‘Worrying’ levels of screen time means young people losing confidence to socialise in person, minister warns – UK politics live Culture secretary Lisa Nandy says ‘majority of young people spend all, or almost all, of their free time alone in their bedrooms, online’

This is not caused primarily by "screen time".

It's been caused by the mass eradication of third places for young people in basically every city over the past three decades - and a society that's hostile to the concept of teens socialising in public spaces.

back on his central park five shit

utterly disgusting

An eloquent image:

Setting aside the content under the tarp for a moment, teens were asked to make art expressing what it is like to be a teen, and the end result was a mural wrapped in a tarp by adults.

I bet a lot of teens would find this expressive of their experience.

Well said!!

her cornea ripped when she saw how many times trump is mentioned in the epstein files and her eyes popped out from the socket and made a “BOOOOOOOOOING” sound

The stage of capitalism where a failing car company is worth $800 billion because its CEO is blackmailing the president

Grateful to have a loved one take care of me while I'm on sick leave, but when they use that time to try and force you to play magic the gathering you wonder "at what cost?" Yes I am off work, but I'm also understanding how James Caan felt in Misery.

That's easy, Adam. They installed monster after monster while easily steamrolling your Party of cowards and rubes because even when you fell ass backward into power, you were such incompetent jellyfish that you rarely even slowed them down. And now you're praising one of the biggest causes of MAGA.

All jokes must be truthful even if obvious jokes

Making people laugh or smile when shit roundly sucks has far more value than whatever you call these posts

Yo relax dang

Stick to politics

gotta do these hearings remotely, anything else right now is judicial malpractice

This happened to my wife 3 times in Dallas, each time to the opposite end of the terminal this summer

honestly assaults against officers (a charge which is almost always bullshit, like you kick an officer while they’re tasing you) is a much better metric of officer aggression than it is of aggression towards officers

if you took a dementia test and thought it was an IQ test you failed both the dementia test and the IQ test

Disrespectfully, I need anyone who has not looked for a job within the past year to shut up because shit has changed. Your advice and experience doing this in the past means nothing. You have not job hunted like people are job hunting right now, don’t give people false hope with your outdated ideas

Democrats Are at a Historic Low Point. A Certain Kind of Advice Brought Them Here—and They Can’t Stop Listening to It. During the Reagan revolution, Democrats settled on a new way to win—and it’s destroying them now.

good and thorough explanation of how the Democrats got here that nearly made me chew my tongue off

Jason Isaacs white lotus

CREAM was on the Oldies station this morning

what happens when neither existing party is willing to do that?

4 panel comic, 2 people ask a much smaller third, "hey what's your job?", who responds cheerfully "I'm a game developer!" The two of them look down skeptically with furrowed brows saying "what game are you working on now?" The smaller person says nothing, as red stamp stylized text above their head reads "CLOSED" "SHUTDOWN" "CANCELLED"

I hate it here #gamedev

trump should’ve been in handcuffs in jan 2021 and there is no way to quantify just how much human suffering will result from the disastrous decision to slow walk his prosecution or even avoid it altogether

They are so good at making socialism sound awesome.

i’m sorry to anyone who put their faith in lisa murkowksi but i’m not sure why you did that

if young voters turned out like they did for Zohran Mamdani for every race, the Democratic Party would never lose an election again

so naturally, establishment Dems are…smearing him and refusing to endorse?

I know I’m the millionth person to say it but it’s incredible that these useless turds will mobilize for an all-out PR assault on a socialist in their own party but they won’t speak above a whisper in support of constituents and their families who are being disappeared by the secret police

They all gotta go

Lander is so effective at puncturing the ridiculous narrative right-wing pundits & media are spinning about Mamdani. Hoping more NY dems get behind this winning message.

Laguardia coming in that low invalidates this entire exercise
