A new survey of 1,000 American adults found that the strongest supporters of transgender sports bans are not the people who admire women most: they are the people who hold the most hostile views about women. www.helenwebberley.com/news/transge...

islamophobia just gets ignored, every time. No one cares

Trump on El-Sayed: "His name is actually Abduladadalalalala. It's Adulbabababababa Mohammed Al-Sayed. So his middle name is Mohammed. So I was right. He's a jihadist."

i wonder what it's gonna be like for kids being born now into a world where no matter how much they dedicate themselves to a craft, a computer is gonna be better than them regardless. probably fine

Masked Israeli settlers attacked Palestinian villagers on Friday, setting olive groves on fire and slinging rocks. Caught in the attack was Post photographer Heidi Levine. “They just kept kicking me and kicking me, like probably 50 times,” Levine said. https://wapo.st/4yt6dHY

the one time I went to a celebrity's house they had a giant fridge filled with every canned drink you could imagine, ten deep front to back and there was a guy whose job it was to keep the fridge stocked. I want one of those

question for the audience: if you were ultra rich (let’s say $25M), what completely frivolous thing are you buying?

It's really hard to say "The richest man in the world is constantly calling for a race war as he almost singularly sponsors the Republican Party and millions will die because of his brief tenure in government, where he likely looted private data from all Americans." But we're getting closer.

again and again we find the reason people vote for right wing parties is because they think they won't be targeted by those parties, only the undesirables will, just to find that a low level ICE pen pusher that failed the fitness test looked at their case for 3s before declaring them undesirable too

i generally do not like "mississippi voted for this so fuck mississippi" because the vulnerable and outvoted pay the price and i do not love "trump voter's spouse deported and s/he's mad because s/he was one of the good ones" because it feels dirty. but this? the own-petard hoisting? lol

For a long time I've wanted a sense of how trump has or hasn't interacted with chatbots (we know he posts a lot of slop sure). And this TIME anecdote about Grok arguably leading Trump into war is just extremely bracing

Pretty clear to me there’s a very good case against this man for mass murder, and I’m saying that in as measured a fashion as I can. He’s order the killing of 234 people under no plausible war or legal justification. I am skeptical he will ever face legal accountability for til his but he should.

Hegseth: "The ideological clowns are out. The patriotic cowboys are in, with testosterone testing on top."

if this man gets let back in to polite society in twenty years time i will firebomb the new york times

Hegseth: "It's worth saying again so the fake news understands it. We are no longer the woke department or the weak department. Simple translation of that -- no fatties no trannies no beardos no weirdos no wimps no radicals. Just warriors."

I don't think we disdain the center-right enough. First, they rode nativist populist tigers to power to get their tax cuts and deregulation; Then, they lost control of their own parties to those tigers; Now, they sit in lucrative jobs as columnists writing about how it's all the left's fault.

Every week the richest man in the world, who is both an unambiguous white supremacist and the largest Republican donor, posts heinous racist and antisemitic slop to the social media network he controls. Every week, reporters fail to treat this as a scandal worth their readers' time.

I'm deadly serious about this: every Republican should be shown this photo on TV and asked if they repudiate/reject/renounce Musk. And if not, why not.

Presenter: [The argument was put that DEI advanced people not on merit] Woolley: "There are 975 Professors at Cambridge. How many do you think are black? Paddy O'Connell: "Its a fair question you're asking me. So I am going to say 30%" Woolley: "I tell you: less than half a per cent"

No, that is not the alternative The alternative was treating like a normal news story, and not a trial by media - one that was so clearly turbocharged by Arday’s ethnic and social background and the growing resentment in the establishment in the UK of having more black people in high places

Terry Watkins@gerrygow.bsky.social

The alternative to this is people lying with impunity, with the media knowingly covering it up. It's an awful story. And the media will get a lot of the blame. But those who perpetuated the lies and shielded Arday from facing up to them deserve more of it.

I think nolan’s Odysseus is slightly better than the classic ‘soldier sad about war crimes he committed’ because they are usually victims of a system/government that compels them to do wrong (e.g Rambo) whereas odysseus is the one who creates the system that does evil.

He is the one who sends his men to commit war crimes and corrupts the world. He pays for this by exiling himself. I agree that him killing the suitors is presented as good which muddies the message.
