It never ceases to amaze me that the sort of men who claim women are too impulsive and emotional to be leaders are the same ones who swear sober men become completely incapacitated in reason and empathy in the presence of a drunk woman.

My Israeli friends say that the magnitude of the intelligence failure is way underplayed by the media. Like basically there is no way this would have happened under a Labor government.

There's a shit-ton of actual anti-Semitism in the world today, but Netanyahu's fraudulent misuse of the term devalues it dangerously. Hamas is anti-Semitic and murderous. Netanyahu is a cynical, murderous shitheel. Mamdani is an American politician with a perverse impulse to tell blunt truths.

Ukraine’s 🇺🇦 victory is not only about Ukraine. It is about the security of Europe. The 🇪🇪 Parliament has adopted a clear statement: russia must not be allowed to rewrite Europe’s security order by force. We call for stronger air defence, predictable military support, increased defence production

I can't find an example, but when I think of stylish and classic cars I think Tamsin & Adi Granov. But even though they post lots of Public photos of classic cars they've visited and even sat in, and Public photos of themselves styling, no Public photos of themselves with the cars.

Some art-y advice no one asked for but I have to remind myself daily: *don’t rush to the details* Artists usually want to render details before the basic shapes/angles look right.You could draw a detailed iris, but if the eye is in the wrong spot on the face it’s gonna look weird. Basics first ✨

IMO, the solution should not be to browbeat people into an old standard, but rather allow people to wear whatever they want. If someone can wear ducky pajamas in public, you can wear tailoring in any cut, color, and material. As options open up, dress can then be a source of pleasure.

It's very easy to wear a suit and tie in any major city, even if the aesthetic has mostly disappeared from daily life, because there are people outside wearing pink tutus with Army boots. As usual, your liberation is connected to other people's liberation.

Bobby Mars on Twitter writes: "If you wear a collared shirt and nice shoes out to the bar in the rust belt, multiple people will ask you if you just came from a wedding. Aesthetic standards for men’s attire are horrendously low"

This is it, right? Obviously - OBVIOUSLY - every genocide needs to be opposed because genocide is EXTREMELY BAD. But also, if someone can't bring themselves to oppose any given genocide, there's absolutely no reason to trust them on any other matter of justice, human rights, safety or health.

The book is clear that the Lost Boys attack, injure and kill the pirates for fun, not because the pirates are coming after them. It's literally Peter's favorite game. The pirates fight back because they keep getting attacked.
