one maddening thing about all of this is the conservative idea that "election day" has always meant a single day until recently, which is nonsense. 19th century elections often took place over the course of an entire month, with results trickling out over time.

the republican justices are as pickled in MAGA slop as any pardoned jan 6er

they "new atheists" were always more Islamophobia than rational.

-I'm pretty sure by that point it was public that Dutch intelligence had hacked the Cozy Bear networks and the video cameras in their offices, meaning they had direct evidence it was Russia.

mind-boggling to me that i still have yet to see a single democrat utter the phrase “every republican president of your lifetime has destroyed the economy and started a war”

I don't really feel like the press coverage of the metaverse implosion honestly captures the access tech press' role in propping up Mark Zuckerberg's fake innovation mythology if you go back and read "journalism" from this era, 97% was indistinguishable from advertorial

The Israeli government is now doing to southern Lebanon what it has done to Gaza. Horror and death on an unimaginable scale. And still our governments supply weapons, intelligence and diplomatic support. #PartyToTheCrime

"only one side targets civilians''

The government's "earned settlement" proposals "pull the rug from under those who have planned their lives and commitments and are contributing to our economy and to our society...I believe in a country where we keep our word and live up to our values” Absolutely right from Angela Rayner.

to all who celebrate this annual tradition

masterful gambit to make shipping costs go up higher by artificially reducing the supply of truck drivers in the middle of the biggest energy crisis in 50 years

yes that's right guilt was invented in vienna in 1920

"no one would have considered introspection 400 years ago" my brother why do you think René got in that oven

The big fourth grade field trip for kids in the Tidewater was Jamestown, and the big fifth grade trip was Colonial Williamsburg

"The politics of careful positioning and poll-tested moderation have been tested, and on their own, they have failed to deliver the victories needed to protect democracy. The choice is to transform the party’s strategy to meet the scale of the threat, or fail." www.bostonreview.net/forum/how-no...

I think he and the people around him are just genuinely incapable of conceiving of a problem not solved by superior force, and also lack the theory of mind to realise that even if that's how they see the world other people might have other concerns.

we’re getting indicator after indicator that this is not going to be over soon

McGowan: You're saying 46 Americans died, so we should attack this country. Here at home, 68,000 Americans die a year because they don't have health insurance. So, if we're going to spend billions of dollars on something…

Is this like the hat in Scary Movie 2?

Pretty crazy how important the blockade of a trade route is right now

Famously upon the restoration of Charles II there was a parade held through London with prominent images of Dionysius; letting deposed Puritans know the boys were back in town, so to speak. I think we're gonna have to do that with Woke 2. Publicly cancel some prominent media men in the town square.

I cannot imagine Gearge W. Bush saying "Gog and Magog"

If AI hallucinates citations then it’s pretty obvious it can make other errors. The negligence is trusting it without scrupulously checking.

Statement from @quaker.org.uk about tonight's police raid on Westminster Meeting House. Guys, I don't think they're buying the Met's line about it all being a cover for plotting "mass shoplifting"

Wars are extremely hard things to justify. It is intrinsic to what they are that they tend to death, destruction, and misery. Given this and some knowledge of history, one's default attitude towards powerful people purporting to do the world some great benefit by war should be extreme scepticism.

this really seems bad.

I’ve worked abroad my whole adult life and fairness, consistency, ability to bring family, straightforward path to permanent residency / citizenship are deal breakers. If the UK wants high skilled white collar workers then these all matter a lot

Extremely satisfied with this midgame checkmate.

Many of the scientists Jeffrey Epstein courted were already well-established and well-funded. So why didn’t they all just say no? Science talked with three who did just that. Here’s how Epstein approached them, and why they refused to have anything to do with him. ⬇️ https://scim.ag/40qbXnv

they're already considering pilfering air defense from bases elsewhere in the world & it hasn't even been a week. i'm sure that'll be appreciated by countries who thought the US was defending them

god fucking dammit

Yeeesssss!!!! (This will always be the defining image for me of the “evidence” against Columbia students)

Listening to a talk where they’re explaining various problems with AI transparency and how AI companies will cook their score cards and I just never stop hating how capitalism makes it so much harder to know things like “is this powerful emerging technology safe?!” #SPSP2026

Lmao

Fuck no www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

tomorrow's article is a banger ngl

What a result!! Huge congratulations to the amazing Hannah Spencer - everyone in Gorton and Denton has just made history. This result shows @greenparty.org.uk can win anywhere, that the politics of hope can win over the politics of hate & there is no longer any such thing as a Labour safe seat 💚

People are always like what’s something you miss from the past and one of mine is antitrust laws

I honestly don't think suburban and country folk have a clear picture of how this would go either. Good luck driving your gas powered car 5 miles to town when the supply lines fall.

This is clearly blatantly intentional voter suppression and any claim otherwise is completely unserious

this is why the whole “oh, suffering creates great art” thing is bullshit you know what’s conducive to art? a roof over your head and food on the table you know what isn’t? stressing out over where the fuck the rent money is going to come from

“Is there a technology the left is excited about?” High-speed rail! MRNA vaccines! New cancer treatments! Solar and wind energy collection! Better and longer-range EVs! That wood that's harder than steel! New apples! Fibermaxxing! Buldak Swicy ramen! Muppets! Muppets are too a technology, shut up!

I spent my childhood inside of American concentration camps. I know one when I see one. And that is what ICE is building.
