  Really weird that this article doesn't mention NWSL, Liga MX Feminil, La Liga F, Première Ligue, or any of the pro leagues playing reallly good football RIGHT NOW. There is a toss-off mention of the Women's World Cup in Brazil next year, but otherwise, it's like women don't exist. And that's bonkers, because those leagues are popular and profitable with hundreds of millions of fans. Where to watch soccer now that the World Cup has ended | AP News https:...

  "About a week after its allies won a Supreme Court ruling allowing states to ban transgender girls from girls’ school athletics, a leading conservative group that has campaigned for seven years to “protect women’s sports” is singing a very different tune. On July 8, the Heritage Foundation ... [called] for the rollback of the very landmark federal protections for women’s sports that have driven their explosion in popularity over the last five decades." https://www.motherjones....

  So SpaceX stock is down to $115/share, which is still massively over-valued. Xitter is losing money, Grok/xAI is losing money, and they dwarf what modest earnings the rocket company and Starlnk portions of the company can earn. And yet, if you have a retirement fund, you were essentially forced into investing in this polished turd as soon as it was admitted to the S&P, only to watch its value dwindle. #ThingsIAmMadAboutToday

  I heard some good things about the Obi-Wan Kenobi series, so I belatedly started watching it, 4 years late. I really wanted to like it, but I just can't, the dialogue is dreadful, and not even in the dorky Lucas sort of way.

  "In other words: many American leaders are so old that it is plausible that they could drop dead at any moment, and so unaccountable that it’s not clear anyone would bother to tell us if they did."

  Auto-centric development is a scam. "New vehicles now sell for an average of nearly $50,000, up 30% in six years, and average monthly payments — based on 10% down and a 6-year note — recently hit $775. Looking for something on the cheap end? The share of vehicles listing for less than $30,000 is about 13% — down from 40% five years ago" For some Americans, rising costs put a new car out of reach | AP News https://apnews.com/article/car-shopping-affordability-midterms-83ae4eb...

  America is so starved for affordable EV options that the mere hope of a $20,000 EV drives hype cycles. #SlateAuto doesn't even have a factory yet, but people are putting down non-refundable deposits. Meanwhile, GM and Ford are scaling back their EV plans and discontinuing EVs like the Bolt. They deserve to have BYD eat their lunch.

  I don't feel like post-Civil War Reconstruction is taught well in American schools. I didn't know about the Colfax Massacre and the death of ~150 citizens by former Confederates and KKK members until reading Ron Chernow's Grant biography. It happened in this day in 1873. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colfax_massacre

  What’s good this Friday? ¿Qué hay de bueno este viernes? For me it is the new album by #Deary that just dropped. Titled *Birding*, it’s a lovely shoe-gazey album with lush sounds and thoughtful lyrics, just a really good time. #GoodFriday https://deary.bandcamp.com/album/birding

  Media coverage of Musk's companies continues to fail the public. SpaceX exists almost solely off of government contracts—our money—and just rolled exTwitter and Xai into that single company to hide the losses in those companies. The planned IPO will seek more Americans' money to allow Musk to cash out. This is a deeply cynical ploy, but financial outlets report it breathlessly. Elon Musk’s SpaceX buys xAI in stunning deal valued at $1.25 trillion ahead of looming IPO https://fin...
