andrew tate’s skin looks like i could pinch it and pull his face clean off his head—like a magician with a tablecloth

Hate it when I'm vice presidenting and Jeff Computers keeps heckling me.

Adeyemi smacked that 🫡

At a minimum the possibility that future elections are going to be free, fair, or competitive should not be taken as a given. Not without stopping what is happening!

G'wan Nathan!

Thankfully, Europe investing huge sums in defense spending has never been a harbinger of doom.

Brewser sent me some delicious treats. Good way to start a week off.

profound evil

That deal the NHS made with Palantir looks worse and worse every day (and never looked particularly good in the first place).

Umberto Eco once wrote that Europeans are vaccinated by centuries of conflict on their continent. One of the most important things in today’s Europe is to call out those who doubt the efficacy of this vaccine. We have anti-democratic forces in our midst, now is the time to stand up against them.

Scrolling the timeline, trying to figure out what everyone thinks so I can think a different thing and seem very, very clever for thinking it.

The body language

Very happy that our paper (w/ @dziblatt.bsky.social & E Dinas) has been accepted @bjpols.bsky.social . We've seen the center right increasingly adopt far-right rhetoric. Our experiment in 🇩🇪 finds that this erodes anti-prejudice norms *more* than when the far-right employs similar rhetoric. 1/3

To celebrate the release of Flashes, please enjoy a splendid dog.

It should be illegal to make me do my work. I've been doing it three days this week and it's sickening.

Calling my fellow British trans folks and trans allies, if you do one thing today, sign this petition Justice for trans kids! 🏳️‍⚧️

I don't know how anyone can spend a single moment in this country and conclude we rarely talk about class.

This is a great list of things you can do right now to protect democracy. It made me think about supporting your local food bank too. If/when snap loses federal funding & folks lose benefits, food banks will be crucial support networks. protectdemocracy.org/how-to-prote...

Why are so many folks in the British media carrying water for this shit? AfD didn't win the election. Nothing is controversial about the largest and third largest parties forming a coalition. It's probably one of the most common outcomes when forming coalitions.

Replacing "I hope this email finds you well" with "Failure to respond will be taken as a resignation." in all emails from now on.

being obsessed with IQ is a good sign that you have nothing in your life to give you actual meaning. (also a good sign you have bell curve-esque beliefs about human equality)

The vast majority in Germany rejected the far-right, and the biggest gains were made by leftist parties that were vocal opponents of the far-right (and their enablers). We like that, don't we folks (even if the ~20% support AfD received is still deeply concerning)?
