Shapiro assumes that the "crime" being condemned here is violating the norm of filial piety, rather than tacitly endorsing sexual abuse, because that's what he cares about what he assumes everybody else cares about too.

Shapiro pretending like he doesn’t know the difference.

Years ago I watched a documentary about Pablo Escobar and how he used his wealth to control the government and how he acted out when they did oppose him and it's clear that on some level it is the relationship of all billionaires to society, the threat they pose.

Elon absolutely sucks but this is just a preview of the kind of control AI companies are playing for with their push into government, education, and every other industry

Elon Musk, a military contractor and part time member of the Trump administration sabotaged an ally's military operations in retaliation for them bombing the data centers that his social media site/ child porn generator rely on for traffic.

Hell yeah.

Susan Collins on Kavanaugh: "I'm very disappointed in his his vote to overturn Roe v. Wade. There was no way for me to anticipate that."

The thing about Trump's ramblings about Somalians is that they actually aren't different from Reagan's blatherings about welfare queens and it is a mistake to pretend as if this hasn't just been what the Republican party has been for half a century.

In 2017, I wrote about my obsessesion with nun cinema for Cléo: A Feminist Film Journal (RIP). With the re-release of The Devils, I thought it was an appropriate time to reshare the essay, which includes many observations on Ken Russell’s masterpiece. cleojournal.com/2017/04/21/w...

1960s NASA was also overseen by Nazis. That was a pretty significant thing that happened. Like I understand what you're coming from here but in both design and operation they were overseen by several literal, straight from Germany Nazis.

Yes, but there was never a literal fascist Nazi overseeing those rocket companies...

Trump on El-Sayed: "His name is actually Abduladadalalalala. It's Adulbabababababa Mohammed Al-Sayed. So his middle name is Mohammed. So I was right. He's a jihadist."
