This quote basically suggests that all men are controlling abusers. And that all coaches, Scout leaders, teachers, and camp counselors that are men are predators (and yes, a troubling percentage are, but certainly not the vast majority)
I didn't even think about them trying to make eating ice cream or popsicles in public illegal, but now I'm thinking about it, ugh.
I'm so sorry. When they go, they leave a big hole in your life, and heart. Sending hugs.
Yes, it can both be true that your Celtic background opened doors that were shut to women darker skinned, and that misogyny made your road a lot harder than if you had been a man.
And on the anniversary of Columbine!
Missing a flight means you spend MORE time at the airport, though. Spending like 2 hours to make sure you get on is one thing, spending 5 hours because that's the next flight sucks ass. Maybe the calculus changes if you live 20 min away rather than 1:30+ like I do?
The Prospect has learned that the Congressional Black Caucus will support a clean reauthorization of a warrantless spying program that expires in a week, despite its past use to surveil Black Lives Matter activists. @jamesjbaratta.bsky.social and Dan Boguslaw report.

Because it's June temperatures in March
And the Shakespearean cross-dressing
We’re defending Western Civilization by kicking Plato and Shakespeare out of university classes.
SEN. @ossoff.senate.gov : “The faithless president depicts himself as Christ while he plunges the nation into wars of choice… Remember — While you pay more for everything, the First Family’s wealth is growing by billions. Because they’re crooks, and everybody knows it.”
I was in a big box store when an inventory robot came by. I stood there and it kept beeping at me, so I punched the emergency stop button. Get fucked, robot

It would be theoretically possible to make yourself allergic to your own body this way.
Because he is an actual rapist. Every accusation is a confession
On this day in 1989, NYPD officers arrested five teenagers—four of whom were Black and one of whom was Latino—subjected them to coercive interrogation, and charged them with rape despite their innocence. All were sentenced to 5-13 years.
I guess we just need RFK Jr to get pancreatic cancer right about now
mRNA technology may be THE most underrated and unfairly scrutinized (fuck you COVID antivax crew) medical breakthrough in my lifetime.
Like... The things this is already showing it can do in the last 5-7 years is incredible.
I definitely agree that sex work has huge potential to be exploitative or downright abusive even with attempts at regulation and accountability. But if I knew someone who went to Amsterdam for a sex vacation I would not judge them the same as if they went to Thailand for a sex vacation.
Well I'm in Boebert's district so yes this tracks
Okay I was under the impression that sex work in the Netherlands is highly regulated and generally (but imperfectly) non-exploitative, especially compared to a number of other countries.
Perhaps instead of making a comment like this, reflect on how whatever difficulties white women face, it's worse for a Black woman in a similar circumstance. They are less believed, have less support, have more generational trauma, have more precarity in their jobs.
Good thing intelligence is only genetic and not, say, a confluence of genetic and environmental factors /s
infections and fevers, TBIs, using AI a lot, no none of those decreases intelligence
Making gene-edited "smart" babies and then not vaccinating for measles lol
(jokes aside, gene-editing for babies is super fraught ethically, even for very known, relatively straightforward fixing, like Huntington's; editing for intelligence is pseudoscience)
Well, sex tourism can be totally fine. Go to Amsterdam, have a blast! Nothing wrong with professional sex workers or their customers.
Not the same thing as the trafficking in sex and domestic chore slavery that this article describes.
"traditional"
What's "traditional" about them, Economist?
Argh! Heat pumps work well FOR SOME PEOPLE. One of those people will be me, because I live in a house that I own and do not currently have any A/C. It's like me telling them to just get an evaporative cooler, which is what I have now.
Even more wild to me as someone who has had a bear sighting a mile away!
Thanks I was unfamiliar! Not that I would believe a single thing the drunken failup says but still. Context is good to have
ANOTHER death in ICE detention.
