Every opportunity they get to kill more people, they take it. And now we'll sit through them all congratulating themselves that they've sorted a peace agreement out for the people they've just bombed back to the Stone Age.

BREAKING: Israeli tanks fired directly at civilians on Al-Rashid Street while the latter were trying to return to northern Gaza, shortly after the ceasefire agreement had supposedly taken effect.

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy:

Post from Threads user rodneyowl: "Ireland has declared the Basic Income for Artists scheme permanent. This will be officially announced in tomorrow’s budget. Details to follow. Congratulations to all who fought for it and the present and future artists of all sorts in Ireland. That includes me 👌We’re just comin to the end of a 3 year pilot scheme. It’s been a roaring success. For every €1 paid out to the 2000 participants, the government got €1.46 back. Can’t argue with that. Other countries are already taking note."

It’s a core First Amendment principle. This is utterly lawless behavior, for which there will be no (short-term) consequences.

That he does it so casually, as they are walking away, in front of cameras.

Rightly confident in his impunity.

“[t]he freedom of individuals verbally to oppose or challenge police action without thereby risking arrest is one of the principal characteristics by which we distinguish a free nation from a police state.”

The Gen Z revolt continues to spread. After the Nepalese government was overthrown, we’re now in the seventh day of protest in Madagascar. 22 killed, more than a 100 injured.

Gen Z here were inspired by what happened in Nepal and similarly in Kenya.

I mean yes this is funny, but the fact that these unconstitutional stormtroopers are so directionless that they literally stand around waiting for random nonwhite delivery guys to bike past them is just pathetic. No mandate, no mission, no clue. Just racism.

ICE attempted
and failed to disappear a food delivery guy.
It needed to be scored.

There’s a direct line between 2008, where the working and middle classes were made generationally poorer, and now, where we’re still poorer and a ton of us have drifted to the right for answers.

Andrew Lawrence @ndrew.bsky.social · 14d

the political policy cure for “male loneliness” is

- more time to hang with the fellas (4 day work week)

- more money to spend with the fellas (higher wages)

- more things to do with the fellas (taxing the rich and building 3rd spaces)

this man has no mask on and is surrounded by people holding cameras and still feels complete impunity to violently throw this woman on the ground because he's wearing a badge

abolish ICE

Brad Lander @bradlander.bsky.social · 15d

I was back at 26 Federal Plaza today, where an ICE agent violently threw this bereft woman to the ground in front of her kids. She had not touched him. She did not pose any threat. She had to be taken to the hospital. (🎥: Elias Eliahu)

Have a Nice Day sits beside Bret’s My Real Life in the Cartoon World of Wrestling and Rise & Fall of WCW as the cream of the wrestling book crop.

I haven’t bought any in years but I recently picked up Nitro by Guy Evans, which I’ve got high hopes for.
