burnt-out, neurodivergent, polygottal polymath and reconstructed emigré from the right-wing fever-swamps

Without a conscience, I could have been Q.

Had I been able to conform, I’d have been a pastor.

Now I’m some kind of artsy-fartsy, paganish commie.

Late Antique pogs??? 🙃
Some 1,500 years ago, a child was buried with a set of game pieces made of animal bones.
Single game pieces are frequently found in early medieval graves in south-west Germany, but complete sets are rare.
Found in Herbolzheim, 500-550 AD.

I feel as though something is pressing heavily on my chest sorrow and grief over the injustice endured by the women of Gaza, who, despite everything, still struggle to carry on with their lives. :(
Oh, what a sorrow we carry. 😢

The existence of trans people is not an "ideology", BBC. It is a reality and one which Parliament has recognized.

(Entirely typical of the BBC that, confronted by a populist right attack, they will show willing by dumping on trans people. Weak with the strong, strong with the weak, as always.)

I’ve taught this method to college-bound ESL students. Sure, it teaches some cheats which can be useful, but (Senshi hat) nothing beats experience with words and their shades of denotations and connotations. Increasingly, we are a society of people who only know the cheaty way.

Gavazzeni claimed “many, many, many Italians” were alleged to have been involved, without providing a figure. “There were Germans, French, English … people from all western countries who paid large sums of money to be taken there to shoot civilians.”

"One shudders to think how many children have died [from dehydration or sepsis while trapped beneath rubble] in Gaza."
A civil society group in Gaza on Thursday appealed for international assistance to help recover the bodies of more than 10,000 Palestinians killed by Israeli forces who remain buried beneath the rubble of the flattened strip.

Calling bipartisanship, under the most fascist regime this country has ever faced, "bisexuality" is so revolting and crass that it disqualifies you not just from office but from the entire queer community.

I get it though. It feels downright abusive that the people who will likely end the species maximizing valuations are being described by press as literal saviors come to rid us of work and disease, while they build massive death machines that require more resources than physically exist on earth.

Strange as it sounds, I think many people find a perverse comfort in the idea that the worst possible climate change outcome is not only possible but inevitable. If you believe we’re past the point where any action matters, you don’t have to actually do anything about it.

You know I get that nowadays we have to deal with them because in America politics has realigned solely around whether you believe in democracy or not, and this is a terminally American website, but I do really hate moderate conservatives acting like we share a language of discourse.

so many writers and journalists take fact-checking and standards seriously with their newsletters and podcasts, even when they're just scraping by.

getting it right isn't a frivolous thing, it's the POINT of journalism.

meanwhile, at cbs...
“I’ve been hearing that standards will be eliminated or severely cut back. Bari has told people that she wants to get rid of standards and is shocked that they have so much power. She also asked openly, ‘What’s the point of standards?’” one CBS source said.

This is what I kept thinking when walking home earlier.

Democrats need to show voters that having Democratic control of the Senate makes a difference.

Cutting this deal only tells voters that it doesn't.
2026 prospects do not feel as bright,

given that caving now will undoubtedly launch and strengthen intra-/third- party challenges,

as Dems again remind voters that, regardless of the stakes, they don't, and won't, fight their corner.

This is the fastest possible way to destroy any Democratic Party momentum from last week’s elections.

Just utter incompetence to cave at this point.
