This isn't a socialist this is social democracy. It's inoffensive as social democracy but you cannot under any definition call it a socialist programme. Matter of fact this would already be the Democratic Party platform if the party weren't thoroughly controlled by rich corpo boomers.

Abdul El-Sayed on capitalism: “I’m capitalist who just knows about capitalism. I have a bad habit of reading, I’m so sorry.”

We’ve spoken about capitalism versus socialism. Do you want to talk about capitalism? Let’s talk about capitalism. Are you recording? Capitalism is about leveraging the laws of supply and demand to efficiently allocate capital expenditure to maximize value. When capitalism works, it’s because you have free entry and exit into markets. So if you believe in capitalism, you have to believe in government regulation to protect markets. In fact, right now, we have exactly the opposite. You don’t have to be a socialist to believe that you should be taxing billionaires their wealth. In fact, if you are a capitalist, you should believe in that. So, I’m capitalist who just knows about capitalism. I have a bad habit of reading, I’m so sorry.

Explosive Blooms take place after the Sporotrhix fragoris yeast fully takes over the soft tissues of the body, silently saturating them with spores over years. Blooms tend to trigger under windy weather, often resulting in the death of the subject and the rapid spread of the infection.

A black and white picture. A man lays on the grass, his body appearing to explode into a thick cloud of dust that rises into the air from his clothes.

One of the key moments of the 1905 revolution in Russia was mutiny on the Battleship Potemkin over maggoty food, mold-covered quarters, and arbitrary discipline. We wont get a revolutionary uprising from w/in US military but conditions can make them much less likely to fight to protect the regime

It sometimes feels like we're living in a ridiculously exaggerated folk tale with wildly implausible villains. For example, as the president takes billions for himself and his family and *coats his things in gold,* the soldiers fighting his war can't get toothpaste, hot water, or a clean toilet.

Seems bad? Sen. Boozman of Arkansas is now voting for Mitch McConnell, claiming that McConnell talked to him and gave him permission to cast his vote. The photo on the article here is old, from before McConnell's crisis. No one's seen him. No reporters talked to him. But people are using his vote.

This is misogyny and anti-disability discrimination on par with old-timey doctors claiming women are prone to ‘hysteria’ and the vapours. It is unacceptable seeing this in any newspaper. UK philosophers should loudly condemn it as a whole, since it is authored by an ex-colleague. It is wrong

Why are young women using walking sticks? A disproportionate number of Gen Z females are affected by vague syndromes and may be victims of social contagion Kathleen Stock Wednesday August 05 2026, 9.00pm BST, The Times Listen • 5:42 min Share In 19th-century Paris, walking with a cane was a symbol of the dandyish flâneur, strolling elegantly around the city with an ironically arched eyebrow. In 21st-century Britain, canes are the unironic preserve of vulnerable looking girls. Sometimes you see groups of them, each leaning on a walking stick as they edge gingerly along. Startlingly fresh-faced users have been visible at Pride parades for a while, and there are growing numbers on university campuses. The message sent to onlookers is about a life spent in pain; though what kind of pain, exactly, remains unclear. TikTok has hundreds of videos on the subject: how to match your stick to your outfit, how to dance with a cane, how mobility aids can still look hot. And the trend is not just for walking aidsTo point this possibility out tends to produce anger in those affected or those that care for them. Arguing that certain kinds of disability are socially created, particularly in females, looks at odds with the dictum that young women with chronic illnesses tend to be disbelieved by doctors, and that this is a very bad thing. When talking about trends across huge populations, though, both things can be true - indeed, they might even be connected. And in the socially constructed case, we are still talking about illness rather than deliberate feigning. It's just that the source of illness is, in part, a story the sufferer has unconsciously learnt. And this is very good news. For unlike biologically fixed disorders, stories can be changed for the better, and happier endings produced for the sufferers concerned. Rather than it being cruel to say this, in fact, it is cruel not to. We owe it to potentially able-bodied young people to challenge their tendencies to neuroticism and fear; to get them out into the world as functioning adults, wherever that is possible. For their sake, we need to help them ditch the props, and - quite literally - to stand on their own two feet. Kathleen Stock is a contributing editor at UnHerd Hugo Rifkind is away

An insurrection by definition is proletarian but a class alliance between upper middle class and wealthy is a coup. Liberal discourse about Jan 6th stuff ignores how much more like a coup attempt it was than an insurrection. But coup attempts are also more normal and acceptable to collaborationists

"Cool dude, see you in discovery!" is the obvious UNO Reverse card to Trump's attempts to bully organizations by suing them for a trillion dollars. It's a massive indictment of the US system that one after another institutions and major organizations settled and paid bribes rather than play it.

Decency and compassion missed an entire generation. Coming back after losing my youth to hate hits a certain way. You see trans teenagers. You see the aging parents of the kids who were assholes to you in school. They're so glad to see you and also so glad to pretend nothing happened.

One of the more fascinating and complex magical problems of my life has been preserving the wards I’ve spent a lifetime weaving into my soon-to-be-demolished home—on top of the very human problem of navigating loss. So…that’s where I’ve been and what I’ve been up to and wanted to say “hi.”
