Jawn (/jôn/)
A term used by New York transplants to pander to locals and/or cynically promote their recently opened boutique, restaurant, or bakery.
“Come celebrate the grand opening of our new French-Belgian infusion café on Shunk. We’re calling it Merde Jawn.”
Parking Space (/ˈpärkiNG/ /spās/)
Any spot in a bike lane, sidewalk, or even a turning lane, apparently.
“Whaddaya mean I can’t stop my car in the middle of a one-way street? I got my hazards on, just go around.”
Philly Native (/ˈfilē/ /ˈnādiv/)
How people born and raised in South Jersey or Delaware County describe themselves.
“Well, I grew up about an hour outside of Philly. But my Mom-mom lived in Rhawnhurst once, so I’m pretty much a Philly native.”
Cheesesteak (/ˈCHēzˌstāk/)
An honestly pretty basic sandwich that locals insist is only worth getting from one particular, out-of-the-way restaurant that just so happens to be in the neighborhood where they grew up.
The decision by Labour’s National Executive Committee (NEC) officers’ group to block Andy Burnham from even applying to stand in the Gorton and Denton by-election is an appalling act of political misjudgement. It risks damaging the party at precisely the moment when it should be focused on winning arguments with voters, rather than intervening to […]

From Minneapolis to Davos, the state shows who it polices — and who it protects.
The growing backlash against ICE's killing of Alex Pretti will be a turning point in public opinion towards the President, predicts Alexandra Hall Hall
~by Sean Paul Kelley Everyone is talking about gold topping $5k an ounce. The yellow metal is captivating and big moves by it tend to suck all the oxygen out of the media space regarding other metals. In 2025 gold rose a whopping 64% against all comers, i.e the dollar, the S&P 500, oil, Bitcoin […]
As we mentioned in our last blog post GitLab issue migration: immediate changes, we will continue to migrate more and more projects.
We gathered a list of projects where their maintainers agreed to help us test the migration process at #3409678: Opt-in GitLab issues. What does it mean if your project is being migrated or if you are collaborating in one of those migrated projects?
Det Norberg säger i den här videon är typiskt för libertarianer och nyliberaler. För anhängare av Marknadens tusenåriga rike är ökade inkomst- och förmögenhetsklyftor i samhället bara av godo. För dem handlar mänskliga rättigheter bara om den egna äganderätten och friheten att få sköta sig själv. Att människor skulle kunna ha en rätt till välfärd föresvävar inte […]
So the Trump administration has just pulled the US out of the World Health Organization, WHO. WHO is the biggest and most important international health organization. It’s an arm of the United Nations. It’s been around since 1948. Almost every country in the world is a member. Most people have only the vaguest idea of […]
Today in Britain, the first far-right government in our history is a very real prospect. Nigel Farage in power would be the biggest triumph for the enemies of the working class since his idol Margaret Thatcher took office almost five decades ago — and could make the 1980s look like an easy ride. It would […]
Dear Customers:
Some humans (I think? Hard to tell) in masks and vests showed up this morning and took Manny and Kumal away. As you may have noticed, those two were the only staff—despite this place being open from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m., truly lazy, shiftless drains on society, those fellas—but nobody turned around the sign or locked the door, so if you all want that pack of cigarettes you tell your kids you don’t smoke or a good-enough bagel with a schmear, you’re gonna have to deal with me.

On policy and raw politics, Keir Starmer's leadership is crushing dreams of a better world, argues Mainstream co-founder Neal Lawson
In 1942, William Beveridge said presciently, ‘It is a time for Revolutions, not for Patching’. He was referring to social security, then in disarray. The same could be said today, but it could also be said (with equal force) about the state of the education system. We are at a moment of economic, ecological, and […]
I denna rapport studeras inkomstutvecklingen för makteliten mellan 1950-2024. Vi kan konstatera att maktelitens genomsnittliga inkomst i relation till industriarbetarlönen i årets undersökning är på den högsta nivå som uppmätts under dessa dryga 70 år. Den genomsnittliga inkomsten för den grupp vi kallar den ekonomiska eliten – vd:arna på 50 av de största svenska företagen … … Continue reading
There’s a lot of confusion over this topic, so let’s break down some of the factors. The principle is that you need someone to buy whatever it is you want to produce. That means it has to be priced reasonably, and that you either have to have foreign or domestic consumers. It’s often noted that […]
I. Be interested in your subject. II. Know your subject. III. Know about the ways of learning: the best way to learn anything is to discover it by yourself. IV. Try to read the faces of your students, try to see their expectations and difficulties, put yourself in their place. V. Give them not only … … Continue reading

“Even as videos emerged that contradicted the government’s account, the Trump administration was in a race to control the narrative around the killing of Mr. Pretti, a registered nurse with no criminal record who was pinned down when immigration agents opened fire and killed him.” — New York Times

Given recent events in Minneapolis, we are issuing this updated guidance to ensure all residents remain calm, compliant, and emotionally manageable as operations continue.
1. What happened was not what happened.
While it may have looked like a shooting, it was actually a “rapid de-escalation outcome.” We recognize that phrases like that may sound invented, which is why we ask you to repeat them anyway.
If you witnessed something disturbing, please understand that witnessing is not evidence. Evidence is what exists after it has been reviewed by the people who require it not to exist.
