Challenge for those who claim the stripper is only hanging out with me for the money: Explain how friendship works.

The asymmetry of the value placed on human life is so striking. Israel has a goal to recover 40-year-old remains; to do so, it invades a sovereign country, and the lives of 26 Lebanese are an afterthought. Their names not even worth printing in the New York Times.

Even if AI is successful beyond its boosters’ wildest dreams, there is still the inherent contradiction of a machine that kills off the people it needs to steal from

So according to the WSJ a US Senator conspired with another country to manipulate the US into starting a war, am I getting this right

This woman, US citizen living in Skokie, was detained at Ohare yesterday, taken to Broadview, then transferred to a detention facility in Wisconsin, now released. We know all this not because of DHS, who repeatedly denied that they even had her, but because her phone was pinging in those locations.

ours go forward at the end of the month for what is generously called "British summer time"

There's simply no way of knowing!

A post by that dickhead Robert Peston reads The final report of the Water Commission includes this calculation: "We estimate that over £85 billion has been extracted from the English water system by shareholders and affiliated parties since privatisation." Given the parlous, creaking, under-invested condition of Britain's water industry, this was egregious pillaging by shareholders that was licensed by successive governments and the regulator. As the report says, company executives and boards, regulators, ministers, all were to blame. It summarises: "this £85 billion represents a direct transfer of value from the public to private owners — a sum extracted while storm overflows proliferated, leakage targets were missed, and river health declined.".

From what I’ve been told by several human briefcases, it’s not economically viable to nationalise the water industry

Fuckin' bullshit that the darkest timeline is also the dumbest

Please, my kettle, it cries every time it boils, I think it's really suffering

This is not only incredibly weak, its false equivalence between Farage and Polanski is dangerous. One of them is a threat to liberal democracy, the other one is not. The text is a prime example of how radical centrism and the profound arrogance of self-declared liberals legitimize the far right

I'd say, you can always read what I wrote for the EQZ, but better yet, read both of Sam Lewis' pieces on the Eastern Azaleas.

By the time they returned to competitive fixtures, the football was much smarter + purposeful, and you could see how they play at youth level is benchmark for the seniors.
They will remain a curiosity in football, such is the nature of their home, but, especially for casuals, they can be a fun team.

I actually caught Korea DPR's last game before their four and a half year hiatus, because of course I did, and I thought they were a team that had been left behind and their competition bans had impacted them so severely, but they cut out so much of that deficit over the Covid years

They weren't doing any of that weird shit in February 2024

I used to watch a lot of football 🤷
