So we have two immigrant heroes. One in Australia who helped disarm one of the shooters and one in the US who helped track down the Brown U shooter. When a man stabbed several people in the UK, it was also an immigrant who disarmed him.
Weird that the Far Right keeps vilifying immigrants.

It’s easier to have morals, ethics, scruples… when you are fed, warm, housed.
So. If you need to raise an army of goons, it’s important to squeeze the life out of people first.
Not a suggestion. A warning.

Just finished reading A Children's Bible by Lydia Millet. Really knocked me on my ass. The pace was breathtaking. I couldn't figure out if I related to the children or the adults more. Maybe that's the point.

It is newsworthy that the president of the United States is increasingly verbally abusive of women reporters and he should be asked about it.

If some guy stole my shit and made millions off it while wiping out my job prospects, and you, as my friend, bought that guy's cheap mass market replica of my shit, you and i would for obvious reasons have a problem. It being a massive company, not a guy, actually makes it even more of a problem.

The White House’s insistence on using Sabrina Carpenter’s work and image to promote their crimes against humanity is also them appealing to their base, which already uses technology to try and humiliate and puppeteer the likenesses of women who have autonomy, success, and visibility in public

The dripping contempt the right wing SCOTUS majority holds for district judges is truly a sight to behold every time. When they deign to give actual reasons for their shadow docket holdings, it’s “look at the absolute idiots who keep getting everything wrong!”

Like women legitimately can’t win because the mindset always has to be about being unfair to the man. “Women only want hot guys” and “I go to the gym and buy nice clothes but women still don’t want me” are the same damn thing. “Women are materialistic and don’t care about my good job” ok sure
