yeah civility norms are good and violence is bad. The article very notably does not endorse Kirk's views. What's the problem here?

I will tell you if anything important happens

unfortunately you have to hand it to Yud on this one

The good thing is that everyone who matters seems to understand this. Almost everyone celebrating it is a random anon loser

it's so important that we all agree that you don't get to murder people for having bad opinions, even if the opinions are really bad. it's like one of the very top most important prerequisites for having a functional political culture

The aesthetics were better the first time around

There are similar posts on twitter but you have to look slightly harder

there's a lot here though. The fact that most of the top posts about it are either ambiguous on the question of whether they support the assassination or openly gloating about it says something

The problem with this is that it's disproven by glancing at either latest or top on the search page for his name. This website is full of people too immoral to oppose political murder on principle and too stupid to see that political violence isn't going to help anyone

I could have sworn I created this before on our Previous Parish, but couldn't find it so made it fresh.

Tony Benn's father and grandfather were also both MPs and overlapped with each other

Tony Benn and Hilary Benn overlapped briefly as members of the UK house of commons

ships have gps and shit now

The problem here is that he's not going to deliver on it and British people will continue to live under conditions of housing scarcity, not that he's echoing the form of a republican slogan

either commit violence against your political enemies or don't, but posting like this on bluesky is kind of pathetic

also Yggly was extremely early to Yimbyism, so if he was going to ruin it, it would have happened already

You might get that impression from being on the website where everyone is always frothing mad about Matt Yglesias for some reason, but most normal people in Australia don't even know who those people are

Bluesky is full of the type of person who reads Meanjin, but even the type of person who reads Meanjin doesn't read Meanjin

For some insight on why Meanjin no longer exists, put this into the bluesky search bar: domain:meanjin.com.au until:2025-09-03

so the claim that there's a trend in 2025 away from dishwashers is just 100% based on nothing

Dishwashers are among the least-used appliances in American homes - U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA)

wait no!

it looks like the claim that 20% of people with dishwashers don't use them ultimately comes from a US government survey in 2015

They make one actual statistical claim, citing "industry data" and linking to this webpage which doesn't actually mention how they came up with the number us.fotileglobal.com/es/pages/dis...

seems like more or less complete nonsense

article seems to be asserting a trend based mostly on a few tiktoks (many such cases)

no idea what those things are but KatAang is now my enemy

Bayesianism is rich, poignant and complex, frequentism is childish, boorish and obvious

Most anti-immigration Brits would be pretty happy to adopt the Dubai system I think. Foreigners are there as temporary workers and there's practically no path to citizenship

I believe so!

Unless you count a regular rat that happens to be in the water as a water rat

I think there's only one species?

I saw a water rat in the fetid waters of Lake Burley Griffin today, which is surely just as cool
