suppose you had a brother, do you think he would like kugel?
Charlottesville was a preview of the future of the Republican Party.
Mike Nellis@mikenellis.bsky.social · 23h agoNEWS: GOP candidate in NY-19 posted a photo of his grandfather in a full Nazi uniform, swastikas and all, on Veterans Day w/ the caption "I salute all who served." Oberacker sat on the GOP's antisemitism working group and already had to fire his campaign manager over the "I love Hitler" group chat.
this and bukayo saka are the things that make me proud to be british
Luke Tryl@luketryl.bsky.social · 19h agoThis is a bit older but I come back to a lot as it shows quite how remarkable the lack of polarisation on Ukraine in the UK is - the average Reform voter is more likely to sympathise with Ukraine over Russia than the *average* member of the public overall in France, Germany, the US and Poland.
whatever it takes. as long as it takes. slava ukraini.
The Guardian@theguardian.com · 2d agoBurnham to visit Ukraine with promise of boost for Kyiv’s long-range missiles
Ukraine’s Independence Day is a reminder of something the Kremlin has spent years trying to deny: Ukraine is a sovereign country. Its future belongs to Ukrainians. Its alliances, identity and political choices are not Moscow’s to decide. Happy Independence Day, Ukraine 🇺🇦
“It’s impossible that Jason Arday could have got his post without DEI,” say people about an industry which can find 200 academics willing to sign a letter in support of David Miller and another 200 academics willing to support Nathan Cofnas.
BeijingPalmer@beijingpalmer.bsky.social · 2d agoI'm sorry, but if you think Nathan Cofnas being suspended for being a racist is an 'academic freedom' issue you are the dumbest fucking mark alive.
i regret very much that i agree with this.
post malone ergo propter malone@proptermalone.bsky.social · 5d agoi am reasonably confident that i could figure out a way any person on Bluesky could use a $20 OpenAI or Claude subscription to improve some aspect of their life in fifteen minutes of talking through it, if they're willing to try in good faith
I’m glad that, even if only in the example of Fedorov for now, new political stars are emerging in Ukraine, and that they are building their standing on a genuine track record of achievements for the country during the war.
just to be clear, what I think is happening here is that (white) Americans dislike the fixed point unmanned cameras because they can no longer talk their way out of a ticket, and I think they need to get over it for the sake of non white Americans
Cambridge University should have known better, Fleet Street should have known better, the people hungrily absorbing every bit of news about it, making newsrooms feel like they had to keep going with it as a story, should have known better, horrible horrible horrible
AOC should do a Kyiv visit if she wants to run. It would break brains in a good way.
this story was concocted in a lab to drive me, personally, insane www.bbc.com/news/article...
Harry Potter fans force power link diversion to avoid Dobby's grave
Potter fans complained after a project manager suggested cables would go under the grave in a BBC interview.

All the Fauci stuff is a modern day version of the POW/MIA stuff after Vietnam - a way to try to rewrite the history of a huge failure of conservative ideology to be instead a story about how liberals and foreigners stabbed us in the back.
it’s fine (good, even) for Hackney to de-twin from Haifa but this sentiment is shameful and appalling, and indicative of a deep rot within the Green Party.
Zack Polanski is just fundamentally too online to be the leader of a political party.
I think the rise of the super-staffer has been pretty bad for politics tbh. If you want to have a Brand run for office
Increasingly think we need a ‘modernity is actually good’ political tendency. the right is putatively pro-industry and economic growth but thinks science is gay and wants to throw out vaccines for essential oils, the left putatively believes science but also embraces crank degrowth NIMBYism
Straightforwardly, we should reallocate a lot of money away from rural and exurban subsidies and towards cities, because the status quo has prosperous, tolerant places heavily subsidizing places that hate and oppress them. I think we should stop doing that.
DSA Dripped Out Baddie Caucus, MSW (NOT A MAN)@acabcalloway.bsky.social · last mo.Hi, as someone who grew up in a rural area and realistically can never return, I am fine with conditioning farm aid/highway and infra money/Medicare and Medicaid/etc on rural deNazification efforts.
my most authoritarian belief is probably that I'm basically fine with passive automated surveillance in public spaces especially wrt to cars. I think the backlash to speed cameras and automated license plate readers is mostly stupid given the clear public safety benefits.
There are real (though in my opinion overrated) differences and divergences between J-Street and AIPAC, but uh, there are basically none between AIPAC and DMFI, which is AIPAC but for Dems.
I had the privilege of working with Senator Dracula on my bill offering tax cuts to family-owned mortuaries. While we disagreed on much and his horrible embrace has left me unable to endure sunlight, I'll always remember his amusing little jokes about exsanguinating my staff.
Senator Graham is survived by his godchild, the Iran War
