i can't explain it but this is america's decline into fascism
Think I might become a 'Trump dead' guy. Like, anyone speaks about something he's done? 'Trump dead'. Oh, he's sold the moon? Sounds like the kind of thing a deceased guy would do. Can he murder a congressperson? Silly question, he's been dead for years so moot.
Really fun that Brits were all drilled to spot when a guy in power is likely dying and trying to hide it because we wargamed out every scenario possible with the queen popping her clogs
86% of the world’s genocide experts have declared that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza. Israel made its genocidal intent clear from day one. It then committed genocide in full view of the world. Nobody with power or influence can say they didn’t know at the time.
genocide in the name of an "elon musk smart manufacturing zone" what a time to be alive
Easy. One Sebastien is e/Pi Lancias, which is 2.5 Audis. A Fiat is infinitesimal.
Hank's public response to his son's suffering was "these things happen." There's so much crap that Hank Ketcham did that Behind The Bastards did a two part deep dive that's longer than they spent on some nazis. But suffice to say, bro sucks.
That's... That's not Mr. Menace.

Not personally a fan but he probably drove the best race he could today. What a shame. #F1 #Formula1 #DutchGP
Think they do on Bash St. where all the true unwoke patriots live.

Woof. He's having the worst season of his career and, it's hard to feel sympathy for the most successful driver in the sport, but wow. #f1 #formula1 #lh44 #DutchGP
Sky Statisticians: 10th has won the Dutch GP twice in the last 7 races! Checks notes. Over 40 years ago.
Nevermind. He's already ruined his tyres before the race started.
HAD for the win today. #Formula1 #F1 #DutchGP

right fuck it since I'm otherwise unemployed for the moment let's enjoy posting through an F1 qualifying session. Aston Martin snatching an absolute disasterclass from the jaws of triumph strategy going fine, Ferrari currently imbuing fans with a very dangerous level of hope
If you are okay with this, if you think this is justified, if you think people living on the street have brought this upon themselves, if you think this is good leadership, you may be able to fool yourself that you care about others but you don’t fool me

Zack Polanski, "I'm really concerned that fascism is at our door" "We saw Nigel Farage run a press conference this week and Prime Minister Keir-island-of-strangers-Starmer didn't even condemn the outrageous comments he made"
I guess does anyone need anyone to write a thing about idk literally fucking anything at this point but I particularly know about science-y stuff and cars so like synthetic fuel bollocks and batteries and wire harnesses and such. honestly want to die but I guess we have to crack on
Sending love and positive vibes.
thegaslightanthem.bandcamp.com/album/the-b-... The Gaslight Anthem was probably the last band to make me cry. Songs For Teenagers, Antonia Jane, Once Upon A Time all achingly sincere. Personal highlight is Tumbling Dice. Good arrangement and wistfully aimless for a usually tight band.
sopharela.bandcamp.com/album/karaok... Come down music. Here is great, Soak Up The Sun is crisp and oh so tight. Along with the other girl pop cover.
counterintuitiverecords.bandcamp.com/album/keep-y... Riley is good for when you struggle to keep your cool. Good light angry. What is modern punk like? I still listen to The Replacements.
batfangs.bandcamp.com/album/queen-... Bat Fangs fucking rule. If you like hard rock. Or rock. Or using your ears.
A non-exhaustive list of the albums that have gotten me through a shitty day:
Selling my #MotoGP Catalunya ticket. €100 for a three day grandstand ticket, €150 if you want return bus tickets for each day too!
Urgent: me and him and the cats need somewhere to live within the next two weeks, I've just been (I think very unfairly) fired and need to move somewhere ASAP
Hello it’s me Sam Altman I have a zillion dollar idea it’s a chat bot that tells teenagers to kill themselves and you can generate csam with it and it poisons the air and water and it’s wrong most of the time and we’re going to put it in your refrigerator and stuff 👍 I need more money for this btw
People responding to this with "Not worth speculating about" are driving me a little insane, because I lived through the last year of the Biden presidency and read thousands of people speculating he maybe had dementia, Parkinson's, was a vegetable, including in the most elite newsrooms in the US
But you made us Brits have to verify just so we could access our DM’s. While I agree with you guys here, you caved to the Brits way too easily.
Do you know how insane and infuriating it is to live in a country where one party claims, with media and public support, the mantle of being the ‘tough on crime’ party while its leader openly calls for convicted criminals to be released from prison ‘or else’?
A leaked Israeli intelligence report reveals what was obvious all along: The vast majority of Palestinians slaughtered by Israel in Gaza are civilians. There was never an excuse for not knowing the truth. This is a genocide. Not a war.
It’s pretty funny that they’re at the point of begging people not to circumvent their regulation

I have enormous mechanical sympathy and regularly apologise to the car I'm driving for not sufficiently avoiding bumps in the road but these predictive text robots need to be bullied.
Which makes the U.K. Government’s obsession with sticking to X as a channel for official comms even more baffling. They might as well use OnlyFans.
Perhaps, one day, schoolkids will study this squalid little chapter in British terror-panic history. When they do, I hope these two headlines from today are printed side by side, with clear annotation of which individual faced more outrage and condemnation.
I’ve been using it for Spanish since this past winter, and the decline in quality since the inclusion of AI is striking. The things it’s teaching me make no sense anymore. As my best friend put it, “Duolingo’s goal is not to teach you a language, but to keep you using Duolingo.”

More Americans Buying Firearms To Defend Selves From Toddlers Who Found Their Guns
Welcome to the UK, where holding a sign which says “PALESTINE ACTION” (or could be interpreted as supportive of them) in a public square while protesting genocide = terrorism, but holding a sign saying “KILL EM ALL” in front of a hotel housing migrants = not terrorism, doesn’t even get you arrested.

I’m kind of speechless with this one. I can’t imagine the kind of person who continues to make the argument that it doesn’t count as real starvation if the kids were already sick.

When not criticising his own party, Bean’s posts range from puerile to extreme, using crude and misogynistic terms. Alarmingly, he works as a civil servant assessing asylum claims for the Home Office, a job he frequently references in his comments.

like 70% of the worst evil being perpetrated in the world right now is caused by rich men trying to avoid death. this is their underlying hope for AI, and genetic engineering. if true immortality ever existed we would have a moral responsibility to murder the inventors and bomb their labs.

Labour won’t defend migration. Too scared of Reform, too terrified to lead. While they play dog whistle politics, inequality is the real problem. Not small boats. But private jets.

Israel is creating a bottleneck of people they consider inhuman enemies, just as the Germans did to the Jews of Europe during WW2. As the Third Reich did, they are deliberately engineering a situation in which extermination is the only solution to the problem they have manufactured.

I'm Jewish and I think about antisemitism all the time. I can't tell you how fucking weird it is that Homeland Security posting literal neo-Nazi propaganda generates less discussion about the threat to Jews than a mayoral candidate who believes Palestinians are human beings.

This is the climate crisis
Nice FT citing Ireland, where data centre power demand has massively outpaced clean power growth - meaning increased burning of fossil fuels You can't rely on an assumption of infinite, exponential, unstoppable renewable energy to excuse data centre expansionism. www.ft.com/content/0f61...
The Labour Party is currently: – Providing intelligence and material support to a right-wing religious ethnostate carrying out a genocide – Arresting pensioners for holding signs – Legally classifying a significant portion the public as terrorists – Attempting to ban trans people from public life
The Labour Party is currently: – Spearheading its politics with an anti-immigration campaign that directly lifts rhetoric from far-right groups – Having its MPs refer to undocumented workers and migrants as filth to be 'cleaned up' from high streets – Contracting Palantir, run by Peter Thiel
zero sympathy for this slimeball, who is now trying to claim that his climate denial was just an act. Doesn't matter what he 'really believed' - what matters is that he was an effective advocate for prolonging and worsening fossil fuel use. FAFO, buddy. www.desmog.com/jeremy-clark...

I think if people are being arrested for peaceful protest on the grounds that there are things the public don't know, the public should be told what those things are.
