Every single guy thinks they would have called out what happened at Cornell but none of the statistics support that. You deserve no social media validation for taking a stand or doing the right thing. That’s the bare fucking minimum

I did not realize that JD Vance has a new book coming out about his conversion to Catholicism and I'm sorry but Pope Leo has the opportunity to do the funniest thing right now.

So happy for Autumn Arkapaw! She’s so talented. A quick fact: Ryan Coogler has only ever worked with female cinematographers. His team represents the best of us.

Michael B. Jordan played two separate characters to such great effect that many viewers did not realize it was one actor. The only person I've ever seen do it better is Tatiana Maslany in Orphan Black. Timothee Chalamet couldn't nail a proper mid-century NYC accent despite being from NYC

After the U.S. and Israel launched their joint war on Iran, Israeli forces have imposed a near-total closure of municipal centers in the West Bank, shutting gates and restricting crossings without warning or perceptible logic. theintercept.com/2026/03/10/i...
A photo of a roadblock Israeli settlers installed on the main road between Sebastia, a Palestinian village south of Nablus, and Route 60, which connects the city to the central and southern West Bank, seen on March 7, 2026, overlaid with the headline, "With World’s Eyes on Iran, Israel Locks Down the West Bank."

Since we're talking Polio. In 2016 I got a Polio booster. The shot we get is considered "good enough" if you're living in places where polio is eradicated, but a booster is considered a good idea if you're going to places where Polio is still actively circulating. Do with that info what you will

The Open University just catered to a group of Israeli lobbyists, agreeing to stop using the term 'Ancient Palestine' quite literally because the word Palestine makes them uncomfortable. Destroying/covering up historical evidence of the existence of Palestine is blunt genocidal behavior.

While I appreciate the danger discussed here, I am very tired of articles that use passive voice to discuss a threat coming from a precise location. The threat is men. Men are using tech as a tool to abuse, demean, and disenfranchise women. Period. www.ft.com/content/60e2...

How tech turned against women
As AI-generated sexualised images proliferate and app-facilitated abuse spreads, we are sleepwalking into a new age of gender inequality. It is time to regulate properly

Can these women stop losing their minds over other women who as a rule won't go 50/50 with a man? I'm not a tradwife, but I do have values. And you will NEVER catch me with my name on someone's bank account. Of course I have my own money. He will be paying.

When you don’t know something about a people, you don’t have to therefore choose to believe the worst about them. That’s such a basic concept yet it’s amazing how many people need to hear and contemplate it.

My family of veterans likes to say that everyone should be required to serve in the military. They also have nothing but horror stories about enlistment. Suffering and misery doesn’t build character. War doesn’t build community strength or health. Much of what we’ve been told is a lie.

To me, Christmas isn't about perfection or consumerism. It's about family togetherness. It's about decorating your cottage with acorns and goblin bones. It's about riding a colossal owl through an eldritch snowstorm. It's about crawling through a tunnel and feeding grubs to the Peppermint Man.

If I see one more freaking person type "would of" instead of "would HAVE" I fear I'm going to lose my goddamn mind. "Would've" is what you guys are saying, or "should've," etc. not "would of." Do you even realize that it doesn't make sense? Between this bs and AI I'm so done

Dimensional Lumber Tape Measure xkcd.com/3138/
Comic. Dimensional Lumber Tape Measure. [mockup of “2x4” piece of wood showing the dimensions as 1½“ by 3 ½“] Dimensional lumber sizes are tricky. A “2x4” is actually 1½“ by 3 ½“, and a “1x8” is ¾“ by 7⅛“. [two tape measures: one is labeled 12’, the other 12’*] If you know someone into carpentry or woodworking, get them our *dimensional lumber tape measure*. [A “normal tape measure” with even increments and a “dimensional lumber tape measure” with increments at different lengths for each inch] *Don’t tell them you got it*—just leave it in their toolbox. They’ll appreciate the surprise when all their measurements work out!
