I get these Effective Altruism programs from my university's centre every now and then and boy are they terrible.

An Israeli man in a press helmet was seen laughing and smashing eggs on the ground during an Israeli raid in occupied East Jerusalem, during which 13,000 eggs were reportedly destroyed and several Palestinians detained.

What I love about movies is that you get accidental genius in ways other mediums can't. Some movies are such a mess that they end up deconstructing whole genres by accident. The "so bad it's good" requires that bad script, terrible direction and unexpected acting mesh in ways no one can replicate.

They will blame the left when the Democrat candidates don't do as well beacuse messaging will be all like "we need to spend millions in proper ICE training, not abolishing another form of authoritarian law enforcement".

If you ever wonder how reactionary "centrism" might sound like.

If a lizard were wearing a human mask, but you know, nothing cool about it. It's just one huge-ass dork, lizard on ketamine. The uncoolest and most boring lizard you can think off, on drugs.

Quite a development in the philosophy of history. It turns out history is to be merely observed, and not be learned from. @historians.org. Maybe this Israel is not old enough to be considered history.

Thoroughly enjoying Guards! Guards! in audiobook format. The hype is real, Prachett is as fun and witty as promised. And the voice acting is on point.

If Adam Smith were alive he would just fire bomb Wall Street.

Israeli forces raided a Palestinian wedding ceremony in occupied East Jerusalem, firing live ammunition and stun grenades at attendees. Several men, including the groom, were detained.

These kind of unhinged things happen when you award the peace prize to someone who supports genocide, cheers on the bombings of her compatriots, and openly calls for foreign armed intervention.

I've wanted to read the Discworld series over the last 10, but I've never had the time to embark myself on such a project. I've finally compromised on the audiobooks (Guards! first) while at the gym. Funny as expected, but I've run into the (hilarious) problem of decoding thick, drunken accents.

I hear this is the moderate solution regarding ICE.

Seems like the US and the EU are heading for a messy divorce over the US golden shower with Russia. Curiously enough, they might find an amicable solution for the shared custody of their horrible grown up child, Israel.

"Who would've though weakness could be a greater source of power than strength?" -in "Guards! Guards!" by Terry Pratchett

Fools! Have they not played Risk? Greenland is the key! You take Greenland, wait for the continent bonus, then Iceland, and then you invade England!

I envy so much those people that read 50 books in a year. I read a 200 page novel in 3 days over the break. Yet here I am now, still struggling with a 20 page paper over the last 2 days.

I went to Palestine to see the realities of apartheid and settler violence up close. In Hebron, the cruelty is clear as day. Here are some of the shocking realities I experienced:

There we go. That there’s a headline.

The obsession the right has with gender and sexuality confusing kids is so weird. It's one of the easiest things to explain your kids. Have you tried explaining batteries? Airplanes? Causality? Fucking death?

The BBC bans its journalists from stating that Maduro was "kidnapped" 👇 www.owenjones.news/p/exclusive-...

I called a joke my brother made regarding torture stupid and cruel and then everyone in the chat was saying I was intolerant, humourless, canceling, etc.

Democrats have nothing to say because they have voted to give billions illegaly to support a genocide This is the most they can muster. A whimping demand.

I'm asking americans to stop embarrasing themselves. To go and say this shit non ironically...

It's crazy how the EU and the US have chosen to destroy any pretence of caring about international law.

"AI Smog" we should call it. A noxious substance that pollutes the internet, makes life worse for everyone, it's there either you want it or not, and we have to get used to in the name of business and growth.

First two bags out of 10

Every so often, I see a very tasty looking recipe for broccoly. But ye be warned, those are traps. Broccoli is best RAW. Anything else ruins it.

3:40 am. Alaram was set for 6am. My oldest chose to wet the bed the in the lovely AirBnb the last night of the trip, before a 9:20 flight. So here I am. Washing pajamas, sheets, and hoping everything will sort of dry by tomorrow afternoon.

My guess is that yes. He seems to do everything over spite or pride. I believe that he decided to run for president when Seth Meyers made fun of him during the WH dinner. And anyone willing to praise him gets to do anything they want.

I would say they are being on the nose evil, but they are just probably too stupid for that. The last 5 years have shown me evil is just too stupid for self-awareness.

Going to the OG Legoland (Billund, Denmark) tomorrow and my wife and I are giddy like only a couple of 36 yo nerds can be. My kids are also very exited, but screw them.

I know Europeans, particularly the british, have a lot to ansser for, but eating boiled brussel during the holidays as punishment is helping no one.

Clinton be like: "Every time I went to the island, Donald was already there and you could tell they had been partying for a while. And then he would also stay a few days after I leave. Kind of rude."

Liberalism was just keeping the seat warm for fascism.

The Odyssey trailer disappoints. Truly 0 effort with the casting. Nolan chose all pasty white actors for the main cast. Matt Damon as Odysseus? Tom Holland as (I assume) Telemachus? And Anne Hathaway as Penelope. Fucking Damon? Really?

On the other hand, had we followed Herbert's ficcion as a guiding post, we would already have a drug that mixes Adderall with cocaine but 1000x more potent and effective. And nobody would even dare to talk about AI.

Loved this video. Ugliness as a power play. youtu.be/GvCmeuJyT9g?...

Being honest with myself, I'm 99% sure I'll get the Steam Machine once it comes out. It's just too convenient.

This is a good video for anybody interested in understanding the racism/colorism/classism mix in latinamerican countries and why the latin identity is extremely complicated and also pointless. youtu.be/hHe7OqgCs84?...

This is old school, priests-doing magic numbers, kind of idolatry. This is the Ishtar temple, rain dancers for Baal. This just needs drugs and this can become an Eleusinian mistery.

We had the same issue in Chile over what constitutes milk, all pushed by the farmer lobby. Absolutely ridiculous, specially because the bran NotCo, that specifically has a product name NotMilk, couldn't use it in the name.

I'm going to tell you why ya'll gingerbread cookies suck. They are too thick, soft, cakey. You want to go for thinness and crunchy, ginger goodness.

This is such an insane cleaning combination. How did we managed before this?

However...

The good thing about the aristocratic system is that you can immediately identify who's more likely to be substancially more inbred. And then put them in a position of power and influence.

The only reason Joe Pesci is not in more comedies is because Danny DeVito exists.

Can anyone tell me why The Ugly Duckling is still an acceptable children story? I can vibe with stories that have weird lessons, like Aesop's fables. But The Duckling? Screw it.
