I'm so tired of this "false sense of victimization" these weak men feel.
"Oh no, women don't worship. Women don't want me. Women are too independent. Women should be sex toys. Women shouldn't have rights."
Like fuck that. Only weak men are screaming victimization.
I can see no possible scenarios where this could end badly
Edit: accidentally wrote "no" instead of "only"
I’m that someone. 😀
You can read about this and all my other software archaeology projects at bbcelite.com - there are lots of rabbit holes to get lost down. Enjoy!
Also the new Landy could not look more like a Temu knock-off of its once-proud heritage if it tried.
When you win the most foregone election in 20 years and the bar to demonstrate competence is extremely low, yet you still can't find a way over it
I know a great story someone else wrote about exactly this problem! Let me paraphrase...
I'd like to think it's partly sensation bias but it does seem like a large number of us are just beyond hope.
Also a birth rate under 2 is not a threat to humanity unless you're treating humanity as a pyramid scheme
An estimated 90-93% of all the extractable oil in the North Sea has already been extracted. Every % remaining will be less cost effective to extract than the one before it.
And to think, all it took was a deranged mentally ill man-baby bringing the world to the brink of nuclear war!
The Arabian plate is colliding with the Eurasian plate at a rate of about 15-20 millimeters per year, so if the Strait of Hormuz is doing anything naturally it’s closing up. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

"The welfare budget is higher than the defence budget!"
Yes, isn't that exactly what peacetime spending should look like? Shouldn't our focus be on the issues faced by actual people rather than imagined future threats?
If we go through with this, some of the people with an amount of money that a sane person wouldn't know what to do with might end up with a slightly shorter number of pounds a sane person wouldn't know what to do with!
Was reminded it may not actually be common knowledge that the Amazon rainforest is a largely man-made feature. Huge swaths of even the soil are anthrosol. Many of our food crops today originate from this agricultural system.
WHAT?
Let's make "Finish your book Shiv!" the new "Jerry No!"
Where "separation of church and state" appears to mean "Thank God for things but don't write it down or say the word 'prayer' in assembly"
how do you say “lfg” in hungarian?
this feels like time for one of my periodic rants about how Judaism gets some stuff wrong - like all religions - but one of the things we are REALLY GOOD ON is the nature of forgiveness.
which is to say: first, unless they have come to you with sincere repentance, you don't have to forgive anyone!
Hans Zimmer is a transphobe. A tweet reads "I worked for him. I did good work that he praised, but after transitioned he quickly had me fired. He had cue notes named "tr*nnv fight"' etc etc... It's a pattern of abuse that will inevitably come out over time, and I'm glad that the industry is changing slowly."
I regret to inform y'all that Hans Zimmer fuckin sucks.
"we need more literal children having babies" is certainly a take
"what am I up to? Oh you know, hanging out on Bluesky Discover feed, waiting for someone to mention <subject> so I can jump on it and tell them <subject> doesn't exist. You know, just normal, healthy, everyday human interactions. You?"
No-one wants to be a "favourite cousin"
Everyone wants to be a "favourite auncle"
a chart showing climate scenarios
Any company quietly or loudly ditching their fossil fuel non-use goals is declaring the same.
Energy security and costs are important. Being alive is more important than both of these. If you've forgotten that, fix your fucking heart.
Any politician declaring that they don't give a shit about climate, emissions or fossil phase-out anymore is declaring that they don't care about fossil fuels killing their constituents and should be treated as such.
same for companies
A GENTLE REMINDER: we are trying to eliminate fossil fuels because using them kills us.
If fossil fuels were cheap (they're not) or reliable (they're SO NOT), it would still be urgent to get rid of them because their intended use destroys our life support systems.
of course the Amazon owner's newspaper thinks you should piss in a bottle
Tech Lobbyists Are Trying To Kill Colorado’s Popular ‘Right To Repair’ Law
There’s a meaningful push afoot to implement statewide “right to repair” laws that try to make it cheaper, easier, and environmentally friendlier for you to repair the technology you own. Unfortunately, while all fifty…
Map of the UK, showing the huge proportion of land used for beef, dairy and lamb production and the tiny proportion used for crops, next to a plot showing that 68% of UK calories and 52% of our protein come from the plants.
Maybe these need to be put on a few menus/supermarket walls. These are from the UK National Food Strategy, showing the proportion of UK land used for different things (huge for beef/lamb, tiny for crops), & where we get our calories and protein (68% & 52% from plants). The difference is staggering.
