Theroux makes a good point about how manosphere bros think they broke out of the matrix but they just created their own version in which young men/boys are sold a fantasy world that is almost unobtainable except via extreme grift.

My main takeaway from watching Louis Theroux’s manosphere doc: is it too late to turn off the internet?

Sen. Kennedy took issue with this post below. Since our exchange, I have been inundated with unhinged emails and voicemails, including this one: deranged, violent hostility. But over the last decade, I've gotten used to these responses from nativists.

I saw the Smithsonian version, which is very cool, but I thought it seemed a bit small. As mentioned in this story, it is not the original one, sadly.

The federal government isn't supposed to detain immigrant children for longer than 20 days.

But when a Russian asylum seeker with 5-year-old twins asked why they'd been held for longer, an ICE officer falsely claimed the 20-day rule had been voided.

Says who? he asked.

"Trump," ICE responded.

In search of Banksy, Reuters found the artist took on a new identity Anonymity has become part of a lucrative brand for the artist Banksy, but records we unearthed prove his true identity and show the new name he used to travel to Ukraine.

9th Circuit rejects a challenge by owners of Korean spas over refusal to allow preoperative transgender women, prompting Trump-appointed dissenter to launch a screed about "swinging dicks" that itself leads to a harsh rebuke.

All is not well in the judiciary.

An appeals court upholds a jury verdict against a U.S. contractor over the abuse at Abu Ghraib, saying such a claim could be brought under the Alien Tort Statute in part because Iraq was effectively part of U.S. territory at the time:

Kind of an amazing statement considering Palantir was founded in 2003 just as the forever war industry was heating up.

Laura Ingraham: Averting the unthinkable YouTube video by Fox News Clips

Watch this Fox News video to see how history is being rewritten in realtime to make it seem like Trump's war on Iran is somehow aimed at preventing the Iranians from blocking the Straits of Hormuz, rather than causing it.
