Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.

America's richest 10% now hold 60% of the nation's wealth.
The bottom half of America? It holds just 6%.

Stewart Lee: From Charlie Kirk to CCHQ, the right has realised they can lie and get away with it. So let’s stop them
Is the problem with modern politics that voters are stupid, or is it that no one pushes back against the populist sideshow acts that mislead them? And is it wrong to think the government should act?

I’m seeing some confusion from Americans on what “President of Ireland” entails, so let me clarify: Catherine Connolly not only has supreme executive authority over the nation of Ireland, but also the entire Irish Diaspora now waits for her signal to start the Fenian Revolution.
BREAKING: Left-wing independent Catherine Connolly is set to become Ireland’s next president after her rival conceded defeat in a presidential election Saturday.

The senior poodle mix I’m fostering has–as a result of being a mostly blind stray–developed the habit of rearing back on his butt and blindly panic biting when at all frightened which is always. Totally stealing that move.

I just saw a color option called Cinder Melange and flashed back HARD to the Tweeds catalogue ca. 1988. I was unaware. until today there was such a thing as an Ecstasy flashback.

Remember a few years ago (could be 3, could be 10) when the Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded to persons for reasons synopsized as: the universe is not locally real?
I know there is scientific fact there before there is knee-knocking resonance, but boy that phrase turns up in my thoughts regularly.

I'm not gonna hate on yalls movie. If you like it, I love it. But you will never convince me that Leo DiCaprio shouting while wearing a tatty bathrobe is the best movie of the year when Ryan Coogler was literally summoning the ancestors a few months ago.

Every single thing, EVERY SINGLE THING, that RFK has done was predictable and predicted. He is doing what every other fascist eugenicist has done before him. The disability community has been warning about this for YEARS. It is not in any way shape or form mysterious and unknowable.

Zohran’s primary victory has broken the WSJ opinion section’s brain in a way reminiscent of 17th century Massachusetts residents spiraling into panic about witchcraft. Fascinating to watch.
