The contrast must be shocking. Poor man. And then he has a war to contend with.

Bernie gets it right again. It beggars belief that the US has a couple of outstanding politicians, Bernie and AOC, who will probably never become President and the US and the world has to endure two bouts of a person in the White House who will damage the world and is a convicted criminal.
Bernie Sanders: "We need to be thinking seriously about a moratorium on data centers. You gotta slow this process down. It's not good enough for the oligarchs to tell us 'you adapt.' Are they gonna guarantee healthcare to all people? What are they gonna do when there are no jobs? Make housing free?"

He is a very naughty boy

Why not now

On x-twitter. What do you expect?

Presumably the edict to present a positive view of US history is so that when people look back there could be a positive view of the episodes of President #45 and #47. Trouble is that that will be impossible. So it is really an edict to end the Smithsonian.

She's a menace. If she was serious about her role she would not be so aggressive and would reach out to others.

Israels foreign minister now says it's antisemitic to oppose Israel's illegal settlement expansion.

Israel cheapens the concept of antisemitism, throwing Jews abound the world under the bus to advance its agenda of land grab.

Everyone is being played and it's so very dark.
The top is after Trump’s DOJ redactions below is without, I can almost figure out who they are protecting

If you can bear to read the degrading behaviour the "men" inflicted on the girls. One example was enough for me. Vance should be President
So apparently there are many Epstein files on the DOJ website where you can highlight the redacted text, copy it, and paste it onto another document to read the redactions

Beware. AI has the capacity to destroy all the knowledge we have fought for so hard.
When viewing the fake article in Google scholar on my university network, there is a link to access the article via my uni's library. That link sends me to a library page that makes fake article appear real... Turns out library page is made programmatically from info on Google scholar 🤦
We are not good at blowing our own trumpets. I published a book on art trying to understand why archaeologists do and do not use the word in the same breath as Velazquez and Picasso. And two shorter articles with some of the lessons, one in the Conversation coauthored with my Aboriginal friends.

Where are the law enforcement officers brave enough to arrest him and lock him up?

I cannot understand why anyone is using ex Twitter.
This has always been a Bluesky-first campaign. But as of today, we will no longer be using Twitter. At all.

And I'm calling on other candidates to follow suit.

So should we be thinking of the Epstein Tapes as the US's own Bondi massacre?

Casual reminder that the myth of “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.

If they are rolling in dough perhaps we could bake them

I can smell the brine, Michael. Can you look at your chats, please? I asked a question long ago. Do you know the answer?

I only have one question for Samsung. How do you turn the damn thing off?

I visited that in the summer of 2018. A bit more reason to have an alignment towards the sun, then. But the interesting thing was the people "walking the wall" who strode on by without even a glance. How much do they miss in their zeal to tick off the task in their bucket.
