Keir Starmer came for the winter fuel allowance, stealing it off millions of vulnerable pensioners. Now Andy Burnham is coming to end the state pension triple lock. Labour really do hate pensioners. How about cutting benefits instead @andyburnham?

There are fewer than 2,000 Yukaghirs alive today and the Yukaghir languages have fewer than 500 speakers. Russia is sending them to the Ukraine meat grinder, while 3rd-world minority activists and decolonialists cheer.
The joke here is that there are so few living Yukaghirs left in Russia that each and every one of them must be known by their 3 digit serial number. One of those will die in the next meat wave some 5000 miles away from his ancestral lands in Eastern Siberia. Such fun.

niemiecka flaga była zaprojektowama tak, żeby po zmieszaniu kolorów powstał kolor skóry przeciętnego mieszkańca:
Mix the colours of the German flag and you get? Surprise!
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
This video appears AI-generated (common in viral flag paint-mix trends). Black + red + yellow/gold paint mixes to brown via normal subtractive color mixing. youtube.com/watch?v=oNbV-h… youtube.com/watch?v=ujMjF2…

While academic poptimism becomes more severe every year I want to add that there is a difference between serious scientific engagement with pop culture (Stuart Hall, Jameson, Fisher, Adorno...) and works that obviously just love to wallow in the slop

they’re calling it the most ethical industry of all time
New: ProPublica’s Jake Pearson lost $10,000 mimicking the betting patterns of a problem gambler on DraftKings to test the company’s “responsible gaming” safeguards. One week in, he was invited to become a VIP — and faced little pushback as he spiraled. propub.li/4dGHrwr

What's crazy about socities like Saudi or the Gulf is the native people don't work. It's 50 million people living off oil money. But it's not like they are creating great art. There's no interesting films. Songs. Literature. Games. It's just guys hanging out all day
Not only are saudis unbelievably lazy, but most forms of work are heavily stigmatized in their feckless society. Recent examples include the major controversy over a saudi working as a security guard in Medina, and before that, a saudi working as a barista in Jeddah.

This is the Kumonization of America A dynamic society isn't built around an Imperial Examination System
We don’t talk enough about this Read biographies of people who grew up in the 20th century, so much flexibility and freedom to explore was given to them Now, if you’re not an investment banker at 19 you’re fucked

It is just unequivocally obvious that the academic standards of credentialism gives rise to gerontocracy.
In 1980, 21% of NIH-funded principal investigators were under age 35. By 2015, this proportion was 3%. The dramatic ageing of independent scientists is bad because old people are simply worse at science than young people. Latest meta-scientific deep-dive from me 🧵 ⬇️
