The feeling I had when I learned that the number of men who ask their girlfriends to go hiking and then speed ahead leaving them lost is significantly higher than zeroβ¦

Every pronatalist argument Iβve encountered seems like it could be solved by a robust immigration system that allowed more people to move here. The reluctance to entertain that solution tells you what the real concern is.
fuck me for being this person, i guess, but public universities are a civic good and shouldnβt be run like businesses. and if youβre going to insist on running them like so, at least do some market research. students like their professors; they donβt want MOOCs taught by ChatGPT.

Mamdani angers certain journalists and their bosses because he's a well-educated child of privilege like they are, but he's the way he is and they're the way they are and it shames them and they can't deal with it. It's not hard to figure out
I suppose it is nice to see the senate glass ceiling has been shattered for affairs by senators that wildly careen into ridiculously inappropriate professional conduct.
An FAA rule proposed during the Biden administration would have required companies like Elon Muskβs SpaceX to safely remove spacecraft from orbit within 25 years of launch.

Especially in the Irish strongholds of the Northeast, it was VERY heavily felt - the US reactions to Bobby Sands's death are as good an illustration as any; there were memorials to him in Rhode Island being erected as late as 2023 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bobby_S...
Yeah, as I said elsethread there is *far* more cultural/religious/political similarity between Ian Paisley and Jerry Falwell than between Paisley and any mainland British figure of the time (except maybe Mary Whitehouse)
There's some irony in Americans being less awareness of the Protestant side of the conflict during those years, as the DUP always seemed to me to be more similar to the then-emerging US Christian right than just about any other anglophone political movement in the world during the 1980s.
Exposing racism is a useful pass time.
I really do think the US has more cults than anywhere else and we dont even label some of ours!
SPEAKING Of our now lengthy threads about American perceptions of Irish politics (and Irish American politics) here's the new Bowery Boys Podcast episode on Creating the Streets of the West Village.
in hindsight, it feels like this was presaged by their dependence on articles that were paying someone peanuts to scrape some tweets. for every fantastic, substantive Buzzfeed article (and there were many!), you got a hundred βhereβs 20 other peopleβs writing that we didnβt compensate them forβ
