Wired:
Either population growth is too high so we need to cut immigration, or it's too low and we should encourage more babies. There is no 'more babies but less immigration' option that isn't explicitly and indefensibly racist.

The Far Side cartoon from 12/6/1987 depicting a ship full of revelers heedlessly sailing through a body of water with mines bobbing in it, a warship in the background, and a small raft with a couple guys and a gun in the bow. Caption: Through a gross navigational error, the Love Boat steams into the Strait of Hormuz.

This is AI, sorry everyone! This guy didn't make this. The guy he credits in his pinned post ALSO didn't make it. I found the guy who "made" it on instagram and he didn't make it either: a computer did. Oh well!

The hypocrisy is so dangerous. While signing us up for an illegal war & claiming it champions human rights of the Iranian people, the Albanese Gov is ramming thru new laws to ban people from #Iran with valid visas from entering Australia.

So Philip Glass just joined TikTok. He only has like 4 posts and they’re simply him in what I assume is his living room playing the piano. First comment on one I saw was “your piano is too close to the fireplace, you’ll dry it out” and if that’s not the internet in a nutshell I don’t know what is.
If a Dem victory in the mid-terms just leads to a series of hearings that make good content for social media and not much else things aren't going to get better. Accountability needs teeth, not likes.

Downfall. Kristi Noem Edition:
It’s not disingenuous to point out that the NYT did not run a single front page story of the Minab bombing. You don’t dispute this claim because it’s true. And the story that you reference on your webpage does not attribute blame to US/Israel and frames it as an allegation by “Iranian state media”
