Saw someone use the example of Italian Americans in NJ/NY too. The thing is on the Irish one, Irish American identity are so interconnected that one isn’t rejecting their American identity by saying they’re Irish. Whereas British Pakistanis using that line are rejecting their own British passport.

One funny detail with trump’s time playing soccer is he’s so old, that when he played the offside rule didn’t exist

I think people also underrate the role the UK-US cultural relationship plays here. It’s the same reason King Charles rolled out the red carpet to Trump, and why his trip to the US had a lot of investment and planning. Including the speech to congress which was celebrated by Dems too at the time.

Overall, Bluesky World Cup discourse has had its flaws, but an upgrade on when people on early Bluesky argued “sports should be banned from being discussed here, they’re evil, leave that behind on twitter”

“Suburbs around Paris” is the phrase you see in a lot of writing about Mbappe and documentaries, in fairness that means something different for Paris than it does to an American city

There’s a possibility Norway reach the World Cup semi final, but then don’t qualify for Euro 2028. The idea Norway should be used as the model is hilarious.

I live in the uk, but is this basically the first World Cup since 2002 that’s a good time zone for Americans? 2006 - European time zone 2010 - pretty much European time 2018 and 2022, both European 2014 was in Brazil but all the games started earlier than US prime time is my recollection.

Could you post this thread to X please too. Can’t find it there, and only way I care share it v sharing a Bluesky link which is impossible for non-Bluesky users (normal people) to access

bsky.app/profile/zara... She’s on bluesky but this is her latest post here. Yeah it is interesting not to post that one here too. I guess her bluesky fans would be fine with it too anyway.

“Seems to encourage the response” So you really think it’s a reasonable response to banning Kanye - an avowed Nazi who sells Neo-Nazi merchandise - the reasonable response to that is make it about Israel. You guys are pathetic

So no seriously. It’s been days of this pace randomly looking like this and not loading and nothing from anyone about it. Cmon now. At least go “we know and we’re working on it”

Same questions for you Tony Some extra ones: - Do you guys all share a group chat? - When Booker drops one of his charming videos or posts opposing the war in Iran, you guys select the time you’ll all gang together to ratio him? bsky.app/profile/husp...

Do you weirdos turn on the notifications to Booker’s posts? You guys always spam same lines at him seconds after any of his posts drop. - Do you think he’s reading them? - Why not simply unfollow Booker? - Why do this every day, instead of more productive hobbies like soccer? So many questions

The “Twitter got musked so no journalists are there” line is just factually untrue. Most journalists still use Twitter and do fine! The hurting links policy also got reversed last year, since then tweets with article links are given same visibility as before and routinely go viral.

Chuck Todd stepped down from Meet The Press during the Biden Administration in 2023, so not the best example.

If you didn't catch the names in PTA's speech, the 1975 Best Picture nominees are Barry Lyndon, Dog Day Afternoon, Jaws, Nashville, and One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. There are no skips; there is no wrong place to start. They will make you love American movies anew, and demand the best from them.

Loved this piece at the time. And think you’re getting back into baseball at the right time, it’s probably the 2nd most popular pro league in America again. The last World Series between the Dodgers and BlueJays was so awesome too, I mainly follow the playoffs and 2025’s was awesome.

I’m not sure if they did get it completely right. Wonderful speeches, but the bit where they show the faces and names was far too sped up. Could barely finish reading who they are before it went to the next one.

Bluesky needs to learn from Twitter and also have a community notes system.

Hussain @huspsa.bsky.social · 03/03/2026
I believe there’s an error with the piece, where the whole piece hasn’t been published? It just cuts off at the end while responding to that Mic tweet and correctly explaining the issue with it. But feels like that doesn’t read like the conclusion of the piece, am I wrong?

I support Letterboxd here. Review-bombing something you haven't seen is lame. Plenty of ways to make fun of a movie you hate that don't involve giving it a fake score on a site people like to use for their real movie takes.

Nobody in the Trump White House uses letterboxd. It’s just a way to stop review bombing, which is bad in general. Melania is terrible, review bombing shouldn’t be normalized either and something right wing freaks did to Star Wars movies cause diversity bsky.app/profile/dave...

What’s your experience of reading on a Kindle like? Always been meaning to try it. The screen in your pic seems small, but I’ll dive into this experience soon

Thank you for doing a deep dive on this. I think a lot about how measles was cured in the year 2000, a vaccine exists for it. And now we see measles outbreaks in multiple states. The Trump-RFK Jr legacy on this is such a disgrace.

Though this dynamic is maybe logical, cinema and television often reacts with fairly high quality during tumultuous political times. There’s books about movies during the Reagan years etc.

The NYT’s visual investigations series has existed now for 10+ years. Their team has revealed war crimes under Putin in Syria. It’s not the NYT’s fault you’re confusing opinion articles for the actual real reporting the outlet does.

Original link in the post being quoted is also a gift link btw. Bluesky sadly instituted one of the dumbest policies in history where NYT gift links now don’t show in previews that they’re gift links. They used to, still do on Twitter. Actually ends up suppressing NYT links as less likely to click

The WaPo editorial board attacks Trump all the time! They did a funny “Two socialists enter the White House” when Trump met Mandan. Max Boot the writer of the piece above has always been a Trump critic from a conservative perspective. And WaPo’s reporting still awesome.

What age were they? It’s possible if they’re a zoomer they would be unaware how a library works, because that generations reads less because of people like Taylor Lorenz forcing them be on their phones instead all day.

I remember you tweeting this before, someone older than me explained how it worked in the early 2000s when they were bored in the office. They said their only choices were Bill Simmons on ESPN page 2 to read instead during quiet hours. Now there’s so much more choice for reading in those situations
