I found the abuse of these young girls who put so much into the show really traumatizing, esp when the producers were making them feel they were fat or when they did those horrible "makeovers" to make fun of them.

And the premise of creating these "stories" about the contestants that had no relationship to reality was deeply abusive. As it turns out--podcast gave more detail than the documentary--very few got modeling jobs bc of all the stunts they were force to do. It was considered a joke.

I listened to the podcast documentary before this documentary came out. The woman who did the podcast is featured in the doc; I don't know if her work is what created the basis of the film version. All I know is that Tyra Banks is indeed a psycho.

They should start with core values and , yes, drive polls. A diverse country that welcomes immigrants is a strong country.

Turns out that when one party demonizes immigrants for years, while moving to end all immigration, and the other party campaigns on, "well, actually, our colleagues across the aisle make some very good points," people start to believe it.

This is why leaders should drive polls, not follow them.

We have so lost sight of the fact that there are some things far more important than just "more money." We don't even value human lives anymore. Kudos to this man.

Crews recover bodies of 9 backcountry skiers days after California avalanche Authorities said Saturday that crews recovered the bodies of nine backcountry skiers who were killed in a California avalanche four days ago.

Heartbroken for these families. And, once again, so grateful for first responders who put their lives on the line to rescue others.

At @handsoffnyc.bsky.social events all across NYC today, people mobilized to protect immigrant neighborsβ€”like this one at Usuluteco, a Salvadoran restaurant in Sunset Park where the cover charge went to help fund legal support for detained families.

Can also confirm: the food was delicious.

500 billion extra dollars to the US military budget won't save the US Navy if sailors and officers feel so badly treated that they leave the service in droves even as recruitment becomes increasingly difficult

This MAGA chud who also draws a paycheck as the local Police Chief shows up to a peaceful protest in plainclothes, puts this teenager in a choke hold then gets the shit absolutely beaten out of him by a bunch of teenagers, mostly girls. You really do love to see it.

Both dogs have great profiles/notes and are just looking for a family that will love them.

If you would love to adopt/foster a gorgeous 1yr old Black Lab, Boston is out of time. There are SO MANY dogs abandoned in SoCal we try to find forever homes wherever those may be. I know the person handling Boston and the next dog. I can help connect.

I mean... are they surprised? Both Israel and the Trump regime have made this clear for a while.

Yes. This is part of my point unstated. It says something if they are afraid to call the police to protect them as citizens and caretakers of children. Its a permission structure for harassment and violence that my kids would never have faced.

House passes bill banning β€˜leftist indoctrination’ and LGBTQ+ teaching in public schools β€’ New Hampshire Bulletin New Hampshire House Republicans are moving forward with a new attempt to regulate teaching on race, history, and LGTBQ+ issues in public schools. On Thursday, the chamber passed a bill that would ban ...

NH state house passes "CHARLIE Act," which bans teaching, I kid you not, "critical consciousness" & "prohibited world-views," such as that queer people exist, or that slavery involved race, or, implicitly, that the Nazis murdered Jews based on identity. newhampshirebulletin.com/2026/02/19/h...
