Have just learned that as of yesterday, montana now has two statewide officials who have assaulted someone at a press event

This is I think the purest distillation of how class in america almost never refers to the material conditions of someone’s life lol

WTI breaches $90

We should never ever forget why they did it

Have a splitting headache at 9 AM. Forgot that this is why I don’t drink coffee.

I don’t take my coffee with milk but I do sometimes eat cereal while drinking coffee and that’s basically the same thing

the UK loves having a small group of breakaway MPs more than anything else in the world

Not sure if I briefly fell through a time portal, but I met someone (Jewish) yesterday who ranted to me about the evils of the rabbinate and how only the Kohanim have the right to be religious leaders

"Crying about the loss of the middle ground is already becoming cliche, dated, and frankly a little embarrassing" my latest for @liberalcurrents.com www.liberalcurrents.com/it-wasnt-fas...

This puts us one step closer to a youtuber being in congress btw

In short, China is trapped in the US whirlpool currently sucking the entire world system down to the depths, without a clear way to shift and break away.

Given that both words are stolen from AAVE anyways, there is probably an alternate universe where fascists call each other woke instead of based

My favorite part of having a job interview is definitely the part where i hyperfixate on if my voice passes well enough and if there’s any invisible stray hairs on my face. This is good to me, actually

People keep saying that surely now Trump has alienated Europe. But much like the US relationship with Israel, it's not rational. Europe's primary civilizational value is Islamophobia, far more important to them than their own sovereignty or economic security.

Found a guy on instagram who posts what I can only describe as “Toronto ragebait”

Wow, you’re telling me an antisemite might not have considered that his actions would offend jewish people? That’s wild, who could’ve possibly considered that

Maybe I'm kirking out but the unreality of this war is wild. People posting that thousands of Kurds are fighting the regime for the CIA, while the Kurds say it isn't happening. Every video of a missile attack I just have to assume is AI whether it is real or not.

imagining new and exciting types of lesbians rn. How about instead of stone butch and high fem it's stone fem and high butch

All I want is some recompense for my friends who had their lives ruined for saying this in 2023-24

as-is it's a game about how Borders Suck that comes off as largely ignorant of the fact that border security employees do not actually need an excuse to humiliate or imprison people

i've never once in my life thought that straight trans men have it "easier" than me. idk how braindead you'd have to be, as a trans person, to not understand that all trans people, heterosexual, gay, lesbian, bisexual, are subjugated on the basis of our sexuality

I've seen enough: Steve Toth (R) defeats Rep. Dan Crenshaw (R) in the #TX02 GOP primary.

New voice training phrase just dropped

Right now Jasmine's best hope comes from keeping down the margins in Bexar County we literally have another Crockett making their last stand at the Alamo

It’s not giving revolutionary religious movement. It’s giving cult. It’s also pretty obvious that Paul is a scammer. But I’ll give credit where credit is due—John and Revelations were pretty solid.

I can’t think back on a time when I’ve ever been prouder to be a Republican, Marco,” Bush said, before recounting the tale of “Chang.” www.politico.com/magazine/sto...

The idea that people online would be less toxic if they had to use their real names is so funny. Have you been on facebook? Like ever? Will take you less than five minutes to find Edith Jones, 72, in Branson Missouri proudly advocating for genocide under her government name

If you're so cis, question you're gender, bro. What's the worst that could happen, bro. What are you so scared of, bro? It's just questioning your gender, bro.

I’ve become negatively polarized into thinking they should trans the effeminate boys tbh. Fuck it, who cares

we hate you because you dont believe in anything that wasn't written in the past week by someone paid to tell you what to think

When we talk about Baby Boomers not getting off the stage: In 1997, the US president was born in 1946. In 2007, the US president was born in 1946. In 2017, the US president was born in 1946. And next year in 2027? The US president will have been born in 1946.

Becoming a proto indo european neopagan. Sacrificing my *h₁éḱwos to *Dyḗus ph₂tḗr rn

One thing that's really joker-fied me is seeing how "women's bodies are not inherently sexual" has become a position so fringe that quite a lot of people (including women!) never even consider it in the first place, let alone internalize it

"teacher discourse" is the advanced version of that meme about how anarchists want to abolish bedtime lmao

you are not prepared for the soundtrack

We're smokin' that Argentinian himejoshi catgirl shit out of a puma bone pipe at an altitude of 12,600 feet, concurrent with the third Dynasty of Ur, you stupid shit.

Might An LLM Be Conscious: A Short Skeetfest tldr: it depends on what you mean by "conscious", whether you think that's even possible, what you think you'd test for. some of this is pedantic and some of it is just weird

Guys remember Turkish grunge youtu.be/XGWQXjyUip8?...

You people are insane. The U.S. government did it because it wanted to do it, not because Israel manipulated us to do it. You are absolutely delusional and normalizing terrible views that could lead to terrible things.

"Advocacy groups" is the giveaway here. We have former NYT staff detailing the deep transphobic bent at an editorial level. We have dozens of examples of articles with scientifically unsound sourcing. We have court cases citing said articles as grounds for stripping rights. But yeah. Demented.

Wait, were trump supporters under the impression that we *don’t* hate them?

0 econ classes: the economy is fake 2 econ classes: actually the invisible hand provides for the efficient allocation of- 10 econ classes: the economy is fake

SAVOIR FAIRE - But Savvy's got your back. Savvy's going to book you a charter flight with eighty birds of prey on board, to a land where the streets are paved with krugerrands and fixed-income securities. You'll try again, but this time with *money*. You'll win her back.

Easily the funniest thing about trump is his utter contempt for veterans lol

nyt is 4chan for ppl who think talking about how cool war is makes them better than people who post images of dead bodies and talk about how cool war is

Just finished the Behind the Bastards episodes on the impact of Jeffrey Epstein. And like a takeway is that he started funding anti-trans research because he allegedly SA'd a trans girl (she was 16 at the time) who turned around and sued his ass for it and he was mad that she sued him.

actually not an unknown source, they redacted the email in some places but when epstein replied it showed "trivers" in the to header which is probably known epstein associate, biologist robert trivers

I spent 6 years of my life writing a PhD about UK policy in Persian Gulf in the 1960s, including the role of the Anglo-American alliance. Key to the Persian Gulf policy of both countries: AVOID a power vacuum under any circumstances &keep Iran&Saudi Arabia from attacking the smaller Gulf States.

Solomon Ilori: African High Life (1963) Well-recorded West African albums were rare in the early '60s. Ilori & his international crew had to go to Blue Note, where they refused to accede to Eurocentric demands like having your sax pay attention to anyone. Ilori's pennywhistle is just as expressive.
