Malinowski probably has a future as a foreign policy or intelligence official in a future Dem administration and he doesn't seem to have one in NJ, but even if it's purely self-interest it's nice to see him saying that he'll back Mejia in the June primary against AIPAC's candidate.
BIG NEWS FROM NJ-11: former Rep. Tom Malinowski concedes, congratulates Analilia Mejia on a positive and well-run campaign, blames AIPAC for his loss, and promises to vigorously oppose anyone AIPAC backs against Mejia in June

Does anyone else have an MST3K line they use regularly, even if it makes no sense out of context?
Because I have both "That'll keep your panfish down for a while." and "Come come, boys, we must confound Jerry at every turn!" from MST3K the movie alone.

Someone who churns out hundreds of AI "books" and makes money tricking people into buying them thinking they're getting a novel isn't a writer. They're a scammer.
They're no more an author than a snake oil salesman is a doctor. It's just fundamentally a different thing.

one of the greatest human triumphs of my lifetime is the relentless, unceasing, heroic effort by DECADES' worth of doctors and scientists to find a cure for a disease much of the world didn't take seriously for years because it predominantly affected a community they thought kinda deserved it
Just because good news is worth celebrating:
There is now a Prep medication that is an *every six month* injection.
HIV has, effectively, a vaccination.

Has Charles Murray even once considered that maybe Zeus, the god of thunder, descending from Mount Olympus to sexually assault Leda was a black swan event?
Given that any historical Helen would be 4’ nothing and darker than me, one is forced to conclude that Charlie is offended by Lupita because his notion of ‘Western Civilization’ is largely based on sword and sandal movies he saw as a kid in the fifties
