While psychopathy is the norm in politicians, it has rarely been so nakedly obvious as in Trump. Other presidents could intellectualize the goodness of things like trust, but Trump is so defective he lacks even the ability to assume the virtues he has not.

And that’s part of the problem a lot of people assume Black thinkers are simply acting out of revenge and hatred against white people rather than examining and exploring the dynamics within their communities and larger context.

They should change the rules of cricket so that if a test match finishes early they just keep playing. Instead of two innings each, it’s at least two innings, but if they can fit in three, four, or even five (entirely plausible at this rate) then go for it. #ashes

the least shocking thing in the epstein files that wont get enough attention. police regularly arrest and charge victims to coerce them into participating, often jailing them in conditions that are worse.
jesus the Palm Beach Police really sought arrest warrants against underage Epstein victims for coming forward and cooperating, and (purported) admitting to crimes, and it caused the victims to become uncooperative with the federal investigation
![. . . very cooperative, but the police at that point had to let [redacted] know that what she had done that she could be facing charges.
Q And that was after they had told her earlier that she didn't need an attorney present, correct?
A Exactly.
Q Okay. So this happens to her with the Palm Beach Police Department and did the Palm Beach Police actually present or propose charging [redacted]?
A They did get a probable cause affidavit against [redacted].
Q And is that why Ms. [redacted] and her attorney were concerned about her testimony here?
A Yes.
Q Now was a subpoena issued for Ms. [redacted] on behalf of this grand jury?
A Yes, it was.
Q And before Ms. [redacted] would comply with that, did she -- did her attorney request some sort of order?
A Yes.
Q And what did he ask for?
A He asked for immunity for [redacted].](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:eoss3vmzem55cm5kuddhdmwn/bafkreiariijffjjrgfh26o22jjr76pwprinvnbpkcho5lyi2sucfbqlooy@jpeg)

In Andrew Bolt's infamous 2018 "tidal wave of immigrants column", he specifically singled out Jewish communities as 'part of the problem'
The idea that the far-right, anti-immigration parties and xenophobe media are going to protect the Aus Jewish community is absurd

The bigotry from those who are convinced all Muslims are responsible for this. The disinformation on all sides that this would not have happened without Israel, when ISIS's psychopathy targets Jews regardless. The justifications or support from parts of the left.

It's not often that I look at social media and despair. It's basically just been at a steady stream of despair for a decade, so why even concern ourselves with the ups and downs?
But seeing the reactions to the Bondi massacre has made me despair more than usual.

This is why all these discussions are just eugenics wrapped up in process and anecdote. You can’t explain the outcomes without acknowledging privilege UNLESS you think white men are genetically superior. They all disgracefully think that but most are too chickenshit to say it.

The idea that changing a definition to include criticism of Israel as being anti-Semitic and cracking down even further on anti-genocide protests would have in any way made anyone safer is madness. That the Coalition have so comprehensively jumped to blame here is insanity. Who is this speaking to?

The weird thing about the media coverage of Linda Reynolds is how cold it is. Just the facts, like this is perfectly normal. No one in any position of influence prepared to state the obvious fact that this is evil, that Reynolds is a soulless narcissist, and that the law is wrong. Cowards. #auspol

One theory I have is that competence, self-control, responsibility, and expertise have all been feminized, leaving “masculinity” with the realm of impulsivity and petulance. So the divide is not really between “femininity” and “masculinity” so much as between adulthood and childishness.
Everything else aside, the idea that this is a model for many men of *masculinity* is so wild. This? This is "manly"? This is how people think it's cool to act?

On the one hand I don’t understand people who furiously toot their horn if you wait for a pedestrian to cross the road before turning.
Like, it’s one thing to drive like a dickhead, but another to get angry that other people don’t.

Gonna be something to behold as we realize like 40% of the country thinks 50 year old men raping 15 year olds is actually nbd and “something most men want even if they don’t say it”

This is really not a healthy response to "Zohran Mamdani condemned swastikas drawn on a Jewish day school in Brooklyn." Which is not actually something that has to do with Zionism at all. It is bad that parts of the left are becoming this conspiratorial and unmoored from evidence.
