Finland ended homelessness with a housing first strategy that gave people apartments before they secured employment

Now they’re proposing a 4 day work week and 6 hour work days

True work life balance

Meanwhile in the US, people work two jobs and can’t afford food or healthcare.

The calls from America this weekend to "abolish the EU" are for one simple reason: the EU is the only thing that can keep European nation-states from becoming Russian or American vassals.
The US has declared rhetorical war on the EU
The calls from America this weekend to destroy the EU are revealing. They hate the union because it's the only thing that can keep European countries from being Russian or American vassals.

I have made a handy list of the appropriate uses of mentioning the 80s comedy film "Revenge of the Nerds":

1. Talking about how it's a rapey movie where the protagonist is a rapist

That's it. That's the list.

In terms of what’s understood to be socially acceptable behavior, normalizing the filming/taking pictures of people in public who are minding their own business (and putting it online) is one of the worst developments of the past 15 years.

Watching "The Guilty" with Jake Gyllenhaal, in which he plays a cop under investigation who is forced to work as a 911 operator (this movie does not know what 911 operators do) and proceeds to do nothing but get children killed and women abused by giving them bad advice

great flick

CNN reporting that the DC pipe bomber was motivated by Trump’s lies about the 2020 election. It’d be nice if we had an FBI run by people we could trust to tell the truth about these types of things.

The fact that a second strike like that in an armed conflict is definitely a war crime should not completely negate the fact that *there is no war* and ALL the strikes are cold-blooded murder. The whole chain of command are murderers.

Not trying to burst any bubbles; but Spotify is over.

They are airing ICE recruitment ads, the CEO has been investing in military/AI tech, they barely pay their artists; sometimes a percentage of a cent per stream, they promote “fake/AI artist” playlists, and there’s major concerns about data use.

I wish this was an exaggeration, but it isn’t. They appear to have actively worked to block their purported allies being granted asylum, so they couldn’t be called to give evidence in Britain.
The British government and forces left their local translators and interpreters to be killed by the Taliban so they couldn't give evidence in any war-crimes trials

This is all true but

1) under no definition are we currently at war with Venezuela under domestic US law

2) since we aren’t, the initial strike was just as much a murder as the follow up

The failure to understand this by a huge range of actors is really driving me up the wall.
If the Venezuelan sailors were enemy combatants, then the 2nd strike is a war crime.

If the Venezuelan sailors weren’t enemy combatants, then both strikes are criminal murder.

It’s that simple.
