She needs to be punished, not just impeached and/or let go. Punitive damages.

The reactionary centrist logic is simple: if the left does something bad it’s the left’s fault, and if the right does something bad, it’s also the left’s fault for making them do it. It’s a simple formula and once you see it every one of their arguments is the same

Samuel Alito flew two flags used by insurrectionists.

Clarence Thomas' wife plotted to overturn the 2020 election.

Both justices refused to recuse themselves from SCOTUS cases related to the January 6th plot.

It's a stain on our nation that this has effectively been forgotten.

I do this more because I lack shelf space (I donate books to my local library; they sell them for a buck)

Cuomo sounds increasingly desperate and undignified. After this election loss, I hope we never hear from him again.

Netflix just gave Gavin Newsom 2 million for the redistricting fight and made a deal with Sesame Street. New episodes will air there and the backlog of old episodes will Be free to watch.

Netflix picked a side. I will keep my subscription.

Anish Kapoor Greenpeace Collab Sends Generic Environmental Message Does it add anything to the conversation?

Anish Kapoor’s Greenpeace splash was just ok imo, so I whipped this out.

These posters do the most damage. They have fewer than a dozen posts, but leave mean, harassing, or intimidating comments all the time. Respectable outfits wouldn't allow anonymous accounts to leave comments.

L'Evenement is not the kind of paper his father (a banker) would have read. The painter likely made the choice to change the title of the paper to favor his friend Zola, who wrote for l'Evenement.

Ben Franklin on inoculation, after his son died from smallpox.

β€œIn 1736, I lost one of my sons, a fine boy of four years old, by the small-pox, taken in the common way. I long regretted bitterly, and still regret that I had not given it to him by inoculation”.
