When house hunting, you must learn to think like the house. โ€œI sure hate fire,โ€ etc.

Damn. This is amazing. ยฃ325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy:

I think they put sugar in pasta dishes in parts of europe, like in the countries north and east of Italy. I bought some sort of tiny dumplings from an ethnic store that was kind of like sweet mac and cheese. It wasn't awful.

Jane Goodall on animal agriculture: "The lack of understanding among the general public is disturbing, because if more people knew what went on in the factory farms they would be less willing to eat the flesh or drink the milk resulting from... torture."

I think aliens are real but they donโ€™t have any special knowledge or foresight. When they come to some guy and say like, โ€œHumans unite. Atlantis real,โ€ theyโ€™re just telling us stuff they saw on alien Reddit

Greta Thunberg says she is being detained by Israel in cell infested with bedbugs Activist tells Swedish officials she has been subjected to harsh treatment, including insufficient food and water

Swedish citizens have been detained on international waters by Israel, put in jail and treated with torturous methods - and the Swedish government hasnโ€™t acted, hasnโ€™t expressed anything, doesnโ€™t seem to care. Itโ€™s appalling.
They are tearing this country apart.

There's a good reason why Blue Labour, the self-styled socially conservative but economically radical outfit never has anything to say about latter.

New study: Research shows liberals have worse mental health than conservatives. But what if you ask about "mood" to avoid possible conservative stigma around "mental health" issues?

A: "When respondents were asked to assess their mood, the gap between liberals and conservatives disappeared. Conservatives were actually somewhat less likely than liberals to provide a highly positive rating of their overall mood."

Gutted at the news that Kaleb Horton is gone. Kaleb was a brilliant writer, of course, but he was also a gifted photographer. Years ago I encouraged him to sell his pieces. His work was so good, I told him, and people should see it.

Here are some of his beautiful shots.

Merle Haggard, Son Of Bakersfield Kaleb Horton reflects on the passing of his hometown hero

One of the best pieces by Kaleb Horton ever is no longer easily available, because of course MTV wouldn't maintain actual good music writing done for its site once. Thankfully I found it again via some digging: his 2016 memorial to Merle Haggard on his passing. Link here, screencaps to follow.

When autocratization is reversed: episodes of U-Turns since 1900 The world is in a โ€œwave of autocratization.โ€ Yet, recent events in Brazil, the Maldives, and Zambia demonstrate that autocratization can be halted and reversed. This article introduces โ€œU-Turnโ€ as ...

โ€œ52% of all autocratization episodes become U-Turns, which increases to 73% when focusing on the last 30 years. The vast majority of U-Turns (90%) lead to restored or even improved levels of democracyโ€

There's a tremendous amount of insight in this post from @himself.bsky.social on power as coordination. As he notes, absolute power is a contradiction in terms, because someone who's absolutely unconstrained can make no commitments and so can't give orders. www.programmablemutter.com/p/repost-abs...
