(If within your means, I think they're still selling these. I recommend the Lemon-Ups with their lemon sugar glaze and sassy sayings written on each cookie.)

Miller just declared the sovereign nations within our national borders enemies. Same for the sovereign nations that make up the UK, Canada, Norway, the Netherlands, and Denmark.

And if intolerance of their existence is the answer, Catalunya, Basque Country and the Irish would probably like a word.

"within its territories" is doing a lot of work. The Irish Potato Famine, the genocide of Indigenous peoples in the Americas, the genocide of Congolese by King Leopold and on and on, all happened within the "territories" claimed by these pillars of "the West"

He's expressing genocidal intent.

"Sex for Gold, produced by Africa Uncensored's reporter Tracy Bonareri, investigates sexual exploitation in artisanal gold-mining communities, where women are forced to trade their bodies for access to gold."

The irony. DHS is the #1 reason people fear coming to the US for the World Cup.

Save your money, stay home and throw the biggest BBQ/asado/braai/nyama choma/bulgogi/etc you can.

Gather with your neighbors until we learn to love our neighbors too.

a thing historians will marvel about when they study this era is the extent to which the "war is a thing that happens to poorer, browner people" class went about systematically dismantling every aspect of the global political order that confined the costs of war to poorer and browner people

Meta won’t let morality get in the way of a product launch What a great time to add facial recognition to everything!

“Just because you are outside of your home doesn’t mean you have consented to having a random bozo collect your face and your name, the latter of which can enable them to search for your digital presence or even home address. The act of existing in public should not carry those risks.”

It's for when it's not motorcycle weather.

My rage is incandescent. It's like Theresienstadt in reverse. Cruelty and dehumanization of children is the point rather than the Nazis' pretend kindness as propaganda.

If you're just following orders and those orders involve stealing crayons from kids, quit your f-ing job!

We are announcing today a policy of retribution against the innocent, specifically targeting the old and infirm.

Whose his pastor? Where's his catechism?

The press should refer to him as a lapsed Catholic. Anything else is misinformation.

The Crown also tried to circumvent jury nullification by moving trials to admiralty courts because the revolutionaries kept getting acquitted by juries of their peers.

I trust - not fully - that my fellow New Yorkers will know what to do with this BS.

Just AWFUL on all fronts. He survived a genocide only to be killed by racism and xenophobia in the very place that supposedly gave him asylum.

if I’ve learned one useful thing in ruling and ruling and ruling, is that nowhere else does the power of any regime, no matter how tyrannical, lie than in the fear of the multitudes! I promise you once the governed lose their fear, then it’s absolutely game over for the regime! ― NoViolet Bulawayo

Hey Sam Altman, ChatGPT 6 should just give derek guy responses and tailoring recommendations. Monetize it any six ways from Thursday, but you'll be printing money no matter what.

I need people to understand that "AI" used in moderation isn't necessarily the "AI" of ChatGPT + friends or synthetic text extruding machines, or LLMs. There's stuff lumped under "AI", as the term is a marketing term, that is actually useful and important for flagging stuff on social media.

And you are right to do so. Serve me risotto in a wheel of parmesan but leave my naan alone.

A Pro-American is someone you thought was American but was actually foreign. Canadian comedians are maybe the best examples of pro-Americans. Aussies are close 2nd.

So to comply with the FCC, I'll be watching all of SCTV and the Mad Max trilogy to celebrate the Semiquincentennial.

Bukharin as the author of the NEP. Kept the rural masses on the Bolshevik side, or at least, not in violent opposition.

Paul Volker comes to mind

Some real dog shit reporting. Love it.

"For every heartwarming scene of a New Yorker helping their neighbor dig out of the snow, there are seemingly 10 other instances of people letting their dogs defecate on the social compact."
