RFK: "There's five hundred million Arabs in the world. And yet they don't produce science. They don't win the Nobel Prize. They don't win the Fields Prize. They don't win the Wolf Prize. They don't produce literature."
The only reason I can think of for this news not being absolutely everywhere is that large media orgs donāt want to be seen as putting their thumbs on the scales a week before election day. And thatās cowardly as shit.
Beyond disgusted by even more rape allegations against the President of the United States.
"In total, more than 25 different women...have independently accused Donald Trump of rape, sexual assault, or other sexual misconduct."

Love my wife, but she really needs to differentiate her pet names for me versus the cat.
Itās causing me humiliation and I can only imagine how it must affect him.
Iām not a political journalist, so was gladly surprised at the community I found here last night. To Americans anxious about the upcoming elections, a key thing we learned in Brazil that might help you: DO NOT engage with the far-right online. Donāt share rage bait. Amplify your people. Ignore them.

JUST IN: The police shooting that killed 1-year-old Kohen Wiley as he sat in his motherās lap in a Walmart parking lot in Senatobia, Miss., in June āwas justified,ā Mississippi Attorney General Lynn Fitchās office said on Monday.
Her office will not charge the white officer who shot the child.
Theyāre live-streaming the execution of the person they think they can get away with doing that to first. Itās a test. If they can do that, theyāll expand the margins of permission.

I was tempted to pirate HP, curiosity and all that. But @jessiegender.bsky.social is right - think of the amount of times HBO commented on GOT leaks and downloads, just as an example.
They DO track these things, and even that drives interest.
Let this show die.
Trans people deserve better.
I don't wanna COUCH my words here: I know JD Vance, his eyeliner, and absent Ashley Moody are used to running away from people when things get tough because they care more about themselves and their billionaire buddies than the people they represent. But this is my home. /1

Tough competition of course, but the Trump admin deciding that white South Africans are the only group of people on earth currently worthy of refugee status has to be the most overtly racist thing any administration has done in decades
Hi folks. If you saw this, you know the administration plans to only accept white South Africans next year. Tomorrow is Congress's formal say before the determination is signed. Please check this brief thread on why I'd like you to speak out for the Afghan people still in limbo...
New whistleblower reports highlight horrific conditions at ICE facilities right here in Florida ā in Miramar and Orlando ā including black mold, overcrowding, and detainees sleeping on concrete floors or in chains.
This is unacceptable.
I'm demanding accountability and an end to these abuses.
I think an important framing here is āCelebrities, your bottom line is far more dependent on public sentiment than the less visible, wealthier billionaires attempting to pull your strings.
āThey own brands. You are your brand.
āYouāll always be the fall guy.ā
Going into PotP not knowing thereād be a character called BEEF, then experiencing the joy of that characterās introduction in real time... that was a gift.
RIP to a real one.

Especially when you can say āTrans people didnāt tank our economy, snatch our neighbors off the street or line their pockets with billions of tax payer dollars.ā
Very disheartening to see more and more Dem politicians lean into anti trans positions and when trans people say "man, this sucks" they get swarmed by people yelling at them for handing elections to the GOP. Wish they had that energy for the politicians.

attacking trans people hurts dem politicians and that take is missing from this whole news cycle. dems attacking trans people makes it more likely you will lose, defending trans people makes it more likely they win
I want democrats to win so they need to defend trans people
sorry, but torturing the omelas kid is just a smart move, polling-wise. i personally wish there wasn't a kid in the omelas hole--of course i do!--but let's not get distracted by purity tests, here.
Everyday I think about an old journalism professor who took a jab at the PR majors for being pay-to-play instead of beholden to the truth.
It seemed wildly out of touch back then and has only gotten worse
Tilly Norwood has been billed the first AI "actor" in Hollywood which raises questions about what awards synthetic performers should be nominated for. In an exclusive chat with CNN's Elizabeth Wagmeister, Tilly Norwood responded to questions about winning an Oscar.
āDonāt do that, itās bad.ā Boring, judgy, activates oppositional defiance disorder.
āGo ahead a do it, itāll destroy you and spare us your company.ā Bold, ominous, activates my fear of disappointing a father figure.

Iāve said Americaās reliance on the aesthetics of Nazism to depict evil has left many with the idea itās not really fascism til the uniforms come out.
So by all means, please do this.
Escalating a political fight over two deaths in Pennsylvania, the CDC said on Friday that it did not have any records to indicate āmeasles is the underlying causeā of any deaths in the country this year.

the best thing a new administration could do to cut Big Tech down to size is offer a bounty and immunity to employees who provide evidence of crimes committed by their bosses.
Any sweeping systemic change you want to make in the United States has to begin with adding seats to the Supreme Court in 2029. No major reform bill will survive the current court. No civil rights law, no anti-corruption law, no wealth tax, nothing.
i said the new cdc director deserved a fair chance to earn our trust. i don't think she's earned it, and i think we're past the point where she needs to resign
It's worth noting that this isn't a random number but a goal that would simply restore the court to an earlier norm in which there's one justice for each of the judicial circuits. We used to have nine, we now have thirteen.
The people defending the current setup have the tougher case to make here.
Rep. James Clyburn says he supports expanding the Supreme Court: "13 is a pretty good number. A baker's dozen would be a good number to have on the Court."
Make your favorite film sound as boring as possible without giving away the title:
Man takes his father and siblings to pick up his daughter after a day by the river.
My unasked for āIs Rocky Horror Picture Show Problematic?ā take is: every performance of the movie Iāve ever seen has featured a consent talk beforehand
If thereās a full tradition of depiction =\= endorsement for a work, then maybe the point becomes a little moot?
