Fuck this stuff - this is terrible. Over all, many people on both sides going way to far. Putin is laughing, as have the Russians at Polish-Ukrainian arguments for 500 years.

Anthony Kaldellis shows that ethnography did not vanish in Byzantium. It was embedded in histories, manuals, and theology. These texts described “others” less as neutral observation and more as a way to define Roman identity and imperial self-understanding. #Historiography #AncientBluesky 🏺

The last Russian to leave Crimea won't have to turn out the lights.

Others live up to our aspiration and fight for freedom. America turns to tyranny.

GOOD NEWS! A new cancer treatment has demonstrated unprecedented results in a large trial for cancer patients whose disease has become resistant to chemotherapy AND immunotherapy. Tumors shrank in OVER a third of participants, with 15 patients experiencing COMPLETE eradication of their tumors.

had a dream i was an fbi agent and was investigating a series of crimes from stephen king novels, but every time it was just graham platner.

So easy to be depressed about the state of America. Nice of the Russians to make this gesture on the 4th of July.

This is a really good letter and I'm grateful to @bradlander.bsky.social for using his platform to unequivocally insist upon antizionist Jews' membership in our shared Jewish community. forward.com/opinion/8355...

Note that the pro-Putin Trump administration never condemns Russia's terror bombing of Ukrainian civilians, churches, hospitals and schools. Trump supports Putin.

The air conditioning at the Delaney Hall concentration camp failed today, so now people are roasting inside as temperatures rise above 100 degrees. It's so hot they can't breathe.

My favorite policy is government loans to developers whose interest rate varies as a function of the number of people housed over the 30-year life of the loan. To the extent that you can find a way to build housing cheaply that lots of people *will* want to live in, you deserve free money.

The implicit recurrence relation is why you just have to keep incrementally upping the dose until you solve the equation.

This is NAZI SHIT!

Programming this into AI right now. What could go wrong? [Wait ... looks like the median is changing??? Oh no "currently" wasn't properly scoped!]

Juxtaposed: Russia - murders civilians: cruelty is the strategy. Ukraine - strikes at Russia's ability to prosecute the war. (The latter will win.)

Real russian culture in action

"Open borders? That's a Koch brothers proposal!" -- BERNIE SANDERS

But it's not a trend. Don't put it in your newspapers that it's a trend.

This is it lads. I can feel it. *This* is the little piece of ostentatious cruelty that finally kills off Reform. They're done for now, practically no point in them even running. More good work by the political geniuses of Blue Labour!

True 👇

It's interesting that they in fact believe this stupid thing (I think their take is America's recent military failures before Trump were because they were insufficiently Manly which to them just means Cruel), they have dramatically run into its falsehood... and they will definitely learn nothing.

the cherry on top is that the same SF left is uniting behind a regressive anti-transit NIMBY in Connie Chan

Tomorrow is the official publication day for Thomas Paine: Collected Writings, in 6 volumes, from Princeton University Press. Just in time for the 250th...

The United Nations is calling for independent investigations after at least 50 people have died in ICE custody since President Trump began his second term. The death rate is higher than it's been in over a decade, and this year is already on track to be worse than 2025. This is unconscionable.

Sometimes you have to stand firm. Other times the best course is to scampi.

The U.S. and European powers have always targeted Haiti/Haitians because Haiti's story is one of Black resistance, and these powers (still) try to invalidate and denigrate the first self-made Black republic at every turn. But its struggles are linked to colonial powers attempting to destroy it. /1

... The mere fact, consciousness—these forms—the power of motion, The least insect or animal—the senses—eyesight— love; The first step, I say, aw'd me and pleas'd me so much, I have hardly gone, and hardly wish'd to go, any farther, But stop and loiter all the time, to sing it in extatic songs.

Grimly amusing Dem machines think they deserve some sort of entitlement hierarchy. My entire life, everything has been moving backwards, politically, democratically, bureaucratically, judicially. You are all failures. You are presumptively part of the rot that must be removed down to the root.

many such cases (coming soon)

Just hearing about this on BBC World Service. I'm surprised the Israelis haven't declared that sea turtles are covert Hezbollah operatives, after the fact.

For a long time, the New York Democratic machine was corrupt, sclerotic, hostile to progress, and completely implacable. That started to change when 13 women came forward, at great personal cost, about the sexual harassment they experienced from Andrew Cuomo.

There will be MAGA Echoes of this for sure.

NEWS: In a stunning upset, Mamdani-backed Darializa Avila Chevalier will defeat five-term incumbent Adriano Espaillat in the NY-13 congressional primary. With victories by Lander, Valdez, and now Avila Chevalier, Mamdani went 3-for-3 with his endorsements in New York City's Democratic primaries.

went down to the centrist convention. they’re all shaking and crying, I heard one guy say “I’m starting to think a better world IS possible.” the lady next to him slapped him in the face

Once upon a time, people believed in science. Culture and politics were supposed to be progressive, because science proved it was possible.

Fuck Hawrocki

every single day the president is revealed to have committed a new impeachable offense and every single day democrats fail to submit articles of impeachment to create a public record of his crimes against the people

Blanche v. Lau is devastating for green card holders. It means that if they leave the U.S. then return, a border officer can claim they committed a crime at some point, revoke their lawful status, and confiscate their green card without meaningful evidence of wrongdoing. It's really, really bad.
