Re: Bogus, batshit, banal, bizarre, or bicubic: Assorted News

I'd link, but the articles are all in either Portuguese or German (der Speigel is covering the story): Jair Bolsonaro apparently stole the Presidential Bed out of the Brazilian presidential palace when he left and the government is trying to get it back.

For a change, a good one (CW: lots of talk about The News, especially a certain genocide).

I like to think about how much this is costing the AZGOP in real money we know they don't have.

Re: Election 2024: The Quest for Peace

Trump called for the GOP to set fire to itself (again) today. https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:2f2igkk5bnrwoxulpn4frwwz/bafkreibsnl2ewflfanthq6udenqlgztfhp6u7wat7dwrouzxy434xofthu@jpeg Seriously, I know we're cynical and all, but if he actually forces this instead of forgetting ...

Re: The Palestine Thread: because the I in Israel stands for "illegal occupation"

Guardian: ‘I am the police, I am the army’: blacklisted settler’s rule in West Bank This isn't new, but it's a good article about the situation. There are two interesting (and, of course, dire) implicit commentaries on Israel in this situation. The first is of course that a government which ignores ...

Re: Election 2024: The Quest for Peace

This isn't actually very surprising - I've mentioned before the educational requirements of the US military, even for enlisted personnel, are high. Nor is it likely to move the needle. But a statement so strongly in favour of one candidate with this many ex-high-ranking names on it is somewhat unpre...

Re: Jernalism!

Hard to say how widespread this is, but both that child care quote and the one today about immigrants in Ohio kidnapping and eating their neighbours housepets (yes, you heard that right), seem to be circulating heavily at the moment among those who already know Trump is trash. Would love to see thos...

Re: The Antisocial Network

I don't want to overpromote Bluesky, but good work deserves credit: A wave of British TERFs and other transphobes have been showing up on the site and the grassroots solidarity in trolling them combined with strong and unambiguous moderation has left the TERFs very loudly whinging and leaving in a h...

Re: Interesting Reads

Dwarves are just oddballs in general in Tolkien's legendarium. Sometimes Tolkien's been accused of basing them on Jews, because of various coincidental stereotypes, but it's fairly clear they're actually just straight-up copied from the dwarves of Nordic folklore. There also is a more complimentary ...

Re: Polling, statistics, and data science

To be fair, that was a pretty good (and reasonable!) reaction to anything Trump says.

Harris might even go for a chuckle with callback to it, though I think that's unlikely; it'd be a little too cheeky.
