Hi. I transcribe child forensic interviews

You know who doesn’t want kids to know the correct names for body parts? The predators that put those kids in a position to need child forensic interviews.

Those kids NEVER know the right words for their body parts and it is always a hinderance.
It’s okay to name butts. It's okay to laugh about them. It is developmentally appropriate and healthy for toddlers (let alone fifth graders) to name body parts. We all have bums. What is the fear here? 5/

I mean this with all sincerity, and I think I speak for a lot of others: we would rather see undisciplined, amateur art by hand than shitty AI "art" any day.

You want to make fun of Pete Hegseth in a cartoon, but you can't draw? I would rather your stick figures than AI. Just draw.

It's hard to overstate the impact Taylor had as an AIDS fundraiser. $100 million is an estimate that doesn't include nine-figure bequests to AIDS charities.
there’s a scene in the new documentary where Elizabeth Taylor is talking about the stigma of AIDS and how she got involved in the movement and it’s fucking everything

The movie about this will be called No Good Men.
Hegseth has now pushed Adm. Bradley into the center of potential murder-charge and war-crime allegations. The White House said today, “Adm. Bradley worked well within his authority and the law, directing the engagement to ensure the boat was totally destroyed.”

Conservatives are so totally chuffed about Pierre's new-found affability and eye for comedic stylings at this weekend's Press Dinner. It's like that scene from the movie, when Pinocchio finally becomes a real boy.

Lol, Zillow tried to rate the climate risks facing individual properties. The real estate industry *hated* it, precisely because it worked -- it made selling risky properties more difficult. So they rebelled & Zillow caved.

Don't look up!

I remember back when I was an M.A. student I read a book about the history of medicine. I thought it was horrible, and remember telling myself "holy shit what a terrible field, i never want to do that" So now I'm a historian of medicine, which seems fair

Apropos of nothing, it's kind of funny how stuff like this just gets completely erased from political memory.

When the oilsands hit pay dirt
It wasn’t in the middle of a farmer’s muddy field or deep in the boreal forest where the Canadian oilsands truly struck pay dirt.

Mark Kelly was a really bad choice to target. Comey and Tish James were bad choices. The astronaut whose wife was shot by a right wing lunatic is very much even worse.

Socialism is what they called public power.

Socialism is what they called social security.

Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.

Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.

Breaking character: I am open to the idea the media's coverage of Biden's age and mental acuity was fair or perhaps not even tough enough. But the fact that it was so much tougher than the coverage of Trump's (more severe) mental decline is damning and I can't see how anyone could argue otherwise.
