@ingrid The problem with capitalism is that you eventually run out of other people's money.

@pluralistic@mamot.fr I had one teacher that would mutter expletives every time the "Renaissance" came up in course work and did offer their opinions on the "Renaissance" a couple of times, which concurs with Palmer's stance.

@anarchademic@kolektiva.social @ChrisMayLA6@zirk.us "Never interrupt your enemy when he's making a mistake." Thank you. That is much preferable to say in polite company than "never get in the way of a man trying screw himself in the ass.'

@Wen Agreed. If you're close enough to photograph an animal you're close enough to shoot it with a gun. Hunting costs more money than shopping at the grocers so asides from getting rid of serious nuisances shooting animals with guns is, in most cases, a bloodsport for immature lackwits. I like stalking/hunting but photographs of animals are better trophies of the event than a head(which is a bugger to keep clean anyway).

@Natasha_Jay Thank you for posting this. I hope it becomes the norm in all videos of fencing. Because while I like fencing I find watching Olympic fencing on television tedious.

@KrissyKat@hoosier.social Anyone who is curious about a child's genitalia needs to have a word with a counsellor ...or a police officer.

@nblr Why do I feel this is not good news?

@passenger@kolektiva.social @futurebird@sauropods.win @waitworry@sakurajima.moe I would argue that beaten children become adults that physically abuse others only if they have parents or guardians that approve and reward that behaviour when they are children.

@futurebird@sauropods.win Agreed. And I say this as someone who Social Services had a fat file on because I was covered in bruises since I was a baby. I grew up with no respect for authority figures because my parents and teachers would smack me or emotionally abuse me. Smacking children does not turn them into angels.

@rysiek Even if the USA does keep the Straight of Hormuz blocked it doesn't mean that much to Iran since the USA has much more to lose so Iran can out wait the USA indefinitely. Besides... https://mastodon.bida.im/@Kruku/116392687059501386

@Sheep_Overboard Sounds familiar.

@cryptadamist Eeuw! Nasty fuck.

@cranachan I agree. The only use for the House of Lords I can perceive is, without any power over government policies, as an official lobbyist body to the government(after the crown's power over government has been gelded and the UK news media has been nationalised or reformed, the BBC included). Such a lobbyist body would be maintained by corporates & the very rich. Of course all this would require considerable reformation of the UK government and the electoral process.

@cranachan I agree that the House of Lords should be defunded and have nothing to do with UK government legislation. But removing hereditary peers from the House of Lords only means UK governments, which have been progressively Right wing since the 1980s, can fill the House of the Lords with unelected neoliberal Right wing supporters of their policies. And they will be there for life.

@catsalad @tk MAGA electorate?

@woozle @ingrid Not that I have the money to do otherwise but I rarely buy anything new. Also old phones are less likely to get you mugged in town especially during the recession/Brexit slump/Covid slump/war funding.

@PhilipCJames@mas.to The US' lack of control of guns makes the USA a danger zone. https://skift.com/2022/06/15/the-troubling-new-reality-for-u-s-tourisms-hard-sell/

@fabio Thank you for posting this and fuck mastodon.art.

@Garwboy Although I applaud this article would New Scientist even get advertising money if they didn't run puff pieces like this?

@cranachan ...or socialism^^

@JoBlakely The US is looking for a South American colony.

@mttaggart WelL, thiS IS a sUrPrIsE! No offence to you or your posting.

@AlisonW@fedimon.uk @openrightsgroup@social.openrightsgroup.org Under UK law a parent that does not exercise their authority over their children can be held accountable for a child's crimes.

@AlisonW@fedimon.uk @openrightsgroup@social.openrightsgroup.org It is a grey area, written so to be another cosh to use on the poor and those out of favour of the state and to accommodate the very wealthy and powerful who desire control of their children without any responsibility.

@goodnewsrobot@mastodon.clinicians-exchange.org This innovation will be bastardised to turn buildings into cold wet caves in the same way Reinforced Autoclaved Aerated Concrete (RAAC) had school roofs collapse on students.

@Gargron@mastodon.social This makes me smile. Especially since it also reminds of how the media treat politicians and the leadership class.

@swggrkllr3rd@mastodon.world @randahl@mastodon.social And the Reform Party and the Conservative Party and the (New) Labour Party.

@dirtyoldtown@mefi.social I sympathise. I am also bemused by the US competitiveness with the UK; every time we screw up the US has to go one better, or rather one worse.
