If you let them ban porn, they will call you pornographic when they ban you.

Zhang Shan won the gold medal for the mixed skeet shooting event in the 1992 Olympics.

The International Shooting Union *immediately* banned women from competing against men.

The fact that Trump had appointed a totally unqualified donor to be Secretary of the Navy leading into what turned into the biggest crisis for the US Navy since World War 2 could be covered like the media covered Michael "Brownie" Brown during Hurricane Katrina.

They choose not to do this!

A tweet by George Michael I HAVE NEVER AND WILL NEVER APOLOGISE FOR MY SEX LIFE! GAY SEX IS NATURAL, GAY SEX IS GOOD! NOT EVERYBODY DOES IT, BUT.....HA HA!

The cyberattack on The British Library in October 2023 knocked out ebooks and almost ever other computer thing there for years.

Ebooks just came back. They were knocked out everywhere using the BL’s license (legal deposit libraries I think? More libraries?)

Distributed physical copies matter.

New poll: 55% support impeaching Trump Support for impeachment rivals levels during Donald Trump's first presidency, when he was impeached twice, and for impeaching Richard Nixon after the Watergate scandal

one of the things that's important about this milestone is that there is absolutely nothing in the immediate offing that could possibly reverse this sentiment; this is an administration that's physiologically incapable of fixing a problem

Hung Cao—who compared abortion to the Holocaust on the campaign trail and claimed combat injuries with no documentation—just became Acting Secretary of the Navy. This is what the collapse of institutional standards looks like in real time.

The ‘big durian’: one day in Jakarta, the world’s largest city The UN has officially designated Jakarta the world’s largest city, home to 42 million. We explore a day in the life of the ‘big durian’.

one city with the population of Canada. wow. www.theguardian.com/world/ng-interactive/202...

Straining it takes 3 minutes! Washing the pot and the strainer takes 3 minutes! You need to stir for 3 minutes total! What IS THIS foolishness?

There is a reason Watergate was broken by Woodward & Bernstein on the metro desk AND NOT by the White House press corps.

Izzy Stone was mocking White House reporters as useless back in the 1950s

So, the guy who thinks that witches have taken over California is now the acting Secretary of the Navy? Super.

You ever try to code switch at work and fail? 😂

One of the most telling pics of the year ... so far.

This is not wrong.

National Review magazine cover featuring a cartoon drawing of then–SCOTUS nominee Sonia Sotomayor dressed as a Buddhist monk, legs crossed, swathed in a saffron robe, eyes closed and slanted sharply upward. It feels racist in multiple directions at once. It is captioned "The Wise Latina," because at that time the Right was obsessing over her having used that phrase in a way they were sure was outrageously presumptuous (it wasn't) and oxymoronic (because they're racists and misogynists).

Gotta resurface this classic of the genre for those too young to recall. Every time conservatives do a racism-sexism combo, I remember this.

RFK Jr. just said that immigration is to blame for the outbreaks of vaccine-preventable diseases in the U.S., not him.

Yet another 🖤 Very Happy Birthday to John Waters 🖤 who continues to bless us with his presence and helps make our world a better and more interesting place.

american media this morning is all twisted

This is the thing, if "academia" wanted to stop this, we could easily tomorrow. Over 3 incorrect references? Rejected and forbidden to submit next year.

Banning surveillance pricing for groceries should be an easy yes and an easy win.

Among all the good reasons, legal scholarship on AI regulation has supported this kind of approach for decades. It’s specific & addresses an obvious harm that is enacted at scale only because of this underlying tech.

The moral chasm between the two parties couldn’t be wider, and you don’t even have to think Democrats are all that moral to understand that.

i can't believe we're losing to these guys

WARREN: That's not my question. Are you refusing to tell us if you have investments in vehicles set up by Jeffrey Epstein?
