I think over 80% of people in the twin cities are gonna have the same answer to this one

I have wanted to know the answer to this question for the last ten years tbh

Weird how twitter became the largest producer of CSAM in human history and legacy media just moved on from that but sure smugness is bad too

I would kill or die for Larry

sorry, we're deciding this one by goals per capita

“67% of profits went to just 0.1% of accounts” That is all you gotta say

Kaiju artists: take note of Neal's movements and behaviors as he destroys the works of man.

I think Finland is justified here, otherwise it's some real "win a fistfight against a bear" territory Which I would also give the Finns better than usual odds on, come to think of it

Who would have known Argentina would have so much trouble battling a remote Atlantic archipelago?

Everyone’s enjoying the excommunication drama but there are also lessons for pro-democracy political actors. Decades of accommodating and appeasing this sect did not work and only emboldened them. You have to go whole hog. When you have power, break the back of the reactionaries. Shut them out

Where I WAS wrong was in warning the Chinese that they couldn't keep conducting themselves in such an obviously exploitative and bad faith way and expect continued cooperation. Deeply misjudged how credulous the foreign contingent would allow itself to be

most irritating part of "how can you root for the US did you know we are bad" is why the fuck do you think I got here without thinking about all this and coming to my own peace with it why do I have to be in the slow lane with you, ever you missed this meeting I'm not giving you my notes

it's really impossible to communicate to people who have never had a male puberty what this phase of it is like. you spend your childhood as a chill little guy and then your body flips a switch and you've suddenly been possessed by a tyrannosaurus rex whose only emotions are Cum and Death

the "how dare you root for the USMNT" scold made think of a totally pointless but sort of funny intellectual exercise in finding the Least Problematic Team. rooting for Cape Verde, but also shaking my head solemnly periodically to let people know I do NOT approve of their period of one party rule.

By speaking out, this Major has likely relinquished his right to millions of dollars of future benefits and entitlements of his service. Health insurance, pension, etc. When Hegseth was threatening Mark Kelly an other veteran members of Congress, that’s what he was after. Not a small show of courage

I'll summarize this: Mamdani asked NYers to keep air conditioning at 78 degrees. A wave criticism hit online. A MSNBC broadcast pointed out the US Department of Energy recommends that 78 degree figure. Immediately after, the US Department of Energy deleted 6,000 web pages related to energy saving.

This whole saga has very much reminded me that most readers (and apparently some fiction writers too!) believe that writing narrative non-fiction is stenography: you find out the facts and then you write them down in order. Whereas it is absolutely, 100% considered storytelling!

Understandable. I like Quiznos enough to eat there* despite the deep-seated revulsion but I get it *Like a 20mi drive to the nearest one these days though sadly

new all-time FIFA men's World Cup career own goals leaderboard 1. Mohamed Hany, Egypt (2 own goals) 2. 65-way tie (1 own goal)

Know that libraries count things. How many people have cards, how many times a book or DVD or CD is checked out, etc. And then we take those numbers to our internal staff and say "look, people want this" to justify purchases, and then to local govts to say "look, we need to stay open".

lmao absolutely banger complaint. "i would be more popular if I weren't a twat". an all timer. get this woman a special hat or something

oh shit they all got signed!! here’s some good trans legislative news for once

Candidly a bit shocked the Confederate flag scored as low with Rs as it did

Incredible moment where Fox News puts up a graphic with all the reasons it opposes the DSA and why people should be afraid of them

"on average, many" is truly legendary math

OH MY GOD GUYS okay so priests who want back in have to find a bishop willing to vouch for them, swear fealty to Vatican II and then HAND-WRITE THE POPE AN APOLOGY LETTER (I gues so he knows they didn’t use AI? 😂) and are on probation for 1-3 years this is ten times spicier than I even thought

oh he on DRUGS drugs

I think a big part of the Dicastery repeatedly hammering on the name Lefebvre here and framing the whole order as "the Lefebvrists" is to remind people for whom that's a familiar name (esp in Europe) that they are in fact not nearly so innocuous as "The Society of St. Pius X" makes them sound

It’s been a hard and yet triumphant year for Minnesota. Ordinary people have been targeted by their fellow countrymen, and made heroic sacrifices for their neighbors. So, appropriate to remember that 163 years ago today, 262 average Minnesotans sacrificed themselves at the Battle of Gettysburg.

every job i see these days is like: LEAD CONTENT ANALYST, Puppy Killing Factory (remote). $350,000 - $500,000. You will edit our internal newsletter (circulation 500). Associate Editor, Nonprofits, Global Good Magazine (in office, NYC). $27,000 - $28,000. Lead ALL of our fundraising efforts!

It is very notable that the SSPX were initially excommunicated by JPII, who for all his many faults grew up in occupied Poland and sincerely hated Nazis, and were allowed back in by Benedict, whose relationship with the Nazi party was, shall we say, less antagonistic.

You know why no one's going to the Trump state fair? No rides. They just have that one stupid ferris wheel. If you're going to have a "state fair" you need a good two dozen janky machines from 1972 that look like they could break down at any moment run by felons. Otherwise why bother showing up.

I feel like portraying it as a fringe theological dispute between catholic sects over the 2nd vatican council and finger pointing over who's a heretic, rather than as a conflict with a fringe far right sect that says Jews are going to hell and Muslims are rapists hides the general interest aspect.

Describe the economy in a single sentence

James, I'm pretty sure Ken is referring to the time when they had slavery.

To be true this is nearly every upstream denomination a few years after the schism

We’re gonna need a bigger World Cup.

this was said as a Joke but its true if you say things that are nice about yourself even if you dont think they are true such as "i am so smart" or "i am beautiful" it is good for your brain and you will be happier

I don't think she liked the VAR decision

I know I’m following the right people because this is just one of *several different* Treaty of Tordesillas jokes on my timeline right now.

yup, one of those "barbed fishhook caught in your brain meats and never coming out" kinda posts

SUI-ALG: In 1859 Swiss mill owner Henry Dunant got a land concession in Algeria but couldn't secure the water rights. He decided to press his claim directly to Napoleon III, who was in a war zone in Italy. On his way Dunant saw so much carnage he forgot about his mill and founded the Red Cross.

i’m so sorry but as a jew i fear this is the catholic version of the classic @averyedison.com post
