So sehen Verbotsverfahren aus, wenn man zu lange wartet.

reading Rachel Cusk, her meticulous attention to the quality of every moment, I wonder whether anyone has written an account of the experience of scrolling - which is surely the most common intense experience of attention in the developed world now. scrolling resists being taken seriously, I think

You know who else was salty about Nobel prizes? No, really.

Trump: "The United States of America, represented by me as your president, should have received the Nobel Peace Prize, but didn't. This is an indelible stain on the country of Norway. We will not forget, Norway." (note how tepid the crowd response is to this whining)

Sometimes my wife and I like to send each other text messages as though they’re democratic fundraising messages, and I believe she has produced the jewel of the form.

Dozens of soldiers, militants and miners killed in Nigeria attacks

Nigerian troops killed more than 25 Islamic State-aligned militants as they ‌fought off an assault on a military position in northeastern Borno State, suffering an unknown number of casualties of their own, military sources and a member of the civilian defence force said on Wednesday.

Have now slowly re-read the ruling, and it is even more damning than at first reading. The ruling pretty much sets out Manchester City was fraudulent on a systemic long-term basis. Not just mere non-compliance, but ‘concealments’ and ‘disguises’. Also some MCFC witnesses were ‘dishonest’.

My friend Tony has published his first novel. For just 99 cents, you bag a fast-moving, witty thriller rattling through the UK, Nigeria, and the Middle East. I'd love it if anyone were up for buying it, leaving reviews, and generally supporting him: a.co/d/01EOx1A5 or shorturl.at/5eUiy

BSW u CDU sind raus aus dem Landtag in MV. interessanter Fakt: nur noch Parteien, die der 💩fD vor Ort frontal die Stirn boten, sind - ausser der 💩fD selbst - noch im Landtag MV. Alle, die sich anbiederten, sind draussen - oder kommen gar nicht erst rein. #ltwmv

The liberal notion of acquiescing to reduced-to-removed rights by fascists so everybody else can I guess defeat fascism with the power of the ballot betrays their perception of us: that our identities and sexes and genders and lives and loves are a choice and that we have been humored long enough

Picked up a copy of "Hyperpolitics" on a whim after seeing it promoted all over the place and I can only conclude that Verso have an amazing marketing department because there's not much substance here and the evidence base is weak.

The Wikipedia article for the Theta Chi frat has a section for "Local Chapter or Member Misconduct" that doesn't yet mention this incident, that seems like an oversight. (It's clear from the description of what happened that this frat is rotten to the core.) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theta_C...

For months, the burners who posted Maddie’s video remained anonymous. They even made a cryptocurrency out of her name, valued at $11k. So she hired a lawyer to unmask them. And what she learned stunned her. Read my investigation for @wired.com, out now: www.wired.com/story/burner...

Maddie Kowalski is one of countless young women who’ve had their lives destroyed by the burnerverse, a loosely connected online community of sports fans. Now she’s fighting back.

Let me say as loudly as I can to all the Europeans on here who have been rightly appalled watching the Trump regime’s third-country removals: Your government has been watching, too, and they like what they see.

Denmark aims to send rejected migrants to 'return hubs' by 2027

Perfectly fair to say that if a senior member of its staff was caught on camera proposing dodgy, potentially illegal and fraudulent deals with wealthy individuals, that person clearly brings the University of Cambridge into disrepute. Don't hold your breath. It's a white male 'conservative'.

If I were a party strategist, I'd keep hammering at Reform's money. This isn't some "people's army". It's a party owned and paid for by some of the richest people on the planet, which is awash with cash but can't find "British resident donors that would support us". www.youtube.com/watch?v=aXut...

As a new Harry Potter trailer makes the rounds, it bears repeating that there’s no way to watch this show without supporting J.K. Rowling’s bigotry and the structural violence she’s inflicting on the trans community.

There is no ethical consumption of HBO’s Harry Potter series

You can’t without supporting Rowling’s transphobic bigotry.

fwiw, one reason young people are more attracted to egalitarian philosophies is that no young person is actually rich. children don't own any property in their own name. this is not just a tecnicality; it's a material reality that has realy material consequences. 1

idk why do 60 year olds with erectile dysfunction like reading the same article over and over

the trans moral panic pushed by the NYT and Atlantic is about transphobia, obviously, but it's also about older wealthy readers believing that as adults they have the right to control their children's identities and futures.

It will never stop being funny to me that the street fighter subreddit has a much better, well reasoned ai policy vis a vis literally all universities.

Footballers are in the news paper again for sexual abuse. aAnd all the headlines say football has a misogyny problem. Yes it does, very much, but can I ask is there any institution filled predominantly with men with access to money and some power that doesn't have a misogyny problem?
