my very favorite Richard Dawkins headline of all time remains “British scientists don't like Richard Dawkins, finds study that didn't even ask questions about Richard Dawkins”

When we told you they’d kill us we weren’t being hyperbolic.

Alito has now written two opinions drastically limiting the fundamental rights of ethnic minorities and women, which was the kind of thing you would have expected from a guy angry about both groups being admitted to Princeton, something known at his confirmation www.nytimes.com/2005/11/27/p...

I absolutely loathe Starmer and his cronies for the opportunity they were given to turn this country in a better direction and instead went full right wing Assholery.

People should consider that a consensus around treating diversity as “bullshit” contributed to an environment in which the court is comfortable doing this politically. Maybe.

The UK would look very different now had Kier Starmer done this. It was what people voted for when we got rid of the Tories but Starmer proved to be the biggest political disappointment we’ve seen and now we’re once again having to battle right wing racists. There’s a lesson in that.

One of the things I thought was interesting, if disgusting, was the way the Fall of Roe in 2022 seemed to prompt a fresh wave of “masculinity in crisis” mythmaking. Like there was no way the media would let women and their rights be the national focus for even a second.

This is actually the perfect distillation of the right wing worldview. A predatory industry treats consumers unfairly so it must be immigrants' fault.

So just to be clear families on snap can now get the rotisserie chicken but it’s. Only a theoretical purchase as the money has been cut to the point they can’t afford to? End stage capitalism’s Schrödinger’s Chicken.

PSA:when you finish up with sex and want to congratulate the lady for being in the top 1% of vaginas, don't.

okay this is genuinely hilarious to me, this is someone who has clearly never once visited Bluesky, The App That Hates Chuck Schumer (TM) even a little bit

The irony that chief among those politician loving people are self proclaimed Christians is razor sharp.

It’s also been the undeniable fact that privilege and white supremacy have given these men both the money and the power they have. They aren’t special. They aren’t better than the rest of us. In fact overwhelmingly, they’re predators. The vileness of the billionaire class has been laid bare.

Epstein's suicide note has been sealed in a NYC courthouse for 7 years. His cellmate found it in a graphic novel. Federal investigators never saw it. Documents were shredded outside the jail during the active investigation. The NYT is petitioning to unseal it. Watch this.

If ever there was a group of people who deserved justice and recompense from their tormentor, it’s the Sandy Hook families and if ever there was a scum hole of evil who deserved to make that recompense it’s Alex Jones. So glad the Onion continues to fight this good fight. 💜

It’s the two front runners in the “Face Like a Slapped ass” competition and they’re neck and neck…

The guy appointed by the Hurricane Katrina President declaring racism over and done with is really grotesque when you think about it.

It’s the justification for the gun bunkers. The left have to be murderous, armed to the teeth otherwise they’re the fools/bad guys who’ve tooled up against a generally peaceful political position/movement. A defining features of the right is the need for a boogy man to blame for their own excesses.

To borrow from your man Shakespeare she’s really protesting way too much.

Exhibit 1 for his trial for violations of our First Amendment rights.

In the 24 hours since the Supreme Court's majority ruled to demolish the Voting Rights Act's remaining protections, Louisiana and Tennessee have already signaled that they'll redraw their congressional maps with the clear effect of shutting Black voters out.

Prisonculture's mantra of "Let this radicalize you rather than lead you to despair" comes to mind

Hooray! www.bbc.com/news/article...

At the end of the LOTR shoot Viggo Mortensen bought the horses they used, gave them to the stunt riders and kept his own. He had an amazing rapport with his horse and worked with him to the point where he laid down and lifts Aragorn up in the scene where falls over the cliff in the 2nd film.

This👇🏽 deserves to be posted 100 times but I’d be labeled spam.

"When men no longer feel honored" fuck all the way off into the deepest pit of boiling sewage

I agree with this thread, but I will also note that it is a problem particularly for certain research fields and disciplines. Political science, law, economics, and certain kinds of sociology come to mind. Other sociologists, folks in Black Studies and other area studies were not confused.

Speaking as a historian, just wanna add that we are almost certainly going to receive an Era Name that none of us wants or expects

theres just no coming back from this without a complete tear down and rebuild of some of our most major institutions

I’d just add “…money, even though he’s a scum sucking SOB who continues to this day to torment bereaved families.” So many good and wonderful people out there having to crowdfund just to survive and this asshole still has cash to pay the lawyers. This better be very late stage capitalism.

I’m not encouraging anyone to do anything. Let’s get that out there right now. But as a thought exercise one thing to consider though is to compare what Trump supporters were willing to storm the capital over as compared to the myriad of events the so called rational people are not willing to over.

Toni Morrison on Rodney King protests: "What struck me most about the people who were burning down shops was how long they waited. The restraint, not the spontaneity. The moment they became anarchic was when they saw those tapes. But they waited for justice for almost a year… It didn't come."

THERE IS NO REASON TO DO THIS EXCEPT HATE AND GRIFT AND RACISM apnews.com/article/supr...

I am here to support and continue this work.

The double dealing and dishonesty of Farage and his ReformUK Ltd. Aided and abetted by a newspaper which now appears to have moved away from the Tories and towards the far right….

I mean… easily hated

In news that should surprise no one…

The core bold vision should be “revenge”: revenge on the Trumpers, revenge on big business, revenge on everyone who has made your life suck

More integral, even. Academic writing is a tool for thinking, and it's the brainstorming and outlining where ideas coalesce and solidify.

100% this. I’d add when you have arrogance to the level of Trump, it doesn’t matter if today he says grass is orange; tomorrow it’s blue. In his mind, he’s saying it and he’s the authority, so it’s the truth. It can vary minute to minute it doesn’t matter. Trump is the epitome of white supremacy.

Trump wants $100M for his golf outings. Remember when he made such a big deal about donating his salary? The president earns $400,000 per year. His golf outings cost taxpayers 250 times as much as the salary he claims to forgo.

As someone who was among the original supporters on gofundme banning Hair Love is straight up racism. There’s nothing in the book except a black family loving each other. Banning this says way more about Texas than it does this book.

2. Texas leads the nation in book bans. Many of the books banned have to do with civil rights or Black positivity. Like this banned book. So the Black kids can't film the cops that abuse them, but can get a book, so long as that book doesn't feature a Black dad learning to do his daughter's hair.🤡

Depraved Inbred Community Distances Itself From Prince Andrew

Greta Thunberg and 130 other Public figures have challenged the UK to arrest them for supporting Palestine Action. While the Government's appeal against the lifting of the ban is being held in court today and tomorrow. Like if the ridiculous ban needs to go.

Well we all know that Charles is real comfortable with second hand embarrassment at the hands of a sexual predator.

I have legit lost my voice from doing an Alex Jones impression once an hour or so for the last three days. Nobody hates this man more than his own larynx.

At this point, they’ve tried every distraction but a big musical number.

there is something genuinely clarifying and useful about this kind of stuff. they are totally hoods off and proud of it, which means we should not hesitate to describe them accordingly
