I'm so fucking tired of people pointing to chromosomes to declare that sex is immutable.

Good thing we're gutting it with satellites
If you ever have the experience of seeing a night sky out in the deep countryside you can understand this; it really is a fundamentally different experience, and I can't imagine it not being formative to people.

The third day of Christmas is the feast of St John the Evangelist. St John’s, New Briggate, is a redundant Anglican church and is the oldest in Leeds city centre. It was built between 1632 and 1634 and in its own way tells the story of one of the country's most turbulent periods. Its

Bsky can be hard for people to get started on because it doesn't spoon feed you engaging rage bait and it's entirely what you make it.
Take control of what you're seeing. Cultivate your feeds. Remember when it gets "boring" that's okay because then you sign off and do better things with your time.

Someone screwed up the target development. Either Trump’s team got played by someone in the Nigerian government to settle a score for them or our own intel folks screwed up the targeing. Unfortunately, Hegseth got rid of the civilian harm mitigation folks that would’ve checked the homework.
A day after part of a missile fired by the United States hit their village, landing just meters from its only medical facility, the villagers of Jabo in northwest Nigeria are in a state of shock and confusion.

Ya know how we shake our heads at the stupidity of past societies having open sewers etc and getting cholera outbreaks, dysentery, whatever?
Will we ever look back at now and think that about not modernizing ventilation systems in schools and workplaces, after a major pandemic?

The world no longer makes sense, fuckwits are in charge of everything and the internet is even further on with its mission to ruin people’s brains forever. As an ameliorating factor, however, it definitely felt like there were far more butterflies around this year than there had been for a while.

The phrase "Sam Altman-backed aviation start-up Boom Supersonic" is a really good example of how difficult it is to have a serious conversation about the impacts of tech. It's like a post-DOGE coin hangover in which everything is cutesified because no one is able to grow up or take responsibility

JD Vance argues that having Muslims makes the UK and France too dangerous to have nukes, which will be great for US relations with India and Pakistan.
So if you’re keeping track, the Trump administration’s position on nuclear arms is:
North Korea: cool, nonthreatening
France and UK: bad, dangerous
So if you’re keeping track, the Trump administration’s position on nuclear arms is:

A case where the quote is even worse in context than out of context. JD is scaremongering about “Islamists” winning elections in the UK/France and then somehow militarily threatening the US. Saying we should hold Europeans and Africans to different moral standards but anti-wokely.
