No community should be forced to bear the weight of a system that profits from human suffering.
Private, for-profit prisons have no place in a fair and free democracy—and especially profiting off the suffering of an inhumane and undemocratic detention system.

I used to think that originalism had some theoretical flaws that would make it hard to implement in reality. Now I realize that the flaw of originalism is that they just didn’t mean any of it and it’s all just cover for imposing their preferred partisan outcomes.

Democrat politicians are objecting to the strikes in the Caribbean—as should everyone.
But Democrats have supported the Israeli government in continuously perpetrating precisely these same war crimes, including "double tap" murders in which they strike a civilian target, then hit the survivors.

What are double-tap strikes that Israel used to hit a hospital?
Israel's two strikes on Nasser Hospital are part of a pattern that has run the length of the war, monitors say.

TIL about a memorial ceremony in Iceland in 2019 to mark the end of a glacier, changing the place name from Okjökull to Ok (jökull = glacier). Uncompromising wording on the bronze plaque:

This is especially bullshit because USTA players are rated by skill level based how much they win against their opponents and if they win too much, they're moved up to the next level with tougher competition until they don't dominate. It's a self-levelling system designed to create even matches.

Recreational USTA league/tournament play is all organized by skill level. And UTR ratings are genderless. People (any people) will be playing against other players at their same level. This is such a dumb transphobic and cowardly policy.

A very important thread. When I was probably no more than 10, I saw this picture of the woman known as Harlow in the Philly Inquirer. A little babygay, I was shocked that such a glamour queen could live in my hometown and even more shocked to see her described as "a former man."
