This is a very scary thread, but now that everything's all right, I think it's everyone's duty to convince this person they never actually woke up.
I just woke up from a nap and somehow while I was asleep, everyone on the bus has figured out we are not going to the right place

Across Europe, women are killed at alarming rates by those closest to them. In the EU, women are killed by family members or partners nearly twice as often as men, yet most countries reduce these deaths to anonymous statistics. In Italy, a feminist group carefully documents each femicide.

25 years in, Wikipedia remains a rare thing on the internet: a global public good. 🌐 No paywalls, no ads chasing attention—just knowledge shared because it matters.
In an era of disappearing pages & vanishing context, Wikipedia endures by documenting, citing, and revisiting what we know. 🕰️🔗

A dinner with friends: good food, good wine, and chats about everything and nothing. It’s not enough but definitely helps.

Yes to British series
Obscure, but not necessarily expensive car. Creaky house. Remote locations, boots in the trunk, always up for a hike. Regularly sitting down and having a tea (with suspects, more cops). And a swearing vocabulary that is so much richer.

I like British cop/detective series for many reasons, but more and more because there are almost no guns.

I am late to the party, but the British tv series Shetland is great. The perfect watch for quiet winter nights: no guns (almost), landscapes, sweaters, Scottish accent, bad phone reception.

The only way we could do that is by treating education like a public good, not a fucking business aimed at producing a product, and that would require the wholesale liquidation (perhaps at swordpoint) of the current crop of folks responsible for the organization of American education.
