It’s nice but it needs a huge international airport /s

Why is the (wholly selectively and smug) disciplining of Iran taken for granted as Something We Should All Care About? Israel has turned the entire region into an indiscriminate kill zone, why are we focusing on “containing” Iran like it’s some prima facie liberal virtue??

@ryankatzrosene the kelvin scale is *right there* ... what are they even doing?

@kinsellawarren pas de cadeux for war mongers and genocidaires!

@tparsi These people weren't even born when the Shah fled.

A more accurate term for them would be "American republicans"

Tried to make some core-strengthening workout videos for patients with back pain using AI. The results were rather ... interesting ...

[Nathan Kalman-Lamb @nkalamb]

The University of Michigan and its regents are direct collaborators in the prosecution of its students by the federal government for refusing to accept complicity in genocide. Heinous to the max.

A single NDP MP from Edmonton is a louder voice for Toronto residents than 23 mute Liberal MPs

Carney destroying our waterfront would be a historic mistake for this city and the Liberal Party

@n_hold also this "amnesiac landscape" explains a lot about the internal workings I saw in my employer's response to covid ... in parallel to expected actions ensuring health/safety was a constant admin pressure to hide decisions and decision-making process, and to forget those processes

[Ben Holder @apiari]

@n_hold thank you for this, it's very readable to someone who is not a social scientist

looking at the editorial cartoon highlighted in the introduction, I can't help but wonder if the birth of employer-based health care was a natural outsourcing of these industrial physicians?

One year ago today, Haley Stevens voted with nearly every House Republican to "express gratitude" to ICE for "protecting the homeland."

[Johan Rockström @jrockstrom]

New Anthropocene paper. Earth still operates in "Holocene logic", buffering heat imbalance. Anthropocene = Pressure. But, BAU, reaching 3°C in 2100 & we get "stuck" in a Hothouse trajectory for 1000 years. Anthropocene risks turning into a state. No Good.

I don't think most people are fully grasping what happened to Omar Artan. Citizens of African countries cannot travel to the US without first navigating a highly restrictive, discriminatory visa process. Africans face the highest refusal rates globally, not only for US visas +

The U.S. World Cup in one horrible photo:

[failed @unnamedbutalone]

He is only 33 years old. This is the biggest moment of his career. He’s probably been waiting for it for months.

But who will talk about it? There are 48 teams, hundreds of players, and representatives from all over the world. Who will finally speak up?

[Ben Holder @apiari]

@lindsayballant and the D party continues to live in early 2001

[Ben Holder @apiari]

@sourcebridgers wow, to think I saw her in a 200 seat auditorium... she tours like coldplay now!

[Ben Holder @apiari]

@SVcrazycatlady While AOC didn't acknowlege the kidnapping of Mahmoud Khalil, nor visit him in ICE prison.... but managed to go pick him up at the airport for the photo-op

[Ben Holder @apiari]

@lindsayballant How do professional politicos stay so dumb?

The myth of a single-axis liberal-conservative voter spectrum --- and its implication that D's must aim for the mean value of the previous election --- has proven to be the most destructive idea in american politics.
