"not exactly acting with the best behavior. If people would like to continue dragging stuff from that time in my life" said with an edge what time is that, creep? YOUR ENTIRE LIFE UP TIL AND INCLUDING THIS CAMPAIGN?

These guys are so funny, the relaxed joking all the way through, and then near the end you realize this is not actually the announcement of the (totally undefined in this video) project, but an announcement that there will be an announcement soon--probably! About something!

The oldest example I've found of this trope, a non-Asian dude excelling at Asian martial arts on film, is Blood on the Sun (1945). James Cagney plays journalist in Japan that masters Judo, and it's inspired by a famous piece of anti-Japanese propaganda called The Tanaka Memorial Document.

By the numbers, Clarence Thomas has been treated to: • At least 38 destination vacations; • 26 private jet flights; • 12 VIP passes to pro & college sporting events; • 2 stays at luxury resorts; • 1 standing invite to an uber-exclusive golf club (Published 2023)

This app has been very slow for me for months. Things taking forever to load, upstream timeouts, reposts not reposting, likes not registering, on & on. Even the simplest things like viewing skeets or pages or looking at my own notifications can take over a minute or several minutes load.

It's been weeks since I could reliably look at someone's profile and swipe over to their media tab. It's the first thing I do when I consider following someone - to see if they write alt text.

I don't think it should be legal to hide whether an elected official is conscious and or alive.

No. That is victim blaming. Until we have a justice system that actually prosecutes rapists (which it mostly doesn't do, period, even when women report) without putting victims through the wringer, survivors are not obligated to ruin their own lives so a rapist won't ruin somebody else's.

If somebody told me that dog is a Tove Jansson character come to life, I would believe them.

Jenny Racicot, matter-of-factly, on CNN: "I've thrown up three times today." If Platner had dropped out, or been pushed out, when the last round of DV allegations dropped, she wouldn't be in this position today. That she is, is on him and his supporters.

Lawyer billboard of the day (Los Fresnos, Texas):

Buck up, US fans. The women’s World Cup is less than a year away.

Out of 211 national federations in FIFA, 8 have won the World Cup. Germany, Italy, and Argentina have combined to win exactly half; Brazil has won almost a quarter by themselves

You know who was also credibly accused of rape (and allegedly paid off a victim)? Christiano Ronaldo. Just as a quick reminder how much people care about violence against women generally.

“Self-Portrait on the Borderline Between Mexico and the United States”, is a 1932 surrealist oil painting by Frida Kahlo.

Reminder: we are war crime-ing Cuba right now because Trump and Rubio want to collapse their government. Not a major part of the media discourse but it should be.

“Memory, the Heart” (also known as Recuerdo) painted by Mexican artist Frida Kahlo in 1937. Kahlo depicts herself without hands to represent her feelings of helplessness and despair.

So as I was fucking saying….

Gonna bet Trump has a fit of rage posting, and then pretends to forget that soccer exists.

I'm so disillusioned, I almost don't even care who gets the FIFA Peace Prize next year

Yes. They deserve to be reminded of what they said and who they bullied when we were all saying "this guy is not the guy to support" every damn day for the rest of their lives.

not gonna forget about the men who said this stuff. The Ken Klippensteins and Matt Stollars of the world don’t deserve their platforms and they need to rethink their morals.

From now on whenever someone on here is so happy because they just gave birth, or they got a new animal, I'm going to respond with "well you know they're going to die some day" Cause that's the energy some of you approach even the most semi-positive post on here.

Sound on. The 20-second GOOOOOOAAAAALLLL lol

"My bad, seriously, guys."

The US is responsible for this

Not yet seen anyone claim Racicot is "lying in order to get famous," but I'm sure it's only a few minutes away, even with my heavily curated timeline. Such claims always happen and have zero basis in reality. Women who come forward are put through absolute hell by the media. She has my respect.

Three phone calls and one mysteriously cancelled red card later, we’ll never know if we could have won fairly.

I have edited a lot of sexual-assault-accusation articles, and this one easily clears every veracity check: contemporaneous emails with her therapist, a boyfriend who knew, a woman she warned—all before Platner ran for office. Good on Politico for nailing it, and on Jenny Racicot for speaking up.

One thing I would love is if, when a straight white guy “sees the light” and joins the left, he would volunteer for a community group and like knock doors for someone who’d been on the left for ages instead of immediately wanting to be the candidate. It’d be like a litmus test for if they’re serious

I will say again that I really need a list of everyone who supported Platner post Nazi tattoo because I probably had most of them muted but need to know so I can yell at them if I ever encounter them elsewhere in the future

Ngl it's still pissing me off that when I said I had concerns about Platner I got called a Zionist. Turns out I wasn't a Zionist, and the guy shouldn't be the candidate.

My wife took this week off from work so I asked her what she did today. Apparently she built herself a whole ass work bench in the basement because she needed a second one, so she just made it.

Can we PLEASE now acknowledge that Bernie is an absolute Shit Show when it comes to judging character? He’s up there with Oprah for picking dumpster fires.

He lied about every single thing. Everyday. He ran knowing full well who he is while presenting himself as someone else (poorly). He wasted everyone’s time & money & shattered people’s credibility. He used the political process as a vanity project to the detriment of the folks he wanted to represent

Hearing the first cicadas in my neighborhood for 2026. They’ve been singing at the university for a week, and we heard some in the mountains more than a month ago.

I will say again that Warren showed her true character applauding Trump at the SOTU and this Platner stuff should be the last nail in the coffin for Cult of Warren

Not only do I think this is possible I think it easily could have been Mitch's own idea, if he's been at all capable of producing them lately. The dude who literally stole a supreme court seat would not be above leaving nefarious instructions behind for his turtle minions

Did not expect to have to take a Tums in response to reading the latest Platner news. And here I am, with my second Tums in 10 minutes. To every woman and every victim of sexual abuse, I'm so sorry. Today's a shitty day.

They’re going to say “isn’t it suspicious that she only came forward when it’s nearly too late to replace him on the ballot” and just not acknowledge that they didn’t listen when there was more time

"By the way, 棺 and 柩 are both read 'hitsugi,' but 棺 is for an empty coffin (i.e., the container itself), and 柩 is for one with a body in it. So it's a wooden container used to keep a body hidden away for a long time huh" [a play on 柩 and 久, "long time", boxed inside the kanji]

SO MANY OF US TOLD YOU THIS WOULD HAPPEN www.npr.org/2026/07/06/n...

This article is annoying for a couple of reasons. My biggest gripe is that this issue of increased teaching loads isn't framed as an issue facing the tenured and tenure-track professoriate at mainly R1s. For contingent faculty or SLACs, 4-4 seems pretty standard, and even 5-5 is not unheard of.

I will say once again with love that it does not take a particularly high level of character discernment to understand that a Nazi Tattoo Guy is bad news

It's really important to emphasize this: the reason that conservatives are arguing for increased teaching loads is that they want to END mainstream humanities research
