3. they sincerely believe that all the Jews have to be in the Holy Land in order to trigger a big war & all convert/die so that Jesus will return

First time having this happen, when actually possessing full confidential internal knowledge, is like a cognitive out-of-body experience.

You go back and you remember delicious shit you talked about all the companies and their staff before, and you realize.

Oh no – the universe does keep grudges.

Ahh. Fair if so. I only know what Shipwreck’s post said, which included ‘US. I’m can see Hegseth omitting that

That was a U.K. submarine

This is torture.

Great 🧵 with many links to what political science research & history can tell us about FIRCs:

Commiserations to Angeliki Stogia, Labour's loss is no reflection on the hard work that she alongside many activists put into the campaign.

Congratulations to Hannah Spencer and the Green Party, I'm pleased you beat Reform and to have another working class MP in Parliament.

From a Prime Minister who has told MPs and the public that they have to "understand" Reform voters, that those harassing migrants have "legitimate concerns" and has actively engaged in the "othering" of marginalised groups, this shows that he has abandoned those who once supported Labour. 1/

QFT - and in my case it wasn’t even rural, it was suburban New England. The rural bits were even more extreme. This is the underside of America, on top of

Screen shot from Paul Embery’s X account: Respect to this police officer.

It was definitely a new frame
I needed to learn. Now I speak both US and British and playing between the two can be fun.

Inspirational gold.

Sorry to hear. My mother passed of dementia in 2017. The last two weeks with her were a gift even though she was completely nonverbal and shuffling and spasticity - she still occasionally showed she knew what was going on and interacted with us.

Bezos isn't destroying the Washington Post because it isn't profitable. He's destroying the Washington Post because he's calculated that a robust free press threatens the ability of his class to warp society around their interests

It's amazing to see a party that won over 400 seats at the last election basically destroy itself through a combination of being afraid of Andy Burnham and needing to keep the most obviously corrupt nonce associate in Britain quiet.

Take me down to the Parallax city where the far moves slow and the near moves quickly

Everytime I have to use a full-size keyboard instead of my Moonlander I die a little inside.

A thread of MAGA protesting with guns and not getting murdered for it...

All the analysis of slowed down vids, angles and POVs etc. experts share aside, the conclusive take within hours by all corners of the administration labelling Alex Pretti as a domestic terrorist is the make-or-break moment of this event.
