Imagine being a Chinese admiral or general who trained your entire life for Gotterdammerung and then France blows up America for you because a senile reality TV show host doesn't understand how the Mercator projection works and therefore thinks Greenland is 87 times the size of the solar system.
Have become quite critical of Macron lately. But for the EU's sole nuclear power this is an important response.

DOJ briefly uploaded this letter from Jeff Epstein to serial child molester Larry Nassar:

"Our president shares our love of young, nubile girls. When a young beauty walked by he loved to 'grab snatch,' whereas we ended up snatching grub in the mess halls of the system."

watching the CECOT 60 Minutes segment that CBS suppressed, it’s striking that Weiss specifically called out as unnecessary some of the most rigorous investigative work in the segment, including an explanation of how it was done (by human rights researchers)

This is a real conversation I had with my dad literally 4 days ago, except he also confused James Cameron for Steven Spielberg 🤣

A federal judge has blocked an age-verification mandate for social media in Louisiana, ruling that the same content can be accessed on unregulated sites, that it chills a huge amount of speech and that tools already exist for parents to block use.

You know, the same arguments FSC made in Paxton.
Louisiana’s age-check law for social media is unconstitutional, federal judge rules • Louisiana Illuminator
The Secure Online Child Interaction and Age Limitation Act calls for all social media sites with more than 5 million users to make “reasonable efforts” to obtain proof of age to establish an account.

1) This is great, unsurprisingly
2) I want to read a version of this for every sport, NFL included

This is a beautiful, moving tribute to an incredible woman whose murder left Minnesota so much poorer.
I met Melissa Hortman in October of 2024. She was smart and kind. I heard about her murder in a LA hotel room and it dropped me to my knees. So I went to Minnesota and talked to her kids, parents, and friends. This is not true crime, this is Melissa in real life. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

I always forget this video is Montreal and not Seattle. The same thing happens here anytime we get real snow.

Reminder, hills and people not prepared for snow are both hysterical and scary.

As I sit here feeding another outdoor cat that could be a stray or someones pet....I get more pissed off.

Stop letting your cats be outdoor.
It's bad for their health.

If you can't handle entertaining your cat indoors, than dont have one.

Just ugh.Pisses me off so much.
Forever anti-outdoor cats.

Puka fuck off
On a livestream yesterday, Puka both:
- Said that the Refs throw flags that they know are bad to brag to their friends in group chats, and
- Told Adin Ross that he'd do a "covetous jew" celebration on his next TD score

Suspend him tbh

On that last post: I genuinely cannot think of any good-faith reason to bar international adoptions from those 39 countries. Under this new ban, consulates will refuse adoption visas for any baby from Cuba, Haiti, Venezuela, Nigeria, or any of the 39 other countries.

Super proud of this one - sometimes in museums we get to do the right thing & correct a historical wrong.

Honoured to have played a part in returning Preben Holger Larsen's remains to Denmark, and I hope sharing our methods helps other museums follow difficult research threads.

The sense you have that something is wrong is good, the urge to fix it is real and useful, but exhausting all that energy here or there is a tragic waste

I think it's important not to misunderstand what these social media platforms are. They are not public arenas where we bravely take on reactionary forces in honorable combat. They are apps that expose you to stress and thereby simulate the feeling of having done something useful
