A year ago, Kenneth Turan's collection of some 4,000 books, acquired one by one over decades, turned to smoke and ash in the Palisades fire.
The question, Turan writes, was “whether it made sense, in my late 70s, to begin collecting all over again”:

Scott Adams: “The best advice I would give to white people is to get the hell away from Black people…
So I think it makes no sense whatsoever as a white citizen of America to try to help Black citizens anymore.”
This is who JD Vance and Trump are celebrating today.

when you are asked to imagine a world without ICE, you're basically being asked to remember where you were when Lilo & Stitch came out

they didn’t leak it to make the shooter look innocent, but to make the victim look guilty. not guilty of a crime. guilty of having a visibly queer wife. guilty of liberalism. guilty of opposing the regime. they don’t seek to exonerate themselves, only to demonstrate who deserves to die.
In the video that the shooter took, which I believe was leaked to be exculpatory, he appears to yell “fucking bitch” after he shoots Renee Good.

WELL NOW, would you look at that? A massive, 24-YEAR-LONG study of MORE THAN 1.2 MILLION people in Denmark found NO LINK between aluminum in childhood vaccines and autism, asthma, OR chronic disorders.
Aluminum is an ADJUVANT.
It ENHANCES your immune response to a vaccine.
That’s it.
