Holy shit, ten minutes in and the Supreme Court appears to be doing... law. Not politics. They're actually trying to figure out laws instead of which side of the culture war to bang on. I don't know how long it's going to last but it's pretty neat. New term smell, yo.

Yes every woman has been harassed, many assaulted. But every woman has also experienced invisible loss from moments she avoided harassment. She felt a space becoming unsafe, so she left, while men stayed on. And in leaving, she lost: opportunities, experiences, learning, promotions, even simply fun.

This is how the new CBS keeps people from remembering that the longest serving GOP Speaker of the House ultimately went to jail for covering up child rape. Which is apparently always in season.

Hot take: I don't think social media made people dumber. We've been dumb this whole time. It's just that you used to have to have a job that people sent their dumb letters to, to notice. This made "Engaging with fools" an occupational hazard rather than the 24/7 experience it is presently.

A man builds an IED. He sets it off in a busy public street. Shrapnel flies about hitting cars, homes and a child's bedroom. It's a miracle nobody is injured. And Reform MP Sarah Pochin calls his imprisonment "disproportionate" and "two tier justice."
It does raise this point of two-tiered
justice..


Reform's Sarah Pochin believes the
sentence handed to the 64-year-old who
blew up a ULEZ camera was
disproportionate'.

1/3 Was der „Fokus“ hier macht, ist infam. Kerkelings Vater wurde als Kommunist in das #KZ #Buchenwald eingewiesen und bekam dort den roten Winkel eines politischen Häftlings. Die NS-Justiz warf ihm zudem „kriminelle“ Delikte vor, damals seitens der politischen Justiz nicht
Artikel von Folus online, 2.10.2026. Textausschitt:

„Kerkeling inszeniert sich seit einiger Zeit schon als Nazi-Betroffener – und begründet das mit der Erfahrung seines kommunistischen Großvaters, der ein Nazi-Opfer war. So bei einer Gedenkrede in Buchenwald.

ANZEIGE

Nun berichtete die „Münsterland“-Zeitung, der lokale Ableger der seriösen „Ruhr-Nachrichten“, über neue historische Funde zu Kerkelings Großvater. Dokumente belegten dessen „Straftaten, Vorstrafen und eine Verurteilung wegen Bandendiebstahls“, heißt es in einem Bericht von Ende August.“
