I got such a sharp pang of second-hand embarrassment off this.

There is no area, of any city which isn’t made infinitely better by well-thought through pedestrianisation.

Americans will swear that New York pizza is totally different and a unique culinary invention created by Americans but then act dense about a kind of curry invented in Glasgow

A grown adult just tried to me that Indian curry is British food And I thought the American public education system was bad lmao
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
British-Indian food is its own cuisine, dating back to colonial occupation. Traditional Indian food was adapted for British palates and became part of British food culture. The UK’s unofficial national dish, chicken tikka masala, was invented by a Pakistani-Scottish man. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anglo-Ind… en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curry_in_… en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicken_t… en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ali_Ahmed…

It’s so annoying that right-wingers will never admit they lost an election. Shit is pathetic. They can’t even hold the L for an election in another country.

This is Novi Sad, the site of the horrific awning collapse that killed 16 people, sparking the massive student-led protests that led to Vučić's demise two years later. Seeing the entire place bounce like this is truly a once-in-a-lifetime thing.

Huge respect to the organizers, activists and voters of Brazil and Serbia. These results are due to so much work and they give us so much hope. There is nothing inevitable about the far right.

This is obviously going to be a great success and soon everyone will wonder why it wasn't done decades earlier.

I’ve watched this back like ten times today and the moment with Ayoade at 2:20 kills me every single time. An absolute triumph.

🚨Brazil Presidential Election🚨 With Lula’s victory, Jair Bolsonaro will remain in prison after being sentenced to 27 years and 3 months in 2025 for his role in the Brazilian coup plot of 2022-2023. Bolsonaro was hoping a victory by his son would ensure his early release from prison.

‼️ We've reached the crossover in counted votes, and I'm confident enough to call the election. Lula will be RE-ELECTED as president of Brazil (>99% chance).

Truly feels like there's just no coming back from the Trump second term for the US. And to think there are over two more years of stuff like this to come yet.

I just feel like that odour of a lack of dignity and decorum is just going to stick with me - viscerally - for as long as I'm alive.
