i won’t steal your hoodies but i will absolutely steal your soul and wear it around when i’m cold

Opinion | In a war between tech bros and core MAGA, the winner is easy to spot They are a selfish bunch who have shown time and again that what interests them most is themselves.

Religion was once the opiate of the masses, but in America, culture wars now serve that role.

Yet when these conflicts threaten billionaire profits, including those of the president-elect, real power asserts itself.

H1-Bs, tariffs, TikTok bans; billionaires’ interests always prevail in the end.

The image shows a cozy table setting with two large glasses of red drinks, garnished with lime slices. A lit candle is positioned in the center, providing soft lighting. On the table, there are several food items: a plate with thin slices of salami, a small bowl of green olives, a container of orange dip, and a glass with crispy snacks. The background features a couch and a blanket, suggesting a relaxed atmosphere. The wooden table adds a rustic touch to the scene.

In the run-up to Christmas, I’ll share some of my favourite tried-and-tested recipes.

"our scientific representations are not, as many hoped in the heyday of logical empiricism, a super vending machine to which we can feed in facts about the questions we are interested in, turn the crank of logical derivation, and pick up answers that fall out." —Cartwright, The Tangle of Science

A color photo of upper levels of old buildings take from the second floor of MoMA. The evening sun trickling through and dotting the facades of the structures.

A color photo taken at a low, crouching level fro inside of a bodega of a man outside on a bicycle along Madison Avenue. The foreground shows different snacks to the doorway outside, which also has the front of a blue car and a tree decorated with white lights.

A color photo of a city scene in Manhattan. A crosswalk with the backs of two people going different directions almost out of frame. The camera is pointing past traffic whizzing by, showing concrete and steel buildings as far as the eye can see. The clear sky is a baby blue.

🚨DR UK's Statement on Passing of Assisted Dying Bill

We stand firmly against a law that risks pressuring Disabled people into decisions driven by lack of options rather than genuine choice. This bill could reinforce the narrative that Disabled people’s lives are less valuable.

I'm going to do some coverage on here of the assisted dying debate. If you're not interested please mute this thread now. It'll probably go on a while.

Assisted dying has been passed through parliament today. Putting millions of working class and vulnerable people in danger who will be underrepresented and advocated for.

A dark day for a government who can’t even manage current healthcare never mind deciding to kill someone. #AssistedDying

"Infant mortality rises for third consecutive year in England.

Risk of death for babies born in poorer areas is almost three times higher than in wealthier postcodes, figures show."

The UK is a declining econcomy with a few extremely rich people.

A tall tree with a sturdy trunk and sprawling branches, its leaves a vibrant mix of golden yellow, burnt orange, and deep red. The ground beneath is blanketed with fallen leaves, creating a warm carpet of autumn colours. Sunlight filters through the foliage, casting dappled shadows on the trunk and leaves, with a bright blue sky visible in the background, adding contrast to the scene. The setting appears serene and rich with the beauty of the season.

‘Delicious autumn! My very soul is wedded to it, and if I were a bird I would fly about the earth seeking the successive autumns’.

- George Eliot

When Labour talks about sanctioning young people who don’t #work, they’re targeting those more likely to be:

•Disabled
•Racialised
•From poor areas
•Care leavers
•Young parents
•LGBTQ+
•Facing mental health challenges

Not all young people—these young people.

My cat is completely convinced that whether she gets her dinner early, on time, or late is determined by the strength of her campaigning, when in reality it is determined by economic factors far beyond her comprehension. In this way we are not so different.

Cop: sit on that chair, we're gonna interrogate you

Lawyer (whispering): deny everything

Me (loudly): that isn't a chair
