The US wants to blackmail the EU into releasing European strategic diesel reserves. It's like dealing with the Mob. It's bully-boy tactics. Germany must not give in to Trump’s attempt at blackmail. (Aber bei #Reiche @bundeswirtschaftsministerium.de … 😬)

Thank YOU. I believe profoundly that the only correct response to pleasure is gratitude rather than guilt

Zach Cregger accomplished the impressive task of making a movie that feels almost exactly like watching my friend play a pretty good video game. I wouldn't quite call it a good movie, but it did enjoy most of it.

Sommer 2026: 16.000 Hitzetote 🥵 alleine in 🇩🇪. Dürre. Brände. 🤯 Die Bundesregierung subventioniert jetzt mit 2.500.000.000 € von unseren Steuergeldern die Ursache der Hitze: fossile Brennstoffe. Unfassbar. 🤯🤯🤯 Das meiste Geld landet dann wieder bei den Ölkonzernen, der Lobby gegen Klimaschutz.

It has three sections or ‘actions’ that he wishes his allies to take: Action 1: Promote Knowledge of the Cause of Race Differences Action 2: Change the Population of Decision Makers on Campus Action 3: Leverage Political Power If you don’t think this is political, you’re not paying attention

The terminally agora- brained who imagine that in defending Cofnas they’re defending an abstract space of disinterested academic inquiry may wish to look at his 2023 essay ‘How to Take Back Academia’, which makes it clear that he is engaged in a political project …

A key element in the mainstreaming of reactionary politics was to get mainstream actors to engage with reactionary ideas as if they were legitimate debates Mainstream actors fell for it as they generally "won" the argument but by engaging at all they legitimised the reactionary position 1/

The man's skeletal injuries looked like a train hit him, but he died in 1304 CE. At #ppa26Berlin last week, @uniofbradford.bsky.social scientist Jo Buckberry concluded he was likely whacked by a flying boulder, making him the first confirmed trebuchet death in the archaeological record. @science.org

They always remove the historical emergence of the concept, imagining that it just burst onto the scene in its most recuperated and popular form

similarly 100% of the complaints about "dei" that were remotely valid are actually problems of coporate hr and administrative flak-handling generally one thing the culture war does is mystify banal social problems like this, conditioning an outsized reactionary grievance response to inconvenience

I'm old enough to remember when polio put my friends into iron lungs. We dutifully lined up at school to get vaccinated. We eradicated the disease. We protected the common good and saved lives. What RFK Jr. is doing to public health in America is a disgrace.

ABOLISH ICE, PROSECUTE THE MFS

Video of an ICE agent pulling a gun on a wife and mother, who is a US citizen born and raised in the area, near Bailey's Crossroads in Northern Virginia yesterday. Chillingly, they claimed she “almost ran them over” until she told them she had video proving that was a lie.

PKI Norway's current strategy for fighting bad trans research coming out of the nordic gender clinics is something to pay attention to, as it's slowly getting results. Wins here matter globally because the nordics are a major exporter of anti-trans pseudoscience.

For those not used to academic discourse, this is basically as close to calling bullshit as it's possible to get in a scientific journal

from the moment it was founded activists and human rights watchdogs have warned that DHS was constructed to be an almost unaccountable private paramilitary force at the president's sole disposal.

DHS was originally conceived in the interest of unity and harmony — and the phrase "homeland security" was originally meant to be reassuring. n.pr/4nOx8KP
