You’ll be too young to remember, but there was a time when you could wake up as many as three mornings in a row and not find the world had lost its fucking mind.

China hat in den ersten 4 Monaten von 2025 mehr Solarkraft zugebaut als Deutschland in den letzten 25 Jahren 😶 Wow. Einfach wow.

So, it turns out that tin-bronze wasn't introduced into the south-east mediterranean until ~1500/1400 BCE. Mostly with tin from either Cornwall or Afghanistan. Iron working was invented there within the next 200 years. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZCuT... www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

One truth we truly need to rally around is the uncomfortable but undeniable fact that Republican Party is best described as a hate group.

Boebert: What we’re seeing in LA is an insurrection Pritzker: You don’t know understand what insurrection is. It is outrageous that you are asking that when you are the one condoning the pardoning of people that attacked police.

Here’s a video of Stephen Miller in high school screaming that he’s “sick and tired of being told to pick up my trash, when we have plenty of janitors who are paid to do it for us.” This is the sociopath shaping our immigration policy and so much more

A few things 1. "genAi is a transformative work" - this lawsuit proves repeatedly how that's not the case, Midjourney makes exact copies 2. "they're going to settle!" for what? Disney and Universal want blood, not dollars 3. There's no way to unring this bell, you can't untrain these models

Good morning friends. This kid is spot on 👏🏼💙

Cops shooting a woman at point-blank range for trying to get to her apartment Very protect. Much serve. Cops are great

More people should be talking about the utter freak that is Stephen Miller and his white nationalist worldview. He's the architect behind most of this chaos as Trump is golfing, falling asleep during meetings, making money of memecoins and tripping while climbing stairs.

Interesting thread on more lies by Fox and Trump

10 June 1928 | A Polish Jewish girl, Golda Barmherzig, was born in Będzin. In August 1943 she was deported to #Auschwitz from ghetto in Będzin. She did not survive.

Ex-PM Olmert: Trump must tell Netanyahu ‘enough is enough,’ war in Gaza a ‘crime’ Former PM says Netanyahu ‘failed completely’ by not preventing Oct. 7 massacre; Palestinian ex-foreign minister says two states ‘only doable solution,’ sides must be convinced www.timesofisrael.com/ex-pm-olmert...

When the Greens said this, nothing. When the LibDems spoke up about how bad it was Labour were dropping this, nothing. Reform back it and its even a headline in the fucking Guardian. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

“…three things have much wider benefits for cognition: exercise, learning a language and learning a musical instrument.” on.ft.com/4jEXtab Who are you calling over-the-hill? The truth about brain ageing

Everything that’s happened over the past six months has been a response to an imaginary crisis. There is no immigrant invasion. No trade crisis. No scientific or governance crisis. Just people completely high off their own supply trying to fundamentally reorder society. None of this had to happen.

"Terrible things are happening outside. At any time of night and day poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes [...] Families are torn apart; men, women and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared." -Anne Frank

MOTION AGREED: As the size of UK cars continues to grow, we are calling for tighter limits on passenger vehicle size and bonnet height and higher parking charges for SUVs. www.london.gov.uk/who-we-are/w...

Worth bearing in mind that illegal entry is a misdemeanor and being unlawfully present in the country is not even a criminal offense, but a civil one. This is the equivalent of saying we need to torch the Constitution & send in the SWAT team to catch jaywalkers & people with overdue library books.

Those concerned about violence might want to start with violence against immigrants, by ICE here, by illegal deportations to gulags and third countries, the violence against so many federal departments, against the law, the climate, the public lands, waters, civil rights, reproductive rights...

This is an absolutely brilliant column by @rafaelbehr.bsky.social . Every Word of this. I would only add that I personally think that this started even earlier than Truss. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

there are so many thoroughly antisocial behaviors that would shock and disturb you coming from any other human being but are completely standard for cops

Watch the slow motion: it appears to me that the officers discuss the photographer and reporter before the one on the end fires on them (it looks to me like he's aiming at the camera, not the reporter, but you decide)

Probably the most dangerous thing in politics is when a leader needs conflict - when he depends on conflict for his political power, maybe knows no other way to hold on to power.

A shape-shifting sociopath (Vance)....... .....vouches for immutable psychopath (Stephen Miller). Let’s unpack..... 1/

On Facebook, my page has been shadowbanned since Aug 2018 On Threads, my account was frozen and then started to decline after the algorithm changes made in Nov 2024 On X, trolling increased by a factor of 15 and my follower count first froze, then started to drop after algorithm changes. (Cont’d)

Jeremy Bowen's long, measured, objective, but ultimately entirely clear and conclusive essay on Israeli war crimes. As Jonathan Sumption puts it: "These things make genocide the most plausible explanation for what is now happening." www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Every accusation was a confession "American carnage"

So, to be clear, Musk has now admitted he funded a man he believes to be a pedophile to be president. And Trump has now admitted that he gave access to high level government secrets to a man he believes to be a big time drug addict. This should be *the* story on the Sunday shows tomorrow.

So, was Florentine culture all about projecting soft power? A conversation with Ada Palmer paulkrugman.substack.com/p/inventing-...

Really interesting

Awww you guys - the Acting Director of ICE is really upset that we keep accurately refering them the American Gestapo and calling out their kidnappings. Keep up the good work everyone!!!

These are the words of former PM of Israel Ehud Olmert. I wish everybody would read this interview. Israel is heading for a catastrophe if this war doesn’t stop. www.newyorker.com/news/q-and-a...

Abs gutted to have been offline for a couple of hours and missed two high agency males engaging in phallocentric discourse

Post of the day.

Somebody tell Grok, there is a white South African getting massacred

This is a *fantastic* thread from the CEO of Kobo both taking people's concerns about gen AI seriously and clearly explaining what they do use machine learning for (defensible things imo). (Also shows just how useless the term 'AI' is these days; useful tech is being mentally lumped in with gen AI)
