Long-time buddies Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols were out for a pleasant van drive in Oklahoma when, all of a sudden, their lives would change.

Wold, making as little sense as during the pandemic largely (when she was taken Completely Seriously).

Sorry folks, I'll never stop reposting stuff about how idiotic this woman is and was, given how much space she's been given over the years in the Swedish newspapers.

True of our kids for sure, alas. I am reading a small book currently on Ancient Empires (for some definition of the word) and most of these were untouched in school, maybe had two pages max in a textbook. And certainly almost nothing on the later history of these areas.

Last year, I finally read "The Religion of Technology" by David Noble, and it was a useful intro on the millenarian movements - I wasn't aware of the depth and length of these types of beliefs before that.

This and the fact that instead of having the forest come to the rescue of Helm's deep, they got a bunch of elves. Again.

+1 on woods, that's awesome. I am restarting next week (need > 9C for my shit lungs), but, sadly, I need motivation to do it more regularly.

Nice! There're 5km and 10km Blodomloppet runs in Stockholm early June (flat, around Djurgården) if you're looking for something to aim for (also at the end April on Lidingö but that's (a) soon and (b) not flat at all 😅).

This woman, US citizen living in Skokie, was detained at Ohare yesterday, taken to Broadview, then transferred to a detention facility in Wisconsin, now released.

At Largest ICE Detention Camp, Staff Bet on Detainee Suicides, AP Reports Camp East Montana has received several 911 calls in the span of five months about immigrants trying to harm themselves.

Staff at the nation’s largest Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention facility have placed bets on which detainee will be the next to die by suicide, according to new reporting from the Associated Press based on 911 calls and detainee accounts.

If you say that it is “throwing Jews under the bus” to correctly call Israel an apartheid state and raise the legitimate question of whether the US should give aid to Israel, you abandon the grounds to call out actual antisemitism at a time when it is rising.
