Very tiring how it's closing in on 5 years of the full scale invasion and people still insist this is about "legitimate security concerns" when the Russians will just tell you what their goals are and why they're doing what they're doing

"Wherever Russian troops arrive, Ukrainians cease to exist." At an official event in Moscow, Russian Lieutenant Colonel Alexey Selivanov openly admitted their true goal is the total erasure of Ukrainian identity.

Ik ben met enige spoed op zoek naar onderdak in Amsterdam. Wie heeft de gouden tip? Ex-student, 32, queer, rook niet, drink niet, ben zeer schoon en rustig. Cool met kamergenoten, nog cooler als ik een dak boven mijn hoofd heb. Huurprijs maximaal 1000 euro. Please repost <3

I’m sure most of you aren’t watching the US Open right now which means you missed this instantly iconic moment, now available in gif form

one piece of advice i can share as a parent: certain phases can be really tough, but they do pass. around 18 months my son kept demanding that i condemn hasan piker. all day and night too, i was at the end of my rope. now he’s really into fire trucks. it’s always something new

Yesterday I saw someone on here say that expecting a date to be showered and groomed is a theft of their bodily autonomy and I'm still thinking about it. I may never stop thinking about it.

"Milo got arrested!" "That's good!" "By an unaccountable secret police force" "That's bad" "He supported them, though, so there's delicious irony at play." "That's good!" "But they came for him because fascist power has reached a point where petty infighting can lead to arrests" "That's bad"

The predictable Discourse is starting and I'm going to take a strong stand here: you can both want to abolish ICE and laugh really, really hard at Milo Yiannopoulos getting arrested by ICE after a decade of stoking the ethnonationalist hatred that led us to this point

Is it just me or has something shifted with GTA? It's coming across as an Andrew Tate fantasy simulator. Treat everyone with zero empathy, especially anyone trying to run a shop or restaurant. Can't help worrying what it'll do to the kids playing it, like some fuddy duddy.

Albert Verlinde meent dat de AvroTros mee moet doen met het Songfestival, omdat het juist een evenement is dat mensen samenbrengt. Maar brengt niet elk evenement mensen samen? Het zomerkamp van de Ku Klux Klan brengt ook mensen samen en toch heb ik besloten daar komend jaar niet aan deel te nemen.

Opinie | Alberts masterclass in onzuiver redeneren

Thomas Hogeling beschouwt wekelijks de publieke opinie. Wat wordt er gezegd en vooral niet gezegd?

Het doen van aangifte is een middel geworden om media-aandacht af te dwingen. Voor mijn nieuwsbrief dook ik in kansloze aangiftes, sprak erover met het OM en deel ik ideeën over hoe de journalistiek hier beter mee kan omgaan. “Vraag je af: laat ik me nou voor iemands karretje spannen?”

Hoe aangiftes worden misbruikt om media-aandacht te krijgen

Aangiftes zoals die tegen Sophie Straat zijn juridisch kansloos, maar bereiken precies hun doel.

We’re going to hear about how everyone loved Dolly, and that feels true. But it’s good to remember, and to her credit, that she was attacked for her AIDS activism, her vaccine advocacy, her LGBTQ+ support and even, more recently, for her reading initiatives. She ALWAYS stood firm when it mattered.

I think the thing the racist prof defenders imply but don't like to admit is there's no benefit to hiring/debating a guy who says mushrooms are created by fae because it's obviously silly but they do think it's worth your time to debate a race science guy because they think he's partially correct

If I turn up at the physics department ranting about the ether nobody is obliged to pretend that I must be given a job.

I also bristle at the idea that academic freedom means you can say any ole thing without evidence. Hell, if I say the police are predatory in my research, I have to pull fifteen thousand cites, but race scientists get to call me inherently dumb because I’m Black just cause? Absolutely not.
