Those poor kids must be terrified.
Climate, international shitshow, human & environmental rights & whatever interests me. Irish, she/her. Mostly harmless but inclined to bite or at least relentlessly mock bigots. Irrational fear of harmonicas. Figuring out new place.

Those poor kids must be terrified.
Looks like both.
Yeah, that one confused me too. It does not seem the act of an entirely sane man to need to have his national flag permanently behind him when sitting. Just..why? Is he worried he'll forget what country he's in?
Lol, beaten to the joke by an hour.
Well, he presumably wouldn't be sitting at the time as that would make things logistically difficult.
You are a bloody danger.
We had six centuries or so of the plague running wild and still ended up with RFK Jr existing so I think we can call that experiment a failure.
I'd like to make a snarky comment but honestly what is there to say
She gave birth - it was picked up because the "parents" didn't get the poor child any medical help during it.
Ugh, fkn thought it would be when that case popped up previously. It was..statistically not unlikely, especially with the no medical help added in. I hoped it wasn't the case though. >.<
...I have an inbuilt mild distrust of anyone who flies their national flag at home. Or pins it to the wall, whatever he's doing. It suggests levels of insecurity (or geographical uncertainty) that is just a bit unnerving.
AI plagiarism machines, founded in theft of the work of real humans, for the purpose of removing human work to continue to concentrate wealth upwards, are makers of incredibly expensive slop. On the surface it seems free because the costs are socialised in the massive use of electricity and water.
A little while ago, my parents' cat Bridget went missing. As the weeks dragged on, they became extremely worried. My dad devised a way to distract himself: he began to paint Bridget's adventures, imagining her travelling through time and popping up in some of art and music's most iconic scenes.
Hm, it wasn't that article I read originally, which did put more of it down to campaigning. But yeah, this one does lean more heavily to the point that the problem's really only moved.
The amount of grown adults that do this with balls, drumsticks, hats etc thrown into crowds if a kid (or sometimes just "someone smaller") gets it. It's just very "and you're proud of that, are you?"
The more the WH and his truthiness account tries to convince us he's all good, the less convinced I am.
Reminded of being called "very feminine in your conflict address", which I believe (blocked the idiot so can't check) was to do with thinking genocide is a bad thing.
bsky.app/profile/miri... Timing! 😁
That he invented tikka masala so he in some way doesn't count - although he also managed to insinuate the position that someone arguing with him was lying about their nationality and ethnicity. And that Bangladeshis only moved to Britain because of the famine. He's a whole font of bad takes.
And that The Pogues switched to "cheap and you're haggard" in 1992 and yet The Discourse is annual tradition. They pointed out that the characters are supposed to be unlovable but the enthusiasm which people wanted to sing it was weird. (Fairytale of NY)
He's still going. Fighting for his life, but he is not giving up, no matter how many brown people he has to call liars.
Hs argument for that is that he's probably lying.
The only reason you think this isn't all wildly racist is that you haven't managed to get the concept of brown and black Brits through your skull yet. Once you've stopped insisting that only whites are British, you might have a "😬😳" realisation, possibly around 3AM.
Ran all this past an Indian friend (with zero British connections) and he's mocking this guy thoroughly. He's also mocking tikka masala in general. Obviously a British nationalist. 😆
I'm running this guy's arguments past an Indian (Indian-Indian) friend and the results are exactly what you'd expect there too. 😆 I just passed on that he's obviously a British nationalist, according to random white American.
At this point you're just doing "Brits can't be brown", but leftistly.
I've been noticing seasonal shift where I live for the past few years too. Every seasonal indicator has moved back by around a month plus added instability. Midge clouds on Christmas day, daffs in late December and ofc the constant "earliest", "strongest", "unprecedented" storms etc.
Obviously if you were in the military, orgasmic rapture at your first serial killing is not only normal but part of the moral relativism of liberalism; checkmate, "lumpen protalitariat".
I saw this about an hour ago and I'm still mulling timespans per labrador lifetimes. I have a dose of mild plague so my brain is wandering off on tangents about labrador crossbreed lifespans for precision dating.
That is far too succinct and weirdly coherent for a start. And he doesn't do "President DJT", he likes to see his first and last name after President (J is fair enough)
On the one hand, fair point, on the other, I wouldn't get your hopes up - every other time they have gotten world-class treatment, they take it as their due and go back to ensuring the undeserving masses do not. (The trans immigrants prob got arrested by ICE.)
He had Covid, which famously can screw with your cardiovascular system.
RIP that account, it put in an unexpected amount of legwork given the guy was 98 when it started.
The "is he dead yet" tracker on twitter going "😳 srsly?" when Queen Elizabeth died and he was still going...
I felt that too when this dratted character from season 1 reappeared. www.courthousenews.com/kentucky-cle...
"The kids are hungry" "The kids are food-insecure" Have very different meanings. One may well just mean it's nearly time for dinner. The other indicates there may well be no dinner.
Can't deny I had a moment of "aw man, not Lupita Nihongo too...oh that's a relief" as well 😆
If you say 'heteronormative' or 'unhoused person' or 'food insecurity' you're basically talking gibberish and nobody can understand you but if you say you can see inflammation in children at the airport and that vaccines lower IQ or that germs are a myth you get to fire all the scientists.
I see no downside to that solution.
If he's following the science, it's only to mug it in an alleyway.
Lol, same
Can't tell if you're defending Putin, Netenyahu or Trump atrocities and tbh, don't really care. Bin for you.
Picking pretty much anywhere on an island isn't going to work out well geographically.
Odds are "Abdul" is contributing to his local area, whereas this guy is a twat whose finest point appears to be his rather useless skin shade.
Ofc, stereotypes often have kernels of truth and a whole popcorn of falsehoods that get assumed to be the be-all & end-all in the face of all available evidence to the contrary.
Tbf, both of these things are stereotypes and I think we all know it! Both countries have ranges of high quality produce and cooking styles and ALSO have terrifying stuff that makes foreigners go "...this is food?" and back away slowly.
At least one of those is upside down.
*she, apparently
He knows he's not FORCED to buy sourdough, right? If he's afraid of the woke bread, he can get someone else to buy his white pan.
I blame the parents less than I blame the conspiracy-mongers. At base, (nearly all) parents want what's best for their baby. If they've been told X is *dangerous*, puts their child at risk, their protective instincts still work, but counter-productively.
Wrong country.
As much as I hate to not give him discredit, there are a few cases of bubonic a year and no vaccine for it anyway. It's treated by antibiotics, so while obviously one doesn't *want* it, it is astronomically less dangerous than it was back then. Until we get antibiotics resistance ofc.
screwworm might deserve an honorary mention.
Much easier to acknowledge a genocide one isn't directly responsible for.
"I can only wear diamonds with blood on them, dammit!" Nah, you're fine thanks.
...Looked at your past posts and jfc, the condescending zealotry.
Probably the biggest single cause of extremism in the Middle East is America repeatedly pillaging it. And enough of the "oh, it's their job to clean up our messes, we'll just keep supplying bombs, lol, what failures they are". 🙄 Bloody Americans and their superiority complex.
"Ethnically cleanse" is the term, not "relocate". Ofc, in making it almost impossible to leave any, imposing famine and mass murdering civilians, it's also plain genocide.
No, they just say "I agree completely" to Charlie Kirk on his position on trans people existing and then "how dare you not vote for him, do you want Trump, you hysterical nitwit, no-one wants you dead, lol, purity politics" Oddly, it doesn't seem to be any more convincing.
On the one hand, definitely bad sign, on the other it looks like it was based on Hellmo.
They worship their prejudices and call them God is why. As a political power bloc, they're Christians, but not really connected to the Jesus the bible talks about.
Adults, the word is adults. You don't need some cutsie disparagement as if adults playing is some shocking new development.
Yeah, I'm not really sure how we've managed to annoy them more than Spain because indeed mostly we're just loud (although wouldn't be surprised if Israeli products don't sell well). I wonder how many small countries would be more effective without the bloody US throwing its weight around though.
And ofc, arguing to ration medical care by regional voting pattern while a fascist is in office is certainly a choice, but probably not one that will go well for those that didn't vote for the fascist. It's all a bit of a moot point really, the fascist's gov will decide who to sacrifice - everyone.
What, again?
Been seeing this argument a bit recently and apparently it's a case of "yes Timmy, the billionaires always need more, so pay up." There is actually plenty of money, but it's easier to pretend there isn't rather than ask why billionaire wealth doubled over the past 10yrs.
Hm, an upside then.
That was a warning, not a promise. The meek get what the arrogant billionaires and the remains of out-of-control capitalism leaves, so climate change, biodiversity collapse, pollution and food and water shortages.
Tbf, *he* voted for Trump. It's not become law *yet* that a wife must vote per her husband, but give it a few years.
*an evil wet peanut
Hm, if the latter this early on, that would technically preclude Vance running more than once, I think. Mind you, he has the personality of a wet peanut, so not sure he'd do well in an election anyway.
I'd have a suspicion that those kids are being told how they are the next Zuckerbergs and Musks, who must innovate with it and make billions. Vs the other kids who are raised to expect to be the ones being exploited by it. That'd certainly temper enthusiasm.
You absolutely deserved that.
Hellfire is one of the best villain songs Disney made, if not one of the best Disney songs out there. Bells of Notre Dame & God Save The Outcasts were also riveting.
Pretty much. Spain has probably been the most effective, thanks to a LW gov. Croatia and Belgium have had their moments, I think. Mind you, the US have been busy little bees behind the scenes, leaning on govs to not do X or Y. Hence Ireland's difficulty passing Occupied Territories bill.
Yep. With a couple of honourable/semi-honourable exceptions, it's been dire, lead by Germany.
That is a very beautiful cat and also No Thoughts, Just Bewilder.
I believe Finland also subscribes to the "stare at precipitation and brood" method.
Yees, trying to explain that "no, it's not just tired, I was literally only able to stay awake for two hours a day" is...tricky. (Similar sitch to you, but mine was after mono/chronic tonsillitis/swine flu run rather than Covid)
One exception- adults who play or watch things for kids and then demand those things to cater to their adult tastes. They're problematic because they're selfish.
There's nothing more childish than being afraid of play because it doesn't look grown-up enough. That's tween behaviour, and they have an excuse for it! If you're a full-ass adult, people can tell. They're not going to get confused by your playing pokemon go or whatever.
Most, tbh! I don't have a visual memory - can't even do mental imagery - so I don't tend to process peoples' avatars. Now, if they change their name, I'm wondering who that is.
But not as much as red triangles.
So far, btw, the Palestinian flag, watermelons, keffiyahs, black and white checks, triangles, a navy and pink coat, a blue octopus toy and Free Parking signs are Signs Of Hamas. You could really park it a bit and I dunno, enjoy the sights of blown up kids or whatever you do as a hobby.
Lads, ye do this about any and every symbol that represents being against Palestinian genocide. I don't suppose ye'd consider shutting up on occasion? You have the world media and most powerful states onside, all we have is a weird conviction genocide is bad. You're winning. So stfu.
Air Force Done
Once she got a panther Sleek and black as night It ate her lamb, bones and all And gave her such a fright *cough* I'll stop now 😆
And then there was her little sphynx Who had no fur at all But if she put her coffee down Her mug was soon to fall
There is a Spanish lady who does bear an uncanny resemblance, poor woman. She became a momentary cause celebre and probably would really have preferred not to have.
It's amusing conspiracy theory at least! But Trump has so many comorbidities going on that it'd rather screw the testing data. Mind you, that vampire Bryan guy would be all up for it. The one who parasites his son for youth-blood.
Can you manifest a bit at Vance as well though?
Oh, I think we're all in on that one! Sadly, docs are very good at keeping very rich guys alive.
Need the Kissinger Bot guy on the case.
Oops, I deleted as you were writing, sorry! Yeah, I've found some of the earlier stuff, what a great Saturday that'd be (asides from Vance in the wings) I lean "probably alive, if only because we don't have that sort of luck". Might be sick though.
Oh, I remember him from twitter, I think during one of the insaner brexit moments. Both hilariously skewering and viciously insightful. 😆
Everyone knows lunatic racism is more comvincing when SHRIEKED.
I wonder if she avoided lifts after that experience. Or if other people avoided being in lifts with her maybe.
At this point "radicalism" appears to include concepts like not mass rounding up immigrants and protesters. I think the word has been rather beaten to the afterlife.
"Radical centrism" is basically being on a wing (usually far-right to libertarian) while insisting one is far too intelligent to be wildly biased, therefore one's own beliefs must really be centre. The radical bit is just to explain why no-one agrees with him.
