Kiss Me Deadly has one of the best opening scenes ever.

CNN spoke to Trump voters to see how they view #DonaldTrump one year into his second term. This MAGA farmer knows SOMEONE dropped the ball in Washington he just doesn’t know WHO??? 🐆

We don't hate Jews or Judaism, Greg. We hate genocide. We hate apartheid. We hate ethnic cleansing. We hate racism. We hate war. We hate terrorism. We hate settler-colonialism. We hate all these things that Israel was and is guilty of yesterday, today and tomorrow. We want Israel to stop.

Morandi morning

“Do I support mass deportations? Why would I do that? These people are contributing to 🇺🇸.” 🫡 @DemSocialists just reminded us about this old Nick Shirley clip where he stopped the wrong lady and got cooked

One more reason to never go to the UK for those with dual citizenship.

German Jews were citizens of Germany at the start of 1933. By the end of 1933, the Nazis had removed citizenship from naturalized citizen Jews. In 1935, all German Jews were fully stripped of their German citizenship. Citizenship under dictatorships is contingent for targeted minorities.

I feel like large parts of the commentariat have memory-holed that the Christchurch terrorist was Australian and was radicalised in Australia.

Fifty-five years ago tonight, the legendary revival of No, No, Nanette opened on Broadway at the 46th Street Theatre. Ruby Keeler, a sixty-something-year-old widowed grandmother in 1971, had a career comeback for the ages.

Let's remember that MLK was assassinated while in Memphis supporting African American sanitation workers who were, despite CNN's weird definition, actually members of the working class.

If you, like me, had an Italian grandma and were never able to figure out why your lasagna/gnocchi/meatballs didn't quite taste like hers: It's probably nutmeg. Nutmeg is ubiquitous in old school diasporic Italian home cooking but has vanished from most modern recipes.

Top of the charts at my house today

Pew Research Institute (2023): • Red State Texas has about 2.1 million undocumented immigrants • Red State Florida has 1.6 M undocumented immigrants • Blue State Minnesota has 130,000. And yet only Minnesota is being occupied by masked thugs over "immigration." It's *not* about immigration.

We have done up the bedroom as we planned to do.

The very stable geniuses of British politics should not be allowed to forget their sycophancy towards Trump.

Deutsche Bank here with the good stuff. Game on.

Hob Rarris

It's now time to thank the Special Envoy into Anti-semitism for her time, and allow her to pursue other opportunities. The project she was disgracefully pursuing has now essentially collapsed when confronted with the first test of the body politic.

Ceiling of mosque in Qom, Iran

this is the sickest shit ive ever seen

imploring people to understand every news story about the CFA is a trojan horse for Victorian liberal party bullshit. Is everyone in the CFA a liberal stooge? No, thats a stupid assertion. Is the CFA a fundamentally political organisation of the liberal party? Yes, this is objective fact.

Will having brought a deffo suit be a condition for joining the Liberal Party in future?

I’ve been feeling despondent about the state of our country but this inspires me to print some copies and post them up in my neighborhood!

When did parliamentary negotiations become 'an embarrassing backdown'?

It's a fucking lie. The "free speech crisis" was just a collection of duct-taped-together anecdotes plucked from obscurity by right-wing media. These people were never against "conformity" or "censorship," they just wanted to promote conservative ideas and crush liberal ones.

Snail helm is go

What's the war time plan and war time strategy by the Democrats? Has appeasement and civility and being nice to Trump worked? Shall we continue funding ICE and DHS and this government? Why?

centuries of racists making people they hate look cool as fuck

Here's the data showing that Victorian policies to deter investors have reduced rents. Here are all the real estate industry bullshitters to try to claim that what would really help is more investors (like the other states with rents continuing to skyrocket). www.sbs.com.au/news/article...

this is a rollicking great read it's a story of a bunch of tenured idealists who believed that they were building a university dedicated to free speech and free inquiry, but then lost control of their project to... the right-wing megadonors who funded the university www.politico.com/news/magazin...

This submission by David Brophy is hilarious and demonstrates how poorly drafted the hate speech bill is

A goodly prize, fit for the devil’s grace!

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.

Any time I walk into someone's apartment or house for the first time, I freeze right after entering, get very serious, and finally say in a hushed voice "Something unspeakable happened here."

“Verbally assaulted” lmao But I was told that words were not violence?

they can shoot people in the street without consequence but god forbid anyone be rude to them
