former salafist

(there is (famously?) only one of these in nyc, though there are some private neighborhoods and streets. surprised to find it is a thing in any modern major city, but I suppose it’d be more likely in the older ones?)

The Greens flipped a seat that was safer for Labour than more than 90% of the seats Labour won in 2024.

For an American equivalent, imagine Democrats losing to a left-wing third party in Georgia’s 4th, a heavily Black district in Atlanta’s suburbs that went 76-23 for Kamala Harris

this strikes me as cope. It’s not like Elon buying Twitter but it’s not like they’re an irrelevancy. The truth of the matter is nobody should be allowed to buy them, at least nobody in the same industry, for obvious reasons. The proposed combo is bad for the industry and bad for audiences

these things are not more bound by logic or sense than they are by cui bono, so that doesn’t mean much by itself. I can’t bring myself not to be maximally cynical about these guys (almost all guys) in particular

The Trump administration has just deleted this photo of Trump Cabinet Secretary Howard Lutnick with Jeffrey Epstein on what appears to be an island.

We gotta let the Warners out of the water tower, they'll put a stop to this

I wonder if they’ll do the obvious, proper thing, or if they’ll just go with Air Bud logic. The money guys don’t have as much pull this time so I think it’s at least not improbable we see the latter

all they know how to do tbqh, when they aren’t too busy raping, thieving, and kidnapping

heavens! i couldn’t possibly know to what you are referring good suh

exactly, this way feels like much more of a slap in the face

Is paying for Trek less ethical than paying for Harry Potter should be a serious question, btw

The truth of the matter is that nobody should be allowed to buy Warners. Failing that Netflix was always going to be a better steward than these motherfucking lickspittle nepo-babies

this shit is just made up man. It’s like a co-pay, extra bullshit to discourage you from paying that doesn’t actually discourage anyone, so basically a shakedown

eh, I don’t think this can just happen with a normal president and a mayor that isn’t a generational political talent

like a fiddle. incredible

Senate Bill 79: A Triple Hit: Environmental Degradation, Anti-Democracy, and Declining Affordability

me: building more housing near transit is good because it makes housing more affordable and reduces car ownership

the Sierra club, for some reason: actually this is horrible and must be stopped at all costs.

Had MTA increased frequencies on the F line? Is this the result of deinterlining

Possible

I don’t even know who that is, man am I not plugged in anymore

…what happened

these ppl really are sick bastards.

The most trivial shit imaginable upsets these assholes. But not concentration camps or children dying from preventable illnesses or billionaires starving hundreds of thousands for a tax cut.

Patrick Swindle is the CEO operating the Dilley concentration camp. There are people behind this. They must go to prison.

(No I am not looking into that guy’s past y do u ask)

The most recent example I came across for this was much nicer/benign (the Arima Kinen guy, whose name is literally horse-haver 有馬)

We can’t have nice things

I am realizing this

Yeah I was making a general statement, not a recommendation for any specific case and especially not a situation where you put yourself at serious risk (beyond you know, messing with someone that vicious)

am hoping generally that’s how ppl think

What even is there to report man, if just being a kahanist were enough then we’d both be screwed, let’s not pretend it’s one guy here and there
If I knew the person was actually a card carrying member of the JDO or JDL and out to murder ppl that’s something else
