people always laugh when bears run away from housecats because they're so much bigger but like. imagine you were in the woods & you ran into a weird little guy that looks kinda like you but like 1/5th the size & his head is shaped weird & he is running toward you full tilt yelling. what would you do

liberals are incapable of doing commentary on anything without imposing a made up a goodies & baddies narrative. anyway i will big up upscrolled because it hasnt done anything egregious (yet) to my knowledge, is supported by tech for palestine & closest thing to an ethical sm site ive seen yet

Third, if Hamas took over a hospital or school in Tel Aviv, do you really think the Israeli military would level the building and kill everyone inside? No? But it's okay when the building is in Gaza? Gee, why is that? Because the reason is "Israeli lives matter to us and Palestinian lives don't."

WATCH: Here's the segment CBS News pulled from "60 Minutes" last night

"bats and newts"

Freshwater mussels turn dirty, murky water into clear, clean water, & some can live 50, 70, 80 years. In 2025, we relocated over 32,000 mussels out of the way of projects that would have destroyed them & their habitat! If that sounds good to you, help us keep doing more in 2026 🏞️ xerces.org/give

absolute genius maneuver from bari weiss spiking this story now an exponentially higher amount of people will care about this and watch it anyways

Your power bill has tripled and you can't afford new PC parts just to create this.

"why don't people feel well off any more?"

America is fucked

Headlines that cause the rest for the world to spit-take.

Can't care about trans people when rent is so high. Can't care about imperialism when I can't affording the heating. Can't care about the environment when my work are make redundancies. Can't care about immigrants there's no housing. GUESS WHAT, MATE?

ITS THE SAME FUCKING PROBLEM ITS ALWAYS THE SAME PROBLEM IF THERE'S A PROBLEM, I KNOW WHAT IT IS BECAUSE IT'S THAT SAME ONE AGAIN! SAME PROBLEM. SAME RICH CUNTS CAUSING SAID PROBLEM.

Please stop making excuses for men palling around with Epstein. Even if they didn't know all the details, the top line values were plain as day -- and deeply malign.

Just aside given some of the messages I’ve been getting. Epstein wasn’t just a bad guy because he was a pedophile. He abused and helped in the abuse of many adult women as well. Several are my friends.

If you pay attention to any large industry long enough and follow it to its logical conclusion you eventually end up sounding like a communist even if you started off testing CPU case fans. youtu.be/cUrJVdF2me0?...

If chattel slavery didn’t already exist, Mr. Beast would invent it using a really engaging YouTube thumbnail.

The system works

It begins on November 1st, and ends on December 24th. Only one major holiday takes place every year during that time, a holiday all about the movie's core theme - learning to be thankful for what you have and the people you love. The Nightmare Before Christmas is, obviously, a Thanksgiving movie.

If we're very lucky then the best thing to come out of the AI bubble will have been the increased investment in nuclear fusion. I really hope that aspect of this situation doesn't collapse when the boom goes bust because we really could still cadge some good clean energy out of this, and hope hurts.

America is a culture of child abuse. Ask any survivor - we find one another, we form networks and communities. The true scale of it would stagger and sicken you, and so it is buried, it is swept under the rug, it is denied and the survivors are silenced by whatever means are necessary.

Someone is going to Hell for this

I was assured that the state was crowding out private investment and that once it got out the way a much more efficient allocation of resources was inevitable? What do you mean the economy is nothing but scams and nothing works anymore?

there’s a ton of tangible, material benefit that humans were receiving from the American state until approximately 1973, and we feel poorer, sicker, and lonelier because we are

Nurse Hammam is dying! Nurse Hammam is nearly dead from cold!

CBS really Bari'd the story huh.

And this is what happens when you asset strip a country and pretend that money is a tangible, finite resource www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

This to me is the biggest issue. These men spoke at grave risks to their own safety about being beaten, raped, and tortured at the order of the President of the United States. All of Weiss's odes to free speech and "dangerous ideas" is and has always been horseshit

Something which isn't always acknowledged is that "contrarian thinkers" are just regurgitating conventional wisdom with a little extra racism, and these forbidden views are generally expressed by the most platformed mainstream figures, like Pinker.

my philosophy about Catholicism - as a queer person and a woman and just like a person who thinks a lot about systems of power in this mess of a country in which I live - is that no institution gets better if all the good people leave, AND ALSO no one ever has to stay in a place they were harmed

"And Here You Are, and It's A Beautiful Day."

The housing market is a total failure - new homes built shoddily on flood plains, older properties full of mould, landlords refusing to do a penny of maintenance - but the state fixing this is seen as lunacy.

One big difference between the 1960s and now is that the state was doing stuff. It was building, developing, improving. Councils were building houses, track was being laid. There was a sense that stuff could be done. And now doing stuff is impossible and illegal, nothing is affordable.

LOL yes, heaven forfend

The entire american "free speech" panic was about elites being criticized, which is why anyone who ever took it seriously should be ignored forever

This is why it is stupid when people talk about sending ICE officials to the Hague

the post this is in reply to is a masterclass in 'economist looks at data; understands nothing' these are such fucking obvious things to drill down into, surely no-one can be this dense? (again, not the quoted post, the 'you've never had it so good 😌' guy it's replying to)

I can see how religion happens Its 7am and still pitch black outside I could very easily be talked into sacrificing a goat to bring the sun/summer back It's worth a try 😂

what is the centrist obsession with insisting we're all richer than in the 60s lol. & how is this gonna save liberal democracy exactly also whats the special brain compartment that enables them all to ignore the price of an house as a multiple of average incomes (whichever average you use) or

It's just obvious that one driver can get multiple people somewhere much cheaper than a computer can even drive one car. Arguably it's best when it's free

As someone who never learned to drive, I used to think driverless cars would be the solution. Then I just realised that public transport already exists, not always perfect but usually gets you where you want to go

This is an absolute disgrace of an article. 7% of the electorate in this council ward voted for Reform and yet the BBC News report it as this.

'Listen to me as I come to your neighbourhood and tell your trans siblings they are subhuman or I will use the wealth of billionaires to sue you into oblivion,' is a very late-capitalism form of free speech right.

That is, his ideology is one must be a principled non-ideologue and conform to a world he, as a matter of ideological principle, believes to be very right wing

Streeting is *ideologically* a weathervane in the sense that he's a Blairite and their political identity revolves around them being "pragmatic", "sensible" and "post-ideological" in ways that they assume people to their left aren't.

The level of class solidarity among the worst people in Britain cannot be underestimated

But I am working on it

They mean like the AI George Washington who was breaking it down to Glen Beck in a muscle tee.
