A great video, the immense frustration I feel when it seems so many ostensibly liberal figures have fully bought in to the anti-liberal view that liberalism can only be about perpetuating a failed status quo, or that liberalism has neither want or need for a strong moral core is just maddening.

New video! My manifesto on why liberalism needs to move beyond consensus as a goal and believe in itself again.

Adam Driver didn't actually say that stuff in BlacKKKlansman he had a Slur Double, bit of clever movie magic.

Fish is back home with us safe and sound ❤️❤️❤️ Thank you SO MUCH!!! To everyone that helped, I'm so extremely blessed that so many people in my life were so generous and helpful in such a stressful time. I can't express how grateful I am to each and every one of you.

The kitchen is such an emotional space it's fascinating how people living otherwise modern lives who believe in evidence based science will fall into these illogical and potentially hazardous habits like "washing" meat, not using the dishwasher, or in this case not keeping your bread knife clean.

I never wash our bread knife – and I won’t let the internet shame me into changing my ways | Emma Beddington

Apparently the mostly British habit of not cleaning your bread knife after use is ‘gross’ and unhygienic. If that’s true, then call me disgusting, writes Emma Beddington

Due to my cat's recent health crisis I was not able to be at the Pittsburgh Zine Fair but I was still able to have my zine, "How To Be Into Ancient Rome Without Being Weird About It" there at our table. Here it is in digital form with the lovely artwork by @tbm.bsky.social in the thread below! 1/4

An update, Fish is doing well! he's got to stay in the ICU at the emergency vet for a few more days, but we really can't say enough how grateful we are to everyone who's offered support so far. We have got more than half of his treatment expenses covered! Thank you all SO much!❤️

Alex @fireyams.bsky.social · 7d

HELP!! Please help to save our cat's life! Anything helps please I am ashamed to admit this but I just cannot afford this cost so suddenly. Thank you for your kindness please share if you can!

An ICE agent, who is being arrested for drunk driving and nearly killing his little kids & others, tries to stop the arrest by racially profiling the officers arresting him. Amazing to watch the courtesy given to him as he is belligerent and uncooperative

strange how we never seem to hear about picky eaters from outside of suburban white euro-american culture it's almost like it's a phenomenon entirely built off of coddling little timmies who just want to eat like babies

US conservatives under Obama would sometimes wistfully post training footage of Russian special forces, like "look at what the real manly countries are doing instead of our woke baby military" and then all those VDV guys got annihilated within the first 3 days of the Ukraine invasion

"Online Rent-a-Sage" Bret Devereaux @bretdevereaux.bsky.social · 19d

And the cult of SOF is a real problem given that, if we've seen one thing in Ukraine, it is that in a near-peer conflict, highly-trained, ultra-elite infantry cost a lot to form and field but get shredded by firepower at exactly the same rate, if not faster than, regular infantry.

Secretary of Defense Rock @sodrock.bsky.social · 19d

And this all starts right out of the academies or ROTC, are the top of the class going into arty or armor or logistics, no they’re all going to the 173rd airborne or ranger school, so you can see how the army has become so light infantry/SOF centric
