Weird criticism to level at a play about a historical time period in which every single female stage role was performed by a person with a penis
Personally if I was Anne Boleyn I’d be far more upset that someone made a musical about my head getting cut off

Fast-moving & destructive wildfires--some burning into populated areas in/beyond the urban interface--have occurred across many of the Southern Hemisphere's fire prone regions (including Chile & Argentina, South Africa, & SE Australia) over last 3 weeks.
Chilean president declares state of catastrophe as wildfires kill at least 18
Fires blaze through 8,500 hectares, forcing 50,000 people to evacuate as firefighters struggle to extinguish flames

Disinformation and gullible people have always been a thing, and there are more important expressions of the problem right now by far, but it’s starting to get alarming how often I hear from acquaintances about “all those people who don’t believe in dinosaurs” when I share my profession.

just increasingly obvious that everything online Dems got excited about in casting Newsom as a “fighter” was simply the skilled efforts of a comms team who knows exactly what online Dems will fall for, while the man himself has a spine made of absolute tapioca pudding
I put myself through the entire interview. Trust me when I tell you that Gavin "dank memes" Newsom agrees with him on EVERYTHING. I literally says "I agree with you" on EVERYTHING. Ben "extremely unpopular even with MAGA" Shapiro gets very combative with him and Gavin capitulates EVERY time.
Ben Shapiro: "Israel did not commit a genocide in Gaza"
Gavin Newsom: "I agree with you."
Gavin Newsom: "I agree with you."

The reason so many Western leftists are so credulous about claims by foreign states that all their internal dissent is primarily driven by the CIA or whatever is that it flatters their view of the West as the collective protagonist of global poltics.
This too is American (or western) exceptionalism. 'We're so evil, we destroyed the world, I'm so guilty look at me, look at me, no not over there, 2000 dead protesters don't count if they were killed by a government my gross empire hates.'
this must go so hard if you are sheltered and know nothing

🚨 Just in: Emmanuel Macron demands the activation of the Anti-Coercion Instrument in response to Trump’s 10% tariff announcement, l’Elysée confirms.
What is the Anti-Coercion Instrument (ACI) that European lawmakers want to activate in response to Trump's 10% tariff announcement?
Adopted in 2023, the instrument was designed to hit back at foreign acts of economic coercion. It was inspired by China's trade restrictions on Lithuania.

Thank you . People hate the idea of this because it means that them being bystanders actually has consequences
For @msnownews.bsky.social, I wrote an article about how ICE Watch is grounded in sociological theories of violence prevention.
The reality is that most men will only commit public violence in extremely specific scenarios and ICE Watch disrupts the conditions necessary for escalation.

Opinion | I'm a Minneapolis sociologist who studies violence. Here's how ICE observers are helping.
Research into how violence occurs shows that disapproval from the people around you can help reduce it.
