the "b" in "subtle" is really just there as an example

If you're wondering why a large chunk of ostensibly left-of-center pundits are waging war on environmental protections in the form of an "abundance agenda," it's because Silicon Valley has quietly developed a culture of rampant pollution.

same for any vehicle factory built or modified to have the lights higher than a normal car's. you don't need that shit and everyone's lives are worse for it

When I arrive at the party

This needs to happen more often. If an agent pulls his weapon on a civilian for no reason, they should be arrested and charged. This is why filming ICE encounters is so important. You’re documenting atrocities. You may help get a dangerous man off the streets. ktla.com/news/local-n...

i don't have a job atm but we were just talking about how Teams etc have brought socials-style stuff into the workplace i don't want to 'Like' or ❤️ a coworker's shenanigans. at most i want to 'acknowledge' or 'accept' it

everyone who wants Democrats to focus on throwing immigrants and trans people under the bus needs to explain why this is not going to be the end result

Mo Farah would not have been a British citizen for the 2012 Olympics if Labour had introduced their new asylum plan.

Kool-Aid Man’s glass penis clinks awkwardly against Kool-Aid Woman’s glass vagina. “What horrible God made us?” he asks, miserably

the internet used to be comminism since all the information on webbed sites used to be free but now the internet is capitalism because its worse and costs money

I think it’s time we rename Uranus. I suggest Urbutthole. Click like and subscribe for more scientific insights.

& i think that the rich perverts on the list should get special treatment...their money goes to charity first & then they go in the volcano

FMFL, i miss when humans had somewhat-useful repositories of shared knowledge (in this case, the bit of slop at the top of the page was correct, and the bit at the bottom was the real garbage)

New: Google has chosen a side in Trump's mass deportation campaign. Google is hosting a CBP facial recognition app to hunt immigrants; no indication Google will remove. At same time Google takes down apps for reporting ICE sightings “Big tech has made their choice” www.404media.co/google-has-c...

it was always the most “open secret” shit imaginable and no one did a fucking thing about it. people don’t give a fuck about sexual abuse unless it convenient rhetoric to weaponize against communities at high risk for sexual abuse—trans women in particular

Joyce Carol Oates has inspired legions via @maiamindel.bsky.social

the real reason carbon capture and storage is popular among policymakers is because it sounds like a cheatcode that allows them to /not/ decarbonise. scientists should not uncritically endorse their desire for cheatcodes

Maybe I'm outta the loop but it does seem like nobody at all seems to know or have thought about the relative permeability of voters between 'left <> centre left' and 'centre right <> hard right'. I wouldn't be surprised if Green voters would be more willing to switch to Lab than Reform voters

im hearing now, that all the nerds who got their pants pulled down while distracted by the Northern Lights, will be charged as sex offenders

never has a computer been more suspicious of humans than the UK Gov jobs portal (this fires almost every time)

Really wish I had gotten a better shot of this but holding a phone that says “who else was just ‘following orders’?” up to a riot cop is hard as hell

Nowhere in the hysterical pile-on against the BBC in the British press has anyone mentioned that BBC News now has 77 million viewers & listeners in the US and has established itself as the second most trusted news source there.

second verse on this is one of the funniest things i've ever heard

COKE: is pepsi okay DR PEPPER: *removes surgical mask* we did everything we could

[Dick Cheney's final breath] Tell my family I loved...war crimes

Oooo I’m Death. I'm a mean skeleton with a fancy sword. Fuck off, bone boy

Nothing like a nice long flight for catching up on #30DayMapChallenge 🤪. Here's Day 8 — urban — right on time. A map of Paris buildings by age of construction. A real beauty if I do say so myself. 😍

So it turns out... the US air travel system was incredibly, deeply dependent on federal funding to just run day-to-day all this time, to the benefit of private airline shareholders, when everyone thinks that state-run trains are leeching off the government. Weird!

One analytical model shows that, as of November 5th, the dismantling of U.S.A.I.D. has already caused the deaths of 600,000 people, two-thirds of them children. https://newyorkermag.visitlink.me/jUzNSc

On my dog walk I often chat with right wingers. I pretend I am an ex-Reform voter put off by the utter fuck up of our county council. Then they see me as one of their own, don't get defensive and shouty, and start to question their own opinion of Reform. Honey, not vinegar.

Working in the environmental field but opposing a bus rapid transit project and new apartments in your neighborhood should frankly get you blacklisted until the end of time

you can't spell 'funemployed' without 'ploy'

billionaires should not be allowed to exist because the downside of "one of them loses their mind" is simply too dangerous for a functional society also, having a billion dollars tends to make you lose your mind

The proliferation of poorly-coded, inefficient software is an environmental catastrophe

Hi, I'm the ProPublica reporter who's been tracking an unusual stat: U.S. citizens grabbed by immigration agents. I did it because the government isn’t. This is what I found.

Marriage is like picking your favorite song to be your ringtone

"who wants this" is a good question with a pretty simple answer: investors do who like how companies figured out they can short-term double count self dealing moving around money at a loss between their data centers, hardware partners and software teams. it isn't for us. nothing new is at this point
