I really did not have “Kathy Hochul understands this political moment better than almost anyone else in the Democratic Party” on my bingo card but here we are

the democrats not having a single idea how to play the world's biggest and most suggestible egomaniac is yet another reason they belong on the scrap heap of history

Former president of Brazil, Jair Bolsonaro, has been under house arrest for plotting a coup and assassinations of the president, vice president and chief justice.

He used a soldering iron on his ankle monitor and lied about that. Burn marks on its circumference betrayed him.

Now, he's in custody.

If you think about Israel as an American Ulster in the Middle East suddenly the direction of influence and power actually makes sense and you stop doing antisemitism and start doing anti-Zionism

Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

Turned off the Gmail AI bullshit, which eliminates the Promotions/Social/Primary tags BUT if I search "promotion" I get all the promotion emails to delete anyway, so whatever

Of course you can still, very rightly, hate Castro. But Rafael Cruz, by his own telling, was a youthful Castro supporter who'd been arrested by Batista's regime, and then left for the US before Castro came to power. Not as part of the later wave of anti-Castro Cuban exiles.

He often fudges this, but Cruz's father didn't flee Castro, he fled Batista.

I bet the only reason Jeff Bezoes isn't on the flight logs is because he took his own jet

"If you think about it, Lebanese shepherds would have made great cowboys at that time."

Amazon is taking the position here that the acts of perplexity users are perplexity's responsibility. It will be interesting to see if they maintain this as a consistent position.

Harmonia Rosales Remixes the African Diasporic Pantheon “I decided to write how the Greeks wrote, as if Yorubaland were the whole world,” the artist told Hyperallergic in an interview about her new book.

How do you start creating a world? It’s a question Los Angeles-based artist Harmonia Rosales had to ask herself while crafting “Chronicles of Ori: An African Epic” (2025), a superbly fantastical book.

Without breaking confidences, many of them noted how deeply this affected their lives -- driving them out of chosen fields of study, or just traumatizing them as they continued to navigate a male-dominated world, and their own relationships. Even if they escaped the worst, a psychic meat grinder.,

Some gay male classmates reported similar harassment from gay professors. One or two women reported harassment from female teachers. But man -- I simply cannot believe -- and am ashamed I did not know at the time -- what my friends and classmates were enduring.

Stories of being harassed, propositioned, stalked, and of course punished, discouraged, ignored when such entreaties were refused. Complaining and being met with shrugs. One ran into the wife of the professor obsessed with her and the wife said, "Oh, you're THAT [name.]" as if she was the temptress.

In honor of Larry Summers, I asked the female members of my college class (1987) to say if they had any experiences with sexual harassment by teachers/professors, back when this was tolerated as, I dunno, the cost of attending college, and OH MY GOD.

The more Lizza writes the more he indicts himself in serious ethical lapses but there are a lot of editors and publishers who are complicit here, too.

The whole thing is just gross.

(And shout out to the serious journalists who do good work. You deserve better peers and a healthier industry.)

when I was in law school everyone knew that joining the federalist society was like getting tsa precheck for a clerkship

i will never forgive the universe for bestowing me these dumbasses for my enemies

lol the organizers asked if someone spoke spanish, i cluelessly volunteered, and i get pulled aside by a grandpa who is on a giant tiktok livestream of blue wave resistors who are doing daily updates about politics… while practicing Spanish? So I did a big shout out for the food drive in Spanish???

it's really hard to explain how much contempt I have for everyone involved in this story including Lizza and Mark Giuducci

decades of watching incredible women reporters be accused of this kind of bullshit while they struggle to get recognition for amazing work meanwhile this hack was actually doing it and being called a generational writing talent for it

once again I am cursed with literacy

This inspired me

Of all the websites to get mad about bad piss kink poetry? Really? I expect better of you.
