There is truly nothing you could do to make fun of the NYT covering the Obama Cheesecake Factory quip instead of Trump being accused of rape. It’s completely beyond parody.

One of the most important financial stories out there if you want to know how and why the same five evil guys wind up owning everything.

And who needs algebra. Or astronomy to the point of the first working observatories. Or the entire foundational conception of modern medicine and hospitalization. Or brewed coffee. Coffee alone is entirely enough to justify a civilization. Nothing justifies this shitpiece in our government.

RFK: "There's five hundred million Arabs in the world. And yet they don't produce science. They don't win the Nobel Prize. They don't win the Fields Prize. They don't win the Wolf Prize. They don't produce literature."

entre os séculos vii e xii, o islamismo acumulou e aprofundou conhecimento como nenhuma outra cultura nesse período. depois veio o obscurantismo da ortodoxia religiosa, e acabou essa riqueza cultural, até que nos secs xiv e xv os europeus do sul voltaram a pegar nessa riqueza. leiam mais e sempre.

Lula: "We had to overcome foreign interference through digital platforms, which we will have to regulate. A crime in the digital world must be treated the same as a crime in the real world. We cannot have monstrous companies earning millions... not paying taxes... wanting to steer elections."

Lula winning is great for the planet, great for Brazil, and great for people who aren't revanchist assholes everywhere in the world, but let's not forget that it's also going to make some of the worst people on Earth extremely sad and mad. We should enjoy that, as a little treat.

the idea that empathy is dangerous has been permeating right-wing spaces for a while, but it's not an actual element of their ideology as much as it's a defense mechanism against confronting the reality of their cruelty

NEW: Scripture tells us, “If anyone says, ‘I love God,’ but hates his brother, he is a liar.” Love is a verb. Pope Leo XIV said this morning that love for God has to overflow into love for our neighbor. Nine days before the election, love asks more of us than a feeling. It demands that we act.

@shyznogd.bsky.social a falta generalizada de conhecimentos básicos sobre coisas tão recentes como o mai 68 tira-me do sério, caramba, foi há menos de 60 anos e está tanta gente espantada e indignada com a propensão para a rua da juventude francesa?

borrego tenrinho, enfim.

estamos a sensivelmente um mês do que pode ser o princípio do fim deste ciclo horroroso que começou há mais ou menos 10 anos, mas ocorre-me o que se passou em janeiro de 21 e também aquele axioma que dirá qualquer coisa como "o tigre é mais perigoso quando está moribundo".

Cannot get over the beauty of this GIF: it’s Zidane celebrating last night after Olise scored a last minute winner for France. It looks like something from a movie or a high-end fashion advert. Probably the most elegant footballer of all time.

a quantidade de coisas que eu aprendi sobre "a vida" a ouvir músicas do Jorge Palma, que foram, por conseguinte, formativas da minha personalidade, é incontável. epá, deixa-me abrir contigo, desabafar contigo falar-te da minha solidão

Era o Palma da boémia, era o Palma das ébrias pianadas, o Palma do exílio, da rua, fora-da-lei, era muito o Palma da poesia, das palavras. Muito do coração (tanto como o amigo que primeiro me mostrou as suas canções). Generoso, generosos. A morte não apaga a poesia, mas é fodida.

I mean, adjusted for inflation a plane ticket from New York to London in 1980 would cost about $4,500 dollars today. It's not that air travel has got worse. It's democratised. If you pay the 'old' price in modern money you basically get the same, if not better, experience than you did then.

smartphones and the internet, man. they might have destroyed journalism, driven people insane by the tens of millions, fueled a rise in global fascism, and literally touched off genocides, but at least they seem to have caused a global collapse in relationship formation too
