Trump is fundamentally evil, Biden is fundamentally decent. We had two late-life candidates with different forms and degrees of cognitive impairment. The choice voters made was disastrous.

In 1974, Cornell lecturer Lin Farley began recognizing a pattern in the experiences women shared in her Women and Work course: women were being pushed out of jobs by men’s sexual behavior. Farley coined the term, “sexual harassment.”

Attacking Madonna for still being Madonna at 68 is just misogyny. Did y'all really expect her to age into a kindly, humble little ole grandma who gave up on her sex appeal? Also: If Madonna had gone to the VMAs and everyone had been happy with how she behaved, would she even be Madonna?

Obviously I’m entirely made of Housing but a real good zoning reform we could make is re-legalizing corner stores on residential streets. Banned by the same 1957 code that banned ADUs, so maybe that’s next

You may wonder: "Why bother with this tired media criticism of @nytimes.com? They'll never change how they cover Trump." The US's crisis of democracy is probably the most important story in the world, so I'm going to keep complaining when the US's biggest newspaper fails in its coverage of it.

The ability to pour hundreds of millions of pounds into a loss-making TV channel, bent on wrenching British politics sharply to the right, is yet another of the ways in which extreme wealth is trying to remake UK democracy. It needs to be part of any serious conversation about political funding.

My fundamental gripe with originalism beyond its practice being indistinguishable from divination, it's also an implicit framework that forces us to be governed by the dead or worse, the malicious interpretation of the dead.

I don’t think the roman helmet guys on musk’s csam emporium know this one (from josephine quinn’s how the world made the West)

By now the Roman imperial economy depended heavily on African agriculture, manufacturing, and trade, much of which was in the hands of Africans themselves. At the same time, local landowners attained great power and status in Rome: by the 180s CE nearly a third of Roman senators were of African origin.[33] These were men like Septimius Severus,

I read the ending and I wanted to koolaid man through a wall!!

Screenshot of article which reads: To restore a functioning and
pluralistic democracy in the United States, reversing over a decade of
democratic backsliding in the world’s oldest democracy, the thing to
“fix” is not polarization. Polarization is the country’s immune response
to an unpopular, antidemocratic, and intentionally divisive faction grabbing for disproportionate power to the detriment of national success,
reputation, and democratic self-government. Tamping down that immune response only allows this minority faction to have greater control.

Screenshot of article which reads: But the fury of the argument shows the importance of the outcome.
When we focus on polarization as the problem, the solution is for ev-
eryone to quiet down and be “civil”—an outcome that benefits those
who are willing to grab as much power as they can without concern
for legality or civility. When we see the problem for what it is, the
solution is to defend the most robust social progress in American his-
tory—progress that has already been codified into law and enjoyed
by everyone alike. U.S. democracy needs leaders who are willing to
defend those rights and voters who are willing to hold accountable the
leaders who will not defend them. It does not need everyone simply to calm down.
