yeah I was a teenager in the 1990s and there was a level of possible casual violence - of, say, getting headbutted by a random group of dickheads on the way home from school, as happened to me one time - that largely seems to have disappeared from British life. I blame videogames.

Violent crime peaked in 1995 according to the Crime Survey for England and Wales..

You laugh, but this is how the exododus went extinct

Nearly a million New

i don't click on new york post articles but i can't honestly say it's because of any principled stand. it's because it has so many ads that if you let it all load the page weight is around 2 gigs. you could load one article claiming that sidewalks are bad or you could run about 500 copies of doom

NYC is going to have the world's biggest media-manufactured crime panic in history the second Mamdani is elected. They aren't even going to wait until he is inaugurated. Whether or not you like the guy, you need to start preparing now for the fire hose of disinformation that is about to activate.

Getting to really know a whole culture (if that is even possible, cause that assumes one big culture and not split into like million subpieces) takes a goddamn long time. Sure, food is not everything about it but it is definitely a good start, along with music.

TRM didn’t have the money to buy a Happy Meal just a short while ago and now they’re holding a national final in the country’s brand spanking new arena.

Hmm. #Eurovision

My cynical head says 'They'll be making sure there's enough returners to cancel out the boycotters then'

I sadly feel the same. Would be hurtful to abandon this show, but I already had a cursed past two years, I don't need any more...

Preparing myself mentally for the seemingly inevitable fact that Israel will remain.

EBU is clearly desperate for these countries to return in case some of the big guns withdraw.

Which means I will no longer be watching cause what is the point… #Eurovision

Happy for Moldova returning to ESC but I cannot feel any excitement unless EBU does The Thing.

Chicago Pope is going to say some things we all dislike because he is the Pope and still very Catholic but he is spending enough time poking directly at the worst Catholics alive that I’m ready to put him in the Pretty Good For A Pope bucket already

also the sports jersey thing is incredibly funny

why would he come for online trads like this

In recent years, many young people have approached the faith through social media, successful programs and popular online Christian witnesses. The danger is that a faith discovered online is limited to individual experiences, which may be intellectually and emotionally reassuring, but never “embodied.” Such experiences remain “disembodied,” detached from the “ecclesial body.”

If you're in need of positive and rather wholesome news, there's a high school teacher named Bryan who took a ton of freely licensed celebrity headshots at the New York Film Festival last month for Wikipedia, and I truly can't believe how drastic the upgrade is for some articles (thread)

I would genuinely happy for all of these nations coming back to #eurovision, but not in an environment like this.

Still, I am extremely curious what Bulgaria cooks up after three abstentions. Also really hoping for a 🇲🇩 and a 🇲🇰 return! Is Tudor Bumbac back?!

🇧🇬🇷🇴 I wonder what perks come with the ‘please return and save our contest’ package these days. All inclusive two week stay at one of Vienna’s finest hotels on the house? Preferential running order slot? A nice chunk of jury points? #Eurovision
