Once again, France is saved from fascism by Les Bleus. More important than a trophy. Salut, Mbappe, Thuram, et al.

Art, design, football. Anti-fascist. 85% feral, 100% for trans rights. Unreasonably pleased with myself. 🏳️🌈

As long as the lesson they take from LibDems is shooting themselves out of cannons…

So hey, here's a thing I don't think a lot of folks know: That whole "Patient Zero" thing? The French-Canadian airhost who supposedly spread HIV all over America? That's not real. That's not what happened or how it happened.

Yes, I was delighted to see this! Also, the podcast Know Your Enemy did an excellent deeper-dive maybe a couple months ago?

Yes, I did read the whole thread, and it’s great. I just think characterising Janelle Monae (!!!) as less lauded ?? than Sleater Kinney is odd.

Hunh, I see your point in abstract, but I feel Janelle Monae is actually much, ^much* bigger in real life than Sleater Kinney

Also - and this is a little glib; as a Canadian my stakes are (marginally) lower - but we were always told that physical attractiveness is very important in US presidential elections (per Nixon/Kennedy), in which case…slam-dunk, Harris! 😍

I may now be obsessed with the fact that freshwater crabs 🦀 (Potamon fluviatile) proliferated in late Roman sewers & now archaeologists & conservationists are fighting to save these little guys as an indigenous species, who live in places like Trajan’s Forum. www.goodgoodgood.co/articles/riv...

I think there are two different factors here: yes, Southgate is inherently conservative, and a limited coach; but also I think there is a deeper root issue in that England are recovering from a prolonged period of false hubris. This is a corrective period.

Fair. But having your entire society’s rights ‘writ in stone’, as opposed to having a more flexible concept of rights, enables (and perhaps encourages) precisely that autocratic interpretation.
