You know you’re a 90s kid if you remember when the U.S. government would at least make up a fake reason to attack the Middle East

people love to say "you should read conservative opinion pieces too" and every conservative opinion piece is like "corporations should have the right to vote but minorities shouldn't. source: I made it up"

The literal worst version of it has to exist first if you're ever going to get anywhere, so you might as well embarrass yourself by writing it

The real lesson to take from Gorton and Denton is for the future of UK democracy | Institute for Government Westminster is dangerously underprepared for a multi-party future.

"If casting a vote starts to feel more like participating in a lottery than making a positive and principled decision, then voters are going to become ever more frustrated." First Past the Post can't handle multi-party politics. www.instituteforgovernment.org.uk/comment/gort...

I deleted the Instagram app over a month ago because I realized I was getting too much advertising and it was too easy to doomscroll for hours. This reporting only confirms why I won't redownload it.

part of why the right wing wants to consolidate control over entertainment and not just news media: the Watchmen series (and the discussions / organized efforts around it) probably at least doubled or tripled the amount of people that knew about Tulsa

YouTube video by New York City Public Advocate "I'm the first US elected official with Tourette Syndrome and I have some thoughts about BAFTA"
