Reminder that republicans invented the term “identity politics” because they believe when they identify as white that’s not an identity, it’s the the standard human condition, along with male, straight, Christian, etc.
Been saying this for a year now. After SFFA, the @nytimes ran a story about universities working overtime to recruit men--many of whom had less glittering credentials than women applicants. Wesleyan literally created a football team to recruit more men. We ladies are ready for the meritocracy.

I find it kind of funny that "new media" companies of different generations keep buying Warner Brothers. First AOL managed to use their soon-to-be worthless shares to buy Time Warner, now it's umpteen years later it's Netflix's turn (not suggesting that Netflix=AOL, but still).

Looks like Ukrainian president Zelensky narrowly survived an assassination attempt.
Four unidentified military-style drones breached no-fly zone to target Zelenskyy's arrival in Dublin
Gardaí are investigating whether the drones took off from land in Dublin or from an undetected ship.
