Mostly kind chonky weirdo. Gentle nerd freak of the pacific north west. All nation states are vermin.

Pre-print from David Reich et al provides new details and solid dates for the emergence of the Yamnaya, likely proving Indo-Anatolian hypothesis. (pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov)

The Yamnaya archaeological complex appeared around 3300BCE across the steppes north of the Black and Caspian Seas, and by 3000BCE reached its maximal extent from Hungary in the west to Kazakhstan in the east. To localize the ancestral and geographical origins of the Yamnaya among the diverse Eneolithic people that preceded them,...

Could blocked magazines no longer appear in Random Post and Random Thread sidebars?

A lot of the larger abandoned magazines are just spam pools now. I don't see their posts in my feed, but I don't like that the two sidesbars of random posts and threads are now just spam advertising sidebars. I triedblocking the magazines, but doesn't that prevent the posts from showing in those sidebars....

This is so clever and I love it, but for pedantry's sake, he was tangy and brown in s1e3 and yellow by s1e4.

Wikipedia says both that it was an error by a colorist and that a decision was made that gay and black was a bit too much for a sycophantic character.

Imagine going through the soul crushing hell of being a committed and earnest election worker in a failing 21st century democracy and then the clouds part and in one shining moment you can tell boris you have no idea who he is, but he'll need ID.

Like seriously consider it. Do you say "on your bike son"? Can you resist flipping him off? The joy he gave that one person might be the single act of good in johnson's entire life.

‘Do not bow’: ex-Black Panther praises pro-Palestinian student protesters from prison (www.theguardian.com)

In a powerful and rousing live address to students at the City University of New York (CUNY) on Friday night, the incarcerated Black political activist Mumia Abu-Jamal praised the pro-Palestinian movement growing at US colleges as being on the right side of history....

in prison for murder

Absolutely untrue.

While a police officer was beating his younger brother for driving while black, Abu-Jamal was nearby and came to the rescue, shooting at the police officer who died after shooting Mumia.

Mumia Abu-Jamal is in prison for defending his brother from racist police violence.

calling antisemitism “a vile and disgusting form of bigotry that has done unspeakable harm to many millions of people”.

“But, please, do not insult the intelligence of the American people by attempting to distract us from the immoral and illegal war policies of your extremist and racist government. Do not use antisemitism to deflect attention from the criminal indictment you are facing in the Israeli courts. It is not antisemitic to hold you accountable for your actions,”

What's the most interesting traditional or formal politeness behaviour or table manners in your culture? Or for any service personnel, in your restaurant?

I love all the ritualized behaviour, secret meanings and unexpected taboos - standing up when someone of higher status stands, elaborate rules for serving and eating, tapping the table to thank the server, never refuse a toast from a superior, stuff like that....

DOJ says police officer justified in killing 22 y/o over 2 magic mushroom chocolate bars. (www.delawareonline.com)

An undercover police officer arranged to buy 2 magic mushroom chocolate bars over Instagram then opened fire within seconds, killing the driver and injuring the passenger for selling $100 worth of antidepressants. Perfectly justified.

That Hitchcock meme is great! But for anyone else who wanted it to be real - it was originally a cure for insomnia, not fascism.

Irish solidarity with the Palestinian cause has been massive for decades.

That's almost certainly what the Israeli player was referring to with this malicious mischaracterization:

It’s known that they are quite antisemitic and it’s no secret, and maybe that’s why a strong game is expected

Something about being brutalized and treated as second class citizens in your own home by a militarily dominant power seems to generate empathy for the plight of Palestinians.

Ooph, these comments. Obviously this incredibly incompetent move from pelosi is going to hurt democrats.

According to the latest polling, half of all democrats and half of all 18-35 (edit: 18-29)year olds view this as a genocide. Of the other half, more are undecided than don't think it's a genocide.

You can't insult serious beliefs of half your base and think there won't be consequences.

Of course trump is a serious threat to democracy. Just like the last time I'm going to hold my nose and vote for biden. And just like last time, senior democrats are going to do everything in their power to shoot themselves in the foot.

“your actions were also a threat to our democracy.”

This is one of those exciting sentences where you have to substitute 'democracy' for 'rich people's yacht money'.

I'm sure he did make games worse, but he also covered up for rapists and threatened to kill employees which seems maybe more headline worthy to me.

US residents: What big domestic policy improvements have the american people won from congress in the last 30 years?

Interpret improvements as you like. For me it's any large scale reforms or legislative packages designed to improve the country for all or see to the material interests of the majority without overly benefiting the elite....

Imagine how damning their behavior must be that they paid half a billion to cover it up. 10,000 people in the US could live comfortably for a year on this single hush money payment.

People are taking this as a dig on China, but it's a tale of how fragile nationalists are the world over. This is a level of dumb on par with freedom fries.

Norway says Israel response to Hamas attack disproportionate (www.timesofisrael.com)

Norway’s prime minister says the Israeli army’s response to the deadly Hamas attack that killed 1,400 people and saw over 230 abducted by terrorists has been disproportionate, and denounces a “catastrophic” humanitarian situation in Gaza.

Disproportionate response has been Israel's policy for decades.

At uni a friend of mine wrote a book review of the bible that began, "Not since Naked Lunch has such a dull book been saved by the constant barrage of sadomasochistic homosexual pornography."

In case you were wondering how an obviously insane person comes to be that rich, it's from stealing your data.

Apparently he was the founder and chief data scientist at SMA Communications. From their website:

SMA Communications owns data on over 247 million consumers and over 49 million business contacts. We also have over 179 million registered Voters, 165 million automobile owners, Social media connections and more.

Among the other crimes of this piece of nonsense: axes should have meanings.

You can't just put random words on a page and pretend it's a graph.

The "fuck around" axis has only one example of fucking around ("americans among hostages") the rest is just a list of US military movements.

The items on the "find out" axis don't happen in that order and they happen independent of the items on the "fuck around" axis.

Alas, it does not.

企鵝 is penguin. By itself, 企 means to stand on tiptoes, or to expect something. It's also the first character in 企業, business. Sometimes business is abbreviated as just 企.

But "commitment" in English doesn't literally mean 'commercial glove noun' just because 'com' can be short for commercial, and mit means glove.

Chants of “See our might, see our power, landlords get no happy hour” ... “Parasite!” and “Get a job!”

Love it!

About an hour into the rally, the picketers entered the venue ... Witnesses said a male attendee of the BPOA event [landlord] then slapped a female TANC member [protester] in the face and pushed her.

Thuggish landlords throwing their weight around? I'm shocked. Interestingly, police who were monitoring refused to enter the venue.

No one's profits are more important than anyone's right to shelter. While there'll never be justice in a world with landlords, at least there can be some nice music:

We need to see some pain in the economy. We need to remind people that they work for the employer, not the other way around... There's been a systemic change where the employees feel that the employer is extremely lucky to have them, as opposed to the other way around.

So said every vicious aristocrat throughout history.

Whether owner of slaves, serfs or workers - elites always believe it's their right to inflict harm on others.

Eat the rich, put us out of their misery.
