What "threat"? He's done it. America is cooked. No other country will trust us to be a capable or worthwhile ally EVER AGAIN. Every joke about American politics ends with "Because Americans voted for Trump, twice".

Occasionally people will ask me why I hate/hated D.A.R.E. so much. 1) They co-opted lions, the jagoffs 2) They were the ur-example of "don't suspect your parents, report them", and 3) Eh, see the video for the rest www.youtube.com/watch?v=LzrGCk-F7FY

Do you get mad that the fascists are running circles around the Democrats, taking control of local and state-level offices all over the place, mobilizing across different institutions and building durable entrenched local power? Do you feel sad that you don't know where to direct resources when […]

The Trump administration is threatening Europe with economic retaliation for trying to reduce its dependence on Musk's Starlink. Europe wants technological sovereignty, and Washington responds with threats. From satellite communications to cloud services […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

Screenshot of a Financial Times article headlined “US threatens Europe over Starlink restrictions”. The subheading reads: “Ambassador Andrew Puzder warns about ‘devastating’ retaliation if Brussels goes ahead with plans to limit spectrum access for non-EU companies.” Below the headline is a photograph of Elon Musk, holding a medal in an open presentation case, standing beside Donald Trump. American flags are visible in the background.

I was accused of being sensationalist or exaggerating when our 2022 research paper predicted one in 15 visible points in the sky would be a moving satellite. I think maybe we were actually too conservative. I hate this so very very much.

A pizza representing our economy is sitting on the table. A rich white guy labeled “Top 1%” gets a slice that looks to be about 85% of the pie. A white lady labeled “Merely wealthy” gets a slice that looks to be 13% or so. A black lady labeled “upper middle class” has a slice that’s about 2%. A frowning guy labeled “lower 50%” has a few crumbs on the table, not even a slice.

The captions say:
How America’s economic pizza is sliced per capita. This is not a joke.

Just heard a terrible EP by a bunch of white guys pretending to be a Black funk band; essentially blackface humour. Aggravatingly offensive, further aggravated by their being good enough musicians to pull off the aesthetic. Hateful.

I approve of this method of proving humanity. Much better than asking me to tick all the boxes containing buses or whatever. (Seen at a UK National Archives survey)

A question asking the user to prove that they are a human by answering the question, "Which of the following best describes your involvement in creating the Domesday Book in the year 1086? I was ..."

There are several options, including "William the conqueror and commissioned the Domesday book"
