Gonna spend the next two years spamming every elected Dem about the concept of "damnatio memoriae." Chisel his name off every inscription. Build over the various Trump Towers like they're Nero's Golden House. Remove him from physical memory, not to forget but as a sign of disrespect to the man.
I hate the endless swelling of cars in North America. I just want a little car and I don’t want to be surrounded by giant monstrosities

seeing a ton of criticism about this but the second paragraph of the article notes that it is a publicity stunt and that fewer than 100 will be made. only slightly further down: "there is no cloud connection, no Wi-Fi, and no artificial intelligence features whatsoever"
A narrow flight of stairs led down to the basement, where the models lived in two small bedrooms that were cramped with bunkbeds – two in one room, three in the other. An additional mattress was located in a common area near the stairs. At times the apartment could be occupied by 11 or more people. We are heard it into the small spaces“ Kaite said.“The apartment was like a sweat shop“. Trump model management recruited models as young as 14. “I was by far the oldest in the house at the ripe old age of 18“ Anna said.
does John have to invite him? Barbara Pilling, also then an elite model, told us Trump asked her out for dinner in the summer of 1989 and an industry soirée. She recalls Trump asking how old she was. “I was 17 and he said, that’s just great – you’re not too old, not too young.”
it’s wild to me how there has been such in-depth reporting into Donald Trump‘s use of his modeling agency and beauty contests as a front for him and his pedo friends to get their rocks off, and somehow it never quite sticks. The reporting on his modeling agencies is especially harrowing.
Trump is an indictment of our political system, our criminal justice system, our media ecosystem, and our education system.
He is a Frankenstein monster made of all our past and present failures.
A country capable of electing a Donald Trump—twice, no less—is too dangerous and unstable to be “indispensable.”

Hey artists. If you see this, post a dog. 🐶
in general, & across the world, the political gender divide really opens up around 2016
wonder if something happened then?

I'm not joking when I say mRNA technology is more important than "AI" and it's a tragedy we're throwing billions into one while our government is aggressively defunding the other.
Someday, with luck and hard work, she will have a name too.
All federal wind power R&D at the Department of Energy is $0.137 billion. So the government is paying 7x the amount it spends on all wind power R&D just for a fee to kill one wind project. Seems bad.
Whatever peckerwood said "you get more conservative the older you get" was huffing paint. He was just a racist bitch that needed an excuse to be more racist. I'm old as hell and have been getting more radicalized every year.
We just turned in the copy-edited and fact checked draft. Feels good!
Selfishly, it would be nice for there to be no more apocalyptic end timesy stuff happening from now to the pub date, since we can't update any more. And also, bc I'm sick of living in it as I know all of you are, too.

Nm! Read the rest of the thread. Thank you! (Can I also recommend the series that begins with Slippery Creatures by @kjcharleswriter.com)
Me too. Any faves to recommend?!
strange these op-eds about women being too angry have all come out the last few days when during the same time there's also been a massive investigation published on an online rape academy with millions of viewers a month and none of them have bothered to even cover it, even as news
I think (a) activists and academics can sometimes use terms that sound weird to most people. I also think (b) mainstream Democrats and politicians have trouble communicating clearly in an appealing way. I think most efforts to claim that (a) and (b) are the same problem fall apart on the evidence.
I'm so out of patience with this kind of mockery. Yes, progressive language is jargon-y and occasionally irritating. You know how long ago that started? Roughly the dawn of time. So be irritated privately. But whining about it is like discrediting a picket sign because you hate the font.
If your thing is inventing demons on the left in order to depict progressivism as some kind of disease, go be a Republican. I think Beshear is basically a good guy, but this kind of self-credentialing is pandering trash.
Hookland has a long tradition of winged-dogs known as Feorhunds. Even the stone representations of them have a reputation for unbidden climbing and flying. Some say the nets hung around St. Agatha at Belford Darrow are to counter their proclivities for zooming around its tower.

Yes, the fact that I'm attending the White House Correspondents Dinner might SEEM like a supine gesture of complete deference to the insane dullard who demands total obedience from the press, BUT that's until you see the secret message I have on my pocket square
