It's the guns. I've always said that a good guy with a gun is a bad guy with a gun when he catches someone with his wife/GF-but now it's when he's mad about a parking spot. We live in the stupidest country in the stupidest of times. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Sadly, the Idaho legislature appears to disagree with you and is perfectly happy to see moronic parents killing their children by withholding lifesaving medical care. It's utterly obscene.
Fourteen years ago, HBO's 'The Newsroom' laid out the truth about voter ID in this segment. It’s striking how little the arguments — or the tactics — have changed. Still a solution in search of a problem. History doesn’t repeat itself — it gets rerun.
Yes, it should have been him over Dolly. But let’s be real, it should have been him over LITERALLY anyone. Him over the guy who died from fentanyl on the street. Him over 103 year old Ethel passing away in the nursing home. Him over that squirrel that got hit by a car.
This is an unusually direct piece addressing the NY Times' constant both-sidesing of the parties/denigration of anyone progressive - all while allegedly being part of the much feared and denigrated liberal media (LOL); www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
Why does the New York Times keep calling the left ‘divisive’?

Read this poem from Brian Bilston - and then read it from bottom to top.
“The city’s transition away from the car, tho fantastically chaotic, has become a global role model. Under mayor @annehidalgo.bsky.social, Paris was ‘the most influential city in the world’ says Canadian urbanist Brent Toderian. Hidalgo, stepping down after 12 yrs, exulted: ‘The bike beat the car.’”
How Paris beat the car
Though chaotic, the city’s transition has become a global role model

Interesting piece that posits, pretty convincingly, that while US incomes are generally higher than incomes in western Europe, the US in fact has higher levels of poverty, with people not as well off. The villain is greater inequality in the US. www.euronews.com/business/202...
