The centre-left CDPJ is apparently creating a brand new party and coalition in the lower house with the moderate economically conservative (but LGBTQ+ and progressive friendly) Komeito party just in time for the election. It's called the Centrist Reform Alliance.
While these two parties I have an issue with, honestly I'm all for it. We need to dispose of the LDP's decades-long rule and end the shift to the hard right. I feel this is the only way to finally take politics back from the hardcore conservatives.
Stay away from the U.S. and its federal thugs. Do not come here for FIFA. Do not come here for the Olympics. Do not come here at all if you value your life and liberty.
just figured out how to time travel #Winning . oh fuck they’re onto me
so much of anthropology in russian schools is straight up scientific racism. it’s even imprinted in wikipedia where on the russian segment of wikipedia the existence of races is taken as a fact whereas on the english segment it’s mostly left as descriptions of a defunct theory
If you ascribe everything going on in the US right now to "they must be being influenced by Russia", then do yourself a favor and read about the history of the DHS, the FBI report on police officers keeping known white supremacists in their ranks, and the US's history of racism when the state thinks it's advantageous.
We've done internment camps before. We've done mass deportation raids before. The aleutian people never fully recovered from being placed in concentration camps during WWII by the US for the crime of looking vaguely asian while living close to the russian border.
What's happening right now is a terrifying escalation, and should serve as a wakeup call to the evils we've already been committing. Saying this is because we're a puppet state, or controlled by russia, or that ICE is some secret mossad op, or any of the other conspiracy theories going around right now just shifts the blame away from us.
It says "things are bad right now but, with enough nationalism and suspicion of foreigners, I'm sure we can fix it!"
I’m pirating a picture book my youngest kid borrowed from the library. Never too young to get into the media preservation craft.
💚 Today is the International Day of Clean Energy.
- Nearly half of Europe's electricity came from renewables in 2024.
- We saved €120 billion through energy efficiency measures.
- And in June 2025, solar became the EU's largest power source for the first time in history.
Today we reaffirm our commitment to clean energy over imported fossil fuels, and to become the first climate-neutral continent by 2050.
pluribus is pretty much just human domestication guide if you don’t think about it
