"I said, 'Why don't we just capture the ship? Why did we sink them?' He said, 'it's more fun to sink them.'"

Oh, no biggie. Just the president of the United States out there boasting about the commission of war crimes, to the uproarious laughter of his Nazi cohort.

"Just after starting on Cars 2, I was told by a superior that I would be uninvited from all weekly art department meetings because Lasseter 'has a hard time controlling himself' around young women... It was clear that the institution was working hard to protect him, at the expense of women like me."

It's stiff competition, but Nellie Bowles may actually be the most evil, vapid person to work at her wife's stupid website:

How Jeffrey Epstein Seeded The Great Crypto Grift and The Modern Right-Wing Culture

Crypto and Bitcoin were vehicles for Epstein and his cabal of dystopian racists to make money, undermine democracy, subvert regulations, and usher forth right-wing populism.

When DOGE Unleashed ChatGPT on the Humanities

It was wrong and harmful - and quite possibly unlawful - to cut already approved NEH grants because Donald Trump hates "DEI."

But the way DOGE went about doing it was even dumber than you probably imagined.

They fed abstracts into ChatGPT and demanded an answer in fewer than 120 characters.

One of those girls was my mom. She was locked away for 6 months, forced to work, and made to pay for her room/board. Three days after my birth, they got her signature on the relinquish papers and put her on a bus back to my grandmother's. I was sold to the next couple on the #adoption agencies list.

Reading the 1818 text Frankenstien, and the thing it understands most keenly about the creative process is spending months toiling on a cherished project and when it finally comes to fruition, immediately never wanting to set eyes on it again.

okay so this seems pretty clear. he knows what it is, he did it on purpose, he chose keeping it over his career with the Marines, if we know this then Susan Collins will also know it, it will 100% come up in the general, let's be done talking about this guy as a real candidate

Teen mothers were silenced in 1960s maternity homes. Could it happen again? Kate Schatz’s novel "Where the Girls Were" revisits an era of secrecy, shame and girls pressured to give up their babies.

More than 1.5 million girls were sent to maternity homes during the Baby Scoop era, where they were kept in seclusion, told they didn’t deserve to be mothers, and returned to their lives to pretend none of it happened.

This is the America the GOP wants to make great again.

Running for Congress on a platform of sneaking into Polymarket HQ and unplugging all their stuff. Overflow crowds at a local Knights of Columbus hall roar with delight as I promise to pour Florida's Natural Grapefruit Juice (with pulp) into the USB-C port of every computer in the damn place.

It wasn't "cancel culture" when women and people of color got used up, silenced, and dismissed before their careers even began. It only became "cancel culture" when powerful abusers started having established careers momentarily inconvenienced by revelations of what they'd done.

RFK Jr. wants Dunkin’ to prove drinking its iced coffee is safe - The Boston Globe The warning comes as Kennedy is leaning heavily into his agenda to improve American diets.

This moron has no idea how much of a third rail this is. If he goes through with a public fight with Dunkin he will never live this down. In the words of my people "fuck ya motha."
