City have already been summoned. They were told explicitly by al‑Qassam Brigades operatives, Hamas police, and internal security officers that if they post anything supportive of the protests on Facebook or offer any help to protestors, they will be executed under “revolutionary conditions” and treated as collaborators with Israel; no trial, no process, just immediate death.

And where were some of my friends interrogated, threatened, and placed on house arrest? Inside Al‑Ahli Arab Hospital or the Ma'amadani/Baptist Hospital in Gaza’s Zeitoun neighborhood. Yes, the same hospital that grabbed global headlines early in the war after a faulty Islamic Jihad rocket fell and caused an explosion, which killed hundreds of people. That hospital is now a central hub for Hamas’s intelligence, militancy, and internal repression.

This is criminal on every level. And it raises a basic question: if overwhelming, well‑corroborated evidence shows Hamas using Gaza’s medical facilities to hide among civilians and enforce its armed rule, violating the October 2025 ceasefire, why have the UN and international medical and humanitarian NGOs and charities remained silent? Why has no one suspended operations until Hamas withdraws from the hospitals they support?

I want every follower and every official who sees this to contact and tag the World Health Organization, UNICEF, UNRWA, the United Nations, Doctors Without Borders, the International Committee of the Red Cross, and any organization supplying Gaza’s hospitals. Demand that they confront Hamas’s presence in the Al-Ahli Arab Hospital/ Ma'amadani / Baptist Hospital and every facility they fund, staff, and sustain. Even though the Episcopal Church/Anglican Diocese of Jerusalem manages Al‑Ahli, every medical facility in Gaza depends on international aid, equipment, and expertise, during the war and even more so since the ceasefire.

It is time to get Hamas out of Gaza’s hospitals. It is time to support Gazans risking their lives to protest the Islamist fascists who have destroyed their society for twenty years. And it is time for the international community to finally recognize that Hamas cannot be trusted to uphold any agreement. The group is committed to a last‑stand ideology – much like Hitler in his bunker – regardless of how many civilians in Gaza suffer or die as a result.
