Even if we get through all of this, future history books will be inherently untrustworthy because they will ignore things like how many men were radicalized because Netflix gave the titular (and underage) character in the She-Ra remake small boobs.
It's the Law of the Torment Nexus.
Oh, are you fucking kidding me
The fact that we can, currently, produce exponentially more food than society actually needs using only 2-3% of the population is probably the most revolutionary development in the last few thousand years of human history, and basically nobody has come to terms with it yet.
The Iran war should be a lesson for Keir Starmer's Government. If you take a clear line on an issue where the public agree with you then it's your opponents who end up having to back down, not you
Doesn't this basically boil down to scope creep of perfectly justifiable anti-terrorism legislation?
"PA couldn't be legally designated a terrorist organisation so we'll introduce a new law that allows us to achieve the same effect"?
βDnipropetrovsk oblast fully liberated as of todayβ
Can we focus on Ukraine a little more please?
Against all the odds & Donald Trump Ukrainians are doggedly winning this war, inch by bloody inch!
Ukraine matters more to us in Europe than Iran; letβs get our priorities right.
Mary Wollstonecraft, who published A Vindication of the Rights of Woman in 1792, is often called the mother of modern feminism.
But her ideas were far more radical than many realise.

As an IR professor, it's depressing that this is outperforming all others as the best theory of US foreign policy
I sometimes wonder if we just named "soft power" something like "tall turgid thrusting power" would these guys have been more in favour of it and thereby less self undermining.
Exclusive: Jay Graber is stepping down as head of Bluesky. Venture capitalist Toni Schneider will be the interim CEO until a permanent replacement is found.
"In one case, the UKβs Department for Science, Innovation and Technology said that there was no contract in place for a Β£1.9bn ($2.5bn) investment despite a press release declaring that one had been signed."
As an ex-vangelical, I remember purity culture in Texas and "purity ball" ceremonies in which young girls basically pledged that their fathers (or older adult men in the family) would safeguard their virginity.
Basically, girls would ceremonially marry their dads. And all because of sex.
Bad take. UBI is unconditional access to resources. It says, "I trust you. Show me what you can do." It is the power to refuse until the pay is right. It is the freedom to choose paid or unpaid work. It fosters community and societal participation.
And ending survival fear is a psychological need.
If you had released this yesterday, on International Women's Day, the misogyny would have been perfect...
Erm, only if you totally disregard women playing sport.

The 1980s North Sea oil windfall went on tax cuts and unemployment benefit instead of being invested by a sovereign wealth fund β a fact Reform et al never mention.
In 2024-25 the Netherlands had a populist-right government that yanked away a price floor and let the countryβs budding heat-pump industry collapse. How many more Dutch households might have gotten off gas by now if they hadnβt?
listen, this isnβt a lie, but itβs really close.
when you google it, the top source is Siskindβs own Facebook page.
the actual audio is just a meaningless blanket statement from which no one should draw any conclusions.
no actual news source has covered the quote, including Fox.
Reddit screenshot from Glasgow thread. Bright flames rising out the side of a Victorian building.
Video screenshot from Reddit. Building is now a shell with flames visible in every window.
The roof has collapsed embers rise into the night sky.
The fire at Glasgow central station is utterly devastating. Shops, homes and our transport link to England are being wiped out.
I am amazed by the limited news coverage.
Given Trump's illegal war that is devastating the Middle East and pushing up energy bills, Keir Starmer should advise the King to call off Aprilβs state visit to the US.
A state visit should not be given to someone who repeatedly insults and damages our country.
Some scattershot thoughts about Trump II, Venezuela, Iran and global order.
1. Combined, Venezuela and Iran show that the "spheres of interest" model some (including myself) had suggested Trump might be pursuing to replace the liberal international order is a red herring.

Kemi Badenoch and Nigel Farage want Britain to blindly follow Trump into this illegal war, even though the President has no plan for what comes next.
There is nothing patriotic about outsourcing Britainβs foreign policy to Donald Trump.
Truth social post from Donald Trump: The United Kingdom, our once Great Ally, maybe the Greatest of them all, is finally giving serious thought to sending two aircraft carriers to the Middle East. Thatβs OK, Prime Minister Starmer, we donβt need them any longer β But we will remember. We donβt need people that join Wars after weβve already won! President DONALD J. TRUMP
The Prime Minister must stand firm against Trumpβs bullying and avoid getting sucked further into this illegal and damaging war.
I love Aaron dearly.
I think listening to the amount of bullshit he listens to on a daily basis is definitely not healthy, but I remain grateful he does it so we dont have to.
