I'd just like to point out how weird it is that places with hundreds or even thousands of reporters — the NYT, WaPo, CBS, NBC, AP, etc. — are all getting pummeled on every major story by the dozen computerboys at Wired. To fumble the bag this consistently is, at some point, cowardice and a choice.

The use of swearing to relieve stress, anger, pain or frustration is known as ‘lalochezia’.

Copaganda and Me Maris Kreizman writes about the way police are mythologized in popular culture in this excerpt from her book 'I Want to Burn This Place Down'

Rolling Stone has excerpted an essay from my forthcoming book. It's about what happens when you get all of your info about the world from the TV (cops are heroes!), and then go out into the world and see for yourself. www.rollingstone.com/tv-movies/tv...

Imagine spending your whole life cos-playing and fantasizing about fighting the federal government sending troops in against its own citizens only to root for the government when the moment finally arrives

So, Wes Streeting, private health firms have given you shedloads of money without expecting anything in return and it’s only a coincidence that you want more un-evidence-based, expensive NHS privatisation?

FFS, Labour, after 14 years of Tory lies, people deserve better than this.

Ten years ago nobody in their right mind gave a single crap where trans people went to the toilet and the only reason anyone does now is because they were radicalised by Facebook and a handful of insane newspaper columnists and that’s just embarrassing all round

This is phenomenal.

Sea surface temperatures are >5C above average to the west of the UK and around Iceland. It's the strongest area of anomalous warmth on the planet at the moment.

It's the warmest in recorded history for northwest Europe.

A wonky faux-football sticker doodle of Bradford City footballer Antoni Sarcevic. He is depicted have removed his shirt after scoring a 96th minute winning goal to win promotion for his team, with a pitch invasion and general bedlam going on behind him. The drawing is, at best, a four out of ten effort.

BRADFORD CITY got promoted in bananas fashion with a 90(+6)th minute winner at the weekend so we thought we'd do some doodles to celebrate/commemorate and also maybe upset some people 🧵

Bradford City's 'Aguero moment' tops everything I've seen as a football fan Bedlam, bear hugs and tears - this day was a reminder why people love sport

The last day: Do it for them The final game of a Bradford City is also a poignant occasion, and that’s especially the case this year.

Why start queuing in one lane when two lanes are still available? Makes no sense! Zip together nicely at the merge, happy days.

Main road through Bradford goes from 4 lanes > 3 > 2 > 1 > 2 and back to 1 again. Bradfordians are pro mergers. We all have Audis and Beamers and are wankers.

I wear the bright orange one on site. Not technically hi-viz, but definitely highly visible!

It’s been on Anfield, The Hawthorns, St Andrews and Edgbaston in the last year.

After beating Accrington tonight, Bradford City have 53 points after 30 games - their most at this point of any season since 1998-99 when they were promoted to the Premier League.

Eight home league wins in succession for the first time since January 1968 ✅ #bcafc #bantams

My relationship with Big wasn’t the only thing I blew up that day. At the Trinity test site I detonated the first plutonium bomb, unleashing a 22 kiloton blast. Had I become Death, destroyer of worlds? Meanwhile uptown, Samantha had her hands full with her own “Manhattan project”

Typed graphic stating ”When I was in 7th grade, our teacher put on a video and told us to take notes. Ten minutes in, she threw the lights on and shouted at Steven Webb Sadki, telling him he wasn't taking notes and he should have been. But the thing was, Steve was taking notes. I saw it. We all saw it. The teacher asked if anyone wanted to stand up for Steve. A few of us choked out some words of defense but were immediately squashed. Quickly, we were all very silent. Steve was sent to the principal's office. The teacher came back in the room and said something like "See how easy that was?" We were reading "Anne Frank." I started to understand. I just thought now was a good time to share this story. Don't ever let anyone tell you that what you see with your own eyes isn't happening.” With the words READ IT AGAIN AND AGAIN. AND THEN AGAIN written large yellow letters at the top

Pleasantly nostalgic. Baffling deployment of hyphens by a senior journalist.

Mark my words. Those who are made to feel they are a "burden" in our monetised society will disproportionately agree to be assisted to die: women, the disabled, the chronically ill... If in a few years' time the figures are not skewed towards these people, I will be amazed.
