I remember feeling silly and paranoid, saying that our horrific politicians and media outlets were engaged in a concerted effort to basically outlaw Palestinian solidarity. But that’s absolutely what they’ve done, both to harm the left and distract from their complicity in crimes against humanity.
There has been a relentless, cacophonous campaign to stigmatise pro-Palestinian activists. But the inconvenient truth is that these are just ordinary people of good conscience who see the horrors of Gaza and simply cannot bear to stand by and do nothing.

Nope. Still can't work out how Lee Ann Rimes is like a "little furby" except that Jamie just had to get a reference to the big Christmas fad in there. #totp

One thing that absolutely definitely happens for real in the academic job market is that when you do not get a job, the Dean calls you and explains why you didn't get it. This is extra-super true when the explanation is something legally actionable on its face.
You’ll never guess who else experienced ‘racism’ on the job market despite their unimpeachable academic credentials.

Never forget the time in 2020 Charlie Kirk (dead now) pretended to be a black guy on Twitter but forgot to switch accounts when giving himself a nice compliment.

The cultural impact of Rob Reiner cannot be understated. Legend isn't big enough a word. It goes to 11. You can't handle the truth. As you wish. I'll have what she's having. I'm your number one fan. You guys wanna see a dead body? The very idea of a bucket list. The West Wing.

Rob Reiner: I'm going to make a coming of age drama, a fantasy adventure story, a romantic comedy, a psychological horror and then a courtroom drama.
Us: Across your entire career?
Reiner: In a 6 year period.
Us: That sounds-
Reiner: -Each one will be arguably the best movie in that genre.

'The bbs has strict impartiality rules'
why is bbc news and current affairs filled with 'gender critical' language, talking points, and dog whistles?
the bbc won't even say 'trans woman' anymore. they go with the ludicrous, and scientifically inaccurate, 'biological male who identifies as a woman'
