I emailed Patrick Healy, assistant managing editor for standards and trust at NYT, to ask why their story about a House report with new details of rape allegations against the President of the United States included neither those details, nor a single use of the word "rape." archive.is/1s9AM

My dog just swallowed a bag of Scrabble tiles, so I took him to the vet. No word yet.

Beyond disgusted by even more rape allegations against the President of the United States. "In total, more than 25 different women...have independently accused Donald Trump of rape, sexual assault, or other sexual misconduct." Report w/ new details: democrats-judiciary.house.gov/sites/evo-su...

“It’s no use trying to stop me. I am no longer a human being, I am an idea that floats in the air. An idea that mingles with your ideas. When I stop dreaming, I will dream through your minds. The powerful may kill one, two, or three roses, but they will never be able to stop the arrival of spring"

I’m not a political journalist, so was gladly surprised at the community I found here last night. To Americans anxious about the upcoming elections, a key thing we learned in Brazil that might help you: DO NOT engage with the far-right online. Don’t share rage bait. Amplify your people. Ignore them.

I think the lesson from Lula is not never talk about the opposition; it's articulate a positive vision that's basically, We Can Just Do Things. That's why Mamdani-ism is so popular - voters have an intrinsic sense that their electeds have agency they're not using

Fuck David Eby. The only tiny consolation here is at least he'll go down in history as one of the greatest boneheads Canadian politics ever produced. He'll be a cautionary tale. Anytime a charmless jackass shoots themself in the foot, they'll be pulling an Eby.

DAVID EBY ANNOUNCES HIS RESIGNATION AS LEADER OF THE NDP

This 19th c lady’s multitool was found in the pocket(!) of an antique (1872) garment donated to the historic clothing archive at my employer. It features a button hook for fitted gloves and a tiny corkscrew. The corkscrew is too small for wine & was probably intended to open apothecary bottles.

OUCH. Bloc Québécois MP @patbonin.bsky.social absolutely clears the environment minister in this clip on Bill C-39. My translation: “It’s sad to see the minister who is giving the impression of wanting to convince herself that the bill that’s directly under her purview isn’t a disaster.

The abject terror I felt at hearing Shaggy's normal speaking voice

cheating on ur wife with this tattoo is fucking psychotic

And Eby is the guy who opened the gates.

the worse things get, the funnier it becomes that Papa Roach summoned the angst to write “Last Resort” in the year 2000

Good morning. Here's the new sequel to our Life Surge investigation. It involves Tim Tebow, internal financial documents, and now Sage Steele: youtu.be/3PUGjIKtD00?...

It would be deeply ironic if the election of a BC Conservative government, and the ensuing war with First Nations in that province, scuttled the oil pipeline so many Conservatives in BC claim to support.

THIS IS VERY FUN AND SHOULD BE LEGAL 😂😂😂

This week's #ThirtiesThursday garment is this Schiaparelli London haute couture rosebud and polka-dot printed crêpe ensemble, dating from 1936-38. The dress bodice is formed from five horizontal panels with a plastic zip in the back. Sold by Kerry Taylor Auctions. #fashionhistory

Having a record Monet auction in Paris while the entire country is paralyzed with an education funding crisis seems a little too on the nose

Thank you to the driver of this Ford Explorer for making my day.

America is always talking about pulling yourself up by your bootstraps then punishing folks for doing it.

I looked up this guy's church and the website has no photos. So I looked up the address and it's suite 100 in this multi-unit "flex center." Oh.

The GRU hacks Kushner. You know who Trump won’t criticize? The GRU.

US garment workers helped pioneer multi-ethnic labor unions, which united people across racial, religious, gender, linguistic, and cultural divides. Also native-born citizens and immigrants. I think about that sometimes when I see people suggest such divides are unbridgeable.

For this week's #WeddingWednesday, here's a 1957 dress ny Norman Hartnell, which was worn by Mrs Laurel Heath when she married Mr Gerald Albertin in London. Her first husband died the previous year from the Mille Miglia automobile race where a crash killed drivers and spectators.

someone sent me a british columbia government simulation game, and i don't know if it's "good" or "accurate" or "objective" but after 20 minutes i know that it's "addictive" and "a problem if i want to do a good job on election night" governbc.ca

The IDF just detained the man who’s about to be elected US Congressman for NY’s 10th district, per his social media.

You click the 'Goth Ross' video because you think it's going to be an S tier parody and top quality shit post and then it turns out to be an insanely talented artist painting little melancholy clouds. There are no accidents, only unfortunate mistakes. (Z-Ro Art)
