the reason "studying for the spelling bee" in particular seems off is that it's Goodharting there's no practical benefit from being able to spell a lot of obscure words from memory; classically, being good at spelling bees was a sign of reading a lot and having a good memory
I get what wayne is going for here but it's not quite right, I think. It's true that we don't like people who study for the spelling bee, but that's not because we don't like hard work or getting better at things one isn't naturally gifted at. That seems off.

“October 7 was bad, but it didn’t justify Israel’s actions in Gaza.” This is a talking point that enemies of Israel love. They expect you to get defensive. Don’t. All you have to do is ask: “What did October 7 justify?” They can’t answer.

“A sufficiently large number of dollars is exactly equal to that amount minus 5%” explains a lot about California’s finances.
250 billionaires in California are worth $2.2 trillion. This is not a hard issue. They will be just as rich if they pay a 5% tax, and poor California kids + 3.5 million working families will get healthcare. Honored to join @BernieSanders to Pass Prop 40.

wild to see self professed environmentalists just sneer openly at building transmission lines, which every environmental expert would tell you is fundamental to solving climate change…
People care a lot about land, wildlife, and water quality, they don’t really care whether Berkshire Hathaway gets a faster NEPA review when it builds its next transmission line

"When I was in charge of the BAFTA ceremony, we asked a man who inspired a film raising awareness and acceptance of Tourette syndrome to watch from a separate room owing to the fact that he had that condition."

It's VERY IMPORTANT we hide away the disabled man from the awards ceremony regarding the film that goes into excruciating detail about how miserable his life has been due to his disability and how if we were all a bit more accepting and tolerant the world would be a better place.
After "I Swear" scored seven BAFTA Scotland nominations, the British Academy has said Tourette's campaigner John Davidson will watch the ceremony "via video link from a separate relaxed space within the venue." BAFTA and Davidson were at the center of controversy in February when he involuntarily shouted a racial slur at the Film Awards. variety.com/2026/film/global…

Sure, saving everyone aboard Flight FZ1073 was nice. But Mehdi Hasan getting absolutely pulverized by the internet in response is still far and away the best part of this whole thing

Tapping the sign:
Zohran Mamdani explains his definition of socialism to Theo Von: “Socialism to me means you’ll have whatever you need to live a dignified life and that it is the government’s job to deliver on that. When people say dignity we’re talking about the things that allow you to take a breath. Housing, childcare, public transit. No one should be priced out of these things. These are non-negotiables, you need these to live”

Let's just stop and ponder how impressive this really is for Europe: they have created a product that is demonstrably worse than Teams.
The European Commission has rolled out an alternative to Microsoft Teams. But officials using it aren't impressed, with one describing the tool as “absolute shit.” vist.ly/5kje9

Today a plane filled with 180 Israelis singled out a lone Arab man and attacked him. Think about that for a minute.

Such a weird time. In the last 5 years we went from “wear a mask and get a shot to save grandma” to “grandma doesn’t care that you lost your job and will never buy a house” 🇨🇦🤷🏼‍♀️😞
"The Liberals have a 30 point lead with those aged 60 and up with 18 to 29 year olds, Conservatives have a lead by almost 10 points." "Conservatives also lead with 30 to 44 year olds." "And if you have a lot of time on your hands to sit around consuming 24 hour news and taking in the threat of Donald Trump, perhaps you're a little more perplexed with that in ranking that issue higher." "So I still think that there's a real audience for the Conservatives on some of these more domestic issues around immigration and crime and affordability." "And when you peel back those broader numbers, the generational story is told in that." @KatlynHarrison
