As one New York financier told Financial Times journalist Gillian Tett, new hires who were seen as “AI natives” are turning out to have alarmingly shallow ideas. So much so, the anonymous finance worker admitted, that his firm now actively avoids seeking out AI-literate STEM graduates, and opts to comb through humanities students instead.

Two ICE agents tracked down a woman *inside a polling place* yesterday. Why? They demanded that she take down an Instagram post in which she named Jonathan Ross as the man who shot & killed Renee Good (after the Star Tribune identified Ross). www.syracuse.com/news/2026/06...

She believes the warning was related to a post about the ICE agent who shot Renee Good in Minneapolis.

Is this the Gen Z equivalent of manspreading? Where two men face each other with their phones halfway into the train walkway and don't move even when people are clearly trying to get around them? They are also actually manspreading.

Two men sit facing each other on a subway train. Both are leaning forward, elbows on knees, while looking at their phones, which extend into the middle walkway of the train car.

Put baseball on in the background; started a book in the second inning and finished the book 384 pages later in top of the 9th. Helpful that it's Braves/Angels who had a full bench-clearing fight in the 5th ⚾️

“Sometimes the sports world is not as friendly to the LGBTQ community as I would like...So it feels important for me to come and show my support as an ally and be part of it, and spend my money and show MLB and the Nats that this is something that I care about.” @youngeroliver.bsky.social

At Nats Park, a tradition continues and a ballpark becomes a ‘safe space’

The Nationals’ Night Out, the MLB team’s annual Pride night, featured a pre-game drag show and a first pitch from a ‘RuPaul’s Drag Race’ winner.

A few tips for NEH grantees: 1) if you've spent money on an awarded grant but have not yet drawn down the funds, make sure to submit the paperwork to drawn down funds ASAP. 2) the NYTimes article suggests that "DOGE" might cancel awards. If you receive an email from DOGE cancelling your NEH award,

Is it normal to feel a sense of achievement when you're purchasing books and the bookseller reviews your items and says, "Good choices!" as you're checking out or maybe is this something I should talk to a therapist about

Perhaps a controversial opinion, but I do not enjoy the Thanksgiving Day parade. Some parts are cool but the performances are so clearly lip synced and they're always very awkward. It's so long. What is the purpose of the giant balloons? Is it just for children and I am too old for this?

This is the best bit of advice I’ve seen on the internet 😂

My younger brother is trans. My parents have been horrendous about deadnaming and misgendering him. At Thanksgiving, I used an air horn to correct them. I fixed a 2-3 year long problem in two seconds. 10/10 would recommend this training method.

Please enjoy this, the most breathless and accurate description of a javelina ever penned (see alt for easier-to-read copy):

A screenshot of an article in SALON with the heading “Wild pig-like animals are tearing up an Arizona golf course”.

The accompanying photo is of a javelina in recline, presumably on said golf course.

Excerpt reads as follows:
“She's an eco-vengeance iconoclast who loves coyote pee and running at manic speeds. She's an unstoppable chaos queen with a stink-nipple on her butt, who turns luxury Arizona golf courses into free range charcuterie boards for her grub-worm girl dinner. She's a guerilla class-warfare legend whose mating call sounds like the hissing warb-garble of a cappuccino machine milk-steamer. She's the internet's most beloved trash-eating ungulate - the uncompromising, the indefatigable, the lovely javelina.”
