I'm Buck Mulliganmaxxing: ✔️ getting statelier ✔️ getting plumper ✔️ already have light untonsured hair, grained and hued like pale oak ✔️ in a doctoral program ✔️ saved a guy's life last year (albeit from a stroke, not drowning) so I am ISO a tower in which to live and an artist roommate to hassle

VANCOUVER SATURDAY FROM BENEATH YOU, IT—sorry, never mind but come to this Saturday

I keep getting Addison Rae and Alexis Rose mixed up.

Additionally, this investigation concluded that around 45% of all wineries in Israel source their grapes from illegal settlements in the occupied Palestinian territories.

An investigation by a German outlet has found that in German supermarkets, wines from illegal settlements in the illegally occupied West Bank are labelled as "from Israel". This violates both EU regulations and the International Court of Justice's advisory ruling on the occupation of the oPT.

Okay but Zack Polanski has been coming out with bangers

We need to make the children ask "what is a good life?" again

The dog is inescapable, yes. but the fox? The fox is very uncatchable

For so long Amazon has had a monopoly on selling self-published books. Good to see that @bookshop.org is ready to compete in the space! www.publishersweekly.com/pw/by-topic/...

Kindergarten teacher called a prank ICE hotline thinking it was real. She called to report her 6 year old student to ICE to try to get them and their family deported. 6 years old. She does not enjoy hearing her own words and actions played back to her.

Remember that midnight raid in Chicago supposedly to arrest Tren del Aragua members? Newly revealed court docs show that the raid was facilitated by the building owners who are now accused of using the raid to evict tenants. DHS never mentions TDA in their filings: www.propublica.org/article/chic...

modern reboot of the book of job where god transes his kids gender rather than killing them all

To think a mere few decades ago, it was standard race science that the Irish had low IQs. Now, even a British prime minister is a mere idiot puppet of a political mastermind from one of our minor provincial cities.

A truly hideous right wing smear campaign against these six activists for exercising their free speech rights to protest - and confronted with the evidence all six have been acquitted.

Ive watched this about 100 times. This is why the internet was invented. Right here. Peak content.

Then and now the focus on individuals - Peter Mandelson and Michelle Mone - diverts attention from the real point. Our institutions, which should protect the public, just nod along with what is a kind of theft by the privileged. No one goes to prison, no one is ever held accountable.

wore my Rhetoric is perverted poetry T-shirt to a social gathering at the weekend and got the best possible reaction to it, which was somebody asking me "Is that true?"

If you are near the @brooklynmuseum.org, I’d suggest going over and seeing “Unrolling Eternity: The Brooklyn Books of the Dead” which started Saturday. “After a three-year restoration project, the exceptionally rare, 21-foot-long manuscript will be presented…” Ancient gilding is the only kind I like
