The implicit media consensus is that urban voters should not be able to overrule rural voters, but that rural voters should be able to overrule urban voters, an assumption so axiomatic and unquestionable that nobody even understands they're making it.
fascinating findings
The Princess Bride is a fascinating landscape of all the different ethnicities that Jews can get cast as (Spanish, Italian, old shtetl Jews, assimilated American Jews who aren’t explicitly Jewish)
A mass shooting that took the lives of eight children should stop this country in its tracks. Instead, the Shreveport tragedy disappeared from the headlines in a day. We cannot allow this level of violence to fade into background noise. Ending America’s gun‑violence epidemic is a moral oblligation.
I didn't even hear about this until now, and it's already buried by a NC school shooting.
US elites decided, like a school of fish, that climate concern is old, boring, "woke," square, not hip & popular any more. As usual, it was based almost entirely on internal elite dynamics. It had nothing to do with the actual public, which is more concerned than ever.
some posts about how people tried to burn down a synagogue in london, and then mark rich comes and says "it's antisemitic to try and shut down legitimate criticism of the Israeli government and OF, by claiming this is antisemitism"
hey @markrich68.bsky.social can you give an example of antisemitism? because if trying to light a fucking synagogue on fire isn't antisemitism to you then i kinda think you don't actually think antisemitism exists
when nazis burned down shuls on kristallnacht, do you think that was antizionist too
Just sobbed hardest I have since my mom died in 2020.
She missed these trials by a few months.
One of most ruthless cancers. Hard to fathom that maybe she'd still be here.
I feel such a hole inside.
In case you're wondering if we should fund mRNA research instead of another stupid war ... yes.
"errrr have liberals tried to uhhh...provide services and do governance?"
That's been the entirety of the American liberal project in the 20th and 21st centuries outside of a brief period in the 90s. I don't think you guys even know what liberalism is.
having molly shah leave this place to go /back to x/ does not speak well to this site's long term prospects
This is a hilarious take, because she never stopped posting on X The Everything App, she just kept the grifting to this site and the retweeting posts complaining about Germany's antisemitism laws violating free speech to the Nazi site.
No it's because a lot of people believe it doesn't, they think Hamas is going to deport the Israeli Jews to Germany or Poland and take over the territory
Except Jews. We don't care about them. We're fine with a candidate who carried the insignia of the unit that was literally in charge of exterminating Jews. We draw the line at old people. Nazis are fine.
Just so we're clear: Platner's tattoo was WAAAAAYYYY worse than a Swastika.
Early reports coming in of another arson attack on a Synagogue in Britain last night - this time Kenton United Synagogue.
This the third attempted firebombing of a Jewish building in London this week.
An Iran-linked group has claimed responsibility for *all* the recent series of arson attacks against British synagogues and Jewish groups – including the ambulance attack.
The story should be bigger full stop. But how is this aspect of it barely mentioned? It seems *bizarre*.
It's harder to measure but I feel like RFK Jnr shutting down funding for MRNA research is actually up there with DOGE cuts and this latest Iranian war as a contender for Most Evil Things Trump II has done. Accounted properly, this regime is really wracking up 20th-century-dictator kill counts imo.
Akshyually, no, you’re the Nazi racist, and I hope you follow…
John Roberts is and always has been Sam Alito with better PR
he has declared himself and his fellow republican justices the unelected rulers of America and they have wielded their power in favor of making Donald Trump of all people untouchable
the court as it exists today must be broken
A peer reviewed study shows a promising link between flu and shingles vaccines and a reduced risk of dementia. A heroin addict who cut off a raccoon’s penis for “further study” says these vaccines cause autism. For busy Americans, it can be hard to know who to trust.
the basic theory of DOGE was that if powerful people said it was fine it didn’t matter what the law said.
I think proving that theory wrong is worth significant effort
formal scenario with one person that I am not close with or respect as more senior, essentially the same in russian and belarusian. more traditional and intelligentsia tend to use vy more, using ty for someone you haven't met before is a sign of disrespect.
It's the same in Ukrainian. There's no third person calling "pan" or "pani" like in Polish, just "ви"[vɨ].
The E. coli and salmonella in river water thinks so too
oh now for me I like it a nice brisk 63 in the evenings
one of the biggest technological revolutions in history and it has nothing to do with crypto, AI, metaverse or any of the things the media relentlessly hypes
Second tragic death of antiwar musician prisoner of conscience. first one is Pavel Kushnir
This is why Russia is still fighting, why the war continues and why people are dying: Because Trump and Vance encouraged Putin to believe he could win
That’s less than a year ago
Ukrainians. The Ukrainian people. Ask a Ukrainian. Not only were we here during Holodomor, we are still here now, and have direct, relevant experience vis-a-vis the question "Did the Holodomor happen and was it the Bolshevik's fault". (yes and yes)
I think it’s the combination of the high mortgage rates and the prices that have run up like crazy since 2019. plus white collar job market is the worst since 2010, it’s absolute massacre for tech and IT.
