so my big takeaway that i haven't seen other people talking about regarding this is: what other documents are Actually Not Redacted?

facts over feelings, except when their my feelings

some people (men) trying to re-categorize CSA as a class indicator / type of conspicuous consumption in the same vein as wearing luxury brands and lots of jewelry probably doesn't bode well for us as a species

BGTOW

every time a new one of these comes to light, it's getting more difficult not to believe that marriage is simply granting a man way too much access to you

and Republicans will continue to lecture everyone else for not supporting the troops enough

It’s much easier to find a job or treat a drug addiction when your basic needs like food and shelter are being met. That’s why “Housing First” policies are so important. These cuts will force more people onto the streets. They will increase suffering. They will increase job insecurity.

The government failed at actually redacting the Epstein files because DOGE cancelled the feds adobe acrobat premium subscription is the funniest shit.

A lotta people gonna be like "why didnt Biden release this info?!?" It's an understandable response but you gotta get thru that comforting outrage response to insist: same reason they didn't prosecute the man in a quick or effective manner. They didnt want to.

was Krampus deported to Germany or wtf does this mean?

the quickest way to prevent this sort of tomfoolery is to stop recognizing adult converts

Oofa doofa

NO ONE WANTS TO GO TO SPACE TO WORK FOR BILLIONAIRES. ALIEN IS NOT ASPIRATIONAL.

guilt from a vestigial conscience flickering like a dying ember

“In ancient times cats were worshipped as gods; they have not forgotten this.” - Terry Pratchett

I think it’s important to insist on recalling, at all available opportunities, that this was specifically an attack on a trans instructor over an assignment about gender. Neither of those details are incidental; they are the center of the story

how about don't let this man interact with kids?

XLOV covering Sabrina Carpenter's A Nonsense Christmas is wild

There was a female prison nicknamed the rape club. It got closed (eventually) and the Trump administration is trying to reopen it as a migrant detention center I don't think I need to provide further details. It's all the same stink

this is why Hanlon's razor sucks, plenty of malicious people are also incredibly stupid

valuing repentance and "returning to Christ" over not being a predator in the first place is the problem. a repentant rapist is seen as a bigger win for god than a man who goes his entire life without hurting anyone. kinda undermines the entire argument for avoiding sin

its wild how every rapist and pedophile somehow magically finds jesus and becomes a devout and open follower of christ as soon as the allegations roll in, jesus can't be hiding inside the body cavities of their victims, but they sure act like he was

now watching

literally fuck anyone who doesn’t see at this point that it’s an organized nationwide effort to make trans people unemployable. every trans person they push out of public life is a win for them & a whole hell of a lot of cis people need to start stepping up and saying fuck off to freaks like this.

I don’t mean to sound extreme, but I don’t think we should have torture camps for people with criminal records either.

When I teaching the Holocaust I note the Holocaust museum’s definition of a concentration camp is a prison whose inmates are denied due process. These are by definition concentration camps.

genuinely, wtf is wrong with her?

gonna go out on a limb and say that Trump calling affordability a Democrat hoax was a signal that he was done pretending to care about it even as a talking point

Do you know whose perspective I would love to hear right now about Bari Weiss? Refaat Alareer’s. But we can’t. He’s dead. Every media person should ask her about him at every opportunity.

these are just perverts. they know the job is going to allow them access to vulnerable people they'll be able to abuse and get way with it

here's the 60 minutes cecot video part 1 of 5 - recorded/uploaded by and all credit to @jasonparis.bsky.social I just reduced background noise, chopped the 14 minutes into 3 minute segments each compressed under 100 mb for bsky's limits, cropped and rotated a few degrees for easier viewing on here

!! Here’s a link to full video of the 60 Minutes segment that Bari Weiss killed last minute, via @jasonparis.bsky.social: is.gd/paU8Ko (It was uploaded to the Global TV app in Canada, seemingly by accident, and has now been taken down)

they should probably be really angry at the guy that keeps threatening to annex Canada and instituted broadly sweeping tariffs, thereby tanking their market share

#USDA #USDAForestService #ForestService

the future is bleak

none of them are beating each other with canes anymore

This is what Bari Weiss et al think "censorship" actually is; when subordinates criticize their superiors. That has been the bedrock of the entire "cancel culture" discourse in elite media; rage at the idea that students, women, journalists, interns, etc might be able to speak against the boss.

at least when David Blaine was doing stupid shit like this, he was only torturing himself

When we say "no, everything hasn't been digitized," I need you to understand that we really mean is that virtually nothing has been digitized. This is because the realm of primary sources that historians use is incomprehensibly large.

because you're utterly failing to address a crisis in any meaningful way? you're too comfortable and therefore useless, so you need to be replaced

Fascist activist Bari Weiss, recruited to align CBS News with the goals of American Nazism, again heeds the instructions of her boss.

The rate of return here is crazy: for a few hundred thousand dollars, this lab produces literally billions of oysters and supports a seafood industry worth hundreds of millions. And the Trump administration is just like "fuck all that, it's wasteful spending, you're fired"

the people that fantasize about having robot servants just want slaves and they’re eventually going to remember that slaves are cheaper

Across the country, women are dying of sepsis, losing organs, being arrested for miscarriages, and used as brain-dead incubators. Corpses have more rights than women living under abortion bans. What better moment to run a full court cultural press about how freedom isn’t that great anyway?

sure wish we had a radical left

the main problem is the DOJ could release video footage of Trump assaulting a minor and it would be met with a chorus of "based" from one segment of his supporters and dismissed by other people claiming it was AI generated

astonished the debate topic wasn't the age of consent
