Zoe Weissman survived the Parkland shooting. Now she’s at Brown, and it happened again. “Honestly, I'm really angry that this is happening to me all over again, and I'm just in shock.” We’re failing our kids. A gun-sick nation. 🇺🇸 www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article...

Time Person of the Year? Ahmed al Ahmed. Courage in the face of immediate danger to his pwn life. A man who selflessly put his life at risk and saved many others in doing so. The definition of a hero, an example to us all. #hero #ahmedalahmed #Sydney #Bondi #humanity

The man who risked his life to disarm the second shooter was #AhmedalAhmed, a shop owner who is Muslim. Say his name @NewYorkTimes

To stop a bad man with a gun you need a great guy called Ahmed

There are very few real heroes. Let’s celebrate them when we come across one. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Instead of responding only with thoughts and prayers, Australia will respond with laws and regulations. Because, unlike the United States, it values the lives of its citizens over any sick adulation of firearms. The 1996 Port Arthur massacre led to immediate, sweeping, bipartisan gun law reforms.

Apropos massakren på Bondi Beach. Det at noen våger å ta våpnet fra en terrorist er så modig at det nesten ikke er til å tro. Men samtidig er det eneste ansvarlige å gjøre om man plutselig har et våpen i hendene under et terrorangrep å skyte tilbake mot terroristene. Man skal ikke vise noen nåde.

When Charlie Kirk was shot, he did a full oval office address. When it's college kids on campus it's "things can happen." What a sociopath.

Nyhetene om at norske drone-eiere kan oppleve at deres droner blir rekvirert av Forsvaret har samme mangel på logikk. Droner i krig er forbruksmateriell på nivå med stridsrasjoner. Derfor er det sentrale om sivilsamfunnet at man kan bygge opp produksjonskapasitet.

Europeans stopped traveling to the US as tourists and stopped buying Teslas.

Som 99,9% har handlet om min personlige moral og vilje, og 0,1% om arbeidsgivers ansvar for tilrettelegging selv om det er ganske åpenbart hva som var mest tungtveiende for min egen del. Og at ingen snakker om at noen jobber er helsefremmende, men noen jobber er faktisk ikke det i det hele tatt

conservatives now have become the “umm is there a sportsball on?” demographic. complete soy right takeover

RFK Jr. is a *cartoon* villain

Movie villain: my people were oppressed for millennia by yours and this is the only way restore equity with one burst of extreme violence followed by thousands of years of peace Real life villain: I love disease and rape

The Geneva convention is very clear about torture but surprisingly silent about group chats

You may have heard a bizarre news item a couple of weeks ago about a young woman who crashed the rare plant market by cloning plants in her basement. I was intrigued enough to go looking for her YouTube channel. Suffice to say I've found a new hero www.youtube.com/watch?v=7dk3...

de må spinne randiske myter om seg selv og sin klasse for å rettferdiggjøre sin eksistens som er bygget på egoisme, utnyttelse og urettferdighet

The actual answer here is not “elitism” but less firearm ownership in the Northeast compared to other parts of the country.

As Trump's power wanes, he will become more dangerous. Even though he's losing his political power, he will retain the powers of the presidency.

Me running into my brigade’s TOC and ordering a frontal assault because I have my entire life savings riding on seizing a tree line by midnight:

In a better world, where humanity as a civilization learned how to be more just, moral, principled and kind, there are people whose full time job is to chase those who gamble and facilitate gambling on war and beat them with heavy rust-covered chains

The UAE has been doing shady shit like this across half a dozen countries for literally a decade wtf are you surprised about Samantha

The Trump Family is watching the buffet wind down and is at the dessert table stuffing their pockets before the lights go out… because they’ll steal the goddamn lights. www.rawstory.com/trump-habba/

When the government demands your voter file, it’s no longer auditing democracy — it’s inventorying citizens.

Weekend reading: Trumpism Is at War with the Idea of a Citizenry of Equals The regime’s latest racist fury is tied to the Right’s much broader attempt to redefine citizenship and national identity in service of an exclusionary white nationalist vision. My new piece:

I mean, I wasn’t gonna go to the U.S. for so many reasons, but holy fuck, now I’m never going.

i dunno. they love "europe" but what they mean is white supremacy

Dick Van Dyke turns 100 years old

One thing you will never think after reading a great book or listening to a great album or seeing a great piece of art is, “I’m really glad this person remained cautious while they were making this and guarded against being perceived as weird.”

China has installed three times more wind power than the US. It’s weird that Trump claims the Chinese build very little wind power. China wants to be less reliable on foreign energy. That’s a smart move.

After seeing this map by @geodatarankings you will probably (like me) want to read the lyrics of the Polish National Anthem. Here is the text: buff.ly/A12qU5m

Norwegians in Spain and Spaniards in Norway must feel sooo out of place.

WH wants evidence of its pressure campaign scrubbed. But it's too late - Indiana Lieutenant Governor Micah Beckwith; the internet is forever.

All those private meetings between Witkoff and Putin are really paying off for the Kremlin.

Now that Amazon has total creative control over the James Bond movie franchise I imagine the next Bond super-villain we'll see is some guy who is trying to organize a labor union at an Amazon fulfillment center.

🗽Robert Reich Dec 12, 2025 Let me make it clear I’m against Netflix acquiring Warner Bros Discovery. That would concentrate corporate power in ways that harm consumers and distort American politics. But Paramount’s acquisition of Warner Bros would be worse. robertreich.substack.com/p/what-happe...

We don't need a "liberal Joe rogan" we need a "liberal thinker welfare state" to match the conservatives commentary welfare state
