what does fascism need to thrive? Nothing. Because law enforcement is always waiting in the wings to do violence and engage in warfare with the very people it is meant to serve and protect.

It's crazy when you look at the final group standings - we only lost one game through the whole campaign and ended it by beating two of the traditional AFC powerhouses.

having gone down the rabbit hole of this account and their timeline the only sane explanation has to be parody.

The world's soup kitchen? Really? I think you can draw a pretty clear line connecting the world's humanitarian disasters with some action by the US and/or its allies

Yes it's time to consign this colonial imperial relic to the dustbin of history forever. Robodebt alone should have seen him removed from office and face judicial scrutiny. Yet here we are hanging some bullshit honour around his neck. Enough. While we're at it let's ditch the monarchy as well

These people need to be cleaned out of the party, they will never mobilize the people required to win an election with cowardly double-dealing bullshit like this

yep comparing any emissions to those released by the most populous country on earth whose manufacturing output is double that of the USA sounds like a totally reasonable basis for comparison

Being a staffer for an MP is one of the most toxic workplaces imaginable. Very few allegations of bullying or harassment see light of day and anything you hear is the very pointy tip of the iceberg.

Applying the maga maxim 'go woke, go broke' to the arts is not one of the dumbest things this government has done but certainly one of the more ironic.

That was beautifully written, thank you. As an aside, for those who haven't listened to it previously, Mercury Revs Delta Sweete revisited is a wonderful tribute to the original, with a great list of guest artists.

What makes it extra super weird is that it's exactly the same thing that happened eight years ago...

I remember in the before-fore times when anybody who was half serious about writing anything had a big ass dictionary beside their CRT monitor.

Yep I see them as a variation on the leopard ate my face maga types. Happy to throw the trans community, refugees, etc under the bus "for the greater good" as long as none of this stuff ever comes back on them

Journalists now are like social media influencers. Once they get big enough they will see what gets the most engagement from their audience and increases their following and double down on it.

Oh my god that's me! I never read those fucking deranged diatribes and that's exactly what I hear in my head. Except that my blah blahs are interspersed with me me mees

It's funny how when some people are confronted with abuse of human rights, corruption and treason their response is "but intellectual snobbery!"

AI to me is like theranos. This magical machine that will do perfectly amazing things except the reality is that there's all these people behind the scenes doing things trying to fix it so it makes it look like it is what everybody thinks it is

The GFC happened almost two decades ago. Soon there will be very few people around with memory or knowledge of how SIV unwinding supercharged the crash

Which they have been doing for a decade and almost nobody, still to this day, tells them to their face that they are lying and 100% wrong.

I used to hate going to the gym in January when all the NY resolutionists would turn up. I felt like they were less deserving and should yield to the regulars 😄

Born yesterday is one of my favourites of all time from that era. Judy Holliday is a treasure and should have been in many more movies

My car's air conditioning is controlled via the touchscreen and I hate it so much that I'm thinking of selling an otherwise, reliable, safe and economical vehicle

if news outlets don't give equal time to the ACTUAL history of South Africa and the systematic pillaging of a country by white colonisers who then created apartheid, there will be a generation of people growing up with this as their truth. Anyone dumb enough to vote for him will believe it

now that the coalition is done and dusted, the former partners are now minor parties with little or no representation in the major population centres. The media are a bit slow. It will take them a while to catch on

The moral failure of mainstream western media is nowhere better illustrated by the fact of that the times of Israel produces more critical content than almost all of them

I can imagine the cabinet meeting..."let's build a big dome that covers the whole country, you know, like they had in The Simpsons movie"

the GFC told us all we needed to know about ratings criteria/methodologies. Only structured finance ratings are purely mathematical and their robustness lives or dies on the strenth of the underlying assumptions. The rest tend to have at least one element that can be fudged to allow wriggle room

gutless journalists of the world unite to ask tough questions when it means nothing and they know they will get no pushback. They can all go fuck themselves

even where the books that are real like Bonjour Tristesse and Atonement, the basis of choosing them as "summer reads" is super weird

If anybody ever wonders why everyone in or associated with this administration lies through their teeth, it's all down to the simple fact that nobody ever calls them out for being liars.

Bessent is a hedge fund guy and has never run a real business. And the president, well we know about his truck record in business. People who run actual businesses crave certainty to plan and invest.

I asked AI why I'm as asshole and it didn't identify a clear theme. So I'm sorry, you're all stuck with my assholiness

My grandfather was born in Sicily in 1900. If he was still alive and someone said that to him he would beat them to a pulp with his cane

Well to be fair at least he would have died before the internet was invented so he couldn't subject us to dumb shit like that

I think your problem is equating increases in real median income to increases in standard of living or (this is more egregious) increases in wealth
