We didn't deserve this day.

Impossible to disagree with a single word that Ben Rhodes (Obama era NSC official) is saying here:

Rules and norms about war crimes are a global public good. If you or anyone in your family is between 16 & 60, male, & walks, you have a direct personal interest in it not being legitimate for them to be assinated for walking within any undeclared 3km radius around any combatant.

I’m so glad somebody directly estimated this. It’s even more extreme on a per capita basis. The average American retiree gets more than 10x more public spending than the average young person.

Meritocracy!!

The IOC is not banning trans women. They're banning anyone with phenotype/genotype variance by requiring genetic testing. The moral panic over trans people keeps getting stupider, and more harmful.

Contributor: If you're going to debate gender, make better arguments Some of the most widely circulated opinion pieces in recent months provided the argumentative equivalent of empty calories: vibes.

“If we want healthier public discourse and a public debate that actually advances our understanding of gender dynamics, we must stop feeding on vibes and start demanding nourishment.” What’s On Her Mind author Allison Daminger, with Eve Rodsky and @corinnelow.com for @latimes.com:

Such a nice surprise to get sent this episode! I, too, think you should read my book instead of Scott Galloway's 🤣

Thank you so much, what a nice surprise!!

No words for how evil this is.

Ummmmmmm. Free market, eh?

Iran War Live Updates: Supreme Leader Issues Defiant Statement as Global Supplies Disruption Grows

Watch these families clean up from the devastation of US / Israeli air strikes. The people in Iran are *people*. Not targets on a map or game pieces in Risk. And we are bombing them with no objective, no plausible excuse of self defense, no reason except our own national ego.

This is simply about persecuting individuals based on a moral panic. And I need the people on the center left who helped whip up the panic to be the loudest denouncing it right now.

Omg so cool!!

What? I love them! Buy their awesome toys: www.learningresources.com

This is soviet union shit.

Ok this is a very good joke. And dark. So dark.

That is a very, very good joke though.

I really, truly do not know what to say anymore. Click through to see the post.

Cough, sputter, I thought they were stealing the jobs of hardworking Americans???

You mean a reign of terror isn't good for business, and now we need to retrofit an explanation that contradicts the earlier justification for said assault on both the constitution and human decency?

Half a billion dollars to build concentration camps seems like it should be a MAJOR headline.

Totally. And we need to. Now.

Anne Frank died of dysentery. Do we want to allow this on American soil? And how, for the love of God, do we stop it??

Predicting that this week we’ll hear more conciliatory words from the Administration regarding Minnesota (since they’re starting to realize that ICE has become politically toxic) but everyone outside of Minnesota needs to know that nothing on the ground has changed.

🤔🤔🤔

SO WEIRD that this didn't work out the way people thought!!

😍😍😍

It's always "not as....but." These spam emails have taught me the tells of AI writing and now I find it such an immediate turnoff when real emails contain it.

Also, it is SO funny to imagine Donna Tartt writing an email.

This is real. So much for free markets, eh?
