Notice how I didn't even talk about women in my comment?

What's with all the accusations?

Some men go to Asia to find a woman, because they know they have no chance with the women in their own country and need the language barrier and income gap to have a chance...

This is exactly right. The Onion quietly left Twitter a month ago and... our weekly subscribers went up. It's because we're doing well here, on Instagram and on YouTube.

As a business, being on Twitter is somewhere between useless or detrimental, unless you're selling boner pills.

This is immoral.

Trump officials gutted USAID and cut off food aid to refugees. Clinics closed. Warnings poured in and were ignored. Rations collapsed. Children starved to death.

👉🏾Agency staffers even celebrated the cuts with a sheet cake while lifesaving programs were being shut down.👈🏾

The fact that these people can't differentiate between the US' closest ally and the DPRK says way more about them than about Canada.

MP Jamil Jivani says Canadian officials having an 'anti-American hissy fit' over trade with the U.S. The Front Bench panel talks about the reaction to Conservative MP Jamil Jivani's comment that Canada is having an 'anti-American hissy fit' on trade.

Remember everyone it's Canada's tone that is ruining the bilateral relationship. www.ctvnews.ca/video/2026/0...

It's anti-American to not want high tariffs and the threat of being taken over by force? I highly question that. To be against this is in line with American ideals of having strong allies and open trade.

Many of us try to maximize life quality for humans, not money for just a few. That's the difference.

The U.S. spent $30 billion to ditch textbooks for laptops and tablets: The result is the first generation less cognitively capable than their parents | Fortune Neuroscientist Jared Cooney Horvath said older generations “screwed up” giving students access to so much technology: “I genuinely hope Gen Z quickly figures that out and gets mad.”

Now THAT's a headline.

Wikipedia blacklists Archive.today, starts removing 695,000 archive links If DDoSing a blog wasn't bad enough, archive site also tampered with web snapshots.

The headline does not convey how completely batshit this story is. The Archive Today (archive.ph etc) admin weaponized the site's captcha to attack a blogger who wrote about them and *altered archived screenshots* as part of the attack.

A man claims his grandmother in Colombia—a former housekeeper at Epstein’s Manhattan home—kept hidden memory cards, photos, and tapes when she was fired. He says it includes child abuse evidence, and both ABC and Fox refused to release it. If true, she may be holding what investigators searched for.

WA lawmakers propose cuts to services for children with disabilities The ESIT program provides services like speech and occupational therapy to thousands of Washington kids under 3 with developmental delays or disabilities.

This is not okay @wadems.org. My kid benefitted greatly from the ESIT program, likely preventing him needing more intensive services after he was 3yo. After 3yo, the burden falls on the public education system -- which is already overstressed AND UNDERFUNDED. www.seattletimes.com/education-la...

You would think a legislature looking to build the public trust needed to get voters on board with an income tax, even one just targeted to the rich, would avoid dumb mistakes that harm vulnerable kids.

You would be wrong. Another #waleg own goal:
