It is completely unacceptable to attack Kemi Badenoch either because she's black or because she's a woman. Racism and misogyny should have no place in our society. We should be attacking her because she's a bigoted, tory bastard. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...
My lab's been attacked by an anti-wind group and their lawyers. They threatened the science funding of my whole university, to shut me and my undergraduate research assistants up. NYT just covered it. 1/n www.nytimes.com/2025/08/25/c...
The beerita, a margarita-like drink with beer, is a refreshing cocktail that’s incredibly easy to assemble. Here’s why that is bad news for Democrats.
World War 2 ended with the unconditional surrender of Germany and of Japan. JD Vance doesn't even know history.
"whispering".
Lol. You're not winning. You're just such a victim of your own mediocrity that you think that cunts like Trump care about your concerns.
'haven't spewed mindless bullshit' he says as bovine faeces spills from his cranium. Cowardly little shitposter is too scared to use his own name.
MAGA is a genuine evolutionary dead end.
Bari fucking Weiss.
Tbf, the world champions can source funding elsewhere.
Start wars? Sure.
Maybe you should check your history and check on which Zionists worked with Eichmann.
You sound like an apologist for apartheid in South Africa, or a Nazi propaganda minister.
Maybe because they shouldn't be refugees?
Maybe because the Israelis have threatened Egypt. Egypt doesn't want to be the seventh neighbour that Israel has attacked in this decade. Maybe it is more complex than your Zionist brain can comprehend.
No journalists in Gaza because Israel won't allow it. Not because they're scared.
When it is forced removal. That's a crime.
It's not that complicated. Blackmail a judge? Just one? Of the... er... Thirteen?
Are you a aid hasbara operative? None of what you're claiming is even remotely true.
"But the conversations between U.S. and Venezuelan officials stalled in part because two U.S. officials made different offers to the Venezuelans, leaving them unsure whom to trust, the people said." Why does this seem like every other thing that the Trump admin does?
Lol. 'Losing culture wars'. How shallow is your cognitive ability really? Rhetorical question. Please feel free to spew some more mindless crap that you learned on the interwebs because you're such a leet shitposter. So sad, but anyway, back to the humans...
One in a thousand? Seems charitable.

![Travis Kalanick, the founder of Uber who no longer works at the company, appeared on All-In to talk with hosts Jason Calacanis and Chamath Palihapitiya about the future of technology. When the topic turned to AI, Kalanick discussed how he uses xAI’s Grok, which went haywire last week, praising Adolf Hitler and advocating for a second Holocaust against Jews. “I’ll go down this thread with [Chat]GPT or Grok and I’ll start to get to the edge of what’s known in quantum physics and then I’m doing the equivalent of vibe coding, except it’s vibe physics,” Kalanick explained. “And we’re approaching what’s known. And I’m trying to poke and see if there’s breakthroughs to be had. And I’ve gotten pretty damn close to some interesting breakthroughs just doing that.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:qlnirjwff4ibiw3wchmleszo/bafkreiac2szurc5dnw6klquhpjmo7iafg4n6fwmrqyred7jrrph6h6mptq@jpeg "Click to view full size")
if you took a dementia test and thought it was an IQ test you failed both the dementia test and the IQ test
This is such horseshit. There are literally no international press in Gaza to report on anything directly. Yes, Israel is the reason for that. Your argument was horseshit in 2014 and it hasn't improved with age.
What if dinosaurs were just birds, and not vice versa?
Also, you should try using roasted garlic for a sweeter version.
Pesto can be made from just about anything. The thing that you were referencing is a particular type of pesto - Pesto Genovese. But your version sounds great. You should try with a oilier nut like a cashew or macadamia for a more creamy result.
This was funny when Father Ted explained it decades ago.
The future of humanity has been sacrificed on the altar of 'shareholder interests'.
Well, the reason that right wing populism is pushing that as a story is that the narrative is enabled by the corporatism which has been strengthened by neo-liberalism. The reduction of governmental control over key parts of the economy simply enables oligarchs to exert political power.
Part of the issue is that in a centralised planned economy (like China's) it is possible to mitigate the short-term issues that are introduced by capitalists. Unfortunately, in the west, neo-liberalism has robbed governments of the power to do that.
The 'newspaper of record' should know how to spell.
The US empire is ending. The loss of soft power effected by Trump's aid cuts and isolationism will just accelerate it. Welcome to Chinese hegemony.
Grrrr, Wordle. Learn to spell.
It is you that is not arguing in good faith.
500 years. So about 1500 generations. Okaaay.
No. That's specious. The whole point of storage is to overcome that limitation.
Yes. Sure. It just costs much more. Takes far longer to implement and is getting more expensive all the time. Unlike solar and batteries which are getting cheaper, are faster to build, do not have such a complex regulatory regime. Nuclear may have its place, but the future is renewables.
That's nonsense. While the process is understood, the process of building a nuclear power station is massively complex, even before you consider the regulatory regime. Compared to load balancing it is orders of magnitude more complex.
What exactly is the half life of U235. Round it down to the nearest million years.
Bullshit.
Except that none of your reasoning stands up.
They're all specious arguments.
Space is not a real issue. So the argument is specious. Nuclear is massively complex, expensive and time consuming to implement. Grid balancing is orders of magnitude less complex and expensive.
You seem triggered. Is it because you're a fucking loser?
The hard part, here, is that — while being parody — this will likely happen at some point this year, so it's also a prediction.
Pressing? Maybe. Urgent? Not so much.
It's like Elon's reasoning that we need to leave Earth because the Sun will change to a Red giant in the next... er... Seven billion years.
The closest star to our solar system is more than four light years away. It would literally take us 1000 human lifetimes to get there, and that's just the closest one.
It takes decades to leave our Solar System, but we'll be colonizing the galaxy in... er... four and a half years?
I'm no expert woodworker, but even I can see that this machine would require that you had VERY good medical insurance. The video is literally a list of things not to do with power tools. www.alibaba.com/product-deta...
I do love a stock standard ggplot graph. I really hope that those lines continue to decline following the USAID debacle.

Explaining Rugby to the Eastern Cape. Ok... Seems... er... unnecessary?
Not to mention that being on Mars will not help humanity. The distance from Earth to Mars is trivial in relation to a dying red dwarf star.

This isn't the whole story. The Democrats are so beholden to corporate interests that they simply won't fix things.
@mattduplessis.bsky.social I thought that you may appreciate this one.
He's not an Afrikaner. It's like calling all Americans hillbillies.

Analysis | Donald Trump's corruption is breathtaking. But Democrats don't have a leg to stand on because nine years ago, it was revealed that their presidential nominee had used a private email server 13 years ago.
An understudied issue is how Trump’s victory freed up US think-tank and donor mindspace for chipping away at UK politics again. (Most visible on abortion, but there are signs that Tufton also has benefited.)
Also, why would I buy an audio book at a premium to the ebook when I can just get AI to read it to me myself?
Bless you if you thought those red lines hadn't been passed long ago.
Sure, AI may be an environmental disaster and produce mid outcomes in cases where it doesn't straight up lie, but at least it's extremely unprofitable.
Search for Great Tsek. Or Air Wors One.
If you have to clarify that it’s “completely different” to Enoch Powell it’s possible your message isn’t landing right. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...
That is literally the worst song in the universe. It will be responsible for the fall of civilisation. I have some strong feelings about this.
I genuinely feel sorry for government officials and politicians who have to engage with the Americans on the "merits" of the issue. How do you refute someone's deliberate fantasy where facts don't matter at all? It's like the Haitian cats and dogs thing all over again.
Mostly I think it's great that SA is, to substantial extent, avoiding getting sucked into this quagmire of nonsense. Perhaps a sign we're maturing. But does mean most of the "discussion" is led by grifters, morons and white nationalists (these categories not mutually exclusive)
Notable how vast majority of SA knows this Afrikaner ethnic persecution/refugee thing is such obvious bullshit--literally made-up--that it's not even worth engaging with. You can't refute baldfaced fantasy with facts etc. But wonder if it makes reality less clear to rest of world
Hahaha...er, wait a sec...
Exactly. There is no nuance. Everything is binary.

Okay, part b. Afrikaans is a very expressive language, especially for cursing. If you want to tell someone to go away or get lost rudely, you would tell them to 'voetsek'. This gets shortened to 'tsek. So calling the afrikaner fake refugees going to the US, The Great 'Tsek Zuma up what many...

...This was named 'Die Groot Trek' as these 'voortrekkers' settled in the interior of South Africa. It is a foundational story of Afrikaner nationalism, and during apartheid, was a major part of the school history syllabus. In English called the Great Trek. .../
Ok, so for context we need to go back to the 1830s in the Cape Colony. The Cape Colony was ruled by the British, but a significant part of the population was Dutch farmers (Boers). These farmers had slave labour, and when the British abolished slavery a large group of these boers trekked north. .../
They don't have money. If they had money they wouldn't leave South Africa.
As a South African, I can confirm.
I have part of the answer for you.

I snorted coffee through my nose when I heard Trump's Afrikaner "refugees" referred to as the "Great 'Tsek". For anyone that a. isn't aware of South African history, or b. Afrikaans cursing, I would be happy to elaborate as to why this is so funny to most South Africans.
Daily Maverick's Rebecca Davis talks about what's actually shaping online political discourse in South Africa right now — and spoiler alert: it’s not ideas, policies, or even real people.
