Now seems like a swell time to point out that Frontline just released this excellent 11-minute mini-documentary about what happened inside CECOT.

I encourage people posting to stay mindful of the fact that countless real little girls and young women were horribly victimized by the Epstein network—and there are also MANY other survivors reading what is written here.

Non-zero chance Karoline Leavitt does not know President Kennedy is dead... Strong hints of "Frederick Douglass is an example of somebody who’s done an amazing job and is being recognized more and more, I notice."

Shameless self promotion to the Cowichan Valley, heck we have amazing regular customers from Nanaimp all the way to Victoria at our store Beyond The Usual. If you are planning to shop this Christmas, whether our store or not, hope you can shift a big percentage of that locally

True story: Hitler was obsessed with aesthetics and one of the subjects of his ire? Typefaces.
He insisted on using typefaces he considered “classical” and hated modern typefaces developed by the Bauhaus group.

UPDATE: Another Chicago-area church has put up an immigration-themed Nativity scene.
A church member at Urban Village Church sent this one along, where Mary, Joseph and Jesus are gone and replaced with a sign that reads: “Due to ICE activity in our community, the Holy Family is in hiding.”

One thing I always want to ask these masculinity entrepreneurs is why men can’t look to women as role models, and can’t see in women models of human virtue and thriving that are worth emulating. After all, women look to men for these all the time.
Sure, Galloway is better than Peterson
But he still believes the natural order of things requires men to be supreme. Men must protect, provide and procreate. It's dressed in progressive language, but it's fundamentally a patriarchal box to trap men in

An ICE agent was caught removing a sign marking an ICE kidnapping in DC last week! Do we think he did it out of anger, embarrassment, or most appropriately shame? If you think what you’re doing is right, why are you trying to hide the evidence? 👀

One brilliant thing about Twitter was that for a lot of us, it made networking not networking.
You posted about what you were passionate about it, and it had more of a chance to get in front of someone relevant. It wasn't networking, it was caring about something in public.

I made friends with game developers. I did my own work. And it happened. That’s all there is.

the takeaway from the Zohran Trump meeting is that Trump is a gullible fool who will temporarily bend to the last charismatic person he talked to.
Zohran played him perfectly but that doesn’t mean Trump is good now. He’ll go back to fascism tomorrow morning after he talks to Stephen Miller
