3 d. ago Win a game show, become a US citizen? We’ve entered the realm of the truly depraved | Dave Schilling

Pizza-making contests and a ‘gold rush challenge’ are among possible events in a pitch the Trump administration is reportedly consideringI guess Republicans really love game shows. Just a few days after Fox aired its “isn’t Trump wild” guessing game, What Did I Miss, it was revealed that the TV producer Rob Worsoff has pitched the United States Department of Homeland Security on a series premise he calls The American, which would give immigrants a chance to compete in a series of challenges for the prize of US citizenship. The actual process of winning citizenship is obviously too boring to film. Filling out an N-400 form? Snore. A written exam? I’d rather watch a dog eat grass. Skip all that and give us an obstacle course instead.People have stupid ideas all the time. My child thought it would be fun to squeeze lemon juice in his hot chocolate. He took one sip, almost barfed on the table, then begged me to order him another, lemon-less beverage. Stupid ideas are great, because most...

4 d. ago Pep Guardiola making no promises on last start for Kevin De Bruyne at Etihad

Manager focused on Champions League qualification‘I think we’re going to qualify that is the main target’Pep Guardiola has offered no guarantee that Kevin De Bruyne will start his final home game for Manchester City. De Bruyne, who is leaving when his contract expires this summer, is set to play at the Etihad Stadium for one last time in a City shirt against Bournemouth on Tuesday.Yet with City still to secure Champions League qualification, Guardiola will not be guided by sentiment in his selection. The manager said: “What Kevin wants is that we win the game to qualify for the Champions League next season. That is what Kevin wants. It cannot be otherwise. I’m going to decide the best so that we can have the best chance to win the game against Bournemouth.” Continue reading...

5 d. ago Harvard, jousting with Trump, found a real Magna Carta. It’s a grand coincidence

The document is a reminder we’ve been fighting autocracy for centuries – and we can’t give up nowSometimes, miraculous financial windfalls happen when you need them most. A college student finding $20 in a jacket pocket on a Friday night. A relative who you didn’t really even like dropping dead and leaving you with a hefty inheritance. Or an institution of higher learning discovering they have an original copy of the Magna Carta. I’m sure you can relate.Harvard University recently found the antiquities equivalent of a $20 bill in its archives. What was once thought to be an unofficial copy of King Edward I’s declaration of principles is now confirmed to be one of seven remaining legitimate documents left in the world. Harvard purchased this item in 1946 for a whopping $27.50, or $452.40 in today’s money. Now that the piece’s provenance is confirmed, it’s fair to say it’s actually priceless.Dave Schilling is a Los Angeles-based writer and humorist Continue reading...

6 d. ago ‘Don’t yap to cops’: why Hasan Piker’s US customs story kicked off a backlash

CBP agents’ questioning of the leftwing streamer shone a light on an urgent question: what are your rights at the border (or airport)?When Hasan Piker was stopped and questioned about his political views by US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agents at Chicago’s O’Hare airport last Sunday, the popular leftwing streamer thought he knew exactly what their motive was. “Obviously the reason for why they’re doing that is, I think, to try to create an environment of fear,” he told his legion of fans on a Twitch stream in which he described his ordeal. “To try to get people like myself to shut the fuck up.”But the decision by Piker – a 33-year-old US citizen – to entertain the agents’ questions for nearly two hours has some of the self-described socialist’s fans and allies questioning why he didn’t do just that.

1 week ago Trump’s border intimidation is coming for US citizens too – ask streamer Hasan Piker | Owen Jones

The leftwing, pro-Palestine streamer’s interrogation by airport officials on his return to the US shows a chilling escalation of the war on free speechWhere are all the free speech warriors on the right now? Hasan Piker, a popular streamer with 4.5 million followers across YouTube and Twitch, who has been hailed by mainstream publications such as the New Yorker and New York Times as the left’s answer to the deluge of rightwing internet influencers, says he was detained and questioned for hours by border control agents as he re-entered the US (Piker is a US citizen). It is an instructive moment. Countries that behave like this towards political commentators and dissenting voices who are their own citizens are either nakedly authoritarian, or well on the way.Piker was reportedly interrogated at length not just about Hamas, the Houthis and Hezbollah, but his views on Donald Trump. The 33-year-old pundit – an unapologetic champion of the Palestinian cause – stuck to a message of opposin...
