Can anybody tell me why Trump always taps his thigh with his hand? I’ve noticed it increasingly over the last year or so. Can that mean anything or is it just a self-soothing gesture?

And New York law has been wrong on rape before: “The only issue on which the jury did not find in Carroll's favor was whether she proved that Trump ‘raped’ her within the narrow, technical meaning of that term in the New York Penal Law… In Any Case, Carrolls Statements Were Substantially True.”

Says the guy found liable for sexual assault in civil court and was found, by a judge, to have raped a woman and still became president of the United States

If you read those messages & reports and then make excuses for those boys while judging that girl… true, the verdict isn’t yet in. But if that she doesn’t get hers, it’s nothing but a stark reminder that sexual assault can be legal and explained away. “But NY law says…” that law is damn wrong.

Congrats @lataco.bsky.social on launching vol. 02! Thank you for an evening of important stories, whimsy tales & good journalism
Copies of L.A. TACO publications arranged on a dark tabletop, including an L.A. TACO Magazine and the L.A. TACO POST newspaper with the headline “MAGA Billionaire Invades Our City!” Accompanying a satirical/grotesque/accurate depiction of Rupert Murdoch  Lexis-Olivier Ray, Ariel Rucker, Lars Keseth & Ivan Ehlers sit at a table with microphones during an event inside a bookstore. Bookshelves fill the background, and a screen behind them displays an illustrated presentation slide.

They’ll care about the Cornell frat boys today, but they’ll forget — like they did about the others — scoff, and say, “Not all men,” before pointing at undocumented immigrants and Muslims to blame for the worst of them instead of addressing the real common denominator: men.

It’s so tiring that when women “inadequately” police our attire, behavior, the way & place we drink, we’re to blame for our rape and/or murder. even more, in order to be granted an oz of seriousness —if lucky— we’re required to describe any such experience with utmost precision.

Visiting home on the West Coast while working in news is scary because you’re three hours behind Washington DC in the morning. And apparently a lot can happen in merely three hours. Goodnight <3 don’t let the existential dread bite

If this GLP-1 craze has taught me anything it’s how many people look better a little chubby. Not everybody needs to be a size 2 with sunken eyes.

The idiocracy comparisons are uncanny. But seriously, if intelligent people don’t start taking one for the team and reproducing… this could be the smartest version of America today’s society and it’s successors will ever see.

My heart is absolutely aching since I’ve returned back home to LA this time around. Restaurants are closed. Bars are empty. Streets look abandoned. Signs are falling apart. The glistening, glamorous LA that once was is begging for support and I hope something can be done b4 it’s too late.

People that haven’t lived in brown immigrant communities don’t know that beyond crime rates, they’re dancing at the park, church outreach, being gifted free treats by your local cafe because they see your face so often & the warm hug of a family member after being away for some time.

A major reason current geopolitical discussions in the US are so inflammatory is a complete lack of cultural understanding from both sides. Because, newsflash: our politics often look and sound very different from those abroad. TLDR Our western judgment isnt always appreciated the way we think it is

The 800-acre Harris Feeding Company lot, feeding up to 250,000 cows/year before sending them to the nearby slaughterhouse—the Harris Ranch Beef Company—which produces >200mill lbs of beef/yr. And if you don’t mind the smell of cow dung and death, visit the luxury Harris Ranch Resort & stay a while!

stop giving attention to this woman simulator. Each time I see it make an appearance, I want to explode because why is CNBC basically playing that ‘90s game “Girlfriend Tracy” live on air & calling it an interview?? Also nobody cares because it’s so inconsequential atp & therefore simply boring

Shortly after Trump announced a ban on CNN, MSNOW and Politico from the White House, he told reporters: “Oh the ban on the free press, right? A very simple ban. I don’t want them in my office, I don’t want them here. I would say the ban would go as far as you can.”

I just ran into my 10th grade sociology teacher at the pharmacy. To my surprise, she remembered me. She was with her adult son, who has down syndrome. During our semester together, she lost her husband to cancer. She asked for a hug & told me about their upcoming Cabo travel plans. Sweet moment <3

About 2 yrs ago my bf, was w an old friend who works in construction when said friend pulls his phone out to show something on IG. And to my bf’s utter shock, a post from a woman: busty in minimal clothes — a total beacon of desire… complete with a massive penis bulging in her underwear.

Those who debate that “crime=bad” or “fair sports=good sports” must understand that unfortunately they’re the idiot because no matter how many times Fox News says it, nobody is arguing the latter.

“The people saying, ‘Tell me exactly how Charlie Kirk was racist. Tell me exactly how XYZ was anti-black. How is not wanting illegals to have healthcare racist?’ That is the 60% of Americans who read at or below a 6th grade level.” Literacy is reading AND comprehension www.tiktok.com/t/ZP83CUdLV/

In its motion to dismiss the case, the DOJ directly said what many Trump nominees have refused to say themselves: “Trump was elected president in 2016 and 2024,” the motion said. “In 2020, Joe Biden was elected president.”

People are anxious about AI. Communities are being attacked by AI. the people building AI are terrified of AI Had this tech simply came during a rational administration willing to regulate it, perhaps we’d collaborate with China instead of racing them to possibly destroy the world

I like how this looks like a movie about three girls in their 20s who just don't get along but all have to live together after their grandmother leaves them her rambling mansion in her will, with Sarah McLachlan as their kooky aunt who's also the mayor.
Rolling Stone cover picturing Chappell Roan (in pale white porcelain doll makeup), leaning her head on Olivia Rodrigo's shoulder, with Doechii leaning over Olivia's other shoulder. Olivia has a daisy in her mouth. Sarah McLachlan is leaning over them like she's descending from orbit. Headline "How Daisy Chain Made History: Inside Olivia Rodrigo's fun-filled, fundraising festival"
