Not saying my cat plays records when I'm out, but the claw damage to the spines tells me she has good taste on the whole.

it took just over a year to get from "I'll lower costs on day one" to "I'm raising prices and it's good, actually"

This is Nathan Cavanaugh, another DOGE staffer explaining how he flagged grants at NEH for "DEI" which would be reviewed for termination. 404 Media has reviewed hours of this footage and we'll have more soon.

They're always only ever sorry they were found out. He wouldn't have done it if he'd cared enough at the time

β€˜Age Verification’ could force trans people to out themselves to use the internet ο»ΏAfter Kansas suddenly invalidated hundreds of trans peoples’ licenses, experts warn the discrimination will extend to online spaces.

Over half of U.S. states have passed a form of an online age verification law.

These laws pose a unique threat of outing transgender people or blocking them from the internet entirely, especially in places where they are unable to access accurate IDs.

We all deserve anonymity and privacy online.

He's very definitely a racist maroon now as well, so why even bother posting about him @radiobeartime.com ?

Irish coins of different sizes, showing a horse, salmon, bull, hare, hound, hen, pig and woodcock

Irish coins of different sizes, showing a horse, salmon, bull, hare, hound, hen, pig and woodcock

In 1926, as a member of the Irish Senate, W.B. Yeats enthusiastically took charge of the committee designing new coinage for the Irish Free State. Yeats decided the different denominations should be symbolised by different animals (was he consciously thinking of this as the β€œtails” side?) 1/2

AI Used to Promote Non-Existent Evacuation Flights From the Middle East - bellingcat A Dutch newspaper published a story about private evacuation flights from Dubai, but the photo shows signs of AI generation and the flights appear never to have existed.

A Dutch newspaper reported stranded travellers in the Middle East organising evacuation flights to Europe. Open-source checks suggest the story may be false: the organiser’s image appears AI-generated, and there is no evidence the flights existed.

You're supposed to just be bled dry. You're the cash cow. Know your place! What are you moaning about? At least they'll be able to holiday in Mauritius this year, rather than last year, when they had to slum it in Monaco. Don't think about struggling to pay your rent. You have to think only of them

Volunteering makes people feel happier I think & less angsty about the world. It makes a difference to my mood and sense of helpfulness. The second interviewee mentioned local businesses support them. This is why it’s of value to shop locally (not delivered from around the world). See photo for why.

War mongering media don’t have more votes than anyone else.

They try to ridicule us.

They try to silence us.

But we keep growing the movement.

We oppose war.
