"Apple users may get $20 each." lol. lmao even.

A strong sign that China is going to dominate is that they appear to be the only society that has managed to invent an internet that doesn't instantly radicalize and lobotomize elderly people.

The thing about "cancellation" that I never got is that when it happens to a super rich old guy (like Jon Gruden) the penalty is "go enjoy your retirement and don't bother anyone," and they act like it's a prison sentence and not how 99 percent of the population would want to live.

"Hundreds of people have disappeared after ending up in IDF custody. Either the army is refusing to provide information about these cases or, even more serious, soldiers are not documenting in any way how civilian population is being treated." A deeply troubling report.

They've internalized all their worst assumptions about their political opponents' agenda & want it for themselves. They want affirmative action. They want to be welfare queens. They want no one to dare speak a disparaging word against them without risking their job & their reputation.

Uh, as long as it’s just snow and ice

It's glorious. A work of art.

Peter Coy asked various folks — economists! scientists! me! — about their hopes for 2025. I said, "I have no hopes for 2025. Humanity is disappointing. We killed the Earth. Villains triumph and the innocents suffer. I imagine these trends will continue." www.nytimes.com/2025/01/02/o...

"The army forced us to march between dozens of tanks along a narrow route full of dead bodies and body parts. There were hundreds of children with us. They walked next to us and saw everything" | Testimonies from the inferno in north Gaza Hanin Majadli www.haaretz.com/israel-news/...

Just twelve aid trucks of food and water into the North Gaza Governorate in 2.5 months. Barefoot children forced to search through rubbish for food scraps across Gaza. www.oxfam.org/en/press-rel...

Anyone checked in recently with the Brexiters who touted the UK's chronic trade-in-goods deficit with the EU as proof of why we needed to get out? It's bigger than ever!

irony found dead in the gutter

🧵On the Broligarchs' Hostile Takeover of the US Government And why this is the logical endpoint of 40+ years of marinating American minds in the anti-democratic dogma of "everything should be run like a business." We're citizens, not customers; firms exist to produce profits, not public goods.1/x

propaganda is effective on everyone. we need to stop saying only dummies fall for it.

Some more great products that I fear are being kept from people here

maybe my neighborhood is better because it has brick oven pizzerias and craft breweries. did we ever consider that?

I truly struggle to give advice to dudes who are like “I bought my girlfriend/wife a sex toy & she likes it too much & now I’m insecure” Like… you literally gave her pleasure… dunno what to tell you, bro… As in sports, the successes of yr teammate are your successes too, and the toy’s yr teammate!

It’s true that medieval people were very ignorant compared to us today. For instance, they would panic over mysterious apparitions in the sky, or believe that a strongman leader was blessed by God.

Descansa en paz querida abuelita ❤️

we need a new mechanism for funding media, but progressives never gave a damn www.thenation.com/article/soci...

Trump has gotten the most generous press of any American in my lifetime and there’s not even a close second.

"We are standing on the rubble of the world that was, and we must have the foresight and courage to imagine, and create the world as it should be: more compassionate, more equal, more sustainable. A world that is safe from fascists and tyrants." Maria Ressa, Filipino/US journalist/Nobel Prize

The official portraits of the 17 House Republicans elected to chair committees in the 119th Congress:

Alright go off king

Trump es el reflejo de la conciencia colectiva de este país. Es un indicador del nivel general en el que se encuentra la mentalidad de la nación, lo que demuestra lo jodida que está la conciencia promedio en Estados Unidos.

"Strong women are always lonely women. Don't forget, women become strong alone"

Under the incoming Trump administration, U.S. support for Israel will be even more unwavering. Gaza will face complete depopulation. Meanwhile, the West Bank will undergo further ethnic cleansing, with expanded Israeli settlements and heightened displacement of Palestinians.

I enjoy reading articles about Californians who moved to red states like Texas and Florida and later deeply regretted their decision

The American empire will continue its decline, but the Trump family won’t feel its effects. Over the next four years, they will amass wealth on an unprecedented scale. The shameless and obscene manner in which they will leverage the presidency for personal gain,

La verdad, no soporto a la gente lamebotas, ni los entiendo. Es algo que nunca he hecho y nunca haré. Es asombroso el grado de humillación al que algunas personas están dispuestas a someterse para mantener un empleo o ascender de puesto. Ese espíritu de arrodillado me parece repugnante.

Me acuerdo del día que intentaron asesinar al payaso anaranjado. Lo primero que pensé fue: qué lástima que el muchacho tuviera tan mala puntería y no lograra hacerlo. La verdad, sigo pensando lo mismo.

very much "I'm not an abuser; look at all these women who support me" energy

I highly recommend the documentary 'Bread and Roses' on Apple TV. It sheds light on the loss of basic human rights and the courageous fight against oppression faced by the women of Afghanistan. Deeply moving.

We must remember that Vladimir Putin is a true Libran, born on October 7. We Libras are sometimes misunderstood; people think we are all about diplomacy and kindness, but they forget that Libra is the Iron Fist in a velvet glove.

Last year, when Erdogan won re-election, Vladimir Putin gave him one of the most adoring congratulations: 'Dear Mr. Erdogan, my dear friend, please accept my sincere congratulations on your re-election as president.

It’s uncanny how much Golani resembles Zelensky. It’s almost as if he has shaped his image to mirror Zelensky’s. He looks like a middle-eastern version of Zelensky
