An underrated fact is how 🇺🇸”Covid realists” and 2nd amendment gun nuts are basically the same. An incredibly self serving, weird view of the world that has some truths in the far corners and is just twisted to justify the most ridiculous and harmful behaviors.

“It sounds like you don’t understand resistance language” 🤣🤣🤣🤡🤡🤡 It sounds like you halfwits invented some vibes based nonsense to justify supporting [checks notes] crazy secular hijab arsonist and the most vile bully you’ve ever met. Seriously. Have a word with yourself.

It sounds like you don’t understand resistance language! “Wokescold” is not resistance language Resistance language is either 1) reclaimed from oppressors specifically by those being oppressed by that exact language or 2) used ironically to flip it into the face of oppressors

Unpopular opinion - it will genuinely be amazingly positive for Ireland, for Europe, and for Anglo-Irish relations for Ireland to invest in its military and become the drone manufacturing hub of Western Europe. I for one welcome our new Fenian overlords.
Maybe the fact that Ireland was occupied by the British for 800 years is why they are so stupidly hyperfocused on their neighbour, that they are unable to understand the concept of a changing security environment.

When one heart condition isn’t enough. I wonder what happened to American leftist queer culture that made identifying with viruses so important.

I would read those stories. But for them to be as good the priest would have to end up living out of his car and the organist would need to go to clown school…

If there’s one thing @sinnfeinireland knows, it’s the proper way to put people in wheelchairs.

The richest most powerful white people in the world are American. The richest and most powerful black people too. It’s wild how black Americans have this global inferiority complex. It’s like James Baldwin said - “in Europe you’re just American”
excuse me but a white european will never be “underrepresented” like you want them to be.

Shit like this is why people hate woke. Obviously - death rates are not higher than they were in 2019. So whatever the fuck is that this means, is not what people think of when you say “pandemic never ended”
Replying to @portraitinflesh
regardless of whether or not you choose to mask the pandemic never ended unfortunately, we just started ignoring it

Obviously English people don’t “harvest” money - no one says that. Interesting how many people comment that but still seem to assume the others are not wrong. Gell-Mann amnesia is the default state of humanity.
- Germanic, ‘earn/deserve’ money: a moral weight from working - American, ‘make’ money: new wealth is created, not a fixed pie - Latin: ‘win’ money: you gain by taking it from others, zero-sum fixed pie No comment is even needed on this one

This but unironically These people asked the government to get involved in their toilets and now the government is involved in their toilets

For it to work, this is 100% how it must work. And this, weirdly, makes it both less likely to happen, and more likely to work well if it does.
I'm assuming my Jamaican friend, who is of course just as British as Sarah Mullally or Nigel Farage, is just as liable for reparations as they are?

It’s hard to overstate how successful our plan to lure American tourists into shitty tourist traps has been. The steak houses with the red signs were just the start. Stay strong London, stay strong.
As a New Orleanian I’m authorized to judge any and everybody’s food. In London rn and I’d rather not eat. 0/10

…there is a widespread perception that sickle cell anaemia is linked to race, and to being black. Sickle cell is actually a disease of populations originating in areas with high incidence of malaria. Some of these populations are black, some are not. 2/

You’d think Labour wasn’t the current govt, facilitating the genocide in Gaza, implementing turbo-Hitler policies, upholding role in imperialism,etc. the way some people talk about it. You just want a return to Attlee, who bombed Communist Malaysians, not very socialist?

Not sure why progressives should be opposed, but classroom based testing is clearly the future. Subjects like Art will clearly continue to have a portfolio element, but languages, sciences, the three Rs…
I know that progressives are going to hate this, but we are going to have to go back to the entirety of GCSE and A-Level grades being based on exam results. It has the side benefit of being an instant disincentive to use AI to cheat on homework/assays/projects. But the real benefit is that it is already now the only way to test true knowledge in a subject area. AI makes a mockery of coursework-based grading. The long de-emphasis of exams in total grades will have to be entirely reversed.

an unholy alliance of @HackneyAbbott and @reformparty_uk want to appease Putin...for some reason.

Ok but let’s consider the facts The Farmoor reservoir as of the end of July sat at 90%. This is below average for the time of year, but it is still 90%. Shortages are due to a lack of processing capacity (to make it drinkable) NOT a lack of water. So how will a reservoir help?

Mine will be called "Epstein Partners" and charge £5 less than @peterrhague 's
I’m starting a PR agency that will, when our client is caught in some wrongdoing, pay news outlets to publish hagiographic articles about them until the legal article cap is reached.
