I like the phrasing like Nicolas Cage is a historical civilization we have a lot of ambiguity about like the Sea People.

I feel like you could probably show this headline to an ancient pharoah and they would be like "okay, this all makes sense to me."
me finding out that Ted Cruz has made an embarrassing gaffe around 9/11

Really funny to launch a meme coin by explicitly going "and you suckers and losers, this one's for you."

This is basically a push poll and Zohran still beat it.

OSINT Mirror Feed@osint-mirrors.bsky.social · yesterdaySource: @osinttechnical on X The head of Rossotrudnichestvo, Igor Chaika, attempted to downplay Russia's deteriorating relationship with Armenia today, but admitted that "there are ups and downs." The admission comes as Russia's influence in the Caucasus wanes due to the war in Ukraine.
This guy is like if Immortan Joe somehow had worse politics and also somehow a weirder more fucked up body.

Wrt 9/11, I'm pretty sympathetic to the "the US shouldn't feel secure from senseless acts of violence while routinely commuting them", and unsympathetic to the "9/11 made sense" or "9/11 was good in a utilitarian sense" ones. These get mixed together a lot
A very poor choice by the ABC for this headline and photo combination.
When taken together it’s clear that global capital is choosing to spend its largesse on completing the Business Plot But Everywhere
The declining labor share of income is the class war crystallized and everything progressives want is downstream of putting the power of capital on a leash. www.hamiltonnolan.com/p/capital-is...
Capital Is Organizing the World to Its Advantage and Everything Else Is a Sideshow
Capitalism or humanity, but not both.

Right. Like, MAHA isn’t a push for equitable access to care. It’s eugenics under the guise of “healthy living.” There’s plenty of somewhat normalizing woo and almond mom and ~natural~ in the mix, but that’s just noise. The signal is the strongest survive, and no regard for the lessers who don’t.
Michael Hobbes@michaelhobbes.bsky.social · 2d agoSecond, MAHA isn’t all that concerned with treatment of disease anyway. Its core claim is that nearly all diseases can be prevented through virtuous lifestyles. If we were all drinking raw milk and taking zinc supplements, we wouldn’t be coming down with heart disease and depression and COVID.
Republicans are interested in protecting women's sports the same way the mafia is interested in protecting your store because it sure would be a shame if something were to happen to it, your kneecaps, and your family.

POLITICO Europe@politico.eu · 3d agoExit polls suggest the Alternative for Germany party is on track to win today's crucial regional election in Saxony-Anhalt that will determine whether the far right will hold a position of real power in the country for the first time since World War II.
Yeah fundamentally a lot of conspiracism (and populism) is based on "i was told something i did not want to hear and in response I am creating my own reality" It underlines everything from Covid to the last election.
ae@aelkus.bsky.social · 3d agoi also don't really know how to deal with the realities that medicine is always going to involve telling people things they don't want to hear and there are few occasions you go to a doctor because you're looking forward to something
Brown Eyed Susan@browneyedsusan.bsky.social · 4d agowww.forbes.com/sites/maryro... The EU rejected this beef due to safety standards, but it’s being imported to the U.S. duty-free anyway. Why are we lowering standards on what we eat? If it isn't safe enough for the EU, it shouldn't be on our plates!
