Mexico’s President Presses Charges Against Man Who Groped Her on the Street

Brava: β€œIf I don’t file a complaint, then what message does that send to all Mexican women?” Ms. Sheinbaum said at her daily news conference, noting sexual harassment was a crime… β€œIf this can happen to the president, what’s going to happen to all the young women & women across our country?”

GIVE ME AWAY Season 3 Episode 8, "You Have Ten Months" (written by me), is live now wherever you get your podcasts. Our hybrid heroes face their deadliest challenge yet: working a regular job. I'm being glib, but that is part of it. The point is it rips, and you should listen to it.

Of the two boys with smallpox, the one who had been vaccinated has very few pox while the other is horribly disfigured.

there are many things I love about the newest season of a show I’ve loved since ep 1 but this little side adventure for Talia + Noa/Jade has to be one of my favorite scenes I’ve ever recorded. a refreshing breath in a season that absolutely grabs you by the throat and doesn’t let go (complimentary)

Why didn’t some of the Epstein survivors speak out earlier? β€œI thought someone was going to kill me,” one explained.

As another asked, β€œWhy did the government work so hard to protect Jeffrey Epstein and not victims like me?”

one of my absolute favorite audio dramas is back! Give Me Away premiered their third season and yes, okay, I'm biased because I'm in it, but to be clear, I was all in even before I got the amazing opportunity to act in this awesome, inventive world. and you are NOT prepared for the twists coming up

Would I free a Ghosthouse prisoner? Would you? Could I handle the responsibility? Could I be responsible for leaving them there? Give Me Away's premise really exercises my brain, my self-awareness, and my empathy. There's not much more I can ask of a piece of fiction.

Big sci-fi concepts and questions that make you think, explored by characters who make you facepalm, tear your hair out, bite your nails and occasionally punch the air. Jump in now if you haven't so far.

Side note: Red Camp could fix Arthur Lester.

Tennessee’s law expressly classifies on the basis of sex
and transgender status, so the Constitution and settled
precedent require the Court to subject it to intermediate
scrutiny. The majority contorts logic and precedent to say
otherwise, inexplicably declaring it must uphold Tennessee’s categorical ban on lifesaving medical treatment so
long as β€œβ€˜any reasonably conceivable state of facts’” might
justify it. Ante, at 21. Thus, the majority subjects a law
that plainly discriminates on the basis of sex to mere rational-basis review. By retreating from meaningful judicial
review exactly where it matters most, the Court abandons
transgender children and their families to political whims.
In sadness, I dissent.

Justice Sotomayor's dissent in Skrmetti (which she's now reading from the bench) is deeply pained, accusing her colleagues of abandoning "transgender children and their families to political whims" and badly damaging "bedrock" principles of equal protection. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24p...

Sotomayor: "What the Court once recognized as an imperative check against discrimination, it today abandons...it does irrevocable damage to the Equal Protection Clause and invites legislatures to engage in discrimination by hiding blatant sex classifications in plain sight."

Unironically they should buy up the domains for about 60 defunct local newspapers in swing states. Hire two reporters to write almost exclusively about highschool sports and new restaurants opening with every 10th article about how the local GOP is screwing over people.

Rep. Laurel Libby, R-Auburn, recently used my second-place finish in the 1,600-meter run, and that of my teammate in the 800-meter run, to malign Soren Stark-Chessa, the trans-identified athlete who finished first.

One of the reasons I chose to run cross-country and track is the community: Teammates cheering each other on, athletes from different schools coming together, and the fact that personal improvement is valued as much as, if not more than, the place we finish.

Last Friday, I ran the fastest 1,600-meter race I have ever run in middle school or high school track and earned varsity status by my school’s standards. I am extremely proud of the effort I put into the race and the time that I achieved. The fact that someone else finished in front of me didn’t diminish the happiness I felt after finishing that race. I don’t feel like first place was taken from me. Instead, I feel like a happy day was turned ugly by a bully who is using children to make political points.

We are all just kids trying to make our way through high school. Participating in sports is the highlight of high school for some kids. No one was harmed by Soren’s participation in the girls’ track meet, but we are all harmed by the hateful rhetoric of bullies, like Rep. Libby, who want to take sports away from some kids just because of who they are.

How Well Is Congestion Pricing Doing? Very. One hundred days in, honking is down; bus speeds are up.

Some stats from 100 days in on congestion pricing:
- Complaints about car-honking are down 70%
- The Holland Tunnel has 65% fewer delays at rush hour; time to get thru it is down 48%
- 6 million fewer cars
- Half as many traffic-related injuries
- 1.5 million more visitors to BIDs year over year

Reminders:

"Concentration camps" aren't the same as "extermination camps." Both were/are horrific.

Most Nazi camps were *outside Germany*, away from the eyes of German citizens.

Those trains? Were to, uh, deport the category of people whose lives were deemed unimportant.

Never again is now.
