Read this thread. It's exactly right. But also note on the internet related stories—the banning of TikTok and the attack on Sec 230—Democrats happily helped MAGA accomplish their goals and people have cheered it on. Democrats trying to destroy 230 are not helping you. They're helping Trump.

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Digital privacy matters and it's an important reason why these laws must be repealed at all costs, but let's also please humanize the issue here: social media bans for minors are just another massive chapter in the conservative's playbook to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

That same playbook has chapters we're already familiar with, including staples such as “let's force gay kids back into the closet”, “trans kids shouldn’t be able to decide anything for themselves”, “women shouldn't have a bank account”, and “abortion 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.

Click-bait title, sadly - but it is always worth listing to Norman Finkelstein, even when he makes you uncomfortable - especially then.

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.

¿Sabían que la sal en el ring de sumo no es un simple capricho cultural, sino un ritual de purificación sintoísta?

Antes de cada combate de sumo, los luchadores (rikishi) arrojan puñados de sal al dohyō (el ring de arcilla). Esta práctica, 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 simbólicamente el área de combate, pidiendo la bendición de los dioses, asegurando la seguridad del lugar y, según la creencia popular, previniendo lesiones durante el enfrentamiento.

Un luchador de sumo está en medio de un ritual en un ring circular. El luchador es un hombre corpulento con el pelo peinado en un moño superior. Lleva un taparrabos azul y calcetines blancos. Está de pie sobre un montículo de arena, con las manos extendidas y arrojando arena al aire. Al fondo, una gran multitud de personas está sentada observando en un ambiente interior. La arena arrojada por el luchador es visible en forma de una nube brillante que se extiende hacia la derecha de la imagen.

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

They all derive from a Proto-Indo-European root meaning “to satiate”.

‘Sæd’, the Old English ancestor of ‘sad’, meant “sated; full; weary; having had your fill”. Only in Middle English did it come to mean “sorrowful”.

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




Quel piatto di ful nella foto era tra i migliori di #Damasco: ero a Bab Touma, alle porte della Città Vecchia.
Il ful è un piatto siriano semplice e gustoso: fave cotte con aglio, cipolla, prezzemolo e un po' di olio e limone.
Oggi quel posto non esiste più, spazzato via dalla guerra.
Sono passati 14 anni, il regime di Assad è crollato ma la situazione è la stessa.
Ho raccontato la mia storia in #Siria nel mio #podcast Ponti Invisibili: se non lo hai ascoltato, è il momento giusto per farlo.

Die Spannung steigt .....❗😷

Zu einer öffentlichen Anhörung wird der ehemalige Bundesgesundheitsminister Jens Spahn (CDU) erwartet.....

Befragt werden kann auch die im vergangenen Jahr vom Ministerium eingesetzte Sonderermittlerin Margaretha Sudhof.

Seems Nicky NoBoats is under pressure from the hard right for not doing austerity ruthlessly enough. Although the debate itself is not ruthless since the Taxdodgers Onion are planning to wheel out Ruthenasia Richardson to debate NoBoats;

A clash of the neoclassical titans. Like a debate between 19th century orphanageers, over whether the current one is beating the orphans enthusiastically enough to get them adopted.

Hopefully people will see this debate, grok the horror these corporatist vampires have in store for us all, and vote for those campaigning on a politics of universal wellbeing in 2026.

a few years ago, researchers at Google documented a similar list of leakages in their then-new image generator model enriched with linguistic semantics (see Section 6.3). I like it a lot, because it demonstrates similar issues visually.
