#Colonialism

There's something about the northern reaches that just get weird...

Extending Trump's tax cuts will cost $3.5 trillion over a decade.

This is why Trump wants to cut Social Security.

So he can take a lifetime of earned benefits away from working people and gift it to the rich.

It's reverse Robin Hood.

The Inaccessibility Cycle

"Labour see incitement to kill an MP who they’ve been bullying for years and marginalising for 11 months as a chance to score political points against the Tories and a convenient opportunity to fundraise donations, and the Tories see the world’s first live-streamed genocide as a good thing because it’s harming Labour’s standing amongst Muslim voters."

Wanton killing of innocent civilians is terrorism, not a "war against terrorism."

What is #Eurocentrism? A few ways to think about it - not based on specific reading, just my thoughts. Feel free to add!

- #Eurocentrism is talking about “European values” as self-evidently good, without stopping to think where that idea comes from & what it says about you and your knowledge of attitude to the rest of the world

- #Eurocentrism is being a white European living in Europe, never thinking about colonialism and how your comfort & wealth, your morning coffee, derives from it

Our new research shows that 1 in 5 (20 %) of dog owners revealed their dogs have shown signs of fear or confusion when encountering unfamiliar physical attributes." https://bit.ly/3PgRTOc

RIP to Angela Chao, who accidentally reversed into a shallow pond in her Tesla. She called her friends to help, and they arrived. But... none of them knew how to open the doors.

This shouldn't have happened.
