This article made me literally shake with rage.

HOW is this not a @theonion.com article?

Lots of people are closet dualists when you unpack deep enough.

Counterpoint: Every single American anywhere in the world should be asked this question and if the answer is wrong, be given one chance to politely leave before they're thrown out. Fuck your vacations.

I am a 15-year-old girl. Let me show you the vile misogyny that confronts me on social media every day | Anonymous Objectification, hate, rape threats: the politicians debating online abuse mean well, but to truly understand, they need to see what I see

This is one of the most heart-breaking & important articles I have ever read - from someone whose voices are so rarely heard, a teenaged girl.

If you want to understand online misogyny in all its devastating impact, please read this shattering piece.

Super cool that we're doing global economic policy based on the daily whims of a sundowning racist. 10/10 great job American voters.

For the record I purchased 7 items.

The thing is that 10 years ago transformers hadn't been invented and most people (me included!) would have told you that it would be impossible to get in 10 years to where we are today.

But lots of people here are strangely confident about where this tech is going to be 10 years from now.

I swear to God Europe has the worst power plugs on the planet. Just absolute garbage. They either fall out of their sockets if you look at them wrong, or won't come out without a forklift. Just absolute clown show shit.

I hesitate to jump into this, but I think this is a useful illustration of the distinction between activists and academics.

Is this historically accurate?

Is this helpful right this minute to the people putting their bodies on the line on the streets of Minneapolis?

I came to Minneapolis to report on what's going on, and one of the main questions I showed up with is "just what is the scale of the resistance?" After all, we're all used to the news calling Portland a "war zone" or whatever when it's just some protests in one part of town.

Europe needs to realize that the only thing trump understands is strength. Cower before him and he'll ask for more and more. Smack him in the face and he'll run away like the scared little bitch he is.

A large fire

Tonight was the Falò San Nicolò, where the first of two factions in Pontremoli compete to see who can build the biggest fire 🔥

Assuming the internal temperature is that high, It's incredibly unlikely that anything pathogenic will survive except spores in which case you have bigger problems. I used to routinely leave heat sterilized bacterial culture media at room temperature overnight with just a foil cap.

Dmitry hits the nail on the head here. We have to pretend that the dumbest motherfuckers on the planet are serious people because a collection of the other dumbest motherfuckers on the planet decided to give them the keys to the car.

Halfway through heated rivalry and I'm 10X more invested in Hunter/Kip than I am in Rozanov/Hollander 😂
