Or why they think it’s worth staying there on the off-chance that some critical ideas find his favor or escape his notice. You’re not doing good work by trying to be a voice of reason on X, you’re simply propping up bad actors.

Swastika No Longer Hate Symbol Under New U.S. Coast Guard Policy: Report

Attacks on diversity, equity, and inclusion are the canary in the coal mine.

Now, the U.S. Coast Guard no longer considers swastikas, nooses, or the confederate flag symbols of hate.

This is indefensible.

For the first time in my career, I can’t tell people to trust what the CDC website says. And that is an incredibly sad and devastating place for this country to be.

It is so motivating and inspiring to see genuinely creative and talented people succeed in what they do unless they are more than 20 years younger than me in which case I am simply filled with rage

Archaeologist here. For 99.5% of human history (ca 300-400,000 years), we were peaceful (no war). There was conflict and smaller scale violence, but countless studies on the 119 known modern hunter gatherer groups show cooperation, negotiation, and peace instead of conflict. Please read books.

Oh, look! The canary is dead. I wonder what that means for the rest of the coal mine.

was just reading in an obit about how James Watson broke off a relationship with a mentee because she criticized Summers for saying women couldn't do science.

Ever since someone on here brought up the fact that the media literally just interviews rich people to get their thoughts on random shit, even though there’s absolutely no need to do that, it’s all that I can see everywhere

Never forget that just a week ago, Ross Douthat and the NYTimes were asking if women ruined the workplace.

Expect to see the Epstein files with 100s of words crudely whited out and with β€œVenezuela” typed on top in a different font.

those of us laid off from Teen Vogue were really fortunate to complete our fundraising goal β€” the laid-off staffers at VIBE deserve the same support, as Black media outlets and journalists continue to be targeted and discriminated against in β€œausterity” measures

Most Minors Who Are Married Can't File for Divorce β€” Even if They Want To The final installment of Wedlocked, our series about child marriage in the U.S., explores divorce.

Child marriage is heinous, but one thing I never see brought up in those discussions is that if you are under 18, you cannot file for divorce. If you are under 18 and married to an adult, they are your legal guardian and make decisions for you. That is not a partnership.

Amazon announced 14,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $40M last year.

UPS announced 48,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $24M last year.

Intel announced 20,000 layoffs. Its new CEO's pay package is valued at nearly $69M.

This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

I am begging America to not be stupid enough to embrace a racist and an antisemite because Donald Trump thinks she's a meanie. Just grab some popcorn and watch the Nazis fight.

An anti-abortion protester has shot someone outside of a South Carolina Planned Parenthood.

My source says one person was injured and taken to the hospitalβ€”and that the protester was arrested.

More soon.

Why do bash "dead-beat" dads for not being there for their kids but we never question if the child has bad vibes? Or if they're just unpleasant to be around?

So I guess the idea is that Ghislaine Maxwell got transferred to a country club prison that someone with her sentence would never go to and gets all sorts of perks but that’s completely coincidental, that just happened unrelatedly

Here’s the thing about healthcare premiums about to skyrocket: they will never come back down, short of a complete overhaul of our system for universal healthcare. Which clearly won’t happen bc of all the money tied up between health and politics.
