Kafka understood that an even greater indignity than being turned into a giant insect was still being required to go to work afterward.

The very first thing is that people need to look at the fact that for yearssssss Jews have been saying there is antisemitism on the left and for yearssssss we’ve been told that’s *impossible* and we’re lying.

Liver's cheap because there's low demand for it. If everyone started eating it, it would become expensive. And even if everyone loved it, it's only recommended that you eat it once a week, or you risk vitamin A toxicity. Would be nice if the secretary of HEALTH knew that!

No exaggeration, the vote split on this poll is hysterical.

She's running to replace Dick Durbin and, uh, to say this is a welcome change in tone and attitude would be a hell of an understatement.

I cannot imagine the pressure of skating competitively period much less at the Olympics but also has anyone explored the possibility that this specific ice rink is haunted?

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office It comes after Thames Valley Police said they were assessing a complaint over the alleged sharing of confidential material by the former prince with Jeffrey Epstein.

THEY ARRESTED HIM AT SANDRIGHAM (like yes I know that’s where he lives but that’s a Royal Place so for them to go get him THERE or at all honestly they must have their evidence locked down)

So when thousands of women (and children) were being duplicated--including in non-consensual AI porn--it was no big deal. But it took "only a 15-sec clip" of these two famous white men to draw outrage and fear. Gotcha. Cool cool.

The image is a meme with three panels, using a scene from a movie to humorously convey a conversation about prosecuting people associated with the Epstein files.
1. Top Panel: Shows two characters, with the left one facing the camera and the right one seen from behind. The text reads: "prosecute everyone in the Epstein files."
2. Middle Panel: Features a close-up of the right character facing the camera. The text states: "if we prosecute everyone in the Epstein files, the whole system will collapse."
3. Bottom Panel: The left character is in focus, looking at the right character, with the text: "I already said prosecute everyone in the Epstein files, you don't need to sell it to me."

There were some great Olympic moments! Sato Shun was in tears he was so happy! Shaidorov sitting all chill with his panda bear! No need to stay tight on a kid who just had a really awful few minutes (and we all know that program will follow him for 4 years, poor kid)

I did not know this and it’s important! Also I have many questions about this study that they commissioned and then BURIED because the only reason to do that is if it revealed that things were EVEN WORSE than what’s in the public arena now.

FOR REAL how much worse was it that they buried the study and came out with that milquetoast PR statement because it’s already really bad.

I also did not!

Reminds me of reading a timeline of Dior’s life that skips from, like, 1938 to 1945 and thinking β€œah yes, a time when famously nothing was happening in Paris.” It’s so gross that it’s often found in the ABSENCE of information.

I thought his music choice and costume were inspired (this is why I could never be a judge 3/4 of my score would be based on number of sparkles in any given dramatic gesture)

HIS EYES the way he just goggled at the score while the Kazakhstan contingent went bananas in the stands. His skate was so clean, I’m really happy for him.

And the Japanese skater who was SURE he wasn’t going to medal and then did? I wanted to hug them all.
