Were the Russians who carried out pogroms against Jews protesters? Were the white Americans who lynched black men protesters? Then nor are these people. Spare us the euphemisms

Cats surprising each other. Mascara tips. Air-fryer recipes. What I do NOT want from tiktok: pseudo-scientific mic-drops that actively add to a landscape of misinformation, stupidify young viewers, and fuel nihilism.

this recent one made me, a fully grown man, cry

This is way too much into Mariana Enriquez's "Our Share of Night" territory

Faragists are increasingly gunning for abortion. Suella Braverman called decriminalisation "repulsive" Tice called it "Labour's abortion carnage" Andrea Jenkyns said it was a "tragedy for unborn babies" & now Reform's by-election candidate says abortion is a "cowardly act" Surprised? Don't be

Me, living in my rip-off leasehold new build flat in London where the temperature stays consistently under 28C yeah, who's laughing now?

You come to me, on the day of my son's wedding, which I am not attending

Opinion | "We lack political leaders who are prepared to lead," writes @iandunt.bsky.social trib.al/QG9u4P1

actually so angry about that Russian oil decision that I can't even really bear to feel my own fury, it's so all-encompassing that I can only glance at it from an angle, once in a while, then think about something else

Not a woman in sight.

It also fails to mention how Crenshaw lost his spine.

Oh, this episode is so good.

Buncha people, for 30 years: "Charles should just abdicate and let William be king" Buncha people, now: "My liege!"

Let him build the ballroom. Then, the first Dem president available gets to rename it "The Obama-Biden Presidential Ballroom" Extra points if Trump is still alive by then.

Literally *nobody* wants to exclude the elderly, the disabled, and families with young children (I have a young child) You know who we *do* want to exclude? These assholes: www.bbc.com/news/article...

The fucking people who spent three years telling us Biden was reckless fool because every Humvee begrudgingly sent to Ukraine could force Putin to nuke the world are now like, "WE THOUGHT THEY HAD NUKES, SO WE BOMBED THEIR LEADERS A BIT IN THE HOPES THEY'D BE CHILL."

When Starmer eventually goes I hope we remember to trace the beginning of the end to when he insisted on spending months marching Labour MPs up the massive hill of cutting disability benefits only to gut the bill on the day of the vote

Sorry, Zack, the only correct answer is "I would taser Nigel Farage. In the balls"

OMG, I knew Eleanor Crook was involved in a project related to this, but the result is *jaw dropping* For reference, there's a sculpture of hers in the Science Museum (London) named "Santa Medicina" that is alone worth a visit to the museum.

You all know that if Starmer were to resign and the headlines read "Pm resigns over Mandelson fiasco" less than 25% of voters would have a clue who Mandelson is, right?

What you need to understand is the vast gulf between: People who see the rules as guidance informing them of what good behavior look like, vs People who see the rules as a starting point for figuring out exactly what they can get away with before someone intervenes.

I spent 16, SIXTEEN years fighting this crap. I can’t believe it 😭

Regret to inform everyone that Peter Magyar beat the world’s smartest illiberal populist in large measure by working incredibly hard for 2 straight years, meaning the rest of us are just going to have to get off our asses and do shit rather than just complaining.

"I need to know what genitals you had as a baby" is a perfectly normal thing to be worried about

Suffering does not ennoble. If there is a single “lesson” to be drawn, that’s it. There are survivors who suffered and transcended. There are survivors whose essential goodness somehow endured. But they are the minority. As Jean Améry put it, a man once tortured remains tortured. So don’t torture.

The Ukrainian army has gotten very little positive coverage or acknowledgement for not doing war crimes on a constant basis even when they are waging a war for survival against an explicitly genocidal invasion. This is honestly completely unprecedented in the history of modern warfare.

I guess it's ok It's not like they called it "the final solution", right?

Yesterday, the International Space Station made contact with Artemis II, marking the first time in history that two spacecraft on separate missions communicated directly with one another. A first not just for space travel, but for humanity. Incredible. www.scientificamerican.com/article/in-a...

The Gulf states are watching their entire development model and years of diplomatic engagement to make it possible crumble before their eyes. And Israel thinks it is achieving security when in fact the landscape of destruction it's surrounding itself with is choking off any hope of a viable future.

Times like this you have to remember, America was colonised by the weird religious freakazoids that were too nutso for England then it all starts to make sense.

I still find it mad that I can scour the UK Politics section of @theguardian.com and find *nothing* about any of this.

So, to sum up, a couple of days ago Christina Koch became the first woman to see Earth in its entirety, and today – right now, in fact – she is the first woman to see the Moon up close, and the first woman to see the far side. 🥹

Depluralize a movie: For a finger of dollar

Very disappoted to discover Hamlet is not a family adventure about a little piggy escaping a butcher.

Hey @dawnbutlerbrent.bsky.social, constituent here! Got our annual bill for from leasehold manager and there's a weird new charge of £30k for "landlord fee" is this the kind of thing the leasehold reform bill is supposed to address? freeholder not just charging ground rent, but a landlord fee? 😳

The wife and I trying to upsize for a larger family this year are not enjoying this one bit

I don’t live in Israel I don’t have family in Israel I have never been to Israel but if I mention anything about being Jewish? well you’d better believe I’ve got to clarify that I don’t approve of Israel immediately stop conflating all of Judaism with Israel’s government but leftishly

Holy shit, I honestly didn't think this would be the outcome. Ecstatic!

Actually, Americans are just like you. ~20-30% of them genuinely support fascism, as in ~every 🇪🇺 country. You are just more fortunate to have political institutions & a multiparty system that prevent that 20-30% from fully capturing the center-right party, becoming 51%, & controlling the government.

The best gingerbread you've had in your entire life is below standard compared to this.

Yeah, sure, but can Claude have an affair with its PhD advisor?

I come from the future. A left-of-center Democrat administration will take a scalp or two, but otherwise issue a string of pardons in exchange of a functioning Congress.

This is the way.

Guys, I am *tired* Ever since I've been an adult, all I can remember is some iteration of "Middle East country hates Israel; hardliner Israeli PM launches preemptive attack; Iranian proxies retaliate against Israel & US; US retaliates; shit escalates oh, it's another recession!"

Nursery didn't want mine coming in as Winnie Pooh What's wrong with wearing nothing but a red t-shirt?

I'm elated and I don't even like the Green Party

This is the fourth winter under missiles and bombs, in darkness and cold. And once again fascist Russia has failed to break Ukraine, no matter what it tried.

Our focus on elite depravity shouldn’t distract us from the extent of mass public-level moral decay. There’s an army of little Kristi Noems out there.
