It’s great to be reminded occasionally that people have always been people, just as grumbly and whimsical and loving and damaged as the rest of us. I think about this little guy all the time, and wonder if these bowls were just the product of someone’s sense of humor.

(1/3) I want to bring this post back and discuss how the Diary of a Scribe shows us rare glimpses into the nooks and crannies of Sumeria through the life of a Sumerian scribe student. Within, we learn so much from offhand statements made by the student as he recounts and grumbles about his life.

worth noting that there really hasn't been a giant swing towards Labour; they're polling a bit better than last election but not hugely and a lot of it was taken from the SNP. The results are as they are because Nigel Farage's Racist Party - sorry, Reform Party - took a huge chunk of Tory votes.

Parts of the Biden administration’s healthcare nondiscrimination rule went into effect today, but three federal judges — all GOP appointees — issued injunctions against aspects of it, including a Mississippi judge who issued a nationwide injunction blocking the rule’s gender identity protections.

if the media could go ahead and treat this claim the way they treat Biden saying "I'm fine" - aka, as a lie that requires days on end of front page stories to debunk - that would be great we'll be over here waiting

also Trump's supporters have no idea what he's saying half the time! no one does! there's no need to overthink this. Trump is popular because he channels vibes-based grievances and wants to punish those groups who his supporters feel have wronged them. That's it.

Trump was so resistant to doing the job that he tried to get us to call Mar a-Lago "the Winter White House" to legitimize the fact that he planned to spend most of his time on vacation.

It's pretty interesting what the media decides is front page news and what they don't decide is front page news! Trump being a child sex abuser with close connections to Jeffrey Epstein somehow doesn't merit the same coverage as "unnamed Dem insider has concerns about Biden's age"

I have no idea the best path re Biden but I do know a solid week straight of “Biden Old” and “Rich Dems Worried” above-the-fold stories are *obscene* in the face of SCOTUS using the Constitution to wipe their asses purely in the service of reinstating a felon rapist as president. Crazy-making shit.

it’s common for the nyt’s “just asking questions” anti trans work to be cited in state legislation against trans health care. they’ve been working for years to make it hard for trans people to exist in public. if this is what it takes for you, cool, but yes, please do stop clicking on the times.

random fact about william f buckley to go with this skeet is that, when the guy behind the 1980s gi joe toys & comics was told he needed a villain figurehead, he modeled cobra commander after the most loathsome person he could think of—william f buckley. buckley is still a hero to today’s gop.

Kevin Roberts believes he’s a noble defender of “real America” against a totalitarian “woke,” “globalist” assault from without and within.

“Project 2025” is his declaration of war on multiracial pluralism.
