Went ahead and updated my map of cities with higher crime than D.C. to accommodate the two new states from the Deep South who are sending troops to the capital. In the five states there are 64 cities, home to 1.7 million people, that had more crime in 2024 than D.C. www.pbump.net/o/more-peopl...

Really frustrating seeing journalists continue using “peace deal.” This is such an insult to Ukrainians. What “peace deal” implies is rewarding a terrorist state committing genocide and an illegal invasion by an aggressor.

Never Forget.. 30 September 1938, Neville Chamberlain returned home to Britain with the Munich Agreement, signed by Adolf Hitler, ceding the Sudetenland to Germany, and proclaimed “Peace for our time”. Less than 1 year later.. World War 2 was underway.. Never appease dictators.. Fight them..

Russia is the aggressor! Russia invaded Ukraine! Russia must be forced to make concessions if we want to avoid future war. Instead, Ukraine is pressured to make them, which will encourage future wars. It's our land! Our people live there! Disrespectful and disgusting.

I remember reading them, years later. I think I felt the first was the best, the explanations in the later volumes were less satisfying... Still, on a par with Alan Garner for portraying some very weird world alongside our own. And the pylon imagery still sticks with me.

Apologies, I should have thrown a 🤔 in there. But Fox is the epitome of the moronic right who see "Europe" as a separate continent, one and the same as the EU, and the UK as distinct. - of course, he may not have realised Ireland is part of Europe in all senses... British Isles, innit.

Major media seem flummoxed about what to do when Trump shares a fake video of Obama getting arrested. Maybe they think the options are A) take the bait, or B) ignore it. But there's a 3rd option: Gather all the crazy examples and write big, loud stories about how the president is mentally unhinged.
