If only there was a word for “exploitative sexual behavior with a 16-year-old girl when he was 30.”

Vulture@vulture.com

Russell Brand admitted to ‘exploitative’ sexual behavior with a 16-year-old girl when he was 30, but claimed it was ‘consensual.’ He currently awaits trial.

Here’s one for Tom. Mexican gangs import guns from the US to terrorize Mexicans. Is it okay for Mexico to send drones in to destroy gun stores in Texas and kill the “gun dealers?"

BERMAN: Would it be legal for police in Arkansas to kill suspected drug dealers on a boat in a lake? TOM COTTON: The premise of your question is not well-founded BERMAN: The answer is no. It would not be legal to kill them.

If the Ellisons believe this, they should livestream their lives 24/7 on a public website, from multiple camera angles, with multiple bo mics and let their AI help with the sound mixing, so we don’t miss a word.

For decades, the government has advised that all babies be vaccinated against the liver infection right after birth. The shots are widely considered to be a public health success for preventing thousands of illnesses.

Just imagine how many people would sign up to Facebook if the ad campaign was “help us end homelessness in seven years by joining Facebook” with a website counter showing every homeless person housed per day in the campaign. I would never go back, but many would.

It would cost $30 billion to end homelessness in the USA.

A lot of people ask why deepfake sexual abuse is legal—in theory, it’s not. But why perpetrators aren’t often held to account follows the exact same patterns of inaction regarding all forms of sexual abuse

The irony of a slaveholder writing this.

ALTMAN: And so you can use Sora to generate interesting videos of you and your friends, all with AI. FALLON: (giggling) So, heh, so that's a video of me in space, wow! ALTMAN: Exactly.

This man ripped off teachers, nurses, small business owners - people from all walks of life and professions. Some lost their life savings. Not only did Trump let him out of prison, he also doesn’t have to pay back the victims.

I saw a news report this morning that peace negotiations with Russia were still not started as of around 7am EST which is 3pm Moscow time, probably because someone overslept after a hard night of blitz posting

RIP Dave The skits on the new De La album are not entertaining I don’t know how anyone expected the guys to be funny after losing Dave. They should have nixed skits for this record until they could recover a bit. Or just outsourced the skits to Dave Chapelle or something

And then there's this— Alt5 Sigma is yet to file its Q3 report. It told the SEC the delay was partly due to the “timeliness and responsiveness” of its accountant. When asked who its accountant was at the time of the filing, an Alt5 Sigma spokesperson said, “We have no comment at this time.” 6/

Indiana GOP is going for it: They've released a proposed map that'd likely lock in a 9-0 GOP congressional delegation & flip the 2 currently held by Dems. Indianapolis would be cracked into GOP seats, and Gary would be drowned in red. The big question: Will the Senate still stop it?
