sorry to jump in, I watched Pedro Sánchez press conference today, he made it very clear that he does not want to cooperate with the US and explained what he will do and which social policies will take to mitigate the effects of the war on spaniards. He used the anti–Iraq War slogan “No a la guerra”

It's so funny that in Victorian Britain being woken up was called being "knocked up"

I was reading a Sherlock Holmes story where Watson mentioned being knocked up by Sherlock and I was like WHAT

The knocker upper limit

I think one of the things that bothers me the most about the way Polymarket presents itself to the world is that it's adopted the language of journalism to make itself sound more legitimate. Like look at this post from yesterday morning incorrectly "projecting" the winner.

Immigration Minister Erica Stanford apologises after inflating overstayer figures The government has been accused of scaremongering about overstayer numbers after Erica Stanford told reporters there were "tens of thousands more" than she had expected last month.

...nothing. Literally nothing. We already had this conversation when evopsych and data science tried to do "Big Data History" and we don't talk about it anymore for a reason. Guys. We're not idiots. Coding doesn't actually change every field every time it happens.

RFK Jr. wants Dunkin’ to prove drinking its iced coffee is safe - The Boston Globe The warning comes as Kennedy is leaning heavily into his agenda to improve American diets.

This moron has no idea how much of a third rail this is. If he goes through with a public fight with Dunkin he will never live this down. In the words of my people "fuck ya motha."

NANCY MACE: What is a woman? Have you learned that lesson?

Just got this email and didn’t even know I had @moderation.bsky.app blocked but now I don’t lol. But I guess permanent suspension is happening if people block? Yikes.

Looks legit too? Just started my day and wasn’t anticipating this

I guess in this case it's a little more like, if you use Uber to order the forbidden burger king combination (which I'll assume you can't get through the burger king interface) etc

Or if either system glitches and thinks that happened

Why Apple’s move to video could endanger podcasting's greatest power - Anil Dash A blog about making culture. Since 1999.

Apple's got a lot of announcements this week, but one huge risk might get overshadowed amidst the noise — the way they're adding support for video podcasts threatens to enshittify the last truly open online media. It's not too late to push them to keep it open. www.anildash.com/2026/02/28/a...

The moon going from full moon to a red moon and starting to go back to a normal full moon, then my camera battery door fell off.

Here's my first edit on the March 3rd Lunar Eclipse. 15 moon shots, 1 foreground. Taken over a 3 hourish period.

So I watched an erotic thriller last night, and the part that really moved me was when the beautiful protagonist was sleeping alone in what looked like a really comfy bed. Wow, I thought, that looks like a lovely sleep. 🥹💖

Covid hospitalisations climb as New Zealand enters new wave There’s been an increase in hospitalisations and in wastewater detections, and it’s expected to last another month or two.

There were 19 reported covid related deaths last week and a big uptick in hospitalizations. We're in a wave.

We haven't been hearing much about it, so I'm pleased to see this article on Stuff.

I think about this take more often than I'd like to.

The media won't talk about it but the biggest political story now is that Trump has lost the most important voter demographic: uncles

RESULT: Democrats have flipped a state House seat in Arkansas.

This is their 2nd flip of a legislative seat so far in 2025 (after a Texas flip in January), & it adds to a tremendous trend that started last year, when they flipped 21% of all GOP-held seats in play: boltsmag.org/legislative-...

Can someone write about the rise of Black social gospel movement Christianity in American politics? Should it be me?

Cuz yall know everyone is obsessed with talking about white right wing evangelicals
