Jesus Christ, that's like two chicks out of EVERYONE ELSE IN THE WORLD
The women drawn to RFK Jr. see an intoxicating cocktail of romance and danger—whether it's getting attacked by a yak or texting about taking metaphorical bullets for each other.
But to most others, Kennedy is a reckless conspiracy theorist whose appetite for danger will result in a sicker America.

The inexplicable sex appeal of RFK Jr.
How can such ferocious desire be attached to this man? Two memoirs by the women who love him offer some clues.

This is narcissism masquerading as philosophy — the technophile elite are not recognizing a new soul in AI, they're falling in love with their creation, staring at their own reflection in a digital pool.
It is the ultimate in solipsism and has its roots in a pathological fear and denial of death.

One way I am quite philosophically conservative is I do basically think that knowledge of logic (like the traditional discipline including in its modern mathematical format) makes one better at following and reconstructing ordinary language arguments, and thus should be mandatory for grad students.

The decision, effective Feb. 3, 2026, affects up to more than a half million Haitians. They now face returning to a country plagued by criminal gangs that control all major roads into the capital Port-au-Prince.

The CDC has turned off its vaccine search tool.
The vaccines.gov site now gives an error when you enter a valid zip code.
They also removed text saying “Vaccines can help you stay healthy” and added a banner saying the site is being updated.

Nice to see a Democrat outright defend the humanities and the arts rather than taking the right-wing assault on them at face value.
New York City helped my mother become the artist she is today. The next generation deserves a City Hall that lifts up tomorrow's artists as well.

Here Kelly refers to the push by the regime to silence those it believed created the conditions for Charlie Kirk's murder. When Kelly says Trump did make it to Thanksgiving without inciting violence, the implication is that Trump has forgotten Kirk. Trump truly betrays everyone in the end.
Sen. Mark Kelly on Trump suggesting he be executed & Hegseth opening an investigation into him: We recited something in the Uniform Code of Military Justice, and he's going to prosecute me under the Uniform Code of Military Justice. It is so ridiculous, it's almost like you can't make this shit up.

Do you want turkey-cock? Because that's how you get turkey-cock.
Why do we call these birds "turkeys"?
Add this to the list of "European explorers are bad at naming things". EVERYTHING new was "turkish" because of rising cultural influence of the Turkish (Ottoman) Empire.
Corn: "Turkish wheat"
Pumpkins: "Turkish cucumbers"

The problem with ICE is not that it's targeting people who aren't criminals. The problem with ICE is that it's an unaccountable secret deportation police. It cannot be reformed under a better president. It can be made less terrible, but the instrument of repression remains for the next tyrant.
