I can’t refute the version of me you are arguing with in your head.

I think it doesn't reflect well on the BBC that one its leading presenters is allowed to write an 'analysis' for a highly partisan newspaper which includes lines like "Racial minorities, worshipped by white Democrats" www.dailymail.com/news/article...

Threads is where the conversation is happening.

Oomf was telling me they thought Jeremy Thorpe was judged too harshly and it turned out they forgot he was trying to murder someone (allegedly)

Of all the bbc presenters, Webb’s politics are the easiest to read - because he puts them in newspapers and doesn’t even try to hide them in broadcasts His politics are also mind numbingly predictable

Yeah I think this is right

Obviously this is racist and gross, but it's also shockingly historically illiterate? No one who has taken a single high school world history course would deny that Arab culture has produced incredible science and literature. This is why we need basic humanities education.

The quincy institute doing multiple events with noted far right lunatic joe kent is wildly irresponsible

Suicidal libertarian guy is safe, no one was hurt www.wral.com/news/local/s...

I've trained my dog to salivate at the sound of a bell thanks to my invention, the edible bell

Oh that's excellent stuff. Strongly approve.

Essentially a "FFS I dunno what do parents usually put for something like this?" which is a perfect use case for an LLM. I would totally do this if I was a parent. I do not believe it held that much meaning for their kid, given it was a school task.

Ok I'm going to be all in team Mayer here - it's a slightly irritating task, and your job is to pick something that is unremarkable enough for the teacher not to think you're a weirdo and the kid not to get picked on, but specific enough for the kid to then draw a picture of it or whatever.

“If suburban moms become convinced of the righteousness of socialist politics, we might win. But what’s much more important to us is being self righteous online.”

Ramaswamy’s ad aimed to enforce the stigma against rape victims that positions them as objects of suspicion and disgust at worst, patronizing pity at best. The Acton campaign now has to pitch a rape victim as something audiences aren’t used to imagining them being: competent, capable, and dignified.

gang i’m running from the cops but i gotta poast

I gotta say, if Rs closing argument in Montana is to trans-scaremonger about ‘men’ in ‘girls’ sports/bathrooms, they really are flailing

And who is going to give them this “cast-iron security guarantee”? A genie?

As usual the article is about a deranged bigoted backlash to a Democrat but concludes that Democrats need to do better.

Goddamn.

Holy shit

elmo is nondenominational megachurch. started out small and harmless, then someone figured out how to monetize and quickly took over.

just saw the “every blue muppet is jewish” video, and i feel compelled to note that miss piggy had a presbyterian wedding in “muppets take manhattan” but an anglican wedding in “muppets most wanted”. i like to think she’s a lapsed episcopalian who can’t remember what her denomination is called.

in a research library that has most of the entire set of the documentary history of the ratification of the constitution and i am in hog heaven

This headline structure is literally the joke format we use to make fun of people like this

I also love how the three things it comes up with are the most anodyne, generic three things a person can say about a child. 'Cold, boring and hates animals' would have been actually interesting, at least.

How I wish this were true

Really seems like a mask slip moment for the skinsuit set. Maybe I'm built different but I do know 3 things I like about my own kids. Fuck it, I held a stranger's fat little baby for 3 minutes last week and I could easily give you 5 things I liked about that excellent little gentleman right now.

Flavio has announced he will consider his options with his family, who have gathered to support him at his father's home: the emergency ward at Papuda Penitentiary.

The presenter of #r4today opines.

Women often ask me: "why are you such a great feminist ally?" But I always reply: "don't worry your pretty little head about it, sweet cheeks." After all, women (all of whom are beautiful) have enough to worry about, given patriarchy suppressing their wages and fundamental rights to bodily autonomy.

Ok. That was fun. Next stop. Israel's elections on Tuesday. Then we got U.S. midterms and then we have elections in Spain.
