A rectangular book cover is shown, with a solid red background. The cover appears to be made of a textured fabric. Centered at the top is the text "WELL, THAT DIDN'T WORK" in a large, sans-serif, white font. Below that is a small graphic of an open book in white, and below that, in a smaller font, is the text "An Autobiography". The overall aesthetic is minimalist and straightforward.

Genuinely laughed when I was on my way back out of London the other day between Hammersmith and the M4 and one of the storage depots near the flyover has powered down the S on the SELF STORAGE neons, so now (presumably for the season) it reads β€œELF STORAGE”.

Both sides of the building have the same letter switched off, so it’s definitely deliberate!

Cosa succederebbe se un incrociatore inglese entrasse nelle acque della #Crimea accompagnato da navi ucraine e la #Russia aprisse il fuoco? Scatterebbe l'articolo 5 della Nato?

La Crimea Γ¨ considerata dell’Ucraina e cosΓ¬ le sue acque territoriali.

Anche senza entrare nella Nato l'Ucraina potrebbe far scattare l'articolo 5 della Nato.



Most fine dining SF restaurants try to do some Asian fusion these days and they often do it poorly (largely because they don’t do the Asian part well).

ICE pepper-sprayed this 1-year-old girl. Once at the hospital, the doctor had to call in a poison control specialist. They had never seen anyone that young pepper sprayed. Another horrific story. More details below.

Children are not safe in the US. They're not protected. They're no longer sacred.




Just as it’s never 'the right time' to discuss gun control after a mass slaughter in the USA, it’s never the right time for a facile commentator like David Frum to mention Israel's slaughter of 70k+ in present-day Palestine by the world's only self-described officially 'Jewish' state.

Context only matters when it supports the white/colonialist narrative.

Because, as Frum intimates, they're only inhuman savages, these enemies of Western civilization.

I am in disbelief that the only argument I'm seeing mobilized against age verification laws (and their accompanying social media bans) is β€œIt sucks for privacy!”, and not β€œwhy the fuck are we okay imposing a digital jail on every single child?”

Digital privacy matters and it's an important reason why these laws must be repealed at all costs, but let's also please humanize the issue here: social media bans for minors are just another massive chapter in the conservative's playbook to deprive any social class that's not β€˜adult white males’ of their bodily and existential autonomy.

That same playbook has chapters we're already familiar with, including staples such as β€œlet's force gay kids back into the closet”, β€œtrans kids shouldn’t be able to decide anything for themselves”, β€œwomen shouldn't have a bank account”, and β€œabortion should be illegal”.

And as usual, think of who this is going to affect the most. Spoiler alert: it ain't gonna be the cis white boys, it ain't gonna be the neurotypical children, and it ain't gonna be the rich kids.

Pretty sure we have words to describe that phenomenon where a society is dominated by policies that are designed to exclude and discriminate against its weakest classes of individuals.

Some amazing Tennessee news! His fabulous cat sitter came by seven times, and on four of those visits she was able to pet him for a bit, mostly in my office. This from a cat who would, before this month, run away from anyone but me.

Of course, he was still glad I was back home. He's sitting on the desk next to me right now, purring his little heart out.

The Bondi Beach massacre should make it clear that antisemitism is becoming increasingly common. Part of the problem is the conflation of Israel with the Jewish diaspora, by both the government of Israel and antisemites.

Opposition to the Israeli government is a sane and justified position. Hatred and violence towards the Jewish or Israeli peoples is not.

ΒΏSabΓ­an que la sal en el ring de sumo no es un simple capricho cultural, sino un ritual de purificaciΓ³n sintoΓ­sta?

Antes de cada combate de sumo, los luchadores (rikishi) arrojan puñados de sal al dohyō (el ring de arcilla). Esta prÑctica, que consume alrededor de 45 kilogramos de sal en un solo día de torneo, tiene un origen profundamente arraigado en la religión nativa de Japón, el sintoísmo.

En el sintoísmo, la sal se considera un elemento sagrado con el poder de alejar los malos espíritus, las energías negativas y las impurezas. El dohyō es tratado como un espacio sagrado, y cada combate se considera una ofrenda a los dioses (kami).

Al esparcir la sal, los luchadores purifican simbΓ³licamente el Γ‘rea de combate, pidiendo la bendiciΓ³n de los dioses, asegurando la seguridad del lugar y, segΓΊn la creencia popular, previniendo lesiones durante el enfrentamiento.

EstΓ‘ de pie sobre un montΓ­culo de arena, con las manos extendidas y arrojando arena al aire. Al fondo, una gran multitud de personas estΓ‘ sentada observando en un ambiente interior.

The English word β€˜sad’ is related to β€˜to satisfy’, β€˜to satiate’, β€˜saturation’ and β€˜asset’, a group of words that English borrowed from French and Latin.

They all derive from a Proto-Indo-European root meaning β€œto satiate”.

β€˜SΓ¦d’, the Old English ancestor of β€˜sad’, meant β€œsated; full; weary; having had your fill”. Only in Middle English did it come to mean β€œsorrowful”.

Zoom in on my new graphic to learn all about this family.

Oggi quel posto non esiste piΓΉ, spazzato via dalla guerra.

L’uso dei #Social Γ¨ dannoso per i piΓΉ piccoli.

Uno studio svedese ha dimostrato che i bambini che trascorrono molto tempo sui #SocialMedia tendono a sperimentare un graduale declino della loro capacitΓ  di concentrazione.
Una ricerca che ha coinvolto oltre 100.000 giovani tra i 18 e i 24 anni ha rilevato che chi ha ricevuto il primo smartphone prima dei 13 anni riporta tassi piΓΉ alti di pensieri suicidi, aggressivitΓ , ansia, bassa autostima e disturbi dell’umore.

Immediately after the 2024 US election there was a naive knee jerk reaction where pundits would claim the country as a whole had shifted right, and that to win vulnerable groups like trans people need to be thrown under the bus.

A new analysis challenges that view, suggesting that what really happened was fewer left-leaning voters came to the polls in 2024.

They note one of the largest problems was lack of a strong economic message from Democrats.

From a big redistricting defeat for Trump in Indiana to Democratic victories across Florida, Georgia, and Iowa, it’s been a big week for Democrats.

this worries me. Trump is such a small minded person, that he will feel personally offended and lash out. Giving his mental decline, I fear there will soon be a tipping point at which he declares a national emergency and begins attacking everyone.
