"oh we almost-never win against a first-term incumbent, we're keeping our powder dry for the next election" is a hell of a thing to say to people being negatively affected by the government's policy NOW
I was willing to give Labour a certain amount of grace up until the budget announcement, because they SAID post-budget they'd start unveiling policy. They unveiled like two policies then immediately went back to sitting on their hands.
hey gang, a far-right party is using this election to gauge whether locking trans people out of civil society has a public mandate, and they've proven they can twist the coalition's arm to get whatever they want. We are in danger. Can you fucking do something.
So many Republican male lawmakers have been accused of physical and sexual violence against women that the report about this guy, who harassed his employees with unsolicited gifts, inappropriate comments, and demands for dinners, seems almost quaint. www.nytimes.com/2026/08/03/u...

Famous onsen towns like Kusatsu and Gero can get overcrowded. Enter Suwa, a lakeside town in the middle of Nagano Prefecture that pairs old-school bathhouses with serene lake scenery. Compact and low-key, it hasn't been choked by overtourism (well, yet).

Japan is popular. Hot springs are super popular. But Suwa, an onsen town in Nagano Prefecture, remains a hidden gem.

Me, as we take the train through northern Saskatchewan: This is not the flat part. Various Europeans: What? Them, half a day later: Oh my god. Me: It gets flatter, we're just not going to see that part.
Amelinda Bérubé@metuiteme.bsky.social · 17h agoAbout 2h out from Saskatoon and people who are not from the prairies just don't understand - my god this is the most beautiful place in the world. Just sitting in the back seat tearing up periodically, don't mind me

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 21h agoTAPPER: One of the files you released was an image of your daughter naked. It was available for a day before it was removed. Your ex-wife's attorney says it could quality as CSAM. That's shockingly reckless behavior MAX MILLER: I wouldn't say it's shockingly reckless. There was no genitalia exposed

Assault, misogyny, verbal threats: Records detail new allegations against Rep. Max Miller
Police reports and filings in a bitter custody dispute raise new questions about the conduct of an Ohio Republican as he campaigns for a third term.

honestly can't stress enough, as a former family law attorney, how depressingly common Max Miller's behavior and words are, right down to the petty fixation on custody procedure and rules when faced with allegations of shocking violence.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 21h agoRep. Max Miller: "When I was reported for child abuse of my daughter for a broken collarbone, my daughter was in my ex-wife's care 9 out of the last 11 days and she took her to the emergency room, which is a contempt violation from our shared parenting plan."
It was so damn depressing to watch every TV writer who was willing and eager to have open, intelligent conversations about their process get hounded off social by a combination of aggressive stans and belligerent wannabes defending the right to be a shithead to creatives
C. Robert Cargill@crobertcargill.bsky.social · 18h agoI keep thinking about the discourse from the other day suggesting writers are gatekeeping writing information for ourselves and I just think back to 2019 when every writer was out there giving away writing advice until one by one each stopped because social media blows and we can't have nice things.
I’m still here but that’s because my primary online identity is #TTRPG nerd who hates capitalism rather than screenwriter. Branding works!

Heather Burns@heatherburnstech.bsky.social · yesterdayThe most terrifying enshittification I've discovered has been learning that Microsoft Word documents no longer auto-save if you are not saving them to one of their own proprietary cloud services. I'm slapping control-S like it's 1999.
Surely someone has studied our modern epidemic of conservative men with unwashed asses.
Ben Collins@bencollins.bsky.social · 21h agoOh my god the dietician who is telling everyone in the White House to only eat steak and sauerkraut doesn't wipe his ass.
amazing how so few of the gazillion think pieces criticizing women for not dating straight men fail to mention the whole “many of them literally don’t wash their asses” thing:
Nikolaj Bill@nikolajbill.bsky.social · 17h agoI remember a coworker in her late twenties saying this on how dating was so difficult. I was not surprised by her first two complaints: general anger issues and having few outside hobbies. I WAS surprised at her mention of how many men apparently don’t wash their hair or butts.
