Trump & his admin were going to frame an innocent Marylander for "vandalizing" the reflecting pool, when Trump's handpicked contractor now admits it was their own shoddy installation.   Yet another shameless attempt to weaponize our justice system against Americans. This must end.

Reflecting Pool Contractor Blames Its Own Repairs, Not Vandals, for Damage
The contractor said the pool’s new blue liner peeled and tore because of “human oversight” and a flawed plan that involved layering two incompatible chemicals, documents show.

Paramount Caught Using ‘Astroturf’ Group To Drum Up Fake Support For Merger
We've well established how the $111 billion Paramount and Warner Brothers merger is terrible for labor, creatives, consumers, and markets. But the kind of behaviors Paramount leadership have been engaged in to sell the deal also give a pretty clear indication what kind of company we're dealing with, and why they shouldn't be allowed to...

It’s interesting how conservatives complain about a black person in the Odyssey when ancient western civilizations were fairly diverse, all things considered. I would imagine you would have found as much diversity in Ancient Athens as modern New York City.

Brett Meiselas says RFK Jr. blaming teenagers' sperm and Dr. Oz saying Americans are "under babied" are not only weird—they miss the point. The reason people aren't having kids is simple: income inequality has become so extreme that Americans can barely afford housing and food, let alone raise kids.

Trump wanted a war with Iran because he thought Americans would rally around a war president and it would drive his poll numbers up. It did the opposite. So thousands of lives & billions of dollars were wasted, and the price you pay for gas is significantly higher, because Donald Trump is an idiot.

There is no clearer case for the necessity of Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 than how quickly southern states moved to eliminate Black-majority districts and dilute Black power after SCOTUS eroded Section 2. SCOTUS’s reasoning was immediately disproven by reality.

This is depressing mostly because it shows how powerful pop culture is compared to education. The Flintstones helped normalize the image of humans living alongside dinosaurs, and if someone grows up with that as a “default mental picture,” it can stick even if they later learn otherwise.
dear Atheists: How is it that cavemen survived the asteroid but dinosaurs didn't?
Scientist: Social distancing, they stayed 65 million years apart.
