A reminder that destroying historic/heritage sites is a war crime. It is, to put it bluntly, a terrorist tactic, deployed by deplorable groups such as the Taliban (Bamiyan Buddhas) and ISIS (Palmyra).
A disc jockey who took a job and in doing so became an example for education, curiosity, precision, and conducting yourself in a gentlemanly way. He funded full scholarships to Fordham for the underprivileged, gave money to libraries, schools in Canada, etc.
Iranian hackers threatening to hack into the top 3 credit bureaus and wiping Americans debt⦠and I just wanna know who I gotta speak to in order to expedite this.
I was there, and this was true.
We donβt yet know if Estefany RodrΓguezβs detention was in retaliation for her reporting but we certainly wouldnβt be surprised.
ICE abductions of noncitizen journalists take the reporters best equipped to cover immigration enforcement off the beat.
I vaguely remember Sam Delaney wishing everyone had access to gay cruising culture. In theory quite a fun idea but basically every attempt to remove it from its context ends badly. You need to defeat sexism on a society wide level before thatβs really plausible at scale.
"why did you become a writer" because no one gave a shit about my special interests growing up. now i make them everyone else's problem. next question
Unbelievable that we still talk about withholding HIV funding as a form of political maneuvering rather than an act of social murder, as if the 80βs + 90βs never happened and we didnβt lose an entire generation to this already.
Someone should 100% write a TV series about Neil Sedaka, Barbra Streisand, Neil Diamond, Barry Manilow & Carole King growing up at the same neighborhood in Brooklyn
"Music would play, they tell me the days were sweet and clear

βMy mother wanted me to be a classical pianist,β he said. βBut I loved pop music. I loved melody. I loved the idea of three minutes that could change your life.β

I spoke with #Pillion director Harry Lighton and star Harry Melling about bringing the film to life, including the intimate scenes Lighton deliberately chose not to show in a film bold enough to feature Colin giving Ray a hummer in a back alley.

"I asked Chat GPT and -" ok, I asked the exhumed corpse of Pope Formosus during the Cadaver Synod and he went "... ... ..." and then his jaw fell off and it was still a better answer
You do NOT want to become the main character of the day when so many chronically online people are stuck at home because of a damn blizzard. Iβll tell you that much.
Mayor Brandon Johnson announced βAbolish ICEβ as the winner of a citywide snow plow name contest. He had earlier given it a βfull and completeβ endorsement.
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.
I love the hater pope
I'm not saying this isn't worth doing, but let me share a bit of Black History for Black History Month. Believe me, this is the tip of the iceberg and insurance availability has been weaponized against us for so long it's more legislated than job and property discrimination combined.

Okay, this is quite outstanding from Bedford Council.
