Isn’t Zelenskyy Jewish. And Ukraine primarily Orthodox?

Why does the pope seem to exert influence over states with not much catholics?

National Weather Service was gutted by Trump so we don’t have proper warning for tornadoes and stuff.

Abusing institutional power to silence critics of genocide. That’s not a nice look.

A lot of the left always knew that academia and university were inherently political and not “pure truth” or “pure science” as people idealise them to be.

I hope those who would always argue that academia is pretty much perfect are now taking note.

Good rule.

Labour, Democrats, Liberals (Canada), Labour (Australia) etc. They are all parties of the neoliberal elite. They may fly rainbow flags and occasionally add small welfare, but they ultimately answer to corporate doners.

doesnt this exist? seed banks

“slams” “blasts” “rips”

If it makes you feel better, I think it’s a completely normal reaction to your situation. When I became bedridden and was mostly abandoned by family and friends. I often used LLMs for discussions. Though I didn’t use the sort of character ai thing, just a plain old LLM without a personality, but it kept me intellectually engaged when I had no one to share my ideas with, emotionally resilient when I didn’t have friends or family to vent to or support me.

I really don’t think you should care if people who haven’t been through the kind of immense suffering it takes to lose the functioning of your body and be abandoned by the people you love, think it is normal or not.

Exactly. There are endangered birds and amphibians who call my garden home. I do not want cats going in there and killing them for sport.

Get a catio! Don’t destroy native wildlife.

I love the painting. They seem really good at shading.

Depends how hard you’re willing to try. (/s, for legal reasons)

Yup. That’s what happens when we hand over all the power to a few people.

We get excited when those priviledged people, who are literally the ones who oppress us, make choices that helps us a little.

What? I’m guessing Taiwan isn’t a real country. People in Hong Kong didn’t have right to self determination.

The bulletts in fired on the Indian border were fake news?

Same. I used to be an avid reader as a young adult but I couldn’t bear them anymore with how little they care about people. It’s all money money money, not people.

To be fair, the economist is shit.

They cheer welfare cuts that are projected to put tens of thousands of children into poverty and complain about tiny tax increases on the rich.

The economist is the magazine of the upper class. They may be neo-liberal instead of straight up facist, but they are morally bankrupt.

Since your Australia section is lacking, here’s a couple:

transport > transit

ute > pickup truck

bogan > redneck

metro > subway

cyclone > hurricane

The state wants to keep its monopoly on violence.

As a long COVID advocate, we’ve tried and tried sharing our stories and all we get is ridicule and “why didn’t you try acupuncture and exercise”. So we’re starting to focus more on the economic impacts as the average person seems to actually care about that.
