it’s become so normal for people to disclose their rapes to appeal to people’s humanity around rape cases that we don’t think about how disgusting the need to do that is put the worst moment of your life out for public consumption, so that half the comments can call you a liar.

Blinken went from working for Biden as Sec of State… negotiating on behalf of the U.S. with Israel… to working as a consultant for companies that create the the AI death machine assisting genocide for Israel in Gaza. Before 2025 pretending to try to stop genocide. After 2025 serving genocide.

53 years ago, hip-hop was born at a back-to-school party in the Bronx. Now, the Bronx School of Hip Hop is preparing a new generation of artists to shape what comes next. I sat down with Nas to talk about the past, present, and future of hip-hop in NYC — from the turntables to our classrooms.

y'all if you get mad about women saying "choose the bear" please look up bear assault and murder statistics and then contrast with human men. It is objectively reasonable to choose the bear.

remember: it saved no net money, social services US citizens are getting cut, and left the US in a weaker place geopolitically. none of the debates about fiscal responsibility, obligation to US citizens first, or 'hard choices' actually apply. they're all bullshit. killed people for nothing at all.

As someone who has been covering transgender rights for years, let me be clear about something: When you see capitulation over sports, know that it NEVER stops at sports. And in fact, Turek illustrated this just yesterday when he embraced a federal ban on funding for all trans care.

I know JD Vance has claimed a monopoly on being the “oracle” of Appalachia. But let me tell you, we have lots of actually-from-Appalachia students at U Cincinnati Law School. And the takeaway *they* got was “do the right thing” and “lift up the people behind you.” Not “don’t be an entitled loser.”

Also absolutely disgusting, false, and extremely typically elitist of her (truly she is the most classic of uppity rich white women) to denigrate an entire genre that she doesn’t deem worthy when in fact it is THE most popular genre made by incredibly talented writers!

"What? Filing a lawsuit with the Supreme Court?" It's rare. But when states are bitch slapping each other, that's how it gets sorted. Abortion-ban states are really angry that abortion-friendly states won't extradite doctors providing care to patients in the ban states. Shit just got real.
