The dictator's new shoes? Trump demands his subordinates wear the same footwear. With revelations about a bizarre footwear fetish, the president joins a long line of autocrats throughout history by insisting that his subordinates copy his style — or else.

But apparently… it is real. Donald Trump reportedly has a footwear fetish. He’s testing the loyalty of his lieutenants by whether they’ll lace up in the same black shoes he wears. And yes, it’s creepy.

78 million Americans, those who couldn’t be bothered, and those whose 1 issue was not addressed satisfactorily by Kamala, who couldn’t do the, if that then this math, are really owning this apocalypse.

Why is research led by women retracted less frequently? - LSE Impact A recent study found research by women had fewer retractions. Are women betters researchers, or does the finding reflect wider structural issues?

‘A recent study found research papers with women as first authors had fewer retractions than those with men as first authors. Curt Rice argues these findings indicate more troubling patterns of power and attention in academic publishing.’

America always howling about nuclear threats, is the only country to ever drop a nuke on anyone…two actually.
And now a dementia ridden, terminally ill narcissist with raging sadism who will happily burn the world down before he dies has started a fckn war and has the nuclear codes.

Anti-war feminists could be focusing on raising awareness about russian war crimes against Ukrainian women instead of posting performative nonsense that undermines support for Ukraine’s defence. Russia holds civilian women hostage and rarely agrees to exchange them: www.pravda.com.ua/eng/news/202...

❗️Russia is providing Iran with targeting intelligence on US military positions including warships and aircraft in the Middle East, the Washington Post reported, citing three officials. Six US soldiers were killed in Kuwait in strikes analysts link to the intelligence sharing. #Iran

Russia is providing Iran intelligence to target U.S. forces, officials say The targeting information has included the locations of American warships and aircraft in the Middle East, the officials said.

So Russia is giving Iran targeting and intel on American forces in the Gulf.

So let me get this straight: Trump supports Russia, which supports Iran.

So, in Trump logic, Ukraine is the enemy.

Got it.

The USA has asked Ukraine for weapons to defend against Iranian drones. Zelensky told them to negotiate as they don't have any cards.

Iranians I know are profoundly inclined to believe that this strike was planned by the regime. They’ve done similar and worse and don’t give a shit about the populace. They don’t even have air raid sirens. It’s better for the them if this horror gets pinned on US-Real— indiscriminately homicidal too

Iran's Defense Ministry spokesperson said at least three levels of successors have been designated for every commander, adding that Israel and US were wrong to assume Iran would collapse if its leader was killed. #Iran

It probably goes without saying, but just in case: they don’t attack iran like this unless they know there *aren’t* nukes.

At some point you wonder not just if insiders using information to place bets, but maybe also reshaping their advice to make those bets profitable.

Netflix Backs Out of Bid for Warner Bros., Paving Way for an Ellison Takeover

The richest man owns X.

The second and third richest men control Google.

The fourth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.

The fifth richest man owns The Washington Post.

And now the sixth richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros.

See the problem here?

IMHO, it is important that Woke 2 be deemed "excessive" by historians, "sweeping too broadly" with "punishments too severe." It cannot be merely a course correction, it must be an overcorrection. Nothing less will serve as an adequate deterrent against the fascists and their collaborators.

I agree with the sentiment but also this specific issue could be pretty readily dealt with without broader policy.

“The Epstein class sexually abuses women and girls with impunity.” “The Epstein class covers up sexual abuses.” “The Epstein class work together to punish people who speak out against what they’re doing.” Look, “the Epstein class” is men.
