OPINION INTERESTING TIMES Did Women Ruin the Workplace?

Give me a chance, it’s only Thursday. I’ll ruin it eventually I’m sure.

DHS: ‘Daycare Workers Have Walked Freely in This Country For Far Too Long’

It's almost like... like maybe the fascism *never* actually arose from working class "economic anxiety"... like maybe the working class *weren't* actually the ones radicalised by bourgeois resentment of "cancel culture" and "wokeness"... like maybe the working class have... more pragmatic priorities

"All hot dog stands will be replaced with goat meat stands."

hold up. tell me more about that

also our political anthem is literally called the Internationale! it’s far more reasonable for us to care about NYC than it is for right-wingers to care about Trump

Ezra Klein This Is the Way You Beat Trump — and Trumpism

I saw a poll a few weeks ago that struck me. It was from The New York Times and Siena University. It asked Americans what they thought the top problem facing the country was. No. 1 was the economy. That was what I expected. But No. 2 wasn’t immigration or inflation or democracy or climate change or even Trump. It was political division. In that same poll, 64 percent of the country said we’re too divided to solve our problems. They’re not wrong.

I hear it when Trump says, “I hate my opponent and I don’t want the best for them.” When I hear that, I hear something scary, but I also hear an opening, an opportunity: In the end, most Americans want America to work. They know we disagree with one another. They don’t want us to hate one another.

I will never understand the pundit obsession with getting Democrats to solve "political division."

Not only is this what they're already doing, but Klein admits that Republicans will never do the same. So elections will remain constant GOP smears and simping Democratic promises of bipartisanship.

CCTV catches moment intruder torched asylum centre housing children Gardai have rebranded attack in Drogheda as a potential attempted murder after camera footage was released

So it wasn't fireworks. It was a calculated and deliberate attempt at the mass murder of men, women and children.

Irish media, international news: OMG Farage! Musk! 😭 “Populism” everywhere 😤

Irish media domestic news: let’s get Declan Ganley on again to say our democracy is corrupt and country overrun by immigrants. Oh and John Collison to tell us how to run the state as a techbro enterprise.

Politicians defending these despicable "legitimate concerns" protests have carried the ball up the pitch for the riots at citywest.
Thank God Eimer is there cause none of these people, TDs included, seem to give a shit when it's a white Irish man brutalizing, abusing, or murdering women or children

Would love the moratorium to return … #Rtept

Hello Bluesky. I'm here because Meta doesn't want me. Looking forward to post unfiltered, unhinged and un-whatever stuff here. Tell your friends!

‘Locked up for 24 years’: release of Palestinian prisoners and detainees sparks joy and sorrow Nearly 2,000 people, including about 1,700 seized from Gaza and held without charge, set free from Israeli jails

Freed Palestinian prisoners are barred by Israel from celebrating the release, or speaking to the media about their imprisonment, on threat of arrest and re-imprisonment or even death. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/o...

Clever by Norway to distract Trump from invading them in a fit of pique by giving it to a ‘peace activist’ who really wants him to invade Venezuela instead.

I think the Trump admin assumed no one would try to find out who the people on the boats they blew up really were

Tyneside Totenkopf Paralleling scenes across Britain, a summer of far-right phase shift culminated in a stand-off in Newcastle this weekend, as ‘stop the boats’ marchers were opposed by campaigners defending the North E...

Someone asked me earlier why I don’t do more than AI, and the answer is that every time I look deeper into AI I see more evidence that this is a massive, unbelievable failure, propped up by webs of debt and ignorance, private capital fully believes there’s massive AI demand that does not exist.

The FCC, Disney and Jimmy Kimmel The right gives the left a dose of cancel culture and regulatory abuse.

Dear fucking god.
BBC 6pm news:
Story one: over 100k Tommy Robinson demonstrators
Story two: the govt promises deportations of boat migrants to France will begin next week

Huh an awful lot of rhetoric shifted from Old Testament to New Testament over the past few hours

the permission structure created for a bloodthirsty maga rampage the last two days by mainstream media, all before any facts were known at all, deserves some real introspection by the entire industry

Every time a reactionary ‘taboo-breaker’ becomes a free speech icon/martyr, sacralisation demands that their critics are fired, silenced,threatened, purged.This gets called hypocrisy, but that would require free speech be a coherent idea, rather than the technology of power it’s always been.

“Such violence is antithetical to America” according to the Editorial Board of the NYT. They picked a fine day to muscle in on The Onion.

Looking forward to hosting this excellent conference

Just received news that 27 people have been arrested in Parliament Square under the Terrorism Act 2000 for holding signs saying "I oppose genocide. I support Palestine Action".
This is real police state behaviour.

Lisa Nandy used to be chair of Labour Friends of Palestine

obviously this is mental in and of itself but man alive it really does suck extra hard when you think about all the ACTUAL CRIMES the police just isn't investigating, because of "lack of resources"
