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

There's so much else wrong with this stupid lawsuit but on this specific point: despite being "busy" with "lives" and "jobs," Alaskans were able to spell M-U-R-K-O-W-S-K-I when they reelected her to the Senate as a write-in candidate in 2010 after she lost the GOP primary.

Obviously this is racist and gross, but it's also shockingly historically illiterate? No one who has taken a single high school world history course would deny that Arab culture has produced incredible science and literature. This is why we need basic humanities education.

timeline cleanser: Jair Bolsonaro getting attacked by bees

Either an animation of a hand in a black sleeve appeared on my screen and pointed at a typo on a tweet I was writing on my iPhone, or I just had some kind of a stroke.

I love owls.

the problem with Trump going scorched earth on Bill Maher is now Bill Maher will get to claim that, see, he's still a truth teller, unafraid of angering the powerful. even though, in his heart, he's devastated.

every fawning profile of an AI innovator in the NYT is just a future essay in The Cut about why kids no longer talk to their parents

my Portuguese isn't great but I think I can work this out

David A. Hardy ‘Planet of Beta Lyrae’ from The New Challenge of the Stars by Patrick Moore & David A. Hardy, 1977

Apparently, some Houston voters are putting their I Voted stickers on the Lorenzo Salgado Araujo memorial. Stephen Miller is ALREADY trying to scapegoat others for losing whatever races they lose in Texas and elsewhere. This is a vivid testament that for some voters, his murder squad is the reason.

LOL this fuggin guy

Ok 1) it is not ok the president of the United States is this psychotic about anything and would devote even a fraction of his precious minutes to issuing a weird cultural fatwa against an hbo late night dipshit but 2) he is correct about Bill Maher being unbearably bad at comedy

One of my favorite dumb right-wing beliefs is that liberals love Bill Maher and they all want to hug him and kiss him.

So here we have far-right militia attacking protestors and when the protestors defend themselves, the police charges them... Montpellier. These images are crazy and show where France is at regarding its fascist turn.

not sure what that is but cock too big

He’s such a racist piece of shit

there’s no such thing as “strategic bigotry.” I know this because there is no amount of money you could pay me to become a bigot. the democrats who do this agree to do it because they’re bigots

Anti-trans Democrats are spreading poison when we can least afford it, during elections in this ongoing fascist takeover. As a strategy, it’s a recipe for failure. As a moral stand, it’s reprehensible. PS I’m the father of young trans woman and I’ll never forgive anyone who makes her life harder.

Some cities it's just not worth fucking with

That makes sense.

I get being a responsible adult. But every day? Every single day? That just seems unnecessary.

Q: Now that you know the backstory about Amy Acton's mom and her stepfather who was indicted for rape, does that change your mind about the ad? Trump: No. To me it's very easy.

"The Jews who went to Mississippi didn't take selfies and post tweets." Okay, but honestly, if tweets had been a thing in 1961, many of them probably would have done.
