BuzzFeed made a pivot to AI that was stupid, shortsighted and ill-conceived, and you’ll never BELIEVE what happened next

Out of 10 men , one makes a sexual joke at a woman, two laugh, three fake a chuckle to fit in, and four stay silent.  None of them speak up. Later, none of them still believe they're the "good guys." But from the woman's perspective , the laughter, the silence , the looking away, it all creates the same environment. So when women say "most men are the same," this is what they mean: not that every man harassed women, but that most men helpmprotect the system that does.

Posted by a friend on Instagram.

Yea, I see the resemblance to the other nine men. Taking it in seriously.

During #WomensHistoryMonth, I can personally reflect on this, and feel amazed at how women have made history despite this built in disadvantage.

Backwards, in heels, and harassed.

Scream 7 (good movie, totally watch it) and RE9 both came out on 2/27 and it's a hilarious coincidence that both deal with Trauma and Mother Daughter Relationships, as well as Nostalgia for the 90s era installments of their series.

Jeffries: "The American people want us to focus on making their life better & more affordable, not getting involved in another endless war in Middle East that's going to end in failure. This administration somehow found billions for bombs, but can't find money to bring down the high cost of living"

Assad was also propped up by Russia, which was significantly distracted by the Ukraine War. The Syrian Rebels were mostly defectors from the Syrian Army. Something similar could happen in Iran (which was and is also backed by Russia).

Well, we never armed the Syrian Rebels lol. Obama and Co. Limited their support to "nonlethal aid". Plenty of Regimes have been overthrown with nonviolence (See Taiwan, South Korea, Philippines, fall of Berlin Wall).

Trump's decapitation could very well be that, but only time will tell.

I dunno. "Regime change" did work in the past, see Germany and Japan. But that was accompanied by an Occupation and Leniency/clemency towards Perpetrators to get the ball rolling. Best case scenario is that with the fall of the Regime the People can fill the vacuum, see Assad and Syria.

I just saw this article, which highlights just one small facet of how complex this situation can be for the Iranian people

None of this is hypothetical to them, it’s all very real

Anyways, everyone watch It Was Just An Accident, a terrific and increasingly timely film

I'm going to attend an important conference to share history and I was afraid to be Political, but now I understand that History is "political", especially the important stuff I'll be tackling.

I like to think that Resident Evil Revelations 1 and 2 laid the foundation for the Modern Resident Evil, gameplay and narrative wise. I dig how requiem seems to follow the episodic style of Revelations 1. Fantastic.

Great game so far. I remember what my Mentor taught me about FBI agents needing to be smart but that's not stopping me from enjoying some classic Resident Evil.

February 27 is the anniversary of the London Debt Agreement. Not only did the West forgive half of all German debt, but the London Debt Agreement also absolved Germany of Reparations for the Survivors of the Holocaust. Remember that no one is "hijacking" or "weaponizing" the Holocaust. #Historian

I would have hoped by now that some dude would have written an op Ed about how straight women’s reaction to Bad Bunny - a man at peace with himself, emoting publicly + queer culture - underscores that the Manosphere bros are performing heterosexuality for other men and have no idea what women like.

A photo of Robert and Luciana Duvall with a horse and dogs STATEMENT FROM LUCIANA DUVALL

Yesterday we said goodbye to my beloved husband, cherished friend, and one of the greatest actors of our time. Bob passed away peacefully at home, surrounded by love and comfort.

To the world, he was an Academy Award-winning actor, a director, a storyteller. To me, he was simply everything. His passion for his craft was matched only by his deep love for characters, a great meal, and holding court. For each of his many roles, Bob gave everything to his characters and to the truth of the human spirit they represented. In doing so, he leaves something lasting and unforgettable to us all. Thank you for the years of support you showed Bob and for giving us this time and privacy to celebrate the memories he leaves behind.

Robert Duvall, the legendary actor whose career has spanned over six decades, has died at 95, his wife announced

I’ve spent years of my life trying to explain to people that anti-trans conservatism naturally flows from their belief that children in the American nuclear family are not individuals with autonomy, but instead property of the parents and state, and this guy just… tweeted it out

The SAVE Act would require Americans to show a passport or birth certificate in person just to register to vote.

Millions of Americans don’t have access to these documents. This is voter suppression, plain and simple.

Call your senators to urge them to vote no: (202) 224-3121

To be very clear, that lady in the NYT article is not making any money with her hundreds of AI slop books.

She makes money by *convincing people* she makes money that way and getting them to pay her to teach them how to do it.

It's an evolved MLM, and the NYT is helping market it.
