The craziest fucking thing to me about the Epstein emails is that apparently an English professor friend of his (and wife to former president of Harvard) made a book recommendation to him. And the book was goddamn Lolita.

This sucks, I love Piss Christ.

Moral neutrality is a tool of the status quo

In the situation room?

My greatest goal as a parent is to make sure I've done everything I can to prevent my kid from growing up to be an asshole. I can't imagine not caring about my child's personality.

Shit, I'm nobody and sometimes I feel like I'm getting near that number just in porn bots trying to sell me shit.

Running against Dr Oz

We really need to get rid of the presidential pardon.

My jaw dropped when I read that he said his job was "to keep the left pro-Israel". If any gentile had said that about him, we would have (RIGHTLY) been accused of antisemitism. The other week I thought maybe I had imagined it and that I needed to seriously rethink my media consumption.

Request for clarification: do you think it is still okay to block leninists/stalinists who refuse to acknowledge any of the flaws of the Bolsheviks?

James Watson, dead at 97, was a scientific legend and a pariah among his peers James Watson, the co-discoverer of the structure of DNA who died Thursday at 97, was a scientific legend and a pariah among his peers.

A Sharon Begley byline, almost 5 years after her death.

Upon hearing the news James Watson had died, a STAT reporter said in our Slack, "I wish I could read what Sharon would have written."

Incredible news: Sharon in fact did pre-write a Watson obit. And it is masterful and excoriating.

I don't know if I love the shows more or if I like just looking at your career and seeing things turn out so well for a millennial artist.

If you can remember once a week, pull planets are great for knowing if you took them today.

Rep. Yassamin Ansari has set up a table and this sign outside Speaker Johnson’s office.

No matter how hard people try to convince us having empathy is wrong,

it is right.

No matter how hard people try to convince us that diversity is a weakness,

it is a strength.

No matter how hard people try to convince us that love is limited,

it is unlimited.

If you’re wondering what the future of the Democratic Party looks like, watch the young, brown democratic socialist on the TV right now.

Who is going to remind Alan Dershowitz of his promise

would really like one Democratic senator or house member to go in front of a microphone and say that Schumer has embraced Islamophobic bigotry, has failed the party, and should resign.

I've never been to NY, but am I wrong in thinking it's weird for the US president, a Republican from NYC, to endorse the Indy/former dem candidate for NYC Mayor when his own party has a candidate?

Also, fuck Schumer.

Clinton is saying that the only way you could be disillusioned with Israel's treatment of Palestinians is if you are brain poisoned by communist propaganda. that's a lie! it's not true! it is itself propaganda!

I had thought most of my naive idealism had been stomped out of me by now, but it’s amazing to me that this level of public animosity could be directed by Democratic leadership toward a sweet and personable young candidate of their own party seemingly exclusively because of his background.

for the record I was wrong. fuck schumer, impossible to read this as anything but pathetic boomer racism.

VP Cheney will be honoured with a 21 gun salute accidentally aimed directly at 21 of his friends

A) I didn't cite the CIA
B) The CIA was not founded solely by Nazis, it was founded by our own homegrown fascist trash who recruited Nazis (and Japanese war criminals) they spared from justice. Nuance matters.

I'm not talking about what they did to the Nazis. I have no sympathy for them. I'm talking about the indiscriminate violence they did to the civilian population. Are you saying that you think collective punishment is acceptable?

I mean, even if it were true though, those sites have insurance.

Uh oh. You've said something critical about Stalin. You must be a fascist.
Or an anarchist
Or a democratic socialist
Or a Menshevik
Or his third wife
Or a Ukranian

A) I never said anything defending Hitler.
B) the looting isn't the problem, it's the sex crimes and the murder.

If Democrats brush off a Nazi tattoo as an innocent mistake, they're abandoning the ability to make effective arguments against Nazis across the aisle. It'd be an unforced error that would taint the party for generations, and rightly so.
