An important part of racial segregation in public accommodations (that economists and economic historians regularly miss) is that it was NOT about racial animus. It’s about dehumanization and debasement. It’s using the public sphere to tell people that they are is not fit to walk the Earth.

Today people went around my neighborhood in north east London spray painting St George’s crosses onto people’s homes. Many of these houses have non British people living in them.

This is getting very dark, very quick.

State Department warns immigrants not to mock Kirk's death Deputy Secretary of State Christopher Landau posted the warning on Thursday.

“The State Department indicated it would review the legal status of immigrants ‘praising, rationalizing, or making light’ of Charlie Kirk's fatal shooting.”

Donald Trump just passed the largest transfer of wealth from the working class to the rich in history and the tech oligarchs are now lining up to praise him.

A screenshot of Facebook comments. The first, from somebody named Marcella, says "Wake up America! The encroachment is insidious and dangerous to our ideals and beliefs." In reply, Soren says "That's why we turned French when they started offering French classes, right?" Replying to Soren, somebody named Ken says "The French don't have a record of colonizing and conquering countries; and forcing their culture on the natives. Arabs do."

People are melting down at a Tribune article about CHSD 230 considering adding Arabic to its language learning electives. I wasted time in the comments, which I normally avoid doing since it's useless and awful, but it led to possibly the funniest thing anybody's ever said to me about France.

Israeli Government Social Media Urges Europe to 'Remove' Muslims | Common Dreams "What would the reaction would be if an Arab state wrote this about synagogues and Jews?" asked one critic.

The funny thing is animals actually can suffer and we slaughter them by the billions but sure let’s have an existential panic over whether a software program screams when we turn it off

They’re making fun of the media referring to Kilmar Abrego Garcia as a Maryland man as they threaten to send him to Uganda, a country where he’s never lived.

They’re simply fucking vile.

Law Firm Pressures Brown University to Erase Research on Anti-Wind Groups

Marzulla Law LLC, which has conservative ties and represents opponents of offshore wind, is demanding that Brown University retract research linking the fossil fuel industry to anti-wind groups. Otherwise, they're going to cry to Brown's funders, including the DOE, NSF, and the Mellon Foundation.

The threshold for a #famine according to the IPC is very high. To get there the human suffering must be immense.

Only months of lies about humanitarian access to #Gaza & extreme cowardice in Western capitals made this possible.

Electricity prices are climbing more than twice as fast as inflation Electricity prices are rising more than twice as fast as overall inflation. That's especially costly during the dog days of summer when air conditioners are working hardest. In addition to hot…

Electricity bills rising 2x faster than inflation. We have cheap renewables but this administration is choosing expensive fossil fuels. This is a policy choice.

300,000 Black women have been pushed out of their employment in the last three months. This resegregation isn't just racial, it's also heavily gendered.

Extortion of Nobel Prize is Hall of Fame level abuse of office. Every single Democrat should be mocking this clown for being so fragile, so insecure, so weak, and so openly corrupt.

The recent DOE climate science report misrepresents the work of many researchers. Carbon Brief asked those cited to review the parts of the report where their work was used, and we collectively found 100+ misleading or false statements: interactive.carbonbr...

Scientists say they cruised the ocean in a deep-sea submersible and came across an undiscovered ecosystem | CNN While exploring the ocean in a deep-sea submersible, scientists say they discovered a flourishing ecosystem capable of sustaining life without sunlight.

"What Du stumbled upon was a roughly 2,500-kilometer (1,550-mile) stretch of what her team says is the deepest known ecosystem of organisms that use the chemical compound methane instead of sunlight to survive."
Amazing scientific finding from the deepest sea!

South-South cooperation isn’t optional, it’s survival
Liberating knowledge production (Indigenous, non-Western) is revolutionary. Being "normative" – researching FOR the subaltern – isn’t bias; it’s justice.

Pod Save America: Do you think it's time to recognize a Palestinian state?

Pete Buttigieg: I think that that's a profound question that arouses a lot of the biggest problems that have happened with Israel's survival, Israel's right to survival, in the diplomatic scene.

I watched a compilation on YouTube about bands who were at each others throats and it was very funny to see these two. I don’t doubt that the breakup was contentious but it’s very funny to imagine them doing Scarborough Fair and then dropping the mics like ok motherfucker get fucking wrecked

Rent Freeze Proposal Chills Cash-Starved Owners of Bronx Buildings Democratic mayoral nominee Zohran Mamdani’s pledge is raising alarms as bankers refuse to finance regulated buildings where costs outstrip income.

This article on on NYC landlords unable to pay their expenses gives a foretaste of what I suspect the pushback to a rent freeze is going to look like. www.thecity.nyc/2025/08/07/b...

A man with a spectacular 1970s mullet, wearing big wellies and a v-neck jumper over a T-shirt, looks at camera as he stands on a boat which is itself standing on the muddy bottom of an empty canal. He is holding up an enormous wooden plug on a long chunky chain

Today is the 47th anniversary of this clearly unimprovable photo, from a story so absurd that it shouldn’t be true, but is: the day a team of workers from British Waterways pulled the plug out of the Chesterfield Canal, and all the water emptied out
