Every elected representative who even theoretically supports this war needs to answer whether they regard a seven-year-old Iranian girl as a human being

“We don’t waste time or lives” unless those lives belong to a hundred little girls at school

Madam President of the UNSC, Melania Trump (I’m serious), has begun the meeting on “children and education in times of conflict” (I’m serious, again).

I blurted out unkind words I regret to Gmail when it tried to do this to me an hour ago

Pope Leo Will Spend July 4 Visiting Migrant Crossing Island Pope Leo has spoken out against the treatment of migrants in the United States several times over the last year.

JD Vance personally invited Pope Leo to the U.S. 250th celebration on the 4th of July. Today the Vatican announced Leo will be spending the day with migrants instead.

‘No one deserves this’: Beaverton father dies after deportation to Mexico A Beaverton family is grieving after the father, who was detained and deported by ICE, has now died.

This 53 year old man who lived in my neighborhood w/no criminal record & who had been in the US for 30 years, was detained and thrown into a cold cell for days, caught pneumonia and COVID there and deported.

He finally died.

I am so angry.

Scott Galloway is wrong about dads and childbirth He called it “disgusting” for fathers, but that’s not what my research has found

Scott Galloway recently told Derek Thompson on his podcast that childbirth is “disgusting” and “unnatural” for dads. I’ve studied fathers' experience of childbirth in my lab for years, and I think Galloway is wrong. darbysaxbe.substack.com/p/scott-gall...

CHOTINER: can't -- you just ask her to, share with you?

ME: can't you just say the restaurant has a rule??

Why Frederick Wiseman Was the Greatest Documentary Filmmaker Ever In nearly sixty years of nonfiction filmmaking, Wiseman passionately probed the nodal points of political and social power and connected them in a cinematic universe of his own.

That's right @tnyfrontrow.bsky.social www.newyorker.com/culture/the-...

So many perfect grace notes, like in GII when Tom is ministering to the senator in the brothel and suddenly sounds like Sonny ("In Tahoe...as his guest")

Frederick Wiseman was one of the greatest. Titicut Follies, High School, Law and Order, Domestic Violence, Welfare, and so many more, an astonishing body of work.

What the Royal Family’s Links to Slavery Mean in the Age of Epstein Just as the former Prince Andrew will always be royal, so will the trafficking of African people.

"It is not a coincidence that, through the centuries, people who are objectified for their bodies and blood set out to objectify others in turn, whether through the ministrations of the Royal African Company or Jeffrey Epstein’s e-mail account." www.newyorker.com/news/letter-...

how terrifying and wonderful! what a life you have led alissa!

Season 5 is absolute mayhem, every single episode a banger, Succession is the only thing that's come close to how fun that was on my tv

I grew up in Buffalo so we watched the CBC's Olympics coverage, so much better

I suspect most people just want to watch the competitions, a wounded nation does not need grief counseling because a kid from Kazakhstan stole the gold medal reserved for the U-S-A

No one else matters, other countries are abstractions

Late to the men’s skating final and it’s truly noxious how NBC frames so much of its Olympic coverage as jingoistic pseudo-events totally oriented around praying for an American athlete’s triumph and then mourning his tragic defeat

What a redemption arc!

One of my young Olympic-viewing companions has been under the impression that Tonya Harding and Tara Lipinski are the same person, and honestly I regret clearing this up for her

Not awkward at all, and I totally understand!

Tim, I appreciate this feedback, truly (and I do hope I got the vibes right!)

That makes me feel less lonely brother thanks

Nathan I gotta hit the gym

I have now received two (2) emails praising me for saying or writing something actually said/written by Scott Galloway in case we'd like to check in on what LLMs are doing to reading comprehension, human relations, and the art of the bluff

Shout-out to all the elementary-school parents who just realized that Valentine’s cards/treats for the whole class are due tomorrow (couldn’t be me)

skeleton: behold my figure, ass on display at flattering angle, headfirst downhill like a gravity-fed demon, brave

luge: whole body's a double chin, flying gooch-first, prisoner of sport, corpse-like pose

I am sorry to barge in but self-checkout is terrible and getting worse, at least where I live (my research hubs are a CVS and a Target in western Mass)
