Whoever said the Minbari are like if a yoga class formed a cult and became a major world power... correct

if establishment candidates want to start winning primaries again all you have to do is say that rich people have too much money and that youll prosecute trump admin staffers and republicans that have broken the law
If you read fiction and you don't like AI you're a hypocrite. If you eat monster munch and don't like asbestos you're a blacksmith. If you play videogames and don't like stubbing your toe you're a submarine captain. We can all just SAY things. It's not hard.
New York City’s business elites are long accustomed to direct access to City Hall, where even Democratic mayors felt the need to court the city’s wealthiest and most influential corporate leaders. That access is getting shredded by Mayor Zohran Mamdani.

If you can’t think of anything nice to say, I believe there’s a vacancy at The Spectator.
My column on how capital becomes a death cult. Faced with a choice between profit and human life, the radical right chooses profit. Then it tries to persuade us that mass death is what we want. It's the new phase of climate denial: accept your fate, earthlings. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Sometimes I have to stop and remember that the new Labour segregation laws coming in today were introduced by using segregation: not a single trans person or organisation’s point of view was allowed to be heard when this plan was concocted. It’s not segregation day today, it’s been here for years.
Sophie Molly@sophiemolly.co.uk · 18h agoHappy Secregation Day! Woop woop! Just kidding about the happy part, but it is segregation day. #SegrationIsDiscrimination #SegragationDay
