"I could be a mentor to this very sharp person but as they aren't interested in me romantically I'm going to have to cut off all communication with them."

"Also, only men get the best mentors like me who can help them get into top journals. Clearly that's because men have higher IQ than women."

Overview map of the peopling of the world by early humans during the Upper Paleolithic, following the Southern Dispersal paradigm.

Look, for fuck’s sake, humans have been migrating continuously for our entire existence.

Every single human in the world is the product of migration.

It’s what humans do. There is nothing *more* human.

That’s never going to change.

Just grow up, get the fuck over it and plan accordingly.

Calvin Duncan, a former prisoner who was wrongly incarcerated for nearly 30 years, wins Orleans clerk of court race

He ran as someone who struggled for years to retrieve his own case records in his bid to prove his innocence

It's the same party. Stop pretending the Democrats and the Republicans are two different entities. They are both the system that runs the U.S. and it's a system that upholds white supremacy and corporate greed. Some of you are truly too smart to not get this and I'm starting to question your motive.

these epstein emails are pretty damning. i sure hope that we haven't spent the last couple years in a cultural backslide where men are seemingly allowed to openly and gleefully fantasize about dominating young women without any threat of reproach

I'm a woman and I think cunt is an absolutely apt description for that lying piece of garbage. Not sure why 'dick head' isn't as offensive to you.

Table showing the five richest men in the U.S from Bloombergs billionaire list ., all in technology. Elon Musk tops the list with a net worth of $461B and a year-to-date gain of $28.2B. Larry Ellison is second at $300B with a $107B YTD gain. Jeff Bezos has $268B (+$29.5B YTD), Larry Page $250B (+$81.9B YTD), and Sergey Brin $234B (+$75.5B YTD). Each row also lists last-day change, country (all United States), and industry (all Technology).

Kind of wild that while food assistance was withheld from millions of families, one Trump-supporting billionaire (Ellison) saw his net worth grow more this year than the entire SNAP budget. And the YTD gains of the other four richest men would’ve fully covered salaries for all 2M federal employees.

Aw, it's the best thing and I'm obsessed.

I do not think we need a strong child-molesting party

this is literally never not accurate

Watson is like so many "tech bros" who have come after - believing their intelligence is a mark of genetic superiority and cruelty toward others is warranted because they are "genetically inferior." E.g. Musk believes he should be a trillionaire b/c poor people are dumb & don't deserve anything.

It's an artistic representation of a circulatory system walking through a kitchen, as drawn by Dave Gibbons and written about by Alan Moore. It happens a lot 'round here.

Happy There Is A Circulatory System Walking Through The Kitchen Day to all who celebrate.

Nuremburg trials is the moderate position

Are you sure that poisoning the entire Earth is the right move? Of course. Nothing is real except money.

Good thread, and I will add that men DO NOT LIKE IT when women say "hey, you fucked up," and to the extent that women tend to soften the blow with indirectness, it's because men feel like their honor is insulted if they have to take feedback from women.

Gorsuch at SCOTUS tariff hearing today: “ JUSTICE GORSUCH: “Yeah. So Congress, as a practical matter, can't get this power back once it's handed it over to the President. It's a one-way ratchet toward the gradual but continual accretion of power in the executive branch and away from the people's elected representatives.”

Yep that’s what we’ve been telling you all, you shameless asshole.

Reminded of Gisèle Pelicot in France asserting "shame must change sides."

Paul Reiser and Sigourney Weaver in Aliens

Chuck Schumer is the Paul Reiser in Aliens of the Democratic Party. Listen, motherfucker, I don’t give a shit what helps the Weyland Yutani Corporation, these fucking monsters are going to eat us. You need to get off your ass or you have to go.

Who ever could have seen this coming? Other than all those people who have been saying it since day one?

If you don't want people to speak ill of you when you die, then don't architect a war that killed millions of Brown people under false pretenses, profit off of said war through your ties to Haliburton, promote torture, radically expand executive power, and shoot your friend in the face while hunting.

Don't make me tap the sign

They'd have to, cause you need to test the point blank rangeness of your sandwich before you hit up the judge with your 'Not Guilty' unanimous decision.
