Firefighters in Rhode Island rushed into a frigid pond on New Year's Day to rescue a golden retriever who fell through thin ice during a morning walk.

this is the politics lead of a major liberal newspaper as international fascism gains ground & it's all a complete joke to him

NYT seems to have real problems deciding whether it will practice journalism or be a Likudnik mimeograph machine. Real journalists would have reported fully on the context surrounding Eric Adams' orders. NYT doesn't do that.

Death of American journalism accelerates hourly.

London in the good old days - before everyone's feet pointed forwards.

Clown politician in a clown party with a clown clique feeding her Scottish attack lines and they don't even hold up to her own voting record. Mortifying! Absolutely mortifying! Fundamentally unserious people for whom politics and posting are one and the same.

Wild that this time last year you might have considered Zarah Sultana a politician with a real interesting future and now she's a figure of fun, in a dying project, where everyone hates everyone else, and her only knowledge of Scotland is what some no marks with an axe to grind tell her. Tragic!

Honestly can't tell if people not understanding the Mamdani line about decorum are doing a bit or just not terribly literate

This bit of Mamdani’s speech, which I understood immediately, really got under some people’s skin.

I am curious as to who the "stakeholders" are who are preventing the UK government from acting against a white supremacist pornographer?

Very good.

Mayor Mamdani has nullified every executive order issued by Eric Adams after he struck his corrupt bargain with Trump to secure dismissal of the indictment against him.

Mamdani: For too long, those fluent in the good grammar of civility have deployed decorum to mask agendas of cruelty

I’m a *lot* fed up with the constant gaslighting about what this Labour government has been like. I’d love a good Labour government. I’d be right behind it - if it stopped the xenophobic bollocks, started treating disabled people with respect etc etc. Currently, Starmer is Farage’s best recruiter

DC does not have a triumphal arch, despite all its other Roman architecture, because they are an imperial and not a republican symbol. They became reserved for the Caesars, and the Arc de Triomphe is a monument to Napoleon. If this dumb thing gets built, the only acceptable course is to demolish it.

it's never been more national security over

Racism and bigotry are the glue that holds the supposedly warring factions of the right. Since the start of the Trump era most mainstream outlets have had trouble admitting this truth or tried to treat bigotry as a reasonable response to economic or social changes.

No one should accept unfounded claims from the aggressor who has indiscriminately targeted Ukraine’s infrastructure and civilians since the start of the war. (2/2)

An essential development over the past decade-plus is that the ignorant went from feeling chastened when their ignorance was revealed to banding together and deciding that, actually, they were right. They might disagree at times, but they agreed that ignorance itself was an indicator of trust.

What a quote.
