The earthquake is now updated to a 7.6. Waves from the potential tsunami could be up to a meter tall - not massive, but potentially very hazardous near the coast or waterways. If you're up north, be safe.

A large earthquake, currently measured at magnitude 7.2, has just hit off Aomori Prefecture. A tsunami advisory is in effect for southern Hokkaido and northeastern Tohoku. The earthquake was strong enough to be faintly perceived all the way in Tokyo.

If we’re serious about democratising society and the economy, we need to democratise our institutions too.

That starts with a referendum on the monarchy.

And for the record: I’d vote to abolish it. I’m a republican.

Israel hunted a 70 year old lady down with a gun drone and then hoovered above to make sure she bled out next to her dying son. They both join almost 1,000 Palestinians Israel has massacred or maimed in its genocide during the "ceasefire".

My dad abhors any negative comments about immigrants. Asked him recently why he’s so strong on it: ‘Because we’re always happy to take the rich and clever ones. Which means it’s not about disliking immigrants. It’s about disliking the poor and vulnerable. And that’s a bad human instinct.’
This is so disgusting.

It's the whole thing going back decades btw. This never stops being so horrifying to read. We keep doing this to kids no matter the change in administrations and parties in charge. The whole system needs a complete rebirth.
There is no sight that more efficiently puts the lie to immigration “court” than the common sight of children “representing themselves.” Children too small to climb into the chair, children in pajamas who don’t know where they are, children not yet old enough to speak.

Anyone who says “be normal” betrays that they have an implicit value system of who is considered normal and who is not, and when you have that, you will always value some people and traits over another. They will always replicate hierarchies of power in the long run.
California Governor Gavin Newsom said on Thursday that the Democratic Party needed to be “more culturally normal” and “less judgmental.”

A lot of people on Twitter and Bluesky alike love to go "what about Sudan?" in response to pro Palestinian sentiment but in general if you're pro Palestine you're also far likelier to be anti UAE. See for example the senator below, who was the harshest critic in the Senate of both Biden and Trump.
The RSF just attacked a kindergarten, killing at least 33 children in Sudan.

Meanwhile, the Trump Admin. continues to sell arms to the UAE, who are aiding these atrocities.

Imagine if Trump spent as much time trying to stop the killing, as he did getting the UAE to invest in his crypto coin.

I hate a "I don't watch TV" mf

Fake deep, pseudo-intellectual bullshit. There are many series that are cinema level, and extremely influential. If you write off television entirely you miss out on some of the best art out there in the last several decades.

i guess the other thing to note about this, is it reveals somewhat the extent to which powerful people avoid paper trails so that there is less transparency and accountability. what else gets treated in this way?

Even if this was true--and I question the premise that there are a lot of Jewish Americans who don't know what the Jordan River is--this kind of condescending "if you think murder is wrong name five of their albums" stuff is exactly why they lost the kids
Hillary Clinton sassing off "young Jewish Americans who don't know their own history" in a way that is disgustingly antisemitic. "They say from the river to the sea...they don't even know which river and which sea!" Fuck off.
