French people do not 'grab a coffee'. They sit for 2 hours and enjoy the day.

A new poll shows that Americans have high opinions of many countries, including 76% liking France. The feeling is not mutual, as most Europeans now dislike the US after Trump's continual economic & military threats against them.

Starbucks baristas on ULP strike in Gardner, MA holding picket signs

I'm a little sick haha
Yeah everyone is sick right now it's crazy

I guess it's called "corruption." I've never heard that before. I said wow what a beautiful word. It comes from the Latin [spicy voice] corrumpere. But it's something we're doing and we'll be doing it perhaps more than ever before

is this "blueskyism"

What this chart doesn’t show is what % of deaths post-2020 were among the unvaccinated, which I think doctors have made clear was the overwhelming majority. Plus the fact that even *with* mask policies, half the population wasn’t wearing them correctly or flat out refused. It’s a culture problem.

Making them wear high-visibility vests over camo is such a good joke you couldn’t write it

“National socialists”, you might say

Sam Altman @sama • 13h This is a remarkable claim given what I have heard alleged that Elon does to manipulate X to benefit himself and his own companies and harm his competitors and people he doesn't like. Elon Musk @elonmusk • 15h Apple is behaving in a manner that makes it impossible for any Al company besides OpenAl to reach #1 in the App Store, which is an unequivocal antitrust violation. ...

THE GIRLS ARE FIGHTINGGG

It’s time to wake up - we are literally on the verge of losing our democracy if Donald Trump cheats his way to those seats in Texas.

you can always tell when a product is a cool thing that everyone loves when they place access to it on places people will click by accident like its a scammy ad on a pirated sports stream

The right thrives on telling you that instinctual discomfort you are confronted with when faced with unfamiliar people or customs is correct, and not a you problem. In that sense it's palliative, not material. Triggering the libs is a form of treatment for them, a kind of painkiller for empathy.

Iran Join Rick as he explores the most surprising and fascinating land he's ever visited: Iran. In a one-hour, ground-breaking travel special on public television, you'll discover the splendid monuments of...

In the spring of 2008, I feared America was on the verge of war with Iran — and, believing that it’s good style to get to know people before you bomb them, I made “Rick Steves’ Iran,” a one-hour special that could (and would) only debut on PBS. Sadly, this special has become pertinent again today.

😂 I voted for Kamala Harris. But keep projecting delusions onto anyone who doesn’t 100% agree with your nationalist dogma! It’s not at all indicative of a deeper problem with the political culture or the psychology of anonymous internet users, I’m sure. 👍🏻

Kev, I ain’t the one accusing random strangers of being commie agents for a country that hasn’t existed in 35 years ago. I think you got mixed up.

I am inside your walls.

I’m not even a “tankie,” and I’m an American with roots here going back to the 1700s. Touch grass, and read more history books outside your biases. Social media and TV news might have broken your brain.

Yes, bc you were reductive as hell about another country that coincidentally gave way more than ours to destroy the 3rd reich while having a ton of their own people & cities obliterated in a war of extermination. I hope you have a nice day too. May we all think a little more outside our biases
