Israel just bombed a bunch of Palestinian children playing football. There's footage of the entire thing. Over 29 confirmed dead already. The West is complicit in genocide

both candidates are ancient bloodthirsty fascists. but one of those men is going to send certain people to the camps. so don’t be surprised if those people abandon you when you say the two ghouls are the same.

The California Coalition for Women Prisoners (CCWP), an advocacy group, said it appeared a female prisoner at the California Central Women's Facility in Chowchilla suffered a preventable heat-related death. Residents there are begging for air conditioning.

King is also very obviously a writer who chooses subjects based on catastrophising events in his own life; a lot of his post-accident fiction is like that, as is LISEY'S STORY (seeing his study packed up for a house move and wondering what it would be like for his wife if it was because he'd died).

This is what I mean. It is not the case that the majority of crime writers, horror writers, and so forth are themselves violent people in real life. Writing "dark" work but not committing evil acts is the norm. It isn't the exception.

I love when centrists try to do the “ackshually, it’s the left that throws everyone else under the bus” thing. So we don’t matter and have no relevance, but we have the power to destroy anyone we want? Sure seems like the enemy is simultaneously both pathetically weak and overwhelmingly strong.

I don't get it when people point out that Project 2025 is "nothing new." Yes, obviously, right-wingers have been fanatics for decades. They were blowing up abortion clinics and shooting doctors when I was a kid. But, as you may have noticed, their political vision has kind of been coming together.

Home ownership has its own stresses, but if my cats throw up and discolour the carpet now, it's a mild annoyance - compared to a lease-ending or at least deposit-forfeiting problem in a rental.

I know it's different here in Australia, in some ways, but for me the biggest problems with renting were more "not being allowed to do or change anything" and "crap properties with significant health and comfort issues".
