A big theme of the first week of his criminal trial is that Trump had to sit in a dingy New York courtroom he despises and listen as prospective jurors (who were not selected) trashed him. On Thursday he was called a “racist, sexist narcissist,” “unchristian,” “evil” and more.

Of the 3,878 Cybertrucks actually delivered, only 8 are still speaking to Elon.

Toronto. August 30th, 2023.
on strings, on rails, on a path to destruction.
inevitable. inevitable. inevitable.

Great, now the terfs are coming for self-medding.

I know pretty much all trans people already know this, but perhaps it needs saying.

NEVER TALK TO JOURNALISTS ABOUT ANYTHING TO DO WITH BEING TRANS. ESPECIALLY NOT IF THEY ARE FROM THE GUARDIAN AND WANT TO TALK ABOUT SELF-MEDICATION.

Taking back control - latest.

Sunak deprives youth of mobility scheme with EU.

How many decades in splendid isolation will the Untied Kingdom - or what's left of - need before it comes to its senses?

discovering that fewer cybertrucks have been sold than Sinclair C5s has amused me greatly. and honestly, if you want to drive a weird vehicle, the C5 is far more fun.

The Sinclair C5 is also less prone to rust than a Cybertruck, and the wheels don't randomly fall off.

The numbers don't lie. I'm set to beat a 20-year incumbent and flip this seat for Democrats.

But first, I have to spread the word to North Carolinians. People can't vote right if they don't know what's going on.

Help me get the word out!

Has COVID set us up for a major heart disease epidemic? It’s happened before | newatlas.com

"Around 20 years ago a pair of epidemiologists presented a controversial new hypothesis to explain this weird phenomenon: the 1918 influenza pandemic triggered a wave of heart damage in millions of people and primed them for later-life heart disease."

"SARS-CoV-2 is a very different virus to influenza. In many ways it is much more problematic. It can infect a far wider assortment of human organs and tissues than influenza and it is mutating in ways very different to H1N1."

"The COVID pandemic has not waned and dissipated in the same way the 1918 pandemic did. Instead, the SARS-CoV-2 virus is frantically changing its form from month to month leading people to experience relatively frequent reinfections."

"If the 1918 flu pandemic caused a noticeable spike in heart disease over the following 50 years then what could a virus with a greater propensity for heart infiltration like SARS-CoV-2 cause?"

“I think that COVID is setting us up for a hundred years of problems.”

@quixoticgeek I liked the no-translation-needed-onomatopoeia
“Het is honderden meters kedoenk-kedoenk-kedoenk”

the cybertruck recall is hilarious both on its face and because it reveals they've sold barely 3,000 of those stupid pieces of shit

Let's stop using the term, "ai art," and start saying, "ai content."

They want us to call our work, "content," and they want us to call their junk, "art." No.

Freelance job offers that say things like "2-3 days per week in the <city> office, rest EU remote"...

Like, what's the idea here? Do some people fly to another country every week to work two days on site? Take a couple night trains?

Do non-locals ever fill these roles?

I'm honestly curious.

Italian trains are freakin great
