Yep. It’s the inequality. The lines going up don’t matter, because people judge their economic situation from within a social context. And that situation is not good for far too many.

Democrats need to speak to this, not pretend it isn’t happening. www.bugbeardispatch.com/p/why-dont-a...

There is surely a former British aristocratic empire-builder with half a dozen of these to their name.

But hardly surprising. If you want to eradicate a population from the face if the earth, burning all trace of their culture is an important step, along with moving into their territory, killing as many as you can, and forcing the rest into exile. Lots of cultures have done this and no-one stops them

It’s not Christianity in any real theological sense, and the kind of compassionate Christianity Liz talks about has zero appeal for them. It would strip them of their self righteous determination to punish others for perceived sins and would require sacrifices they don’t want to make

The next time someone complains about poor people having computers and phones ask them why they hate poor people so much they don't want them to have the tools to actually get--and keep--the jobs to make the money they purport they want them to have. America hates its poor and it's gross.

We just had ten of them round last night, five boys plus German exchanges. I said I'd pay for Chinese. They ran up a tab of £135! And the Chinese-origin lad only placed the order in fluent Mandarin and got FIFTY QUID knocked off. Diversity. It's the absolute business.

As both a professional archaeologist of 10 years and a political activist, this is fucking dumb, but if this is the thing you're mad about just know that if the A303 judicial review fails this year we're going to dig a 2 mile long tunnel through the site and get it stripped of World Heritage status.

As a lifelong lover of Britain's beautiful (pre/)Roman sites all the way from Silchester to Tintagel, I simply cannot bring myself to be even a little bit uneasy at Just Stop Oil redecorating Stonehenge (temporarily: the paint is cornflour & will wash away with the rain) because now they are POSTING

No one in publishing really knows what they are doing, or what makes a hit beyond putting enough money into the marketing and even that isn't a promise of success. It is all vibes with some women named Emily in charge.

ok i have another quote tweet prompt. what's something, big or small, related to your job or hobby, that most people don't know that you would like to have them know? it can be a concept, a piece of history, some vocabulary, or something else.

Excluding actual wars, Brexit is one of the greatest own-goals of all time. Britain and Europe had forged something their finest leaders and intellectuals considered an impossible dream: an alliance of shared prosperity. Then Britain tore it up in a fit of nativist dipshittery.

Whoa. www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

Once told the chef at my regular cafe that I was dubious about ordering the trout because I didn't want my food looking back at me. She assured me she'd take care of it. I thought she meant cut off the head, but no - it was served with a little lettuce blindfold.

We have the technology to find precisely what existing thing you’re looking for on the Internet but instead here’s technology that finds nothing at all and makes up nonsense instead. That will be $100 billion and all the electricity please.

If you're curious about what high-end wealth is thinking about these days, it's this chart. The global return on investment has been in a slow linear decline for almost 700 years, and will hit zero sometime in the next 30.

I worry that the bulk of people asking ChatGPT for recipes are also people who lack the cooking experience to say “hey, wait, that’s a bad/actively dangerous idea.”

I've used ChatGPT for that. Recipes are just rough suggestion guides to me. Odds of me ending up in the office supply closet for ingredients is still low even if it tells me to use glue.
