Que coisa horrorosa

Obama: "What I'm more interested in for Democrats is, do you know how to just talk to regular people like we're not in a college seminar? Can you talk in plain English to folks? And not have a bunch of gobbledygook around it. Just talk like normal people talk. 'The rent is too high.'"

Omg two cakes

Kemi Badenoch, Tories & the right cannot pose as the defenders of free speech & support the banning of Palestinian solidarity marches. You cannot go along with the creeping authoritarianism & attack on civil liberties evident in the UK & pose as defenders of freedom.

Core argument

My piece with @ajvicens.bsky.social on how hundreds of Americans were fired or otherwise punished following the killing of right wing influencer Charlie Kirk is part of a package that has been recognized with the 2026 Pulitzer Prize in National Reporting: www.reuters.com/investigatio...

We’re trapped in a liminal space. All the reasons for keeping Starmer as Labour leader have fallen away but it is not in any one individual’s interest to replace him. We’re stuck: dissatisfied, static, wasting precious time inews.co.uk/opinion/star...

Part of my Grand Unifying Theory of the Internet is that it's not and was never about "anonymity", but about mass usage of asynchronous methods of communication which have always historically been how people bared their souls to others.

Google DeepMind workers are unionizing over AI military contracts

Also... kinda seems worth noting that half the reason so many Silicon Valley VCs lined up behind Trump was because a pretty toothless AI policy plan from Biden that basically told companies "be more thoughtful." If the Biden admin had talked about pre-vetting models, it would have been a HUGE story.

I’m an AI optimist in that I think you have to be really willfully blind to not see the obvious potential for something like an infinitely patient and scalable low-level tutor, and an AI pessimist in that a variety of things make it more likely we get janky ed tech snakeoil instead in the near term

🚨🛬 AGORA | Um avião caiu em um prédio em Belo Horizonte. Piloto e copiloto morreram. O avião decolou da Pampulha às 12h16. O piloto acionou a torre de comando afirmando estar com problemas na decolagem. Bombeiros, SAMU e Defesa Civil estão no local.

Most of the hereditary peers lost their right to sit in the Lords under Blair. Going back to the 13th century, it is quite an event that the hereditary principle is over. The only (structural) oddities in the Lords now are the Crossbenchers and the Lords Spiritual. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

The post that got me the most hatred on the Old Site was that Israel is, in many ways, a leftist experiment and part of the reason leftists hate it so much is the don't like the result

I have raised the alarm about US tech in our public services but it took 12 months of FOI work to expose this litany of secret meetings. Disgraceful. We must reform lobbying so that advisors like this, and every MP, have to declare all meetings and influences. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

It’s never revealed that the government was arranging secret meetings with an environmental group or the RNLI or a teachers’ union or Arts Emergency. Always arseholes plotting in the background to make everything worse. Can we have some *benevolent* lobbyists? www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Isso apareceu na minha timeline e acho que não é crime ser pedante - mas É crime ser um pedante e estar errado sobre isso Em IPA, [kae̯ˈkɪ.li.ʊs] é não só uma pronúncia razoável para o latim clássico para "Caecillius", como é como está pro ex no wikitionary: en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Caecili...

Despite its modern setting and science fiction trappings, the Jurassic Park franchise is best understood as an example of the immram (voyage) genre of medieval literature. In this essay I will

Somewhat long post on the roleplaying element of 40k. I think the extent to which one is playing this to... like... pretend to be someone is interesting, cos nothing compels that mechanically yet it is clearly a huge part of why many enjoy the tabletop game sherdenpact.neocities.org/4thWall#role...

my formative yimby experience was being priced out of the neighborhood i wished to live in, and realizing that this meant i in turn would price someone else out of the neighborhood i settled for my conclusion was not that any renter involved was evil, but that we should stop playing musical chairs

The fundamental issue is that soft MMT ("taxes are for demand reduction and thus inflation control, you can spend up to your real resource limit"), which is true but banal, doesn't actually give them the policy wins they want, which is why the pandemic era effects just totally broke the movement

Longe de mim repercutir Maluga mas se for verdade que o Xandão entrou na articulação contra o Messias podemos dizer que foi uma articulação grande. Diria Sênior ou até mesmo Master Articulação

🇧🇷 URGENTE: SENADO REJEITA A INDICAÇÃO DE JORGE MESSIAS PARA O STF. Com 46 anos, Messias poderia ocupar a vaga até 2055. A rejeição é histórica: o Senado não derrubava uma indicação presidencial ao STF desde 1894, no governo Floriano Peixoto.

CARALHO O Senado votou um indicado ao STF. Literalmente sem precedentes.

I realize a historical analysis of global payments-clearing infrastructure may not sound like the most pulse-pounding read, but this is a really vital book for understanding how American power operates in the 21st century.

The ideological valence of "the King of Great Britain and the Pope take turns taking the piss out of the elected leader of a democratic republic" turned out to be, uh, somewhat different from what either Diderot or the throne and altar reactionaries who followed him would have expected.

Demand subsidy during a shortage is so fucking cursed. Asian and Africa is cooked if the west tries to smooth this over as a temporary commodities shortage when we have at least 4-5 months of some amount of shortage cooked in already.

Telegraph leads on the Mandelson/Starmer appointment in Washington with Palentir. A breach of the ministerial code is widely seen as a resignation matter. The question is what hold has this revolting immoral American outfit got over the government?
