Labor Day is May 1st
Griffin’s definition of fascism as palingenetic ultranationalism—specifically a reactionary nostalgia for a lost history of the nation that never existed—remains undefeated. A nostalgia for a type of bread that is ubiquitous, created in the 20th century, and rage towards bread as old as civilisation
Yicai: "China has issued a three-year action plan to optimize university majors in response to the accelerated technological revolution and industrial transformation to cultivate more high-level innovative and interdisciplinary talents." www.yicaiglobal.com/news/china-t...
what if the UK had a major political party that appealed to people who didn't love pogroms
what’s wrong with being sexy?
Real Kabas heads love it
Uhhh, he has to defend his client (megacorp that enslaves children) just like any lawyer
This is fancy, enjoy
omg, yes
not trying to ‘akshully’ you, but that’s a brioche bush
Three months free content is worth sacrificing human dominance on earth, sorry Tim
the intro alone makes it one of my faves of that decade
Plato’s cave where they see that warm delicious midday meals are possible
My immediate thought is cops support trump, but there might be enough NYPD local pride in the ranks. The ‘scary Muslim socialist’ depicted in the NYT, Fox, et al, certainly has an uphill climb no thanks to the Dem establishment either
Polling shows Zohran Mamdani leading with Jewish voters in NYC’s mayoral race. But the New York Times keeps framing him as “alienating” the community—while ignoring polls that say otherwise. 📊 Read @ahjohnson.bsky.social’s breakdown.
Check this shit out motherfucker *embargoes own country*
I did QC for a big chunk of the audiobook in June and I had to pause and say wtf out loud so many times
in many ways, yes, and we often wish we'd never left, but that sort of decision isn't always yours to make
It was definitely the city we visited most often during our many years in Vienna
My pfp is a pic of a statue in memento park outside of Budapest. Worth a visit, but you have to take a bus if you have no car www.mementopark.hu/en/home/
remember, we can't _possibly_ defund the police
If it bleeds we can kill it... and turn it into tasty kebabs

"Instead of a growing economy and the slight possibility of a watered-down tax hike, I now pay bribes to government for the privilege of a recession."
If there were only 17 Palestinians left alive in Gaza he would use them as proof that a genocide did not actually happen
a combination analyst/therapist?
It was always about taking over Gaza.
Trail of Tears? Of course they were crying, everybody was when Biden was president. Turn that frown upside down. From now on we have Happy Trails, grey skies are gonna clear up
i cant believe a country that has spent decades measuring success purely by the accumulation of material wealth has lost its moral compass
Flying on a Boeing jet, nice knowing you
I’m just glad cities and towns can do as they please
Which way western man
The VJ celebrations caused me to look again at how the story of Hiroshima was told. Discovered the Truman govt's cover-up - aided and abetted by the New York Times shockingly - but exposed by Wilfred Burchett - a courageous investigative reporter... en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wilfred...
I’ll be opening with Rosebud, maybe all of S5 tbh
Say what you will about Gavin Newsom, but he’s a fighter, whether that’s against Trump, trans children, or his own constituents with nowhere to live.
I'm watching the chris murphy interview now and it's wild to me how much of this is devoted to russia/ukraine/the summit not saying it's unimportant, just feels like whistling past the graveyard to talk this much about a foreign military conflict while there's an occupation at home in the capitol
gonna miss tha greatest city in tha world, bodega cat, bacon egg an cheese, let’s go mets bb
The White House is mobilizing red state military forces to occupy a Democratic stronghold and let me tell you: No one has ever pretended something isn't happening harder than Democratic leaders are pretending this isn't happening right now.
No need to excuse his racism if he’d first said “US Jews are good at business”
Why was there a Kindertransport? Because we wouldn't let their parents come with them. Five years into the Nazi persecution, we wouldn't let their parents come with them. And we insisted every child had someone to meet their "costs". And we only agreed on condition most would "re-emigrate".

The American press and public really need to figure out how to simply dismiss Trump's pretextual claims for authoritarian attacks and then resist the attack itself, not debate the claim. We have spent months asking "but is the Ivy League really antisemitic?" and now "but is DC really crime-ridden?"
“President Donald Trump has expanded his military campaign against the United States…” is the only way we knew how to start this piece.
it was interesting to see 'ghost in the shell' in the mentions, one i wouldn't have thought of initially, also need to watch it again (great score too!)
if you're ever in vienna, you must go to the third man museum
100% we are about to hit depression level economic numbers and they’re just going to hide it as best they can
somebody show trump escape from new york asap
Italian cough syrup, lol
all a matter of preference, i do not like gin that has too many botanicals, rum is a bit too sweet for me, a bitter aperitif like campari can be very nice with soda
Just 10 members of Congress have even dared to call Israel's mass murder in Gaza a genocide. Meanwhile, they're straight up murdering journalists. The gulf between what's happening and what most of our leaders will acknowledge is so remarkably vast.
can a raven-haired vixen such as this be a trad wife?
Just took a big swig of a gin & tonic into which I had forgotten to add tonic
Tips? Sicily on the list for later this year
Not sure if there is a specific ask for Crimea, but a general statement of “no Ukr territory to Ru” would include Cr. Maybe a greater level of ‘autonomy’ for the peninsula
Unfortunately you have to temper the principle of “not rewarding the invader with a gift of territory” with an ability to manage a region in peacetime
Crimea's population is over 60% Russian, it would be ungovernable for Ukraine
He likes blondes with big tits. We don’t have to over think this one
he’s building a private army accountable to nobody except himself. i cant believe some people still are not accepting this. it’s only a matter of time before he unleashes ICE on dissidents and dems are just going to ask judges for rulings as if the people with the guns care bsky.app/profile/klei...
Breaking News: Eddie Palmieri, the pianist, composer and bandleader who helped usher in New York City’s golden age of salsa, has died at 88.
60 years ago today, LBJ signed the Voting Rights Act of 1965 into law in the presence of Dr. King, John Lewis, and Rosa Parks, among others. #VRAat60
More time to spend with my true love, microsoft excel
miracles with unlimited potential (for all) are woke
I think about this often, right wing racists hate Muslims just a bit more than they hate Jews (but might hate Ethiopian Jews even more though bc dark skin)
it's the fault of the resy apps. I had to do a 5:30 dinner (only thing available before 9:45pm) in Manhattan a couple months back but luckily friends were jet-lagged europeans so didn't mind, wife and I skipped lunch
Monday...back to my full-time job (leaving feedback about my purchasing experiences)

Palestinian children have been killed at a rate of more than one child per hour during Israel's war in Gaza. “A whole classroom of children killed every day for nearly two years,” UNICEF’s executive director said. Here are some of their stories: wapo.st/3UCiAjn
“we are fighting fascism by passing the bipartisan infrastructure bill” is the lie you tell yourself because you cannot live with the truth that you are unwilling to take the risks associated with actually fighting fascism
who will be the fed antipope?
Yes contrary to something i have seen a lot, it isn't people protesting genocide who are making official lists of good and bad jews
I mean...how many occam's razors do you need with this one?
FUCK THE MORAL HIGH GROUND. WE ARE PAST THAT POINT
it’s almost like all the attacks calling Mamdani antisemitic were vapid bad faith bullshit created by politicians with no policy plan other than smashing the “scary muslim” button
This won burger of the year. Looks good www.blackbearburger.com
i just found out that if you want to look at a titty in the UK now you have to send a selfie to the king first
Let's not forget that this seat was vacant because Islamaphobic Democrats wouldn't let Biden's appointee be confirmed. And Schumer let the clock run out.
i posted this more than a year ago because it was obvious by then that israel was trying to starve gaza, & i knew there would come a time in the future when a bunch of people who know better would pretend to suddenly find out about it
Do these ‘people of faith’ believe that only certain people deserve rights?
once again the dishonest media is trying to destroy the president by asking him "what do you mean"
If someone claims to have been a former Labour voter and are going to vote Reform: legitimate concerns. Must be listened to. Labour must Get More Racist. If someone was actually in the party and was told to leave for having morals: Your concerns are pathetic. Vote for Labour while we insult you.
They should add a second child and see if omelas gets more awesome
Let's do basic math: 12 meals-ready-to-eat per case. 48 cases per pallet. That's 576 meals per pallet. Say you gotta feed a million people, three meals a day. One pallet will feed 192 people per day. To feed a million people, you'd have to airdrop 5,208 pallets per day. Like come on. This is stupid.
What Israel is doing to Gaza is so horrifying you can't imagine it getting worse, and then you read about Israel's stated plan going forward
This is how you do it.
In the good London
People need to start demanding that he condemn the IDF, a death force he worked for himself... Every step of the way.
what stage of feminism is this?
Google's AI summaries are - killing traffic to legitimate sites - producing summaries that can be wrong - in the long run probably making you a dumbass www.404media.co/googles-ai-i...

Please stop thinking that fascists can be reasoned with by better arguments
