Why is "temporary accommodation" more profitable? What decisions, large and small, have produced this state of affairs? Why has the state crashed the conditions where precarity is desirable because of the money it makes for landlords?

That's fairly standard for British nationalists ime. They often hate e.g. the Welsh language, for example. "British" to them is an English monoculture.

love when there's an article about how life is sustainable in the superheated waters surrounding a hydrothermal volcanic fissure on the ocean floor and then like six paragraphs in you find out the author's parents are chemosynthetic bacteria 🙄

When you put it like this, a $75 million bribe to Melania and gutting the Washington Post seems like a small price to pay.

Himmelskibet (A Trip to Mars), considered to be the first feature-length space film, was released 108 years ago today. "Inspired by Napoleon, the navy officer Avanti Planetaros endeavours to chart the cosmos and explore its strange planets." Glory to those who came before. 🖖 Watch it:

Happy birthday to this young man, and really to us all

God damn it, that numbnut motherfucking shitweasel is so fucking hellbent on trying to take over the world that he’s attempting to Trojan Horse Greenland with a fucking medical ship while fucking the citizens of the U.S. over on the medical care we fucking pay way too fucking much for.

tonya harding's crime was being too early. she'd be halfway to a house seat before she made it back to the states

does anyone know what Fox News segment or Turner Classic Movie was on tonight that convinced Trump that Greenland is having a medical emergency? Was it Balto? Was he watching 1995's Balto?

respect to the guy in the aew audience wearing the Autism 3:16 shirt

July 2026. new york is about to be hit with the 43rd winter storm of the season. mayor zohran mamdani knows he cannot reveal the existence of the epstein class weather machine no matter how much of the citizenry already suspects

watching what's happening to Pinterest feels like a glimpse at the immediate future for much of the internet. AI moderation knocking down posts, people unable to talk to human beings, a flood of AI content, and hand drawn posts mislabeled as AI

Ever had one of those moments when you think about the fact we have way too many companies who can only continue to grow by making their product objectively worse every chance they get? Or that when they finally run into a wall we are all going to be in the splash zone? Anyways a thread.

This is Ladybug 🐞 (RIP) who pawed at my boob, dislodging a deep tumor, allowing my cancer to be found relatively early in December 2020. I finish treatment (dog willingly) in May. She came to all my urgent care appointments and waited in the car.

eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, nor is it known unto the human heart, the magnitude of hate Pope Leo has for JD Vance specifically

also, all my prints are 30% off right now

The agents who murdered Good and Pretti have had lengthy careers. ICE (and CBP) are rotten to the core. The agents who murdered people less than a mile from my house have trained others and harmed others. Abolish ICE. Break up DHS. The agency isn’t even old enough to rent a car. End it.

“You're thinking of the $175 billion in tariff money all wrong. As if I had the money back in a safe. The money's not here. Your money's in the White House ballroom, the renaming of the Department of Defense, the $10 billion transfer to the Board of Peace, and a hundred other unauthorized actions.”

everyone loved the tech industry's free music and friendship machines of 20-30 years ago. it's unclear what could be causing people to feel the opposite about the industry's new racism and insanity machine

OMFG, I just googled my father, who died in 2018, and found the same AI slop site raising money in his name. Rage.

This 53 year old man who lived in my neighborhood w/no criminal record & who had been in the US for 30 years, was detained and thrown into a cold cell for days, caught pneumonia and COVID there and deported. He finally died. I am so angry. www.kptv.com/2026/02/21/n...

can i also [ DELETE THE WIFE ] ???

I am never going to get over the fact thar so many Americans died that corpses stacked up in nursing homes and hospital morgues, that refrigerator trucks had to be brought in for the overflow, and that the big takeaway from Important Pundits is there should have been *less* mitigation.

it's one of those amazing things about our planet where we have 14 mountains that are over 8K m including a some super famous for burying climbers in avalanches and by far the worst most dangerous weather you'll find on any mountain outside Antarctica is on this lil 6000 footer in New Hampshire, USA

When climbing it I started out in shorts and tee shirt. Finished in full rain gear - 36 degrees and 30 mph winds.

i love that you gave to wonder whether americans will have the gumption to throw out a bunch of bums who, after illegally imposing a new national sales tax on you for a year, imposed a new national sales tax on you because they're mad about being told the prior sales tax was illegal

Is this a ploy to stop us using FB groups for our own needs instead of the company's? Why make an "assistant" you can't control? Who in the love of mike thought elderly men in other countries would want to dress in Regency costume and drink tea in Cleveland?? /rant

I set it to 5 friends min, existed 24 months, pages only. Then I found a "Lives within 25 miles of a particular city" option and I set it to Timbuktu. So, now let's wait and see if it finds people who know at least 5 people in the group who live in Timbuktu. Or if these "controls" aren't. (8/9)

So today, I went through all those "controls" and found that "you are always in control" means you can set very specific options with narrow ranges. Must have at least 1-5 friends in group. Pages only or pages and profiles FB account has existed more than 1 -24 months. (7/9)

There are now 58 people in the tea party group. Overnight, AI invites another 300!! As I laboriously remove each invite, I find that it has RE-INVITED all the ones I removed before. This A... is not very I. (6 / 9?)
