Relayed (with a graphic, even!) from my US house. On sale this week on BookBub for those who use it, Or might decide to. $3 for Written on the Dark is the cost (adjusted for centuries passing) of a flask of wine in a tavern in Ferrieres…

A very good piece. “The fact that many men believe they no longer even have to pretend to respect women in order to participate in public life makes it unlikely that anything will change anytime soon.”

Massive shoutout out to whoever handles the Royal Canadian Air Force’s social media account. They responded to every single comment on their already very solid Trans Day of Remembrance post and they responded like this…

It’s fun to think about the surgeon who will botch your surgery 20 years from now and what he’s doing at this moment. He just ran all his homework through ChatGPT. He just read that article about vaccines and autism at the CDC website. He just watched an Instagram video about the moon landing hoax.

behold! the end result of the conservative Christian values movement!
Wait, I'm supposed to believe that the convicted child sex trafficker who was inexplicably moved to a minimum security prison after an interview with the president's personal lawyer and who the president's allies have been portraying as a victim has blackmail material on the president?

Other folks have said it, but let me just note that:

(1) lots of talented, must-read journalists have been let go from their jobs over the last year

(2) millions of Americans are abandoning current media outlets and looking for new alternatives

Seems like a sure-fire business opportunity here?

Another one of Felon & co.'s instances of 'slide this nefarious act in while everyone is distracted (by something else horrible that we just did)'.

We know there is no low too low for them, but seeing it in action sucks every freaking time 🤬🤬
