Gentle reminder that the European Union was established because the first four decades of our 20th century were mostly internecine war and genocide.

TIL about a memorial ceremony in Iceland in 2019 to mark the end of a glacier, changing the place name from Okjökull to Ok (jökull = glacier). Uncompromising wording on the bronze plaque:
"This is to acknowledge that we know what is happening and what needs to be done. Only you know if we did it".

Not enough emphasis on the slow and steady acquisition of skills...everything seems to be 'the fastest way to...'.
Just saw a video that purports to teach the fastest way to get better at Zen.
Dude, it's Zen. Being 'in' it is the point. Chop wood, carry water, both before and after enlightenment.

I wrote about CNN partnering with a gambling app that lets you wager on famine in Gaza, what this shift portends in our media, the obvious moral hazards of this arrangement, and “news” as politically impotent, disempowering spectator sport
The network will integrate betting odds for life-and-death issues into its coverage. What could possibly go wrong?

the girl and her mother are basically screaming THIS IS A BAD FAITH ATTACK ON TRANS PEOPLE at the top of their lungs and if you can't see that you're stupid or lying

only fools think this money didn’t fund comms that influenced public opinion
We spent a year investigating billionaires for @washingtonpost.com.
We found: the wealthiest 100 Americans gave $1.1 billion to influence the 2024 elections — 140x more than they did in 2000. And almost all of that giving boosted Republicans.

This week, I withdrew from a speaking engagement at a public university because they sent me a list of prohibited “words & concepts.” I will not humor this censorship. It does a disservice to the stories I’m discussing & the audience, who deserve unfettered access to information & conversation.

This is just alarmism. Buildings naturally fluctuate in temperate over time and it's really nothing to worry about.

as a mental health patient and not a professional it is my worthless opinion that we are absorbing too much media engineered to push all of our buttons and fuck with our emotional regulation while compartmentalizing to function under capitalism while evading the impending doomsday of climate change.
