Not the sort of letter committed to paper by a well man. "Considering your Country decided not to give me the Nobel Peace Prize for having stopped 8 Wars PLUS, I no longer feel an obligation to think purely of Peace"

Time to shape your eyebrows, girls.

The Prime Minister has come up with a very measured, diplomatic response and I think that if the President could remember who Starmer was, he would respect that.

I really don't think the people doing politics, and this ranges from the level of Senators and governors down to like the people following elections on social media, understand that the country that existed a year ago simply does not exist anymore. It is not coming Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

He's angrier with Polanski for explicitly calling out the situation on BlueSky than he is with Trump for attempting to annex Greenland via a couple of Truth Social posts.

Folks, if you know any Minnesotan, you'll know that many of us will bring up Minnesota and Minnesota things at every possible opportunity. If we manage to ride out military occupation, we're going to be absolutely insufferable for the next 20 years. Think about what you're risking here.

being a slut is more of a logistics thing than a mindset thing

You are not imagining it!!! Agents have been more aggressive and more emboldened, quicker to fly into a rage. And the community being more organized/prepared to confront them bc they've seen this play out in other cities = feds know they have even less time to execute a kidnapping

To those saying “nuh-uh, ICE picked Minneapolis because they WANTED the city to rise up as one against them” - no, pretty sure they expected a scattering of blue-haired protesters they could easily crush for content + tacit support from other whites, not the organized total resistance they got.

Fun fact: Black Panthers doing perfectly legal (at the time) open carry in CA in the 1960s spurred then-Governor Reagan to sign the Mulford Act into law in 1965, prohibiting it. These people have no consistent politics outside a desperate, leering need to keep hold of power and privilege.

The Newsom thing is because they think the pendulum effect will give the election to literally any Dem, which may well be true, so they want to make sure the nominee is as far-Right and ineffective as possible.

It’s ironic that they’re like “if we do ethnic cleansing we’ll have a high trust neighborly society” and then Minneapolis is literally doing high trust neighborly society and they’re like nooooo

WHO CHOSE THIS BGM???? I'M SERIOUS PLEASE CLICK THE VIDEO AND LISTEN TO THIS BACKING TRACK I'M CRYING FROM LAUGHTER

A follow-up reminder, for folks who might have forgotten how virulently racist Richard Hanania is on the main.

tbh i should've actually said "unlimited bodily autonomy" for #3 because trans rights are neatly encapsulated in that. the fundamental question at the heart of many issues (trans rights, homophobia, abortion, vaccines, etc) is whether or not you are allowed to have control over your own body.

Zack’s in Sheffield

Thousands left without water in the middle of winter in the UK. And those same people are now facing a massive bill hike. Privatised water is a scam. I've written to the Prime Minister asking why he won't end this rip off and bring failing South East Water into public hands.

Amazing speech from @zackpolanski.bsky.social in Sheffield just now - no notes whatsoever - on the politics of care - inspirational 💚 #VoteGreen @greenparty.org.uk @sheffgreenparty.bsky.social

At Victoria Hall Sheffield to hear @zackpolanski.bsky.social speak.

Loved every minute of the Yorkshire tour - thanks to everyone who showed up this weekend! And love this picture that Anna, age 7, gave me as I was leaving 💚

it’s one of those fundamentally cursed hospitality violations that you read about in ancient texts

It's wild, really, but he does seem to have actually thought Denmark would just sell him Greenland.

At core this is my problem with every single "you need to learn to respect populist right voters" article: I do not, I consider their worldview subhuman and repulsive

yeah i'll vote for gavin newsom under extreme circumstances. like say we're on a life raft and need to decide who to eat first. or our plane crashes in the andes and we're figuring out who to barbecue for dinner. or if we're wagon-bound and stranded in a frozen pass over the sierra nevada mountains,

pretty sure he meant the other thing, grok, but very cool that those are your two things

BlueSky labelled my blog post about rejecting men’s critique of my body ‘adult content’ 🙄 (Thx for sharing though @katesloan.com!)

Imagine doing a PhD in electricity, just so you knew how to blow up nuclear power plants and heavy water-producing facilities. “I learned from them very early that what one does with Nazis is kill them... I am not a pacifist.” A profile in absolute courage.

Holy shit what a man

Holy hell, what an obituary

wikipedia turns 25 today! the last unenshittified major website! backbone of online info! triumph of humanity! powered by urge of unpaid randos to correct each other! somehow mostly reliable! "good thing wikipedia works in practice, because it sure doesn't work in theory" - old wiki adage

before I go to bed, I feel obliged to emphasize how tonight’s rampage in northern Minneapolis was, by no exaggeration, a glorified episode of klan night riding by federally deputized groypers. Yes, DHS always had these people but the difference now is that they’re in charge and with a $175B budget.

i find the response to this to be deeply troubling. there's aspects of this that beth can be fairly criticized for (now-removed transwrecks label; clickbaiting a paid review), but earnest good-faith negative criticism is a *requirement* of a healthy scene. beth is NOT a mouthpiece. she is a CRITIC.

Great piece, particularly this passage:

I can't get over dying laughing at this AI generated deck lmfao

Dilbert creator Scott Adams 'Completely Dead' at press time. Sources close to the cartoonist confirm he 'shit so hard he launched himself into the wall and died instantly'

the democrats are right we should focus on kitchen table issues. for example there is a guy at my kitchen table who wants to shoot me in the face with a gun

it is 2016. the cops have murdered someone in minneapolis. the dem faithfuls say they just need more training. it is 2020. the cops have murdered someone in minneapolis. the dem faithfuls say they just need more training. it is 2026. the cops have murdered someone in minneapolis. the dem faithf

living in a world where the only two jobs are “gambling” and “murder” isn’t nearly as cool as Cowboy Bebop made it out to be

depressing but this increasingly just the lesson for every single servant and every aspect of american life

Trans+ direct action group @bashback.bsky.social ‘hacked' the Free Speech Union website and published what it claims is a list of major donors to an organisation known for anti-trans positions.

Will focusing his endless font of energy when it comes to being annoying towards ICE totally rules and I tip my cap. Someone buy that man a tank of gas

there is no coming back from this without prosecutions up and down the entire chain of command

The scylla of everyone treating every news story like they just started paying attention and acting naive and brand new The charybdis of pointing out nothing is new and acting jaded and above it to the point of denying new contexts and realities to stay safely embedded in left ideologies

I love Wanda Sykes for this. I have zero time for Gervais for the obvious reasons. The many, many obvious reasons.
