This is the pettiest of complaints, but I’m sick of websites and apps removing “no” as an option. It’s been replaced by “maybe later” or “ask again later.”

I swear there is a direct line between anger about women’s consent and this and it WILL be what drives me to villainy.

Honestly it’s not a petty complaint at all. It’s just a single example in a deeply terrible societal pattern of being a pest about consent.

On its own it wouldn’t be a huge problem, but without the broader pattern, which does amount to a huge problem, the specific symptom wouldn’t exist either.

Not to mention the absolute contempt for democracy both at home and abroad.

the Argentinian public healthcare system is free for residents and tourists, funded through taxes.

The great actress Diane Keaton has left us at the age of 79. Too soon to say good-bye to the woman who made us smile at the quirky Annie Hall, and who broke our hearts in Reds. Your charm and talent will be sorely missed.

"I dedicate this Nobel Peace prize to President Trump in the service of proximate military intervention in my country" is not the convincing smackdown of 47 that the Nobel committee might have thought it would be.

Machado issues her first statement since being awarded the Nobel Peace Prize and makes a thinly-veiled appeal to Trump for US intervention in Venezuela:

Is it bad that I wish the Nobel committee gave the peace prize to the Pope instead this time around?

More than half of ALL government shut down days in the history of America have come under just one president.

Simply put, the man is a terrible leader.

Future historians: As their computers ate and destroyed all their languages we can only assume that what happened was magic became real and that's how they defeated global genocidal fascism

On the left, the German Mud Wizard in their druid cloak pushes a German riot cops who is already stuck in the mud. On the left are 3 Portland Antifa frogs in green inflatable cartoonish costumes and one black frog with white frog bones on him like the antifa frog skeleton.

They like what Trump is doing, this really isn't hard. It's not both-sideism, it's running cover for the regime by choice in order to reach a desired outcome. Can we please stop cutting this institution slack it does not deserve?

David Corn @davidcorn.bsky.social · 15h

A classic case of irresponsible both-sidesism from the NYT. The story is that Trump and MAGA propagandists are lying about Portland to incite a conflict, not that there are different views of the matter.
