Watching videos from China increasingly feels like streaming a science fiction series.

JUST IN: The Atlantic warns America is becoming “postliterate” as daily pleasure reading has fallen from 28% to 16% — & nearly 30% of adults now struggle to paraphrase or infer from a multipage text.

FIFA is facing backlash for allegedly only checking Egyptian fans while not searching Argentine fans during their World Cup match😬

World Cup inching us just slightly more closer to class consciousness on the affordability issue, I’ll take it

🚨 White teenagers in Florida left their Black friend Marquise to drown in a river while taunting him with slurs and monkey noises from the shore.

Marquise couldn’t swim well and was wearing an ill-fitting child-sized life jacket. A kayaking family rescued him as he feared for his life.

He said his “friends” expected him to swim back alone. This kind of racist behavior is disgusting and should be investigated.

Not enough people are talking about flock. In the last month ive talked about it to people who had no idea it existed. The media is working so hard to make sure we dont even know what it is. We need to talk about it!!!

The USA is committing genocide against Black people.

This is arguably the single best moment of the whole tournament.

Trump told you he’d run America like a business.

He is.

It’s called asset stripping. You go in, sell the profitable pieces, gut the workforce, load it with debt, & walk away rich while everyone else holds the bag.

Venture capitalist politics.

You know the country is in a bad place when celebrities have to fund social services because the President won’t.

Landon Donovan says America is missing soccer talent because kids can’t afford to play.

“Only 2% of kids playing organized soccer in America came from households that made less than $50,000.”

“If you don’t make $50,000, your kid cannot play organized soccer.”

“Think about how many kids you’re missing out on in this country because they can’t afford to play the game.”

“There is zero chance I could have played club soccer.”

“My mom made $34,000 a year, single mom raising three kids.”

“She couldn’t pay $4,000 for me to play club. Are you kidding? She couldn’t pay $400.”

“That’s not a good system to create good players.”

This is, like, actual communism.

[Watchdog @ComradeWatchdog]

No.

Fucking.

No.

This is unnacceptable. We do not have to cave to these fucking greedy psychos who wanna use up all of our electricity and water just to spy on us and replace us and feed us fucking slop.

Fuck these people. Fuck data centers. Fuck AI. FUCK THIS WHOLE SYSTEM!

[Sean Padraig McCarthy @SeanMcCarthyCom]

Probably the most disturbing thing you regularly encounter in America is how many people have been socialized to worship the profit motive as some sort of God that holds higher value than things like children being able to play sports

[Harrison Lee @HarrisonCLee]

Thierry and Zlatan saying they wouldn't have become soccer players because of the costs of the American youth system, then seeing Lalas say it's a great system because it makes a lot of money for some people really sums it all up nicely

[Brittany Hughes @RealBrittHughes]

Hey @Netflix: The first season has 10 episodes and you binge it in a week. The second season airs three years later with 8 episodes that come out in two random chunks six weeks apart for no reason. And by the time it airs, you've forgotten the first season anyway and it's not worth the time to go back and rewatch it.

There. Just saved you a crapton of consulting money. You're welcome.

[Chris Murphy 🟧 @ChrisMurphyCT]

Well sure but there’s a “market” for everything, including K-12 ed, police protection, clean water. We just choose to treat certain things as a public good with a basic level of access for all.

We could choose to see some access to youth sports as a public good, not a luxury.
