All straight lines circle sometimes. I like music for weirdos, science, politics, economics and plenty of other stuff. The Weakerthans are God and John K. Samson is their prophet.

OR: anti-vaxxers and conspiracy theorists might not always be stupid, just frustrated sociopaths.
Trust in science does not rely upon a full and detailed knowledge of the science itself: some general principles are more than enough, but a decent grasp of the scientific process as a social enterprise is paramount.
Not even the concept of running.
L'orripilante trailer non lasciava presagire nulla di buono. Continuerò col rewatch di The Wire.
In 2020 it was "they're not dying FROM Covid, just dying WITH Covid". In 2025? This. You should be ashamed of yourself.
Novels and movies about democracies that descend into dictatorship usually imagine some huge disaster that sets it off. The reality is so much more gradual, tawdry, and disheartening.
I was just talking to a guy wearing this exact same t-shirt and I can confirm that he wasn't right. He was, in fact, a damn f*ing moron.
Heart broken every time.
We need John K. Samson back on stage. World is too fkd up to endure without The Weakerthans.
Best song from the bast band ever!
The Weakerthans 😍
Zelenskyy should counter by offering Russia Alaska.
Beyond parody.
Is there a betting market for this concept of a plan? Easiest money ever.

Nothing to see here, everything's fine.
2000: Stay in school or you’ll end up flipping burgers 2008: Oh you think you’re too good to flip burgers? 2015: Oh, you want to be paid more than $7.50/hr to flip burgers? 2020: How come everyone is too lazy to flip burgers?
I'm not American and I'm a centrist, at best. And yet I keep wondering WHAT THE HELL ARE DEMOCRATS DOING. You all need to start rioting and punch those fascists in the face, fast.
Cycling performance of the year and yes, that's including Pogacar's. Chapeau Pauline Ferrand-Prévot.
The Hamas attack on October 7 was a horrendous crime against humanity. But the only relationship between it and the even greater crimes against humanity being perpetrated in Gaza today is that it is being used as an excuse for what certain Israeli ministers and generals have long wanted to do.
Don't give him ideas.
This is worse than any single bad policy.
"UK to recognise the State of Palestine in September unless Israel holds to a ceasefire" is one hell of a dumb diplomatic posture and another reason why Starmer is a f*ing clown. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...
Il patriarcato si combatte educando le persone, e le persone spesso vanno educate a mazzate nei denti.
Elizabeth Holmes reloaded.
She reminds me of *check notes* Elizabeth Holmes, of Theranos.
This whole thread 🙌🏼
I don’t think I’ve seen a cleaner summation of the American strengths in WW2 that contributed to Allied victory.
Poi puoi cancellare il titolo. Riscriverlo. Altro gelato. In loop.
Spoiler: unilateral deals are not deals.
The countryside is (with a few genuinely wild exceptions) as much a man-made working environment as any part of Birmingham.
I've got a feeling that sharing the most gruesome images of Palestinians slaughtered by the IDF has evolved into a brutal holier-than-thou type of competition. Or some dystopian shit straight out of A Clockwork Orange. Let's stay human, folks.
I'll go with The Beatles' "In My Life" with George Martin taking over the piano solo bridge.
TESLA BOARD: We're begging you. PLEASE lie low for a bit MUSK: OK TESLA: Thank you MUSK : Gonna make car Hitler TESLA: Did you just say something? MUSK: Who Me? Nope TESLA: Good MUSK: Groksvagen! TESLA: Okay you DEFINITELY said something that time
He was kind of real for this
Trump was probably voting dem in the nineties. Who fucking cares? They're bloody monsters. Let's treat them as such.
Why are you interacting with a white supremacist?
It's not about being stupid anymore: those people are choosing to be cruel and evil.
That's what I'm looking for, with a side of romance and a sprinkle of rock'n'roll on top. Слава Україні, فلسطين حرة Much love y'all! R.
I don't think there's anything even remotely resembling *true* answers out there. If we're lucky, and curious, we'll bump into interesting answers leading to better questions.
42 is supposed to be the answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything so... happy birthday to me I guess?
⚡️ In landmark ruling, same-sex couple recognized as family by Ukrainian court. Ukraine does not currently recognize same-sex marriages or partnerships, and this court ruling may serve as a legal milestone in expanding rights for LGBTQ families.
That happens to me all the time, mostly due to the fact that I'm drunk when falling asleep and sober when I wake up.
if you’ve ever wondered why “escaping small scale subsistence farming” has been humanity’s primary group project for the majority of our known existence, it’s because small scale subsistence farming sucks real bad
The Weakerthans 😍
Jeff Bezos is right where he belongs but only if his destiny is to become fish feed.
Hybrid warfare is still warfare, guys.
L'importante è che ti piazzi al Punk Rock Raduno 🔥
"Above ground" 🤡
I learned today about an interesting concept, the "Christian Roulette". Only 3 steps: 1) Open the Bible at a random page 2) Follow exactly what's written 3) Last one going to jail wins
Not even the concept of a ceasefire.
i think these professional antivaxxers are literally demonic www.bbc.com/news/article...
Did he pledge to be a peacemaker? Yes. Is the USA entering a new war? Yes. Do I agree with *checks notes* facts? Also yes.
"Then retrain on that" is probably the scariest part.
For All Mankind and Slow Horses are great shows!
For no particular reason, here's the starting lineup of my unstoppable Iranian team in the greatest soccer videogame ever, the legendary ISS Pro Evolution for PS1. The fearsome attacking trio of Bagheri-Azizi-Daei supported by the electrifying talent of Mahdavikia still makes me proud to this day.
The simple fact that this is a real talking point on national TV is absolutely fucking insane.
Both might still be the best player in the world over short stretches :)
Lebron-esque.
It is bad that a hospital in Israel got bombed by Iran today It is bad that a hospital in Iran got bombed by Israel days prior It is bad that hospitals in Gaza got bombed by Israel It is bad that hospitals in Ukraine and Syria got bombed by Russia This isn't hard people.
"Gli assolutisti del free speech".
Discussing the situation in the Middle East can be exhausting.
Musk's business is booming, huh?
Elon's business is booming rn.
...and this is how you own the libs.
I mean, his decline started from a very low ceiling...
This is... concerning.
I don't say this to downplay the protests. It's great to see people out there. What I am saying is that if people think peaceful protest once a month waiving a few signs will topple or hamstring the regime, they're sorely mistaken. You need something like euromaidan to put a stop to this.
Sure. In two weeks, as usual.
this is such a cool thing to unleash on a country full of people who either a) have been ground to dust by capitalism and are unable to get treatment for mental illness or b) are just run of the mill shit-for-brains
I know who Senators Padilla is. And I'm Italian ffs.
Every democracy now faces a choice: actively resist the corruption of information and institutional ecosystems, or passively drift into authoritarianism. The stakes couldn't be higher. 7/7
Taco Tuesday.
Cosa mai potrebbe andare storto? 🙃
Fucking pigs.
PIN Number ATM Machine UPC Code LCD Display We regret to inform you that his phenomenon has a name: RAS Syndrome. Redundant Acronym Syndrome…Syndrome.
The last fifteen years of social media have persuaded too many people that having opinions on everything is both necessary and rewarding. Let me assure you it is absolutely neither of those things.
Unbelievable stuff. www.bbc.com/news/article...
My thought exactly. Unfortunately, I checked and it's very real.
Qualifying in Montecarlo is always peak motorsport. #F1 #MonacoGP
Probably the first honest answer coming out of her mouth.
I often wonder why millions of people vote for absolute monsters to rule their country. Then I remember that hundreds of millions of people around the world binge-watched their way through Breaking Bad and somehow convinced themselves that Walter White is the good guy and not some evil psycho.
Lucio Corsi just can't write bad songs. 4 studio albums + 2 EPs, all killers no fillers :)
Lucio Corsi is an excellent songwriter and he has been setting stages on fire for the last 10 years :)
"Still, it never crossed my mind that, at UATX of all places, I’d feel pressured to conform to any kind of institutional dogma". She deserves the biggest Leopards Eating People's Faces Party badge on the planet.
the Marathon alpha released recently and its environments are covered with assets lifted from poster designs i made in 2017. @bungie.net @marathonthegame.bungie.net
As a punk rocker, I'll go with "Grammar Punk".
Hopefully they will be of political AND financial AND military nature.
They'll gradually grant ICE more and more power and wider discretionality...and in the end, all-black SS uniforms.

Looks like the new Holy Father isn't a fan of JD Vance.
The concept of a deal. Maybe.
