@netflix.com should take all these fantastic and fearless journalists and create a news arm. With CNN up next for the integrity dissection, Netflix could create a world class, worldwide news stream with global reach on their global platform. If you agree, share this. If you don't, that's cool too.

Told my wife to have dinner ready at 6 or I'll obliterate her entire civilization.

So anyway, she now charges me a fee to use the bathroom that used to be free, and I didn't get any dinner, but I'm pretty sure I won that exchange.

yes and thank you for the excuse to share one of my all-time favorite tweets (from @longwall26.bsky.social)
@longwall26
Confident in my ability to properly tennis, I take the court. I smile at my opponent. Serena does not return the gesture. She'd be prettier if she did, I think. She serves. The ball passes cleanly through my skull, killing me instantly

(this was in reply to a survey showing "One in eight men (12%) say they could win a point in a game of tennis against 23 time grand slam winner Serena Williams")

The rise of the far right isn’t due to culture or “wokeness.” It isn’t due to immigration either. It’s due to economics. Especially the global financial crisis.

This is Maria, a 6-year-old detained by ICE last year. She began to unravel soon after arriving at a detention center in Texas, wetting the bed after years without accidents, crying through the night and begging to breastfeed again. Most of all, she wanted to be reunited with her cat, Milo. 1/

‘Parishioners excused.’ That’s how bad it is. A Catholic bishop lifted the obligation to attend Mass because ICE might raid the church. Mass isn’t required “if a member of the faithful has a genuine fear of immigration enforcement actions.” The feds should be ashamed. Terrorizing the faithful.

This is one of the most piercing diagnoses of the problems of left-leaning political parties I’ve read in a long time. See, e.g. the Democratic Party’s response to Mamdani.

When Moderation Becomes Appeasement
If your chief goal is to find a middle ground with the far right on social issues, you’ll end up condoning its values—just ask Keir Starmer.

Less than a year ago @nytimes.com was sent hacked data about Trump's vetting of JD Vance, which they refused to publish. But Mamdami's hacked college application gets an exception because of interest from random online Nazis and Chris Rufo, the NYTimes' de facto executive editor.

Laughing in front of cages designed to hold migrants and refugees, many of whom came to this country fleeing extreme violence and poverty, and hoping to raise their children in a more compassionate country. And many of whom followed all the legal procedures to enter the country.

If our Christianity causes kids to go hungry, the sick to go without healthcare, the stranger to be unwelcome, and the needy to be treated as “parasites,” all while billionaires get richer, we’ve profoundly misunderstood the most basic elements of Jesus’ teachings.

When you worship power, compassion and mercy will look like sins. When you worship power, the harsher the treatment towards your "enemies," the more righteous it will look. When you worship power, the value and dignity of others is solely measured by their conformity to you.
