AI is officially very dumb:

"As a result, Sir David's wife, Victoria Beckham, now officially goes by 'Lady Victoria' - a title Stoll would also acquire if McIlroy were to receive the same recognition."

No, she doesn't.

When Massachusetts passed a "millionaires tax" in 2023, conservatives claimed the rich would flee.

But two years later, they haven't — and MA has collected $5.7B for infrastructure and public education.

A reminder that positive change can still happen at the state level.

Hi friends, one of my magistrates is looking for someone to help out in his arbitration company doing case administratotion, remotely, part time, a few hours a week and someone who might be interested in helping on the management side.

I would do it, but it's a conflict with my day job.

I see the “technically it’s ephebophelia” crowd is out today, so just a reminder that A) this is NOT a case where technically correct is the best kind of correct and B) the minute you say this, the gods dump you in the “irredeemable creeper” basket and wash their hands thoroughly after touching you.

Hey @nytimes.com

In Florida, she could not consent to sex at 17. This is rape. Punishable by up to life in prison.

Your words fucking matter. Because despite being proven to work for pedophiles, y’all should know the proper term for what he did.

At the same time the NY Times was hyping Hillary Clinton's emails, it had a reporter with emails from Jeffrey Epstein that were highly damaging to Trump.

The more NYT apologists try to minimize this the clearer it becomes that they don't understand why much of the public doesn't trust legacy media.
