*IRAN'S IRIB: EXPLOSION OF AN OIL TANKER NEAR ABU DHABI

Since the days of Henry II, the right to a trial by jury is one of the common law’s greatest gifts to the world. It would be a terrible shame if Labour threw it on the dustpile of history for many offenses.

You misspelled delicious.

Yeah tbh I'm also not happy with doing an Olympic parade for Eileen Gu. Like go get that bag whatever but one thing you should give up in that bargain is adulation from your actual countrymen

It's not a bad strategy if you want to be a 50 seat party but not going to turn you into a 200 seat party

And so we write to brilliant postgraduate students from Sudan, withdrawing the offers and scholarships they won in open competition with the best in the world. A sad day for the University of Oxford.

A large part of the sin is that the CCP literally attempted to kidnap Liu and Gu seems to have been entirely unfazed by this.

I am well aware that ppl like you and RFK Jr. can't tell the difference between a GMO and Satan.

I like economic systems that let me get out-of-season fruit and veggies from across the globe any time of the year I want.

Corn? I'll have you know I enjoy my corpo-grown carrots, mushrooms, berries, fruit, rice, and potatoes, too.

Not to mention the corpo-made dairy and meat.

All 0.00000000000001% of the country fed by farming collectives, anyway.

In this case, you're agreeing with a capitalist, not a Leninist.

Reaping what I sow: prosperity and civilization.

Hell, replacing small farms with large corporations is all upside. Have you seen how farmers vote? At least large corporations have to employ lots of educated ppl with tolerable moral values.

I am happy to get rid of the smaller farms. And there's a fuckton of other jobs immigrants can do. There is no rule of the universe that immigrants can only toil on farms.

Franklin was right (colds spread from person to person in confined spaces, essentially articulating germ theory) and Adams was wrong (people catch colds from the cold air).

Argentina has already been taken by Satan. Who do you think runs their economic policy?

To destroy each government agency, Musk would install his people (covert DOGE) in top agency roles, then send in a non-covert DOGE team to "consult"

Together they would announce "DOGE and the agency have agreed to massive cuts"

But that's no agreement, it's just DOGE on both sides of the deal

When DOGE needed executive power it was USDS, a previously-excellent government tech shop that DOGE parasitized for this purpose. When it needed to avoid responsibility it was a vague "policy agenda" containing no real people.

So, one answer: DOGE is no one.

Another answer: DOGE is all the people who are refusing to answer questions about DOGE.

Slack messages between me and Thomas Shedd

I also directly demanded clarity, several times, on the role of DOGE and Elon Musk at GSA. But I just got the run-around, same as everyone else who asked.

‘Who Is DOGE?’ Has Become a Metaphysical Question The acting head of the General Services Administration says it has no DOGE team. It merely lists at least a half-dozen DOGE affiliates on payroll and has a section of its building for DOGE use only.

The executive order establishing DOGE directs a DOGE team to embed itself in each agency.

When directly asked who was on the DOGE team at GSA, acting administration Stephen Ehikian flatly claimed "There is no DOGE team inside of GSA"

So who were the kids sleeping in bunk beds at GSA headquarters?

When DOGE showed up to my agency, GSA, and started interrogating us, they first refused to identify themselves. Wouldn't even give their names.

This didn't work well for them, so they started saying whatever did work. The guy who interrogated me said he was GSA.

Good question here. I wish the strategic ambiguity of DOGE had been more widely reported, because that was the source of its power.

Now that DOGE bros are showing up in court, we'll see that intentional ambiguity stripped away and we'll find out who gets left holding the bag.

This is the most over-the-top (bad) lawyer-written government declaration I’ve ever seen.

jesus christ gemini i feel like this sign is an antipolish hate crime

lmao

The bourgeoisie has subjected the country to the rule of the towns. It has created enormous cities, has greatly increased the urban population as compared with the rural, and has thus rescued a considerable part of the population from the idiocy of rural life. Just as it has made the country dependent on the towns, so it has made barbarian and semi-barbarian countries dependent on the civilised ones, nations of peasants on nations of bourgeois, the East on the West.

Also I guess on @surcomplicated.bsky.social's specific example we got one of those Problematic Marx (and Engels) passages wherein he pretty explicitly celebrates this exact kinda thing

Goodnight, CapitalismSky. Tomorrow we wake up and continue our valiant service towards mankind whether they understand it or not, like a cat needing their arthritis pill.
