One in 8 men say they could win a point in a game of tennis against Serena Williams. In reality “Confident in my ability to properly tennis, I take the court. I smile at my opponent. Serena does not return the gesture. She'd be prettier if she did, I think. She serves. The ball passes cleanly through my skull, killing me instantly”
Put more simply: documents and interviews establish how a first-time contractor was paid millions of dollars to apply a novel solution designed by a golf club manager to a national landmark. 's like asking the museum guard to restore a painting in the Met," said Charles Birnbaum, president the Cultural Landscape Foundation, a nonprofit that has sued unsuccessfully to stop the work. Neither Rhino Linings nor Schutzenhofer answered questions about their roles in setting up the Reflecting Pool repairs or in choosing Atlantic for the application. Schutzenhofer also communicated in January and February with Greenwater Services, an Ohio-based company owned by a Trump donor's investment firm, about installing water-treatment equipment called nanobubblers to kill algae, according to emails reviewed by the Times. Federal law required the project to face reviews from nonpartisan, career employees, to ensure that taxpayer money was not wasted and national icons were not damaged. The Interior Department swept those hurdles aside. It approved a no-bid contract for Atlantic, even though multiple companies had expressed interest in bidding. It issued another no-bid contract to Greenwater, even though other firms could have supplied the nanobubblers. It bypassed consultations with preservationists and other experts, even though a career employee said the project was significant enough to require it. And it approved Atlantic's request to be paid a 20% profit margin, even though a Park Service procurement employee found that number "inflated" and "excessive". The contractor got all it asked for, plus more than $1M on top of that, for a total of $14.7M.

From Salon https://www.salon.com/2026/07/15/maga-influencers-exploit-graham-platner-scandal-to-win-back-men/ “Despite trying to establish herself as a friend of sexual abuse survivors, former GOP Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene answered the siren's call of rape denial. A proper rape victim, she tweeted, should "report it immediately ….. And if you had consensual sex with him years ago, don't turn it into rape for politics." Greene later deleted the post, likely after being reminded that she's tanking her own goal to be seen as an advocate for the victims of deceased predator Jeffrey Epstein, most of whom also stayed silent for years.”
“While I was in Beirut another doctor told me the story of a child from Gaza who, after coming to Lebanon, learned that a man had died a natural death. The child did not understand. He did not know that death could come this way. It had to be explained to him, that people die of old age. The only cause of death the child knew was Israel. And he knew it well.” – Mary Turfah
Reporting Highlights • Conflicted Funds: BP sponsored an elite Princeton research center to address the climate problem without getting off fossil fuels, handpicking scientists aligned with their interests. • A Paradigm-Setting Paper: Princeton scientists who wrote a climate paper criticized as making solutions seem "easy" coordinated with the oil company's executives and showed them multiple drafts. • Oversold Solutions: Researchers depicted technology to capture carbon and store it underground as being proven and in use at industrial scale, a characterization that stretched the facts.

NY prosecutors dismiss rape case against Weinstein Jessica Mann cannot deal with the trauma of a fourth trial - "In all of this ordeal, I was treated as though I was the person on trial. By coming forward about being raped, I have been treated by some as if I was defiling the sacred sexuality of a man. Yet I was the one who had my sexuality defiled," Mann said. "It is clear, when a convicted rapist is awarded privileges to continue to shield a jury from past settlements, nondisclosure agreements, prior convictions, or other abuse, there is no true justice for a victim of sexual assault when that rapist is a predator." While panelists couldn't agree on Mann in 2025, Weinstein was convicted anew of assaulting Haley. Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Curtis Farber said he would sentence Weinstein for that conviction on Sept. 23. Regardless of how his sentencing pans out, Weinstein, who's been behind bars since the first jury found him guilty, has a long road ahead. He was also convicted in Los Angeles, in 2022, for raping and sexually assaulting Evgeniya Chernyshova in early 2013, weeks before the attack alleged by Mann. Jurors did not hear about that case.
You'll notice Florida's tough-talking CFO, Blaise Ingoglia, isn't saying squat about any of this. He and his office have refused to answer questions about audits for any of the "emergency" immigration spending that I started posing last year. And WKMG recently reported that when their viewers started asking "What about Alligator Alcatraz?" his office deflected, saying it had "full confidence in the Trump ministration's financial review of Alligator Alcatraz." Apparently, Blaise is too busy screaming about a $6,000 annual stipend for Orlando's poet laureate to focus on $1 billion being blown on no-bid contracts down in the Everglades. Remember: The Sentinel revealed that the state hasn't yet produced a single audit on all this "emergency" immigration spending — audits that state statutes say are required. So we're missing both audits and competitively bid contracts while reading one report after another bout bloated spending. Gee, you think there might be a connection? Gaetz is back Did you see that Matt Gaetz is back? State House Speaker Daniel Perez decided to appoint the controversial former congressman to the state nonprofit that oversees spending of the settlement money from the Deepwater Horizon oil spill. Gaetz, as you may recall, was forced to withdraw his nomination for attorney general, meaning he was one of the few people too toxic for even swampy DC - but apparently a perfect fit for Floria.
That's the logic of the whole market today. AI - the world's money-losingest technology - attracts investment at the expense of everything else. When horrified NIH lifers begged the DOGE boys not to shut down long-running medical research projects, Musk's broccoli-haired brownshirts laughed in their faces, saying we don't need cancer research because "GAI" is almost here and it will cure cancer. You could hardly ask for a better example of investing in vibes over value than shutting down real cancer research to free up money for teaching more words to the word-guessing machine because it's about to become God and cure cancer.
In the Guardian, a birthday greeting from Greta Thunberg to the psycho rapist in the White House. “My initial thought was to give you a one-way ticket to The Hague as a birthday gift, but that comment would probably go above your head. I will instead give you a can of alphabet soup; the sentences you poop out will be more coherent than anything you have ever said. Now you can finally take part in meaningful public discourse.” • Greta Thunberg is a climate activist, about whom Trump tweeted, after she was named Time magazine's Person of the Year for 2019: "Greta must work on her Anger Management problem .. Chill Greta, Chill!"

New, by me: A number of high-profile and/or valuable Instagram accounts, including those of the Obama White House and the Chief Master Sergeant for the U.S. Space Force, got hacked and defaced with pro-Iran messaging in the past 24h after people figured out that Meta's Al support assistant could be tricked into resetting account passwords. From the story: "A video released on Telegram by pro-Iran hackers claimed to document a remarkably simple exploit that appears to have involved using a VPN connection with an IP address that is in or near the target's usual hometown, requesting a password reset for the account…
A Kenyan court has halted a US plan to fly potentially ebola infected Americans to quarantine in Kenya in a facility that's not built yet, in exchange for a piddly amount of aid money. Kenyan's are rightly furious. "A Kenyan doctors' union on Thursday issued a 48-hour strike notice should the country proceed with the deal. It said the U.S. was clear that they would not allow Ebola on their soil and that Kenya should not become a "dumping ground." "As the vanguard of Kenya's healthcare system, we are utterly disgusted by the government's apparent willingness to trade national biosecurity and the lives of its citizens for foreign aid," the union's chairperson, Davji Atellah, said in a statement. Ordinary Kenyans have been angered by the plan. "Why do they want to get infected people and bring them to Kenya? Kenya is not a dumping area for such sick people," laborer Cedric Akweyu said in an interview with The Associated Press. Student Wycliff Otieno also expressed concern. "It is like the government has been given a lot of money by the U.S. So, it is like they are selling us," he said. In northeastern Congo, health workers with scant supplies have been struggling to contain an outbreak of the Bundibugyo virus, a kind of Ebola that has no approved treatment or vaccine"

From deirdre.assenza on Threads. She can’t get access to her Bsky account anymore so asked that Thriends cross post her farewell to Bsky. Been a long time. Felt like I should come back just to say I won't be returning to social media. Having nude pictures taken of me and disseminated without my knowledge or consent has been the most traumatic thing that has ever happened to me. I've been very suicidal for the past year. It was because of my social media presence that I was targeted. So for my mental health and my family I am calling it quits for good.
Questions: How long will it take America to recover after Trump is gone? Answer from Franklin Veaux (Portland, OR): About as long as it took Germany to recover after WWII: basically, two generations. But we will never, ever recover the power and influence we once had, just like Germany didn't. That will never happen. That is gone and it will not come back. The next hundred years will be the age of China, not America.

Nick @Nickiquote@mstdn.social I call people fucking cunts on 3 platforms. Here's what l've seen. 1. Mumsnet. Lots of engagement on posts where I call JK Rowling a fucking cunt. Banned. 2. LinkedIn. More consistent engagement with me calling Elon Musk a fucking cunt being most viral. Banned. 3. Mastodon. I once did a post where I called JK Rowling and Elon Musk a pair of fucking cunts and John Mastodon sent me a nice hamper. Apr 06, 2026 at 08:14 AM
This is a clothing label from a small American company that sells their product in France. Here's the translation of the French part of the label. Wash with warm water. Use mild soap. Dry flat. Do not use bleach. Do not dry in the dryer. Do not iron. We are sorry that our president is an idiot. We did not vote for him.
