The man is most definitely for turning
While I’m glad to see the government finally coming down from its pernicious proposals - the manner in which it has been forced into another last minute u-turn because of a lack of listening is frankly embarassing. This is no way to govern.

I’m surprised publishing academic books isn’t considered a net loss financially
The funniest bit in the Forbes financial profile of Mamdani is that they mention the number of books his father, an academic, has published, as if that could possibly influence the family's net worth.

Isn’t it crazy how one post can be simultaneously so antisemitic and so zionistic
saw a new brianna wu post that pissed me off that reminded me of this discussion we had about how disingenuous and evil people have become since october 7th

It seems more and more obvious that the US strikes on Iran, and their reciprocal strikes on US bases, were almost entirely performative. Iran warned trump what bases they were going to bomb in advance for christs sake. It’s just a way for each strongman to look strong to his base.

We live in inhumane conditions, we live in tents, we sleep on the sand that has filled our bodies and under the scorching heat of the sun. My mother suffers from cancer and cannot survive these conditions without treatment.

A lot of people are missing that opposition to the war in Iran is coming almost entirely from the conspiratorially inclined and far-right wing of America’s political class, which is concerning because of the fact that the centre and centre-left of the political class really doesn’t care.

Proscribing protest groups for non-violent actions sets a bad precedent. Even if I don’t agree with their views or their methods, to be designated as a terror group both weakens the labelling of actual terror groups and sets precedent for proscribing whoever annoys the government.

This mysterious structure in Richborough Roman Fort is thought to have been a baptismal font!
A rare find, it dates to around 400 AD and suggests that baptisms happened here, probably inside a wooden church

Do you think they’re going to make a movie about how sad the marines got from having to shoot protestors
MSNBC dug up the clip of former Trump Sec Def Mark Esper saying that Trump asked him in 2020 to shoot protesters -- an order Pete Hegseth wouldn't rule out following if Trump asked him to do it today

Eric Trump: "If Mexico -- let's just say that's the scenario -- fired rockets at the United States, I think they'd be decapitated in about four seconds flat."

A lawmaker and her husband were murdered. A senator and his wife nearly killed.
The suspect had a hit list.
And what did we do?
We blamed each other. We justified. We spun.
Political violence isn’t coming—it’s here. And we’re normalizing it.

in capitalist canada a man who makes supermarket ambience music can demand the leader of a political party grovel at his feet for watching another musician’s concert. Many such cases!
"Drake got mad at the former leader of Canada's NDP party for seeing Kendrick, so Jagmeet went on Instagram and publicly apologized" sounds like the worst Canadian Gossip Girl episode I've ever heard of
