Guess it depends where they sit on the nature/nurture/environment spectrum - some Trumpers might have enough goodness to be rehabilitated.Then there's 'southern hospitality' type - people who'll do good acts/help strangers but in a selective way, contingent on whether their prejudice kicks in first

Golden retriever boyfriends and ick lists: gen Z’s dating rules are making them ‘constantly disappointed’ A steady stream of viral terms and online guidance is leading young people to reduce prospective partners to checklists

There's an article in The Guardian that tackles this & hits on some of the same points

Seismic recording that shows horizontal lines with a slight wiggle to them.

Horizontal lines across the page that get thicker with wiggles near the bottom of the page.

The horizontal lines are very thick.

The page is almost black because of the thickness of the lines.

4 days of seismic records from a seismic station in Jamaica shows Hurricane Melissa roaring towards the island.

Hurricanes increase the amplitude of ocean waves which beat on the coast and sea floor. These produce Rayleigh waves that can be seen as increasingly thick “wiggles” in seismic records 🧪

If you want action on Climate Change understand it is the Billionaires who own Fossil Fuel who make $4tn a year, $126,839 a second, who also own the Media and all the other Big Business who stand in your way.

They don't need convincing, they know, they need to be stopped.

Kwazy kwarteng has the same level of self-awareness & political acumen as Truss. Whatever he recommends, the opposite probably holds true.

Guess I should feel lucky I've never heard of her until now

Imagining: Going back to 2005 and telling myself that a Blackwater mercenary with a Nazi tattoo is running for Congress. As a Democrat. As the leftist. Oh and Donald Trump is president.

I don't care how corny you think it is. There is something to be said about the visuals.

Because seriously, try to make someone explain why you need federal law enforcement and the national guard to combat a bunch of goofballs in inflatable frog suits.

You can't justify it without looking stupid

Saw some folks saying they didn’t believe Greta Thunberg had been tortured by the Israelis so here is her account. Itamar Ben-Gvir personally oversaw it.

A capybara sleeps on the shoreline, surrounded by turtles & ducks, while 3 ducks have hopped on the capybara's back to rest. There's also one turtle nestled by the capybara's head that looks like it's being used as a makeshift pillow.

And this; ducks & turtles chill out around a napping capybara

This hippo always makes me smile for some reason

How to Win a Rigged Game The Civil Rights Movement is worth studying not just because they were right, but because they won.

what's actually happening is in the first instance a war for narrative control, not physical control. blinding a troop with a laser, to use a technical term, "looks bad" to normies. being normal and peaceful at masked thugs "looks good" to normies.

Imagine that

US anti-fascism expert blocked from flying to Spain at airport Rutgers University professor who published book on antifa was informed at boarding gate that his trip was cancelled

An outspoken antifascist US-born citizen was stopped from leaving the US. This should terrify you.

(BTW, this is not to imply this is ok for non-citizens or naturalized citizens.)

If you didn't vote for Harris, you are complicit. There was no excuse.

Lol "currently not a fan of my own country" oh you mean the racist, pos country whose foundation was built on slavery & stolen land with a list of war crimes bigger than anyone elses...? That's the country you're not "currently" proud of?? Lol Myopic american pos

Sanctimonious k nt, u can't even grasp how ur perceived outside ur own country.
Wonder how many dumb fks mad at Bill were non voters in the US election.The American left is so useless they couldn't even work out how to keep a fascist dictatorship away from power so they complain about someone else's

Like performing in America is any better than performing in KSA, get over yourself. You're both guilty af of war crimes & atrocities, so don't act like a comedy festival in Texas would be any better than Riyadh - people would avoid visiting the US for the same reasons they would avoid Saudi Arabia

The only comedian who nails that format (for me) is Sam Morril

lmao, kristi noem wanted a black bloc fight and got an inflatable rave instead. fuck you DHS, rip city forever.

A highland cow having a little nap on a boulder on Dartmoor (ok, it was actually scratching its head)

Highland cattle are famous for their ability to "disco nap". Normally these brief, efficient sleeps will last between three and twenty minutes, deploying a variety of objects as pillows, including moorland boulders, cars or any particularly large dog or sheep who happens to be nearby.

He's definitely insightful but surprising sometimes how big his blindspots/knowledge gaps are. He's a flawed human being & a comic, not a leader. Wonder how many people mad at Bill give their money every day to companies operating in KSA & rationalize it by saying it doesn't change the status quo

Gotta say I'm a die-hard fan who's willing to give him the benefit of the doubt. He wouldn't have spoken so candidly about the experience if he didn't have a glaringly big blindspot & zero self-awareness of what he was doing. His family were probably foremost in his mind when he made the decision.

This is what they want & were expecting to see - race riots. Everything the trump administration is doing is to get a "are you triggered yet" response so they have an excuse to ramp up the authoritarianism. msm seem happy to help & play along for clicks

Global solar and wind power surges despite US green cuts under Trump Renewable energy held back in world’s biggest economy while growing in India, the Middle East and Africa

Global solar and wind power surges despite US green cuts under Trump

The IEA has cut in half its forecast for renewable energy growth in US this decade, and upgraded its forecast for India by 10%, putting it on track to become the 2nd largest renewables growth market after China.

This is great. The absurdity of this moment captured. Make it go viral.

I think this covers the intersecting core issues. But I think the basic issue here is relatively simple: bad leadership responds to criticism erratically and viscerally, rather than listening, evaluating, discussing… Bad content moderation is fixable, but not if the leadership sucks.

The Useful Idiots Fueling the Right-Wing Transphobia Panic Today on TAP: Prominent center-left journalists were swindled by obvious nonsense about a St. Louis gender clinic.

who could forget when TFP published a totally dishonest hatchet job on a youth gender clinic from a bilious transphobe that (again) turned out to be bullshit, and she refused to take that down too prospect.org/blogs-and-ne...
