wait, politicians can use their broad powers to help people? someone should look into this further

[upbeat zohran voice] I'm here at the Palace of Justice in Nuremberg, Germany, where 80 years ago some important progressive work started [smash cut] but hasn't ended. So here's what we're doing:

very good news in bleak times

All in all I'd have to say I don't enjoy being ruled by semi-literate perverts with infinite money

"It may take time to prove you're right, but you have to stick to it." - Fred Korematsu Jailed for refusing to abide by FDR's Exec Order 9066, he took his case against internment all the way to the Supreme Court - and lost. Remember him on Korematsu Day, January 30th. 1/

someone should not even be a member of the Labour Party with this view, let alone its Chancellor of the Exchequer unless of course the party is completely hollowed out and stands for nothing except being a handmaid for capital but I'm sure that can't be the case

I cannot tell you how much doubt was consistently directed at the Gaza Health Ministry’s casualty numbers and how much pressure was put on news organizations to couch those numbers as unreliable. Biden himself said they were fabricated! www.haaretz.com/israel-news/...

before you take any of the "Trump is pivoting/lamenting/lowering the temperature after the Pretti murder" stories too seriously, absolutely nothing has changed in Minneapolis: "an absolutely brutal day of raids and abductions" says one friend

giving my PS5 a little pat and whispering "thank you for loading the games so fast, you're so special" to make sure it doesn't get machine trauma

hey folks, six figure opinion columnist here and gotta say, made a big ol’ whoopsie on the most consequential and honestly, probably the most obvious opinion of my life. thats my bad. anyway, guess I’ll just keep getting paid to give my opinion, thanks for reading

Anyone who is part of the federal government who is not doing everything in their power to stop this administration, regardless of the assumed cost to normalcy or career, is a coward and a collaborator.

We confirmed a #measles outbreak in Snohomish County – the first in the state since 2023 – with three unvaccinated children ages 23 months to 9 years testing positive for the highly contagious disease. More at doh.wa.gov/newsroom/was...

as a football fan with a functioning memory it has been absolutely mind-melting to see every British institution go full tilt for "these real Bad Lads should DEFINITELY have been allowed in to the Villa game" the same press used to love treating everyone in a club scarf as a hooligan in waiting

I know how this looks, but it's tough for the CIA to refuse a direct order

half the tracks on this album somehow sound like the best Fritz Lang film you've never seen

vote for this incredible opposition party, where there's a ~20% chance you might end up represented by somebody with any principles whatsoever

send it back to the warp

something about every British person having the exact same reaction when they learn the name of the murderer is... well, I dunno, but fold it into the general absurdity dough of our times

there are currently people hard at work devising strategies to demonise this person and I hope they reconsider doing that but they probably will not

I feel like letting every president of my lifetime get away with Unlimited War Crimes was a serious mistake

it's a little bit fascinating in a sick way, the US press is so heavily captured and so well trained to run this propaganda they haven't even bothered to consider whether it's even vaguely coherent here (and maybe don't care)

what part of the Jakarta Method is this

this post is even funnier with the fancy uk schools labeler on

every compliment and all praise to whoever wrote this line, yes, one hundred percent, one THOUSAND percent

happy winter; after 3 years i figure it's time to upload some concepts from pentiment. here are some animals :]

Nearly 30 years of running CoF and never had a single person tell me anything bad about Perry. Only how kind, how generous, how helpful he was with everyone. When I tell you he was so loved, it's no exaggeration. So happy that he got that last run with The Cure. Rock on forever, Teddy!

return of the king

right, so, Netflix is buying WB, but Paramount wants to do that too, and the billionaire ghouls who own Paramount fund the president who is embroiled in a child sex crimes scandal, and so that's why we can't have this doc about the president's offshore torture prison, is that everything?

This studio awards-season email is really matching the current mood in a way I’m not sure they intended.

And just like that, SFWA capitulates. Keep fighting. It works.

The highly respected Council of Thirteen, some of the most successful clan lords from all parts of the Under-Empire, have just voted unanimously to rename the Hell Pit to the Thanquol-Boneripper-Hell Pit, because of the unbelievable work Grey Seer Thanquol has done over the last year.

(and then it did)

I know most people tune this stuff out but there are 4 different people who I know personally (who do not know each other) who are seriously ill and/or hospitalized right now due to COVID or Long COVID related issues. Protect your health. Protect your family. Mask up this holiday season.

there are three companies who produce RAM (Samsung, SK hynix, Micron) and they are all dedicating 100% of their capacity to AI with no plans to increase production (they know/suspect AI is short-ish term) consumer electronics are going to have a very bad time (already happened to PCs)

The run that Rob Reiner went on between 1984 and 1992 is one of the most amazing hot streaks any director has ever had. Legendary stuff

material conditions appear to be winning (still undefeated)

the material conditions of every voter in north america VS one melty brain president

writers on The Diplomat having some feelings right now

SKULL OF THOMAS AQUINAS: TAKE A LEFT NOW PRIEST: No, the GPS says we have to keep going— SKULL: I KNOW A SHORTCUT PRIEST: Do you remember the last ti— SKULL: FOR THOSE WITH FAITH, NO EVIDENCE IS NECESSARY; FOR THOSE WITHOUT IT, NO EVIDENCE WILL SUFFICE

FIFA trying really hard to give Scotland the exact same World Cup group as 1998 (until Norway spoiled it)

Yep, the Supreme Court really is just a House of Lords—a purely political branch with bizarre veto power, wielded capriciously and without accountability. Time for massive reform.

it's the sort of behaviour which ends an institution's (threadbare) legitimacy, really

Cannot stress how bad shit is about to get if you want to build any kind of PC.

Play an eleven chapter demo of Hexfinder, my alt-history interactive fiction game: cogdemos.ink/play/pparris... "1650. Queen Charlotte I holds the English throne. But the summer solstice approaches, and whispers of treachery hang in the sweltering air..." Coming... 2026(🤞) from Choice of Games.

this does seem very much like the answer, but unfortunately there are a lot of people with vested interests in lined pockets and sex predators staying free and they didn't just pay for one party - so we need to sort that out

Netflix/Henson would be digging all the muppets out of storage for more Dark Crystal And I'm using my despotic powers for a full season
