love how we killed the old, frail anti-nuke ayatollah just to have him replaced with his young, healthy son who wants nukes and who just had his father, mother, wife, and child murdered on the same day by his mortal enemy. surely this will bring peace to the region
It's so fucking insulting how these people don't bother to achieve the most basic understanding of the issue they've dedicated their careers to.
As an effeminate gay boy I never experienced gender dysphoria! These are easily distinguishable concepts for anyone who actually listens to the child.
As a broad rule I do not write about myself directly but I can't deny my colleague Sarah anything so when she asked I obliged www.lonelyplanet.com/articles/gro...
Have you ever once seen the New York Times quote Trump like this?
🗣️ “Surely nobody should be in a condition described like that?” — guest presenter @newschambers.bsky.social
🗣️ “They shouldn’t,” — Fianna Fáil TD Paul McAuliffe

We knew the story of the international rules-based order was partially false. That the strongest would exempt themselves when convenient. That trade rules were enforced asymmetrically. And we knew that international law applied with varying rigour depending on the identity of the accused or the victim.
This fiction was useful. And American hegemony, in particular, helped provide public goods: open sea lanes, a stable financial system, collective security and support for frameworks for resolving disputes. So, we placed the sign in the window. We participated in the rituals. And we largely avoided calling out the gaps between rhetoric and reality. This bargain no longer works.
In the face of European leader after European leader meekly invoking “rules-based order”, “international law”, “closely monitoring”, “the UN Charter”…
It’s almost alien to see someone say “yeah, no, that was a lie and we all knew it.”

A 1932 map of the island, with the border prominent in red
Edited anonymously by Bulmer Hobson, the 1932 Saorstát Éireann (Irish Free State) Handbook was a thing of beauty, intended as both a publicity campaign for the new state and a celebration of a decade of Independence.

One of the main vectors of modern anti-vax is a Google cofounder’s ex wife using the fortune she got divorce to promote people like RFK Jr.
This isn't the first time I've heard this take but it remains as apt as ever.
In this lovely piece is the beautiful kernel of the delight of small talk and how it builds a sense of community and safety, word by word. It's something I've noticed since I moved back home www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

This is not the AI boom creating a new type of work, this is a classic example of managers using automation to deskill old ones. Creative workers who once made a higher wage creating original art and writing are now paid in piecework to edit automated output. Bosses are using AI to cut labor costs.
Four journalists were killed by an Israeli strike on a Gaza hospital today, including Mariam Dagga, a freelancer with the @apnews.com. She has a 12-year-old son, who was evacuated from Gaza earlier in the war.
She was a true hero, like all of our Palestinian colleagues in Gaza.

It cannot be denied: this is a deliberate and coldly-calculated famine, engineered by a technologically-advanced state which knows exactly what it is doing.

"Still wired out of his mind from the cathartic corporate rescue" Hmmm.....
Man Wheel of Time has some of the most insane visuals on tv right now. Every episode might as well be The Red Wedding with the amount of crazy plot going down. A fearless adaptation of difficult material. Don’t sleep on this show. #renewWOT #wheeloftime
