It’s a bad headline: seems easy to believe that there’s just a lot more journalists around today than there were in the world wars.

Much better would be to highlight from the body of the article that the death toll is also more than have been killed in the invasion of Ukraine. That one’s modern, well-covered by media, Russia has repeatedly targeted civilians, and Russia’s been attacking for longer. So to have still killed more journalists makes it clear that it’s deliberate.

I wonder if the sleep-change fucks up our brains and that’s why more people aren’t upset about it.

Until this comment, I’d completely forgotten about how the most recent time-change messed up me and the puppy I’ve been training, because of course she needs to pee as soon as she wakes up at 6am every day…

But note that that’s about nudity and sex being the same, and the sex is pornographic (that is, the intent in showing it is to arouse the viewer). The OP is about non-sexual nudity. In fact, OP doesn’t mention sex at all, but I feel like it’s reasonable to extend the argument to non-pornographic depictions of sex.

The subtext of “anti-DEI”, though, is that it is not possible to have two competent candidates where one is a woman/minority because conservative Christian English-speaking white men from wealthy families are inherently superior.

It’s a funny post, but a serious point. The Europe of my childhood was different countries all very different from the US. But over time American media and algorithmic dominance are eroding things toward being America with accents. And what will you get for throwing away that cultural identity? Americans will still sneer at Europe.

I think a trickier question is: if Europe ought to retain its own identity, then shouldn’t each European country retain its own identity instead of banding together as “Europe”.

As a programmer, DST creates tons of bugs for anything using time and is annoying. But whatever, I guess I get paid either way.

As a parent, DST is miserable. It’s miserable as an adult, also, but multiplied misery when you have to get up early to ruin your kid’s sleep. And then that night they’re not ready to suddenly go to sleep an hour early so you lose an extra hour…

I hope Poland succeeds.
