And given the volume of art by Black French people that is about racism in France, I suspect there may also be racism in France.

It’s not that Canada is “bad”, but we often compare ourselves to the very worst of the US, and rarely measures ourselves against the very best.

All one has to do is ask anyone of Algerian extraction if they think France is racist. I like to remind Europeans that we learned our racism from the brutal colonisers that came from their countries.

I assume this is what they affectionately refer to as gaslighting.

me: wait, I thought GPR was really expensive! can you just get ground-penetrating radar at rent-a-center now? or buy your own? because that sounds like a way better hobby than metal detecting, not even joking. I just checked and sadly, no 💔 still expensive, but stuff comes down in price ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Giving Patrick Bateman control of the US military was a mistake.

the thing about Bill Kristol is that he believed in everything he said and the reason he's a lib now is that he realized almost no one on his side felt the same

Wow. Sloan-Kettering needs to pay this woman all the money. I worked at a hospital 20 years ago, and we admitted trans patients under their gender & noted that they were amab/afab for medical purposes. Cis women who can’t get pregnant are given pregnancy tests in the ER and pre-op, weak sauce.

Ew, gross. I guess we’ll deal with free buses and a grocery store in a neighborhood we’ve never been to or heard of. “I had a client tell me once, ‘In order to move to Florida, I actually have to move to Florida, right?’” he said.

Scott Pruitt realizing he just didn't waste tax dollars flamboyantly enough in Trump 1.0.

Sleepy Don approves

Trump opposes democracy in America. Could he support it in Venezuela?

Someone should foia POTUS' internet search history for 'requirements to be president in venezuela'

hey if you use an abbot FreeStyle Libre 3 or FreeStyle Libre 3 Plus Sensor to monitor your blood glucose check if it's included in the recall! some have been giving dangerously low blood sugar numbers. they're replacing the monitors for free. spread the word www.freestylecheck.com/us-en/home.h...

confessions of a shopaholic is way better written. this is just the less-successful spin-off series confessions of bitch Alicia who changed her name to Olivia and became a political reporter clacking in her Pradas.

it's also about how trump is deeply weird and provincial. he has all that money, always has, and he's never been to the nation's capital. you know he's never been to a single Smithsonian Museum, and he's probably never been to The Met or the Museum of Natural History, other than for events.

Really getting to the bottom of all sorts of mysteries at the best funded news outlet in the country. First how did a Republican end up in a racist group chat, and now this.

I’m in favor of this but only for financial crimes

The man leaned toward the officer like wheatgrass in a blustery spring. His arms stretched downward, toward the soil, as if pulling at the firmament of the nation itself. Finally from his lips, a plaintive query: "What are thoooooose?"

Truly sorry to keep posting these but I cannot believe this book is real.

This one. youtu.be/Azb8sntxna4?...

Agreed completely, and also the narrative weight might be earned by demonstrating mastery, the old know-the-rules-to-break-them thing. Online howling about bad writing sometimes makes me wonder if anyone has ever read a book all the way through before, but the chatter about this one is dead on

Cool feature in iMessage: me combine a photo of me with this cartoon Output: these images are too similar The images:

Palantir’s stock price went up 120% this year.

Ilhan Omar’s district is 75% white, and if white people aren’t the majority, then so what? I have family who are white and family who aren’t white, and they are all my family. These people are so fragile.

the glory days of facebook meme pages was great because you could get content like this (this one was random quotes added to pictures of Christian leaders)

The resemblance is uncanny.

I can't sleep at night if I've put something out in the trash that I shouldn't have. How does someone function knowing they could have prevented babies dying?

ED nurse here I had the experience of dealing with an unvaccinated toddler with pertussis. He came in blue, cold and without respiration with his parents screaming ”Save Him”. Intubated sent to ICU. He didn’t die right away but most likely severe brain damage if he didn’t die.

That’s what I thought “political extremism” meant, and then they started talking about anarchism

I can't afford eggs, my kid has the whooping cough, and the data center down the road has caused my electricity bill to triple. But at least the mascot for my town's high-school football team is still a drunk guy dressed up as an American Indian.

Contrary to what some liberal critics say, John Roberts has kept his pledge to only call balls and strikes. He never promised that the strike zone would be the same for Democrats and Republicans.

Truly the Angel Hernandez of the judiciary.

The Calvinball Six led by John Roberts.

It's wrong to accuse Pete Hegseth of murder: those two Venezuelans had pre-existing health conditions. by Bret Stephens

Gad, that’s horrible. What is wrong with using colored pencil, water color, torn paper, or other media? For a mind cleanse, read this Nov post about Astrid Lindgren & Tove Jansson and how both women changed Scandinavian children’s lit. www.moomin.com/en/blog/tove...

I've been slowly downsizing my adobe subscriptions because of the company's double-down on AI. I only had the base photography plan left, but this has convinced me to cut ties with this company for good. Thank you for sharing.

Strippy Longstocking

Lordy. I’ve been thinking about this a lot lately, especially since reading about the AI charter school in Virginia, which is mostly independent study, but it also includes elementary aged students, and iirc they aren’t necessarily supervised by teachers.

LAUSD, famously where 4 in 5 children are white

The right-wing Supreme Court majority has once again shredded its credibility by rubber-stamping a racially gerrymandered map in Texas. Republicans know the extremists can only win by cheating. The people of California and beyond will prevent that from happening.

one way in which trump II is different than trump I is that there are far fewer people involved this time, and they're all true believers, so we're getting far fewer leaks this time around. i wouldn't be surprised if the number of people who know for certain what this is turns out to be less than 10
