We lost an empire but found a radio station. Much more dismal and depressing if we lose that too.
And another bites the dust?
The BBC World Service will run out of funding in just seven weeks. Its funding arrangement with the Foreign Office finishes at the end of March. There is no plan for what happens next.

I can’t believe this asshole came to *my* multicultural economic zone to talk shit about multicultural economic zones.
1/3 What Musk is really referring to here is, of course “race” - that construct that served to define the hierarchies of wealth & power structured by modern colonialism. Like other far right racists though, he uses the word “culture” as a seemingly less pernicious synonym.

When they said reinvigorate American manufacturing, I’m sure this is exactly what they meant.
these numbers are just starting to feel fake. but now that we have upped our capacity so that we can send up to 3k (or sometimes more!) out to big organizations, they just keep growing!

This Olympics really reinforces the key life lesson of Olympics and sports in general which is that it's important to always show up and do your best because maybe everyone else will fall down

Buying funeral flowers for your mom’s friend when your mom died four years ago is some real eldest daughter shit. If I don’t do it, no one will.

Oh my god yes. If I see one more grifter or lackey crying about how it's so mean that all they did was steal our work, laugh about taking our jobs, and destroy our environment, and now we're not NIIICE to them and it's not FAAAAIIIIIR.

What will those feisty Gen-Zers purchase next? Recklessly splurging on the $1.50 hot dog at Costco? An actual vegetable every other day? Perhaps even a second serving of gruel?
Gen Zers and millennials are swimming in student debt and may never own homes, but they’re splurging on gut-healthy juices and rotisserie chickens.
The Booming Business of Luxury Grocery Stores
A new crop of gourmet grocers has hit the city, drawing lines of trendy TikTokers, MAHA-curious health fiends and Instacart devotees who want to pop in for a treat.

Trump is badly losing the war over ICE, not just on the streets, but also in the culture. As Bad Bunny shows, this has become a culture war unto itself. Trump-MAGA's initial hubris has been utterly deflated.

Trump Rages at Bad Bunny—and Accidentally Exposes a Big MAGA Weakness
MAGA’s hatred of the Super Bowl halftime performer reflects a hubris about what parts of the culture are “theirs.” But those assumptions are proving more wrong every day.
