Carney's incredible secret sauce seems to be - say what the problem is, whose fault it is, what you will have to do about it and what it will cost.

I find it frustrating that the left has been characterized as more prone to scolding when the right’s entire culture is built on an openly insidious kind of scolding

once again: much like Reform UK thinking that its base is 30 year old young workers, the city-dwelling working young mother is almost assuredly a strong democrat, even the religious one

guys i have good news elon's gonna die of a treatable disease, steve jobs and scott adams style he's going to make his Robot Son come up with a diagnosis and treatment plan, only finally consenting to go to a doctor when it's too late

The decline of right wing cultural production is just due to the fact that they don’t like culture, they like the signifiers of culture, ie “classic sculpture means white people are better.” They don’t like art at all except for this purpose. They don’t even like the nerd stuff they whine about

2026 basically

They found a Gaudí!

Also, I assume it's her married name and these people aren't the type who'd woo each other with songs by the Turtles?

Pronounced something like Knees-ith, by any chance?

Fuck off.

The more I think about the DC press slagging AOC for a lack of FP depth while Donald Trump is President, twice, is making me angry enough to explode. The fuck is wrong with the journalists that they're like this

Just talked in class about the role local chambers played in supporting school desegregation because white resistance hurt their bottom line. As a leader of Atlanta's CoC said, they weren't "a bunch of do-gooders." They were "hard-headed businessmen who know you can't sell peanuts at a funeral."

How it works.

They are all a bunch of insecure dweebs who are shaped by college cliques and the instinct to be contrarian. Also getting into the right parties.

everyday racism is crude, vulgar, and ugly. The _baroque_ racism indulged in by everyone from groypers to jet-setters is something you need to wash your eyes out after reading

Getting increasingly irritated by people describing Reform as appealing to "working class voters" when every bit of polling suggests that's conflating low income and working class and what's actually happening is that pensioners are voting for them.

www.espncricinfo.com/series/icc-m.... Namibia lose by 102 runs to Pakistan missing its frontline quicks. Only two batsmen into double figures. Not even sundries. Playing the spinners badly.

the "left" broadly advocated for open access community owned gigabit fiber networks while the right coddled monopoly access to the detriment of progress and affordability for four decades

Deplorable state of U.S. media on display here, deliberately misleading the public. You can literally type into Google the same question @aoc.bsky.social was asked and the AI will give you her same answer because "strategic ambiguity" has been official U.S. policy her whole life.

They do not want AOC to win and see this as an opportunity to knife her

It is sad that British MPs' day-to-day job is a combination of social work and local government administration, as opposed to executive oversight and legislation. I don't know how this can be reversed, but the expectations it creates are bad for democracy, representation and political selection.

worst thing about uni students using AI for essays is that they don't even seem to be doing it so they can spend more time in the club, I'd have marginally more respect for them if their goal was to maximise their partying time, what are they even doing with the time AI frees up for them

Far Side

OCEANS ARE NOW BATTLEFIELDS

www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazin... Oh yes, BBC, you'll publish an article about it, but when I try to pitch my flatshare sitcom to you, you call it "ahistorical," "offensive," "a waste of time," and "how did you even get into my office so early? Have you been here all night?"

Wednesday

It came out to 7 minutes 30 seconds of unskippable ads for a 45 minute episode of TV. For reference, ACMA’s commercial TV code of conduct limits networks to 13 minutes of advertising per hour of broadcasting — and you don’t have to pay a monthly fee for the privilege.

Everything's coming up Finnegan's Wake!

If AOC makes a real run for the white house, the amount of misogyny in the air is going to be enough to give the whole country cognitive damage

"Noem verbally instructed the Acting Commandant of the Coast Guard, Admiral Kevin Lunday, to pull the plane off the search-and-rescue mission so it would not miss the migrant flight as part of the DHS’s so-called Alien Expulsion Operations" www.rawstory.com/kristi-noem-...

Watch out where the Huskies go, And don't you eat that golden snow.

When I look back on all the crap I learnt in High school, It's a wonder I can think at all. But my life of education hasn't hurt me none; I can read the writing on the wall.

In an open letter, 14 former international captains have urged the Pakistan government to ensure that Imran Khan receives "immediate, adequate and ongoing medical attention" for his health issues

17.02.1943|Anton Thumann became the prisoner camp commander (Schutzhaftlagerführer) at #Majdanek, taking one of the most important positions in the garrison hierarchy. In the survivors’ accounts he was described as one of the most merciless, brutal, and cruel SS-man in the camp.

Well now, would you look at that? A massive study of NEARLY 300,000 people in the United States found that receiving an updated 2024-2025 mRNA COVID-19 vaccine REDUCED people’s risk of SEVERE disease AND death in ALL age groups, REGARDLESS of immunity from prior infection or vaccination.

In the Viktor Orban method of democratic backsliding, the state forced over 90% of media into the control of political allies. Opposition parties exist, but few hear them. Orban was a featured speaker at CPAC, including one where Americans went to Budapest, and is often praised by Trump officials.

Republicans are successfully building out Orban's state media model here in the states. It's really not very subtle.

Red hot pokers come to mind.

I often think about the fact that if the FBI et al had not killed Fred Hampton, he would be 78 today. Younger than Jesse Jackson was. Must have felt strange to outlive many of your contemporaries by decades.

The Rev. Jesse Jackson, who became the leading voice of Black American aspirations after the assassination of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. and was the first African American to gain significant traction as a presidential candidate, died Tuesday.

Jesse Jackson, civil rights icon, dies aged 84

Isn't this one of the oldest tricks in... possibly before books?

Ark! The Herald Angels sing.

Honestly. The state of this.

'the company that maintains my boyfriend's AI persona has jacked up the price ten-fold' is pretty classic cyberpunk; that the persona or the relationship never meaningfully existed in the first place is a level of bitter irony that might be too much even for an often ironic genre.
