Trump invades Falklands

At the Nuremberg trials, Karl Dönitz was convicted of war crimes for the sinking of civilian vessels. This is not a complicated question, it's been illegal for centuries.

Every municipality needs to understand that data center jobs do not exist. There are no people in data centers. When people need to go to data centers they usually come from some big tech company HQ, or from some contractor hired to shove servers into racks. They are built by nonlocal specialists.

Yessss Alaa!! The Arab Spring Twitter generation lives

hey political scientists, wake up, wild new country-pair just dropped.

The media seems to have swallowed the “protecting women” from asylum seekers rhetoric when >90% of sexual assault perpetrators are known to the victim and about 95% of white British women have a white British partner. Again, they don’t care about facts

They’re just… terrorist attacks. But what are the demands exactly idk

You know why ethnic minorities in the UK always feel second-class as if they're never safe in this country and could be asked to leave at any time? This is why:

I do think about this a lot

Is it really "fast-tracking" or "accelerating" when it's basically restarting some of the 100-odd projects you iced a year ago, putting the construction sector into a nosedive? www.stuff.co.nz/politics/360...

While we wait for NZ to recognise Palestine, why not more mugs?

Something for the dog-owners of Hamilton who also like SCIENCE! Or maybe your boyfriend if he's a golden retriever.

the difference between me and guys like klein is that he thinks we should study the right to learn their values and i think we should study the right to learn their tactics

Other unforced errors expected by Luxon today Hold press conference with his shower cap still on Recognise state of Palantir Nominate Nicola Willis for Nobel prize in economics Face rake twice

Buried details: the 18% of kids whose identities shifted over the course of the study were overwhelmingly between binary trans and non-binary or vice versa. The number who shifted between binary cis and trans was very low indeed - out of a subset of 254, precisely *one* kid shifted in this way.

Doctors strike for you. They strike for the nurses. They strike for the back office staff. They strike for all the people in the health care system that are getting absolutely f*ckd by a govt that wants to give resources to landlords but not to sick people. $100M for hospitals? Are you kidding me?

Large anti corruption protests in the Philippines are underway. Triggered by deadly floods which exposed $2billion lost to corruption in flood defence projects some of which didn't exist at all. www.rappler.com/philippines/... And a familiar flag is being flown at the protests.

From earlier today. Thousands of protesters from Luneta Park (the main protest site) fill the streets of Mendiola amid the presence of state forces. They chanting "ikulong na yan, mga kurakot!" Video via Tinig ng Plaridel (student news outlet of UP College of Media and Communication)

Absolutely detest having to hand it to Starmer today

Dad was one of the Good Boomers.

There's a group of literally about a dozen people at the top of this. A dozen people who couldn't agree a programme of basic, practical actions & stick to them, for even a few weeks. A dozen people who think they are the future of the nation. Time to ignore them.

Our mistake when we wrote _Calling Bullshit_ was to assume that people would deliberately abuse the flexibility of quantitative metrics to mislead. We devoted inadequate attention to people making up complete and utter nonsense with no possible grounding in fact.

Timely.

"[P]olice have charged more than 10 people" - in a very marginally better world, this would include Winston Peters for incitement to violence.

What is house style for no-scare-quotes 'genocide'? A conclusion of genocide from the UN, the body that came up with genocide as an international crime, doesn't cut it?

Genocide is scary, but that doesn't mean it should be put into "scare" quotes.

They just paused $400 million in weapons aid to Taiwan. Colby can use China as his excuse 24/7/365, but the reality is that he's just a genteel isolationist who doesn't want the US involved anywhere.

rewatching NETWORK for a project 👀 and it is absolutely shocking how prescient this film is. it’s like paddy chayefsky was granted a vision of america in 2025 and he furiously tried to turn what he saw into something intelligible to viewers in the 1970s

🫡 to the Mt Hutt weather station for recording a 224 km/h wind gust as it's final act before going dark

In a less insane time, if it was discovered that the President of the United States said this privately to their AG, it would’ve triggered an all-encompassing, impeachable corruption scandal. Here, Trump is saying it publicly and it’s just another Saturday.

Me, awake at 6am Singapore time while the males continue sleeping: GUYS THE FOOD ON GEYLANG IS 24JAM

Starmer is expected to announce that the United Kingdom has recognized the State of Palestine later today (Sunday, the 21st) according to the BBC

Incredible

I humbly suggest, for everyone in Aotearoa New Zealand, when you wake up on Tuesday September 23rd ahead of other timezones in the world, Do Not Post. Just keep radio silence until about 11am when Australia realises they are still there.

Okay, makes a lot more sense now as a political shackle for capital and immediate conversion of immigration to a corruption-based system.

I miss when Google worked

welp

I'm in Singapore for the first time since Covid, kinda emotional, had Proustian feels into my Mr & Mrs Mohgan crispy roti paratha with perfect curry sauce, pray for me

Rogue state

The practice of having to smash out your own teeth in order to make a death threat is extremely pro-social.

Watching the Democrat Congressional and Senate leadership meet the American Fascist moment is like watching a guy lose a game of chess to a dog who is not playing chess.

the world’s gotta make other plans

Six months on from Adrian Orr’s resignation as Reserve Bank Governor, the true story is trickling out and the bank’s OIA team is still not fully staffed. newsroom.co.nz/2025/09/19/r...

I was just reminded that Nicola Willis has a specific "economic growth" portfolio! She's the Opposite Day of ministers! #nzpol

Just now, 11 state and city lawmakers were arrested by DHS police on the 10th floor of 26 Federal Plaza after a hour of demanding access to the ICE lock up on the same floor. @thecity.nyc
