Israel is banning the Nobel Peace Prize-winning humanitarian organization Doctors Without Borders from operating in Gaza starting on New Year’s Day. www.nbcnews.com/world/israel...

Is “seeking” a typo or just a statement of fact under RFK Jr.?

Trump will eventually try to tear down and replace the Kennedy Center. This is what they do when they feel unappreciated and rejected by those whose approval they crave. Like what they did to CBS News and Twitter. The child who is not embraced by the village will burn it down to feel its warmth.

2025 has been an incredible year for rugby, and as it comes to a close it's time for our eighth-annual Team of the Year. Last year, Antoine Dupont wore nine and Marcus Smith sat at 10- Who makes our best halfbacks of 2025? youtu.be/mWaWzxsDssU

Watching my daughter grow up without evangelical religious trauma is breathtaking. She’s not scared of a hell, or a god who would condemn her to everlasting torture, and she’s never heard of a rapture. Growing up without that fear really does something good to a young person.

how all youtube ads sound to me

After Texas banned abortion in cases where embryonic cardiac activity could be detected, Texas saw a 12.9% increase in infant deaths, compared with 1.8% for the rest of the country.

The damage these two have done to the world, and to their own countries, is catastrophic

This, combined with "vice signaling" (taking pride in antisocial behavior) has given us the reign of the Stupid Asshole, something most people are against, but can only be remedied if we're not too polite to talk about it

All these bites of misinformation coagulate into a giant grievance-oriented mindset that cannot really ever be undone. I have family so far down the grievance rabbit hole, almost every single conversation is fraught. It’s so sad

Most underrated Biden admin mistake was bailing out Silicon Valley Bank. SVB bet big on low interest rates and lost. Rich tech VCs who put too many eggs in that basket generated a bank run, then called for govt money. Got their bailout, helped elect Trump, and now reaping rewards from corruption.

🙁

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has stated that the 1918 flu pandemic was caused by a lab virus from vaccine research, a defective influenza vaccine. Let’s analyze what a lie this is. First, in 1918, 107 years ago, virology was in its infancy

This makes the app a lot more tolerable but following more people than you normally would is key

Whoa! Trump's ICE Nazis getting brutally pelted with snowballs by New Yorkers is fucking epic. 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣👇

Good interview in the paper, this. I think Sadiq is right: London 'needs' to be less successful than it is for a bunch of political arguments here in the UK to work, hence the fictions being invented about it:

Chatted to my great uncle yesterday – a northern, working-class guy, not that political. I told him my job involved exposing Farage. His first question was: “who funds him?” Investigations into Farage’s donors can have a major impact on Reform’s support – as this research has already shown 👇

Actually, it's exactly the duty of an artist. To take a stand through their art.

Be reminded. We have a rapist in the WH. All those in Congress, his Cabinet, & the DOJ who attempt to cover his crimes is complicit. They all deserve consequences. And, most importantly, the survivors deserve justice.

Ahh Christmas, a time to reunite with the family and blame the wokes for all the world’s wrongs 🤎

Each Christmas my husband makes me a year in review made up of our no-context WhatsApp photos to each other, and it is my favourite thing ever. No evidence of our holiday, obviously, but local roadworks were well represented.

☕️📖 Nothing like spending a cozy morning curled up under a blanket with a cup of tea and a book on my lap to keep me company while I endlessly scroll my phone

Everything changed with the 2010 election. In a historic realignment, the GOP won a majority of governorships and state legislative chambers. Now, Republican-dominated states are pushing out young professionals and casting college graduates as the enemy. Published November 2023. trib.al/RPzl4Rw

A mitigation strategy for nations hit by US tariffs: no longer allow companies monopoly power on repairs and apps. Apple, Tesla, John Deere could lose billions - and consumers around the world would gain. Cory Doctorow explains: www.wired.com/story/us-tra...

Fuck you people. Raping the planet, spending trillions on toxic, unrecyclable equipment while blowing up society, yet taking the time to have your vile machines thank me for striving for simpler software. Just fuck you. Fuck you all. I can't remember the last time I was this angry.

Jimmy Kimmel delivered a Christmas message to viewers in the U.K., slamming Donald Trump's king-like behavior and begging them not to give up on the U.S. www.rollingstone.com/tv-movies/tv...

Merry Christmas from Africa, Bluesky! It should be baking hot but it’s instead overcast, wet and cold. I’ll take it! 🎅🌦️

Just retweeting Nazi propaganda on Christmas Eve instead of, ironically, spending time with his family

This is an absolutely brutal journalism prediction for 2026. And it might be right.

Going thru the world filtering your negative outcomes thru one ideological lens, while failing to see the many who continue to experience negative outcomes due to discrimination by those who nod along in agreement with your rhetoric

Well this is awkward🙃🫣

Big AI companies courted controversy by scraping wide swaths of the public internet. With the rise of AI agents, the next data grab is far more private. www.wired.com/story/expire...

‘Splains a lot…

I’ll be watching!

Good @telliotter.bsky.social story on the DOGEification of the government. www.wired.com/story/expire...

The Olivia Nuzzi story and the Bari Weiss at CBS story are the same story, which is that the upper echelons of legacy media are absolutely rife with people who worship power and don't feel burdened by any sense of responsibility to their profession or the public.

Bill Clinton releasing a statement saying 'release the Epstein files, you cowards' was not on my bingo list.

White men are 30% of the population. They are also: - 98% of presidents - 90% of CEOs - 90% of billionaires - 80% of Congress Forever oppressed.
