I don’t think a lot of people understand how extreme this code is

just in general I think it reflects badly if you have to keep saying your military is lethal. who has a non-lethal military

A Bollywood film celebrates firing pellet guns as heroism. Insha Mushtaq lives with the reality: blinded at 14 after opening her kitchen window during the 2016 #Kashmir protests, she rebuilt her life—but not her sight, writes Harinder Baweja. Subscribe to read: article-14.com/subscribe

Today I learned this doof is Graham Platner's stepbrother, thank you @diplomatofnight.com

I will take back every rude thing I have ever said about England if Count Binface beats Nigel Farage in the by-election

More of this pls

how the fuck did i miss this? absolutely incredible. frantzman wrote an editorial for jpost once trying to get me banished from jewish communal life, falsely claiming i threatened him and his colleagues by saying if their offices burned down and they all got cancer, it would be too good for them.

This is, absolutely no joke, the scenario Sam Huntington was publicly scared about in the 1990s

🧵"I recognized him, not from his appearance but from his voice crying for help as he lay on the street." DHS says Lorenzo Salgado Araujo "attempted to ram an officer who fired his weapon in self-defense." They said that about Renee Good. It was a lie. We have no reason to think it's not a lie now.

You know even the appetizers slap harder than most cuisines' entrees

'Layzie Bone, Krayzie Bone, Bizzy Bone, Flesh-n-Bone and Wish Bone from Bone Thugs-N-Harmony pose on their newly unveiled star during their Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony'

A scientist, a philosopher, and a poet walk into a bar. They all drink heavily to try to forget the state that society is in.

Do you or someone you know have a sense of lgbtq affinity or support groups near Bay Ridge? For a gay friend who has had a rough path and is at age forty finally able to be out.

My grandfather spent five years fighting on the Burma Front, arguably one of the bloodiest parts of World War II as Major Mohammed Abu Nasr Moezuddin. Yeah, his medical school friends nicknamed him Moses, but I don't think he was fighting for fucking Christianity.

yes! something i really want to pursue along this line of thinking is how different paradigms of "AI" call for different kinds of mobilizations and reactions. AI as a parlor trick compared to AI as an ideology compared to AI as a field of research (and what space!) calls for us to attend differently

There were watch parties throuhout Gaza for the Egypt matches. They were put on by an Egyptian aid society, led by a man named Fawaz El Wahidi. Israel killed him 3 minutes into the match with Argentina.

On France: Despite what opinion polls say, Le Pen is and always has been a far more formidable opponent for the centre - Philippe, Attal etc - than Bardella. She has experience and a political density that he did not. She is not basecase but the EU should be worried by recent developments in France

Yes. This is also why some people get mad when people express consistent support for self-determination, or anti-racism, or international law, or other broad norms across cases. They lose a way to claim their opponent is a hypocrite and claim an easy win.

The paradigmatic new “working class” job is not in a steel factory, but in a hospital. Our political discourse ought to evolve to reflect that lpeproject.org/blog/the-mak...

Platner was supposedly justified because of his appeal to a working class that is always discursively coded as a white male industrial worker. Yet (while acknowledging the demographics of Maine) the 2026 US working class looks more like a black woman in scrubs than this 20th century image

Referring to Palestine, Egyptian football coach Hossam Hassan: "In the country where kids are being killed, they wear the jerseys of Argentina, Barcelona, City, Real Madrid. These kids love you and they love football. But they are being killed and you're still silent." Preach.

back when i worked at petco i would always say "goodbye [dog name]!" in a sweet voice and one day i did this for a big biker lookin guy walking away with his pomeranian and he turned around and walked back very serious and stopped and (gently) grabbed that dogs paw and made her wave goodbye to me

"By working with Israel constructively instead of making futile gestures of popular resistance, we can help ameliorate their excesses and build support for the peace process from within the Israeli government and society, as demonstrated by_________________________?"

There's value in flagging what went wrong with the Maine Senate race but believe that is different from "who was most right about the odious nazi rapist?" i think pointing out the repeated missed warning signs has merit, going after private figures for being less than 100% right seems a bit much.

Glad that Platner's out. Incredibly disturbed that a Nazi tattoo was not reason enough, or proud service as a mercenary. People make mistakes, yes, but you have to acknowledge them, get rid of them, and do the work of redemption.

Well, when you put it that way…

I have a foolproof way to make sure that your papers contain absolutely no fake references . . . . . read the papers you cite.

This is a confession to sexual assault, frankly

Cooooooool

The Big Headlines in LATAM Colombia's new ultra-right leader is finally offering details, Cuba dies in darkness, and though international rescue teams have left Venezuela, the humanitarian crisis is only beginning LATEST

We’re carrying an enormous - 96 meter - quilt made by the trans community and its allies through London with London Trans+ Pride on Saturday July 25th and we need volunteers to join us in making a big, beautiful statement of trans community and strength. Will you come and carry it with us?

If the European partners in NATO had actually been a bit principled, instead of enthusiastically supporting and facilitating almost every war crime during the "War on Terror", I might feel something about their difficulties with Trump other than, "What did you expect?"

But how could we have known that the guy with the massive Nazi tattoo was a sack of red flags??

Rape is a crime against democracy in the most immediate sense of equality between individuals and the premise that we’re all endowed with certain inalienable rights.

I double dog dare u, Maine

If someone seems a little too shifty for you to be comfortable with the idea of them leading an infantry squad except under the very close supervision of a strong platoon commander and platoon sergeant, they probably shouldn’t be a candidate for the Senate. That’s what Platner seemed like to me.

Trans rights kits for Belgium putting belt to ass on the all navy chud usa. What a sight.

Ok maybe thank you trump because what would this look like without the corruption?

This feels like a good time to note that, indeed, USWNT is the winningest team in international sports history (win percentage: 84) the18.com/en/soccer-en...

Kind of striking that all the "problems of the Left" accusations that have any sticking power seem to be all about one White Guy candidate who has no history at all of being Left.

For those just finding out about the questionable ethics of FIFA, they were the subject of an exhibit at the Mob Museum in Las Vegas in 2015.

PS If Rahm is really going to suggest an Arab League-involved, multi-state peace deal, he might want to check in with *checks notes* the entire Israeli political landscape other than Ehud Olmert who ignored the Arab League Peace Initiative in 2002, 2007, & 2017. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arab_Pe...

Quick reminder! "Rahm Emanuel's father, Benjamin M. Emanuel, was born in Jerusalem, where he was a member of the Irgun, a Zionist p̷a̷r̷a̷m̷i̷l̷i̷t̷a̷r̷y̷ [terrorist] organization." Tell me again how the anti-genocide protests didn't move the needle. (& also don't ever vote for this man)

A man who publicly was doing something which, when done wrong, can cause graft-vs-host disease, an autoimmune disease which can attack, among other things, your GI tract, now has an autoimmune disease which is attacking his GI tract. What a coincidence.

I 100% wholeheartedly believe the freakout over Abdul in August is going to be ten times worse than it was about Mamdani
