"Social cohesion" is a horrible combination of words to be rolling out against a minority group. Makes my skin crawl

Dudes have been hallucinating this exact thing for 10+ years straight. It's disturbing how this grievance is frozen in people's brains.
No idea what telly Lord Sewell is watching, because I can't think of a single show with this plotline let alone it being something that is inescapable for young white men who subsequently now face a crisis of masculinity drawing them to the far right?? 🙃

The standard you walk past is the standard you accept. By not condemning and expelling Tuberville from the party, Republicans have essentially endorsed and normalized his repugnant views. He speaks for every Republican.

Every few months now I re-read this "Who Goes Nazi?" piece from 1941 and am blown away by how it captures the people we are dealing with 80 years later.

At least two suspects are in custody.

@hlinehan.bsky.social interviews Eoin Lenihan, the weird, touchy right-wing author of a new book that claims the true heart of Ireland is being destroyed by 'mass immigration'.

The latter clearly likes the sound of his own voice, but NOT answering tough questions.

Hiring a Black woman: “identity politics”

Hiring a white guy for a job that has been held disproportionately by white guys, because he is a white guy: “subverting” identity politics!

(The author of this sentence is Dylan Byers; you will not be surprised to learn that he is a white guy.)

They really have no idea. The External Active Thermal Control System (EATCS) on the ISS has huge radiators but can only remove a maximum of about 240,000 BTU (about 70KW) worth of heat from the complex per hour. Data centers generate waste heat in the megawatt-hour range (tens to hundreds).

There won’t be Earth-servicing data centers based in space in the near to mid to most likely my or your lifetime absent a range of events that are highly unlikely.

Anyone saying they are a good idea & cost competitive, now or soon, is prob lying (if they should know better) or wrong.

Exclusive: ICE has developed a plan to arrest undocumented migrants who try to voluntarily leave the U.S. via the Mexico border, so they can face formal removal.

Why bother? Possibly to juice deportation numbers.

It's being referred to as "Operation Irish Goodbye."
