nobody does more brutal fashion reviews than the irish
lady of sophistication @janky_jane Props to anyone who tries to be fashionable in ireland i wore a red beret once in waterford and someone called me super mario Andrew Beatty V @AndrewBeatty Replying to @janky_jane I once ordered a taxi in Belfast for a night out. The driver pulls up to my house and just says "yer not going out like that. Go back in and change, I'll turn off the metre." | swear I was wearing normal jeans and a normal jacket. Matthew @MrWeir Replying to @janky jane I once wore a silver jacket to college, turned up late for class, said 'sorry I'm late', lecturer said, 'that's ok' then waited til I was halfway across the front of the full class before following up with 'trouble with the spaceship again was it?'. Replying to @janky _jane My sister was in France sporting a new trench coat, thought was so stylish, but went into an Irish bar and got called Inspector Gadget by the first guy that saw her 15:53 • 8/16/21 • Twitter Web App was wearing my super-fashionable short trench coat. My friend took one look at me wearing the jacket and said, "Where are we off to now. Columbo?" Eoin O Neill @eoinjoneill Replying to @janky_jane Was wearing a vintage nike jacket in a very long que for drinks at a boxing match when a Belfast lad goes "furk me this is taking forever, your man has been here since the 80's" Loic Wright @dufflest Replying to @janky jane I wore a suit with a matching tie and pocket square to my first day of work at an advertising company (I thought I was going to be in Mad Men I guess) and the staff sent around and signed a communion card for me with a fiver in it. Eóin O Coileáin @L20_MTN Replying to @janky_jane I wore a white, wool turtle-neck jumper to the match once and a fella in the pub said 'Where have you parked the U-boat?'.

Pathetic capitulations to authoritarianism.

When fascism is defeated don't let them rebrand once again as people who were always opposed to it, rather than opportunists whose morality is based on proximation to power
Cenk Uygur @cenkuygur · 6h I asked @elonmusk to put me in charge of cutting the Pentagon. And he said - what are your suggestions? I run the largest left-wing network online and a Democratic leader has NEVER asked me that question. The idea that they would take advice from a populist is disdainful to them. Cenk Uygur @cenkuygur Now, which side seems more open and inclusive? Which side seems more welcoming and which side tries really hard to drive you away if you disagree even a little with orthodoxy? Which side is asking for suggestions and which one is demanding compliance and obedience? @jysexton.bsky.social‬ Following Morning Joe licking Trump’s boots wasn’t an isolated incident. Many people will save themselves and normalize authoritarianism. It’s time for you to make a decision about what you’ll do and what you won’t accept. And the time of choosing is now. ‪Marc Elias‬ ‪@marcelias.bsky.social‬ We are all witnessing anticipatory obedience in real time. NYT Opinion essay "End the criminal cases against Trump" The Intercept: Vice's hard right turn to Trumpism. Shane Smith treats immigrants as a problem and apologizes to Elon Musk for past coverage.

Ciudad Juárez, 1892. Juan holds up a Burrito and says "Behold Luis, I call it: The Burrito." Luis takes a bite and says "this is delicious Juan, but how on earth does this look like a little donkey." Juan considers this and says "it looks like the ones grew up with." Juan shows Luis the donkeys on his family farm whose bodies have been malformed into burrito shapes. One donkey repeats "kill me. kill me."

Can't believe how fast this site is growing. Sharing a thread of my writing, starting with this piece on my Substack about last year's Rage Against the War Machine Rally. It's some of the most fun I've ever had writing.
Rage Against the Rage Against the War Machine Rally
The speaker line up included Miss Russia’s boyfriend, a journalist for Sputnik (a Russian state owned media agency), a former UN weapons inspector turned convicted pedophile, and a current lieutenant ...

Feels like Dems lost more with working-class communities of color in cities in part because they're more likely to live alongside Muslim and Arab voters than in other places. The economy & change may be the biggest pieces but it's hard to imagine genocide didn't depress turnout.
