Pope Leo, your homeland calls for aid. Let thy holy inquisition sweep the lands and into every church of every heretical American sect.

Such an underrated movie

My apologies. I wasn't aware that I wanted this dipshit to tell even more Americans that it's progressive for my friends and neighbours to be slaughtered en masse.

And you thought the mandatory office party was bad

Happy April Fool's Day! I am not a fan, since I defended my diss. OTD in 2011 & was terrified that they would play a bad joke. However, I like to reflect on the fact Elagabalus had tamed, pet lions & leopards he would send into bedrooms of drunk palace guests to scare them at night (HA. Elag. 25). 🦁

I already know how to create a custom feed without coding, it’s called the following tab

What I gather from this ancient Babylonian dialogue (and others) is that we have grappled with injustice for millennia. We've talked about it with our friends, and we've felt understandably depressed. How can we not? But we will keep fighting, and the smoke will clear one day...

This guy like "I've always wanted to be a marathoner, but I didn't want to run long distances. But now, with the help of this handy SUV, I'm crossing finish lines like there's no tomorrow! 😁"

Signs of a healthy society: its citizens drink on average twice as much alcohol as their counterparts on the other side of the border.

They're boxy, but they're good.

jupiter wishes you a very happy trans day of visibility 🏳️‍⚧️

pls remember that star trek is actually about romulans and the federation shooting at each other, not social issues.

The solution focused policies the public have been craving.

Andy Weir thinking older seasons of Star Trek never talked about politics or social commentary reminds me of when Paul Ryan said one of his favorite bands was Rage Against the Machine

Every European right winger:

China is run by socially conservative politicians

That we still can’t read Linear A is crazy to me. The Minoans are one of the most evocative and well studied civilizations of the ancient world, we have hundreds of preserved documents and no one can read them.

art gallery: You finish that painting of Frodo and Gollum? Artist: Sure did boss, real fuckin sexy just like you asked.

that's.......the whole entire point of star trek

Yeah this is the best GIF ever

Okay but it's not though. You do understand that it's not

Every sentence brings something new to the madness. Stick it on CEEFAX.

Have to give it to the bot this is the funniest spam I’ve seen all week

I once again repeat the words that greatly influenced me when I was 20 years old and training to resist, if necessary, the might of the entire Russian army without outside help. When a braver man than I asked “do you expect us to win against all that,” the instructor paused. And said:

Wall Street rn

Author of the Torment Nexus would like to remind everyone that the Torment Nexus is bad

This post again reminded me of the existence of Morten Messerschmidt, a Danish far right politician who reads as a very unsubtle parody of a European far right politician. Like who’s his successor, Fredrik Focke-Wulf?

look at this baby beaver and feel better briefly (@ wildheartrescue on TT)

This whole concept in LOTR is one of my favourite parts of the whole book. “Evil fucks up because evil people fundamentally cannot imagine that others are not motivated by the same things as them” is another theme that feels relevant right now

I have written a petition against T-rump’s threat to destroy Iranian power plants and the IRI’s threat to hit GCC power and water plants in retaliation. This madness needs to stop. Any experts (international law, human rights law, etc) willing to review it to make sure it is proper?

Most of the quotes and replies are just this

This week on the blog, I get grumpy about Graeber and Wengrow’s The Dawn of Everything and talk about medieval ideas of inequality (add your anarcho-syndicalist peasants here). #medievalsky salutemmundo.wordpress.com/2026/03/19/a...

If the Iranians sink an Argentine warship does Keir Starmer have to thank them for their contribution to the defence of the Falklands?

Swedish soft power

okay but here’s the thing (and I am not trying to pick on this person so don’t yell at them) - there is a lot, and I mean a LOT, of antisemitic stuff floating around right now that people excuse because Israel is a genocidal rogue state and we see it and the difference is generally pretty clear

I refuse to believe this is a real bird

Getting dangerously close to actually talking about what I do here, but the boring answer here is kind of frustrating in a lot of policy related research on immigration because we endlessly look for policy related tweaks when there’s a giant neon sign with LET PEOPLE WORK floating overhead

The most accurate Hormuz Strait simulator has been revealed to me in a dream:

And again, events in the Caribbean are not "a far away place of which we know little" for Europeans when over 3 million people in the Western Hemisphere are citizens of either full EU or overseas territories that are under the control of the UK and EU states.

let's not ignore a serious issue just because it's politically incorrect to point it out: a man has never won Best Casting

Maybe most Nordic radio broadcast you will ever hear: “Which Nordic country has the best Eurovision song — and which country will come last? And Swedish military vehicles have crossed the world's most peaceful border; we will talk about the NATO exercise Cold Response."

Loathing for the IRGC regime does not make it necessary to celebrate the disastrous strategic vandalism pursued by Trump and Netanyahu. Loathing for the Trump cartel does not make it necessary to embrace the delusional echo chambers of IRGC cheerleaders. FFS come on people.
