Britain and India were united by garments and spices until that Ghandi guy ruined it.

Opponents of this theory say there is no evidence for any of this and no button could possibly exist that could be pressed to do this. But what if there was?

Hilarious editorial today by Amit Segal in Israel Hayom that posits that Khamenei is about to "pull a Hitler" and fire everything the Axis of Resistance has at once, including having a million-man Houthi army invade Israel through Jordan.

Awesome, I said with such pain in my voice it was unclear if it was illness or anguish

genius strategy by elizabeth warren and company to stand up and clap for trump saying people shouldn't make exorbitant money off of being in congress, setting herself up to be humiliated for being willing to stand up and clap for him, before he immediately went to start attacking somalis

*****LOCAL NYC OBSERVATION, IF NON-NYC, PLEASE IGNORE*****

Pedestrian crossings got completely cleared within hours over where I am in Upper Manhattan, when after the last big snowfall a couple weeks back, it took days. Nice to see actual, obvious improvement in a city service.

So it's ok to start a war illegally against a nation of 92 million, for whom you have "no sympathy" as long as the purpose is clear?

The Big Dem line that Trump is a demented fascist domestically while simultaneously agreeing his foreign policy decisions just isn't gonna cut it anymore.

i've decided not to listen to the audio of a teacher reporting a kindergartender because frankly I don't want to become the person that that event would turn me into. but one thing I hope we are collectively coming to grips with is what it meant that we have lived among such people this whole time

End of January #Israel illegally sprayed herbicide across its borders into #Syria and #Lebanon. Affected communities are concerned over the impacts on agriculture and health. We used satellite imagery to track the 55km long affected area. A thread 🧵1/x paxforpeace.nl/news/israel-...

Saw the trailer for the newest Taylor Sheridan show and had to stop myself from bursting out laughing. Why is Will Arnett here as the brilliant therapist

Screening was 98% men except for an Orthodox Jewish couple in the row in front who seemed to have a genuinely lovely time

A perfect and beautiful evocation of the childhood feeling of seeing your friends on the small screen suddenly make it to the big one, going on a grandiose adventure no other kind of screen could possibly hold. Run, don't walk!

IDK but there is a specific thing where people respond to any brief post you make as though it encompasses all of your thoughts on the matter that drives me a little nuts lol
