No matter how bad you think colonialism was, it was worse. (And it's not actually over.)

"UK museums hold more than 263,000 items of human remains from around the world, including whole skeletons, preserved bodies, such as Egyptian mummies, skulls, bones, skin, teeth, nails, scalps and hair."

there's so much bad in the world but there's also people who lift up and carry an elderly bat around every day so he can pretend he's flying again, and that's the part of the world I think is worth fighting for

There is absolutely zero explanation for hitting targets like this unless your objective is to destroy any possibility of normal life and produce mass civilian death. Completely unjustifiable and another war crime. We saw this thirty years ago in Iraq.

OMG - that's me 35 years ago. Quick catch up since then - he sent me a load of shit poetry. Turned up uninvited to my hometown. Couldn't get rid of him until he ran up a very large tab at my local pub. He then ran away. Not heard from him since. I'm now nearly 60 and, after a succession of rough and vulnerable, but largely unfulfilling, types - ran away to the west coast of Scotland 9 years ago. I've been living in a caravan since my arrival here, right near the shore and am now a very happy, firmily committed singleton.

the confusing thing to me about extended masters/1000s: you increase the draw and add days, but now the first two days (where no Top 32 seeds are playing) always feel like a soft open. and i find it odd that this is desired. i get the money argument. i just...hate the money arg? feels flat.

What privacy? Meta's smart glasses are filming unwitting naked people Meta's Ray-Ban smart glasses are a privacy nightmare, with footage of naked people, sensitive information, and violent acts captured and seen by Meta's AI and an army of employees.

Play at the ATP Challenger in Fujairah, UAE has been canceled for the day because of an oil refinery fire caused by drone attacks.

This is absurd. Why they ever continued with this tournament is beyond me.

Treating the threat of literal death like it's a rain delay that they hope passes.

I know that I sound like a broken record but I think once this society was ok with accepting mass covid deaths just to be able to eat at Applebees then all bets were off.

Baby gets measles at 7 months of age. Survives but measles isn't done with him. When he is 7 years old, he gets Subacute Sclerosing Panencephalitis, which is fatal

I guess when you've recently shitcanned your entire Middle East reporting team, the only alternative is to sit on your duff and wait to see what the utterly trustworthy military found out.

Just left Mexico. Police activity at the airport was insane. Polite suggestion to the @atptour & @WTA -- and to Larry Ellison: get one plane to Acapulco and one to Merida and get everybody out of there -- and put them up for an extra week at Indian Wells to train and be safe. This is not a drill.

appealing to Larry Ellison is ironic given what's occurred over the past day. But I don't expect a similar post about "getting everybody out of" Dubai

Bombing Iran in the middle of negotiations, while starving Cuba, while genociding Palestinians, while threatening to invade Greenland… the US and Israel are the single greatest threat to humanity and it’s not even close. We are all forced to live in the nightmare they create.

The first deaths announced from the US-Israeli strikes on Iran: dozens of school girls. They hit an elementary school in Hormozgan.

The timing of the initial strikes is unusual.

Often you see these types of operations launched in the pre-dawn hours at the target site partly to limit civilian casualties.

This operation began at the beginning of a work and school day, with millions of adult civilians and children in harms way.

The Labour Party now think I am a far-left extremist because I support policies that were in the 2017 and 2019 Labour Party manifestos.

Israel is responsible for two in three journalist killings across the globe in 2024 and 2025. The Israeli military has committed more targeted killings of journalists than any other government’s military since CPJ began documentation in 1992.

While the men are laughing at DJT’s misogynist jokes, 2x Olympic gold medalist, 2x PWHL champion & 2x NCAA champion Kelly Pannek is speaking eloquently about Alex Pretti’s death, the power of community, and leadership in groups of people with disparate opinions.
