historians -- when did defacing buildings start getting called "violence" in the press? it always seems kind of strange to see it equated with violence against, you know, people

Has any man ever looked more like a circumcised penis than Anthony Taylor? Not meant as a criticism or judgment, just a fact.

Israel has already killed least 51 people in Gaza since the ceasefire came into effect, now it’s resuming airstrikes.

No Democrat should vote to keep the government open unless ACA funding is restored for the millions of Americans at risk of losing health coverage next year.

Remember that this funding is on the chopping block because Trump and Republicans want to give the richest Americans a giant tax cut.

One of the key ways you refuse to comply with fascism is by becoming even louder and more fearless in supporting vulnerable people. You SHOW that you are unwilling to throw the "undesirables" under the bus if only for self-preservation because under fascism you will also become undesirable one day.

Jack Grealish thinks we’re all stupid flopping like that. It is literally impossible for him to fall forward with those boulders on his calves acting as counterweights. The man is a human weeble wobble and I refuse to believe differently.

Debate is a hobby.

It’s not a thing you do to understand another person.

Listening is a thing you do to understand someone.

Grealo instantly so much more likable now that he’s not a City player anymore. May he achieve everything he dreams of.

Home ownership, especially on the cusp of recession, is crazy. Because what do you mean I’ve spent four days agonizing over which kitchen trash can is right for me?

Bookshop: Buy books online. Support local bookstores. An online bookstore that financially supports local independent bookstores and gives back to the book community.

I just switched to the bookshop.org app on my phone for purchasing/reading ebooks and am enjoying it fwiw

it is not harmless. from mass consumption of drinking water to stolen art to putting humans out of work to regurgitating Nazi talking points, AI is quite harmful.

There are already cities where AI centers have water priority over people. We need to boycott this shit.

at their core, trans rights, abortion rights, and vaccine rights are actually all the same issue: they’re all about bodily autonomy, and the willingness to concede any of them puts the others at risk.

La. regulators approve Entergy power plants for Meta’s AI data center Louisiana Public Service Commissioners voted four to one to approve Entergy’s three new gas plants to power Meta’s largest-ever data center.

Louisiana has to build three new natural gas power plants to accommodate the "AI" data center that Meta just crammed through because said center will use *Three Times* as much electricity (and, thus, attendant resources) as the *Entire City Of New Orleans*, every year.

Y'all this isn't sustainable.

My dad and I were texting about Erling Haaland’s decision to eat a giant tomahawk steak before City’s season opener. I apparently responded in the wrong window, and I regret to inform you that I immediately passed away from embarrassment.

Pointing out how safe DC by showing the low crime rates isn’t going to convince conservatives because β€œpeople breaking the actual law” isn’t what they mean by β€œcrime”. To them, β€œcrime” includes merely seeing black people, unhoused people, and anyone else the bigots clutch pearls about as β€œcrime”

Our defence is a massive concern. Has been all pre-season. That’s without even talking about the lack of options at centre-back. Already concerned that it’s what is going to be the downfall of the forthcoming campaign.

#LFC have done great work with the LGBTQ+ community, which is under attack at present. Signing Marc GuehΓ­ this summer would send exactly the wrong message after the defender defaced the rainbow armband. We need a centre-back, but it shouldn't be him. More: www.andcouldheplay.com/why-i-hope-l...
