A Democratic candidate for Congress, Bernadette Greene-Placentia, went out to fix one of her damaged campaign signs in Arizona. She was attacked and raped. Please note that this article may be triggering and do take care if you read it.

Embarrassed, she initially didn’t want to report attack. Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office's investigation is ongoing. A Phoenix New Times exclusive.

Always wondered what it felt like to live in an era of collapsing empire. Roman, Byzantine, Chinese, British… now I know. I do not think I approve. Maybe I should go back and reread Boethius. Alternatively, there could be a humorous book in this, “Does fish really rot from the head down.”

Either there’s rule of law or there’s not. Either we are defined by a system of justice that holds the guilty accountable or we aren’t. Either we have a democracy that limits abuse to define our public life and the rights of citizens or we have a country collapsing into strongman authoritarianism.

Somebody should ask the administration if 911 was a “small price to pay” for getting rid Osama Bin Laden. Which Barack Obama did, by the way.

We can’t fight fascism because as one of the core tenets of our country, America would need to do systemic boring work to undo it It’s bureaucratic, unsexy and ultimately can only be done by committed action and yes preference to the most harmed WITHOUT malice We don’t want that

It is to the U of A, Greek Alumni make up most of the contributors to the U of A foundation. There is an argument to be made, though, that the U of A has gone out of its way to avoid integration with Tucson and Southern AZ community.  And is indifferent to its fate.

Honestly, next time they want to sell off Warner Bros (in... about three years at a guess) they should just give it to me. I won't pay eighty billion for it, but nor will I go into eighty billion dollars' worth of debt to buy it, so I wouldn't immediately have to sell it off again to pay the debt.

Whatever happened to the new no-patent COVID vaccine touted as a global game changer?
The inventors of Corbevax said it was cheap, easy to make, effective and safe. They hoped it could bring vaccine equity to countries that can't access costlier shots. Has it lived up to its promise?

They must have one hell of a petty cash fund. AGENT: “I’d like $50 million in gold please.” ADMIN ASSISTANT: “Sure. Just sign here. What are you gonna do with it?” AGENT: “It’s a secret mission.” AA: “We get a lot of those. Pick it up on your way out.”

You should buy it and make a Flintstones air bed and breakfast. It’s the right price and it would be very hard to damage if you put in rock Furniture with with a few cushions. You could even put in fake dinosaurs outside how cool would that be?

RIP to a great actress and wonderful human, Eva Marie Saint. In 1996, I was fortunate to meet her, her husband, Bill Moyers, and Jonathan Kozol when they were promoting a documentary about public education inequalities based upon Kozol's book "Savage Inequalities."

I hadn’t thought of our situation, society’s current problems, in this way before. Also, the speed of disintegration on the Federal level is hard to process. As an optimist, our collapse is incredibly hard to admit. One always assumes we’re going to get out of it, rebuild, and progress forward.

So I am 100% certain that we as a collective society are not spending enough time discussing the pure mental tax that living in a collapsing empire causes. People are breaking under the depravity of everything daily, and there seems to be unspoken polite agreement to just not comment on it at all...

Lola Álvarez Bravo mantuvo amistad con una comunidad de artistas, entre ellos Frida Kahlo. Álvarez Bravo y Kahlo compartieron una relación muy cercana, quizá debido a sus matrimonios turbulentos y a la escasez de referentes femeninos en sus respectivos campos.
Retrato de cuerpo entero de Frida Kahlo mirándose en un espejo. Kahlo lleva un vestido negro de encaje de cuello alto, aretes con cuentas y el cabello recogido en una corona trenzada. Dos perros deambulan a sus pies.

Upon reflection, I think “end times” are a con. PREACHER: “And come the end times, there will be weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth.” LITTLE OLD LADY (shouts from audience): “But sir! I have no teeth.” PREACHER (roars): “Teeth, madam, will be provided.”
