I love the round things

WE HAD THE WHOLE PLANET DOING OPERATION PAPERCLIP ON THEMSELVES! FOR FREE! NOT EVEN FOR FREE, WE MADE THEM PAY US TO DO IT! “THANK YOU FOR STEALING OUR BEST CHILDREN, AMERICA”, THEY WERE SAYING, “CAN WE ALSO GIVE YOU MILLIONS OF DOLLARS BESIDES”! YOU! STUPID! BITCH!

Politicians who fanned these flames should hang their heads in shame. Time and again we've seen this story play out. Single incidents used to fuel a far right narrative - and communities across the nation paying the price.

Huge fires encompassing a street with buildings, cars and the majority of the street on fire with plumes of black smoke.

On that day, the fash 'peacefully expressed' themselves by doing sig heils and throwing full beer bottles and cans, fireworks and trash at us while we were kettled outside a Trafalgar tourist shop for several hours. This has, for some strange reason, never been mentioned in the papers

The BBC’s description of people who choose to attend a Tommy Robinson march. “Peacefully expressing their interpretation of British identity”

The first Unite the Kingdom event staged by Yaxley-Lennon last September drew at least 100,000 to London. While many of those attending saw it as an opportunity to peacefully express their interpretation of British identity, there were a series of clashes with the police and anti-Muslim hate speech incidents.

Every time I see someone talk about Claude I think about how they switched from female to male names as soon as they wanted the robots to seem like experts vs personal assistants.

Love how we had this series of extremely contentious and contemptuous interactions with this website's higher ups where they pretty much told us to our face "Yeah we're using Al to code, you fucking peasant. Deal with it." immediately followed by a good month of very frequent outages on the website.

21st century political violence in the US doesn't really come from the left. It comes almost entirely from one of two places: 1. The far right. 2. Neurotic weirdos overwhelmed by pain and chaos with unmappable political opinions.

A defeat like this will change European politics. A few thoughts. 1. Running vs. EU has costs - publics aren't anti-EU and EU can hold back funding. Being an obstructionist jerk in Brussels has tangible political downsides. This strengthens the leverage of the EU and deters obstructionists. 1/

Contrary to public perception a huge % of pregnant teenagers in the 1990s were impregnated by adult men. The younger they were, the larger the average age gap between mother and father was. Fixing teen pregnancy was in part a clampdown on statutory rape. That's what conservatives want to reverse.

Fox News doc on lower fertility rate: "The problem is teens and young adults, from ages 15-19 the fertility rate is down 7%, and it's down 70% over the last two decades, meaning we're telling people that are young not have babies, to wait until they're in a more stable life situation"

I feel like someone with far more moral authority than me needs to say this, over and over: Trump entrusted the fate of the country, the world economy, and thousands of service members, to his wildly conflicted son-in-law and developer buddy, who reportedly didn't know fuckall that they were hearing

Fun fact: the rover would be able to drive perfectly fine even if the inner 2/3 of the wheel rim totally breaks off. There is enough toque in the wheel motors to pull the entire rover up a vertical wall if only one of them was operating. It could drive fine if the wheels were square.
