why do we bash "dead beat" children for not being there for their parents but we never question if the parent has bad vibes? or if they're just unpleasant to be around?

I went to grad school in an anthropology dept in the PNW for grad school. The number of people who sent us bones and literal shit tryjng to prove bigfoot’s existence was frankly unacceptable.

I’m going to need everyone who’s reporting on AI psychosis and how it’s making people, especially men, come up with theories of everything to please talk with the scientists who have been getting multiple emails from “theory of everything” guys for decades

As someone who routinely mocks permabullish clickbait oil forecasts, I want to be exceptionally clear: Crude WILL go to $200/bbl, en route higher, unless traffic through the Strait resumes. Not clickbait, but rather brutal physics and necessary economic incentives.

I haven’t seen anyone post that apparently DHS is spitefully pulling back on TSA precheck and GE starting Monday. Love this for me, specifically, who has a 5a flight that would be a breeze through precheck at 415 out of EUG, but will be a long line now. www.reuters.com/world/us/us-...

This is so fucking infuriating. It immediately reminds me of “today you, tomorrow me” .. but like the total opposite.

CCTV footage appears to show DHS agents posing as people having car trouble in order to lure a target out of his house before arresting them. The target comes out and starts helping them before 3 vehicles surround the scene. The car "experiencing" trouble then drives off with them.

kind of funny that an olympian said they are here to represent "compassion, respect, and love for others" and some people automatically knew that was a statement against them

“I don’t feel as though fate looks upon you often, and when it does, you better be ready to seize the opportunity,” said TJ Sabula, the UAW worker who heckled President Trump and who Trump flipped off and cursed at. “And today I think I did that.” Gift link: wapo.st/4sG38CD

Trump tried to overturn an election and keep classified documents as souvenirs so he got federally prosecuted, and he used this to convince his base that law enforcement was weaponized against him — and now weaponizes law enforcement against those he dislikes without them caring.

I breastfed my first child until he was 4 months old. By then, he had dropped to the 4th percentile for weight. The only way to ensure he was getting necessary nutrients was to formula feed him. These people want more dead babies.

RFK Jr: "All of the ingenuity of corporate America has not produced an infant formula that is superior in nutrition and all the qualities that we want to the infant formula that God made, which is the infant formula in a mother's breast."

I think we can safely say that the Leavitt's brother called ICE on his ex, the mother of his child, and I have to say: I have no desire to respect, find common ground or share the country with these monsters.

Love bombing is a manipulative tactic where an abuser showers the victim with excessive affection, gifts, and attention to regain control after a fight or abuse. Recognizing this behavior as a pattern of extreme flattery is crucial to protecting yourself from further manipulation and abuse.

Bold move recalling generals to call them a bunch of fatties. Maybe they'll get so mad they'll do a coup

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Hegseth: "It all starts with physical fitness and appearance. If the secretary of war can do regular hard PT, so can every member of our joint force. Frankly, it's tiring to look out at combat formations and see fat troops. Likewise, it's completely unacceptable to see fat generals and admirals."
