'Paradise Lost' is a sprawling artwork defying description. You just have to see it. Visit the institute to see Caillebotte show but expect a surprise on your way: Raqib Shaw's 100-foot-long life's work. Like Michelangelo's Sistine Cha

Rasmus Jarlov on Twitter writes: "There is nothing to celebrate. Moving from average tariffs of less than 2% on trade between the USA and Europe to 15% under today’s deal will inevitably lead to inflation. Almost everything will become more expensive in both Europe and the USA, and we will all be worse off. The economic illiteracy in the White House is doing serious damage to the West."

Stylish Skunk replies: "I have a feeling you have 0 idea what you're talking about.

In fact I know you do."

Rasmus Jarlov responds: "Of course. I am former minister of trade in Denmark and you are an anonymous Twitter profile. You probably know a lot more than me. For sure."

What if it were possible for a state to ban ALL book bans?

Rhode Island did just that.

Why Are Federal Agents Wearing Masks? It’s a Threat to American Democracy Masked Federal Agents Are Undermining Trustβ€”and Democracy

If you need a mask to enforce the law, you don’t deserve a badge.
Federal agents are snatching people off the streetsβ€”faces covered, names hidden.
This isn’t safety. It’s secrecy.
It’s not America.

Gonna say something obvious to most: real masculinity defends the defenseless, punches up not down, has compassion, and fights only on behalf of others to battle injustice or evil.

It doesn’t just lift weights and tweet in all caps and listen to Rogan and grow a beard to feel accepted by other men

I often see people defend their Conferate flag by claiming it's simply part of their heritage. This is a Union flag from 1864. Part of our heritage is kicking racist ass.
