  • Belgium found guilty of crimes against humanity in colonial Congo

  • The court ordered the state to pay the women €50,000 in damages each for the suffering caused by breaking their ties to their mothers, home environments and loss of identity. It also said the government must pay “more than €1m” in legal costs.

    The women had limited damages they sought to €50,000, because if they had lost they would be liable to pay the state compensation based on the original claim.

    Ok that's crazy. They sued the government due to their forced removal from their families, but if they lost the court case (which they did the first time), they would have to pay the Belgium government the amount they sued it for? That sounds exceedingly fucked.

  • Texas governor threatens to pull children’s hospital funding over doctor’s viral post

    Jump

  • Whenever I make the unfortunate decision to visit home, I have to drive through West Virginia. I always fill up before the state line, because I refuse to contribute to their economy. I also take back roads around the tolls, as they would have me pay upwards of $15 each trip through. The back roads inevitably lead me past wide swaths of entrenched poverty. Burnt down trailers, smoldering in the trailer parks, with their drumpf flags and "friends of coal" signs. It's pathetic.

  • Montreal shopping mall plays “Baby Shark” on repeat to prevent unhoused people from loittering

    Jump

  • Feel like that's just the message of the "Baby Shark" song. A big "Fuck You" to anyone unlucky enough to hear it

  • Boise State withdraws from MWC volleyball tournament rather than face San Jose State

  • An entire state beholden to religious extremists. It's wild.

  • I immediately recognized and hate this man.

    Truly, he was TNG's King Joffrey

  • NC House votes to strip power from incoming Democratic governor, AG as part of Helene aid bill

  • that just sounds like you're bragging about how corrupt and spineless your fellow republicans are

  • lol ok Manchin and Sinema, two big democrats! Yup! it's laughable you'd try to paint them as such. your disingenuous trolling is some top tier useless garbage

  • show me where republicans put forth a plan to end gerrymandering and democrats blocked it.

  • It's because we don't have a style of music called "Jizz."

  • Start with Star Trek: The Next Generation, and move on from there. The first season has some quirks, but by the second it's solid gold.

  • Whenever I see headlines like this, I always wonder if this is going to be the random little thing that escalates into WWIII.

    Fun times during the great fascist creep of the new century.

  • but how do you sail upwind?

  • What media has your favorite worldbuilding?

    Jump

  • The Foundation series by Isaac Asimov. Though, I guess what really hooked me was the idea that the future could be predicted, and guided toward an outcome that would benefit people. That, uh, doesn't seem to fit with reality. But it sounds real nice ☹️

  • Honestly, if it was any other kind of car, I would have been impressed at their ingenuity and railed against the wildlife expert who outed them. But people who waste money on expensive luxury cars don't get sympathy from me. A fuckin Rolls Royce? You thought you could get an insurance company to write off a fuckin rolls royce? If you already have the money to obtain that kind of car, you get no sympathy from me.

  • The Year 2100

  • Remember when she called Bernie "anti-woman" and made some claim that he had said a woman can't be president? I lost all respect for her after that.

  • The Year 2100

    Jump

  • no, he had just won two primaries in a row. Everyone but Biden, Bernie, and Warren dropped out. Warren was just as beholden to the DNC as the rest of them, but she stayed in specifically to split the progressive vote, in order to catapult the flailing Biden into pole position. It was clear as day, a coordinated effort to stop Bernie from being the Democratic candidate.

  • AOC Asked People Who Voted For Both Her And Trump To Explain Why—And Their Answers Are Eye-Opening

    Jump

  • I think long COVID has impacted more Americans than we realize. Everyone out there suffering from diminished capacities thinking that the fascist sex-pest goomba is somehow more reliable than the nice black lady. I dunno about you guys, but I've just been seeing a whole lot of mistakes lately. On television, in News, in articles, just... everywhere.

    And while a lot of it is probably people quiet quitting and not giving a fuck, I think a lot more people are suffering from the extended brain fog of long COVID than we think, and it's affecting everything around us. Unfortunately, that includes voting practices in elections.
