PLEASE, retail workers from a religious minority living under Christian hegemony year-round (factcheck: true) the public space stuff this time of year is a lot (though I'd 100% take public Christmas but w/national abortion access if playing forced choice, ofc) PLEASE DO THIS it is a kindness

Every liberal democratic voter should see the way the Mamdani and Trump spoke and how Mamdani, never having to compromise his positions, was able to get Trump to agree with him. Thats what left-wing populism can do and it’s the direction the Democratic Party must go.

Ah yes. Harvard Law School in the early 1990s, well known for its Communist professors.

The whole "natural birth natural life no medicine" crowd is actually more unfathomable to me than even nazis, like I understand what drives a nazi, I cannot wrap my head around the thought process that argues that the best plan is to embrace the methods that historically led to a lifespan of 27 yrs

Your bills are up, your rents doubled, there’s shit in the rivers and the sea, your local community centre has closed down and the only shops left open are bookies and poundlands - but the government’s number one priority is assigning a genital inspector to every public toilet.

My favorite piece of content today.

The real “Dolores”? I was recently commissioned to create a pencil sketch of Aquilops - a dinosaur which I’d never really paid proper attention to. In the l course of my research I became a bit obsessed and felt compelled to also create this more detailed illustration as a personal project. #SciArt

Brexit has caused almost twice as much damage to the UK economy than estimated by official forecasts, according to new paper from a group of experts including a senior Bank of England economist

sometimes i still go to twitter to check the local news. this was the sole reply under an article about the crazy storms we had last night. please laugh with me bc all i can do is laugh at this point 🙃

coming out of my cage and im doing just fine

It's a censorship engine designed to promote ideas that Elon Musk likes and suppress ideas that Elon Musk does not like. I really don't get why this evident fact - that Musk openly admits! - is so hard for so many people to understand

I'm quote tweeting not as a dunk, but there's an influencer who got offered a free IV drip and as a result has been dealing with the flesh eating bacteria for years now. A lot of these medi-spas are not well regulated and opening your arm to them has real infection risks.

We don't really know how bicycles work.

Earlier today, I was notified that someone was at my door. This is who it was:

A fire broke out in the pavilion section of #COP30 in Belém this afternoon, forcing an evacuation of the entire conference and the cancellation of meetings today. Source of fire unclear and future of the conference, in its second to last day, also unclear.

I'm not saying Hazony is a fascist, but this talking point about the US being made "un-Christian" in the 1930s by hostile foreign elements is straight out of the US fascist playbook of that era. Those US fascists in the 1930s meant Jews, specifically Jews who they said were radical leftists.

In order to figure out where all the antisemitism on the right has come from, we interviewed the most obtuse fool imaginable who is both Jewish AND built one of the key institutions that has served as an incubator of right wing antisemitism since its founding.

if there's a prominent jewish person helping advance the aims of the far-right, the likelihood that they're affiliated with the tikvah fund or the david horowitz freedom center is near certain

"I was trying to help my mom,” said 13-year-old Jayleane, shaking, as tears streamed down her cheeks. “I saw they were pulling her hair. They had the gun in front of me. I was scared.”

++ #Großbritannien plant eine Asylreform nach dänischem Vorbild. Wer ankommt, soll kaum noch Rechte haben. Die Sozialdemokraten übernehmen die Rhetorik der Rechten. Kritiker warnen.

A lot is written about antisemitism on the left while there's seemingly very little about Islamophobia and anti Arab sentiment in liberalism.

Should probably be acknowledged that Islamophobia and anti Arab sentiment seems to be a load bearing part of American liberalism's total indifference at best and malice at worst to a particular section of the world

Not especially surprising nor something new, much of US policy on Palestine and Lebanon in the previous administration really could only have been tolerated with such bigotries being latent.

Asked for comment on his fall, John Fetterman replied “fee fi fo fum”

Peter Thiel is obsessed with the Antichrist — but what does he actually mean when he talks about it? This week @gilduran.com joins @parismarx.com to discuss how Thiel casts his enemies as the Antichrist to distract from Silicon Valley’s anti-human project. Full ep: techwontsave.us/episode/303_...

Now THIS???? is a white man! this is how you white man!!!!!!!!!

this is happening all over the US. People, people just like you and your barber or your bug guy, are standing up for their neighbors and strangers. This the beauty and the strength that rises from their oppression. When you doom, this is what you're insulting.

it's thursday and the president is calling for the execution of elected members of congress and boy, you just never know where the week is going to go, do you

I am regularly accused of treason by chodes on the internet. Even so, having a president endorse and amplify a message like this is really, really frightening www.politico.com/live-updates...

„Eine natürliche Geburt ist nicht per se etwas Gutes“ Ehrlichere Headlines von irgendwelchen Artikeln habe ich heute nicht gelesen.

One thing everyone can agree on, across the political spectrum, is that Trump is full of shit and nothing he says should be taken seriously. This is a problem.

I watched a ton of Humphrey Bogart movies with my dad when I was young. Dude looked like an old leather suitcase and every movie framed him like the hottest person walking

One thing I always notice watching old films is that beauty standards for men have really skyrocketed in a way I'd probably be mad about if I were male. Used to be if you had all your teeth and didn't look like you'd spent the night in a bin they'd put you in a movie and call you a sex symbol!

People were doing things in this era clearly on the assumption that William Shatner was a very attractive man and I am just not sure I agree that was ever true.

Still thinking about the fact that Obama appointed Summers to the National Economic Council AFTER the latter had to step down as Harvard president for being an outspoken misogynist. Like, that wasn’t disqualifying.

“LLMs aren’t going away” statements are wishes, not predictions, that they’re trying to make happen. Treat them as advocacy for a specific future, not observations of inevitability
