yep. it also seems like a very lazy strawman; nobody suggested there's no *reasons* behind a 2%. what's said (what i've been saying anyway) is that trying to pin 2% on any particular variable, or even a set of variables one wants to argue are important, is yarn-spinning, not good faith analysis.

This is my church - well, enormous cathedral earlier tonight in fact. Suede & the Manic Street Preachers in Birmingham. As Brett Anderson said during Suede's set, music is like religion - we're all looking for the same thing, for togetherness, to join in. Amen.

Brett Anderson & his band Suede at the Utilita Arena in Birmingham, UK crouched on top of a monitor facing his enormous audience. The Manic Street Preachers at the Utilita Arena, Birmingham opening their set with Motorcycle Emptiness - a huge screen behind the band displays the lyric "under neon loneliness." To the left of the photo is a big screen which shows James Dean Bradfield, the band's singer & lead guitarist.

An absolute car crash interview from the Secretary of State.

Angela Eagle couldn't spell out a single power these councils will have to stop our waterways being trashed - and there's no sight of the long-promised Water Bill to deliver reform.

any lawyers on here who can explain what, if any, laws Blanche broke when he said he's Stephen Miller's defense atty vs Congress? is this another one of those 'norms with no teeth' or did he jeopardize himself? I know he can be impeached, but has he broken any laws?

1) I'll support him, despite his obvious character flaw evidenced by eagerly throwing Platner under the bus
2) he's weak and pliable, so DNC loves him
3) anyone who can put fog on a mirror would be Collins at this point, so he'll win
4) we could've had an actual fighter

Race was invented by elites to divide, yes bsky.app/profile/timf...
timfitz.manapool.nyc tim f @timfitz.manapool.nyc · 14d
Very easily, and in a very very British manner. Nobody built systems to divide and conquer like the Brits did. And this is maybe their most diabolical construction.

It’s pretty simple, really — painfully so given how confused we all are about this, solely from nobody knowing the facts.

Another part of this is that living in a constant state of gloom is not good, and if one can find places to find justifiable optimism, it will improve one's day-to-day enjoyment of life. So positivity is worth trying to foster, despite the internet's incentives.

Yep, I can agree with all of that, and I knew you're well-meaning and would take this suggestion in the spirit it was offered, which is very appreciated.

In SF&F communities, we talk about this subgenre of "hopepunk" and there's renewed interest in it.

Our right-wing-dominated local media did not cover Bowkett's controversies at all.

Vic News gave her a flattering profile. TC lent her a full-page editorial and ran the Vic Firefighters' slate ad for her on their front page. CHEK didn't cover her at all. Capital Daily might as well be dead.

I was really concerned too, so I read the article.
From Lille in the north to Marseille in the south and in the major cities in between, media estimate that nearly 800,000 people took to the streets and some 2,000 shops were vandalized or looted. Public buildings were set on fire, and hundreds of people or more were injured, including 150 police officers, with thousands arrested. The riots followed a student uprising that blocked entrances to high schools across the country in recent weeks. Palestinian flags and keffiyas have been a recurring motif in most of the violent protests, acts of vandalism and looting. But according to SPCJ, known as the Service de Protection de la Communaute Juive in French, there was no evidence that Jewish institutions or businesses were deliberately targeted.

Newly released text messages from Elon Musk show the billionaire bragging about using "lasers from space" to elect Donald Trump president in 2024. The question-raising remark comes as Musk spends millions on November's midterms.

Just to cope a bit, I think it speaks more to the abysmal information environment.

A huge portion of people who were surveyed about Trump and democracy in 2024 simply did not have enough information to figure out whether the biggest threat was him, or the Democrats accusing him of criminality.

I think it's pretty clear by now that there is nowhere near a majority of voters, anywhere, who inherently see far-right authoritarianism as extrinsic to the success or survival of democratic systems.

Lutheran Church of the Cross in Victoria <3

From their FB page - and they are also making some great comments on it.

The signboard at Lutheran Church of the Cross - it contains the message: "FREE PALESTINE" Five pride flags are positioned beneath it, and a pride flag is in the window of the church. Comments from the Lutheran Church of the Cross on their FB post with this photo: It's curious when a message about liberation and love for a people experiencing violence evokes so much anger and rage. Like and follow this page as we continue the conversation. Ed Sheeran called and we're off the tour. Thank you to everyone building relationships and reaching out to friends and colleagues in Gaza and beyond. The Evangelical Lutheran Church in Jordan and the Holy Land remains an important partner for us. When you look at the pushback Ms. Rachel, a children's host on YT, has received for her advocacy for Palestine, it makes you wonder. She desires that children can flourish and live. And just saying that makes people very angry.
