I categorically refuse to listen to anybody for whom "It could be worse" is immutable scripture while "It could be better" Is an unrealistic fantasy.

Prince Andrew's Arrest Across the pond in Britain, justice and accountability is a serious matter

Never in a million years did I ever fathom when I resurrected the Epstein story in 2018 that it would lead to first arrest of a British Royal in four centuries. Not since King Charles I was arrested in 1647.

Dei por nada

I regularly see people wondering how it's possible that there are so many musicians and writers and film makers and artists from a tiny nation like Iceland.

And the answer is really simple: State funding for art education and artists. I literally get a salary from the government to write books.

Watching people use ChatGPT in public feels like environmental storytelling for a sci-fi horror movie. Like seeing extras drinking a new soda that will be revealed to contain a zombie virus at the end of Act 1.

Penso que o pior passa até amanhã, sim. Pelo menos nesta fase. Muita força!

A minha aldeia está a ruir. Sei que a situação está reportada na Protecção Civil mas não vi até agora ninguém, nem um carro de bombeiros, nem um GNR, nada. Sei que não têm mãos a medir mas que consolo nos dá isso? Nenhum tipo de suporte sequer para o terreno em frente que vai caindo sem oposição.

It’s never been more important for everyone to be a little less stupid.

BAAAAAAABE BABE BABE BABE WAKE UP THEY’RE RECREATING THE 2008 FINANCIAL CRISIS FROM FIRST PRINCIPLES

Oh, it's far worse than that. Society as a whole realized the harm - potential and direct - almost immediately.

It's just that the people that run the world decided, even as the corpses piled up, that they just didn't care and were going to bet the entire global economy on radium toothpaste.

hard to think of a better example of "you may not believe in class war, but billionaires know they're in one" than this

Posso dizer-vos que o diretor do departamento de meteorologia do IPMA acaba de dizer na televisão que não tem memória de uma depressão tão grande como a que nos vai chegar na terça/quarta-feira.

o mesmo aqui em portugal. lamento, mas esta conversa sobre imigrantes, “hindustânicos” e “monhés” é mesmo o que parece. uma legitimização do racismo latente em milhares de miseráveis quase indigentes que encontram ai o seu pequeno poder sobre outros, ainda mais fracos.

jeffrey epstein being the first domino for the financial crash, video game micro transactions, and Gamergate is making me lose my mind

worth noting that the second rich people stopped being afraid of mobs tearing them limb from limb, they stopped building libraries and opera houses and stuff and started ripping the copper wiring out of the walls of society instead

"Conspiracy" is just what elite class solidarity looks like if you only look at one node on the graph.

An gif from Glass Onion. Beniot Blanc shakes his head and says "It's so dumb."

How can it be that it all just comes down to "they're chasers and if trans people have rights they're harder to sex traffic?"

THEY STARTED A FUCKING GENOCIDE BECAUSE THEY WANTED SEX SLAVES!

Jesus fucking Christ how can the world be this dumb.

Shot and chaser from new Epstein batch

we're being ruled by a dying pedophile with dementia because another pedophile collected all the scientists and nazis he could into one big network and then died, leaving them rudderless

the speed at which these guys have broken everything has given a lot of folks who should know better the impression that they are an unstoppable force and the only option is to negotiate the terms of surrender

just because the clown car goes very fast does not mean it isn’t full of clowns

Reborn Hybrid - Commander (Niv-Mizzet Reborn) Hybrid concept deck, hidden voltron within the dominoes.

Would be a great replacement for Niv in this list moxfield.com/decks/lLq-JL...

The main goal is to just play dominoes while the table keeps on commandering

I think a lot about Parmy Olson's observation that AI companies actively push everyone to talk about existential risk, because it distracts from more prosaic current day concerns like copyright theft, conditions for data workers, energy & water use, and their financial situation

Das poucas potências que vejo realmente interessadas em fazer pontes

What is most amazing is the need to revisit logical explanations each and every step of the process.

Can't wait to have some schmuck proclaim the end of history in 50 years or so, again

You could actually structure your moral code around the idea that law enforcement doesn't exist to execute people. You don't have to create perfect victim narratives, you can just refuse to accept that the state gets to kill people.
