Spot on! The giant heads are annoying enough on their own but the automatic auto play loop is maddening.

NYT hides behind a very vague assertion that this is a longitudinal study, claiming they follow these same people over time. It's complete shite and serves no purpose at all.

The entire article was out of touch with reality and can basically be summed up as:

If wishes were horses then beggars would ride.

I dunno. Seems pretty clear to me what Kagan’s thinking…

Jamelle, I tend to agree with this. Want to agree. But I saw my parents evolve (devolve) from Massachusetts liberal Dems to Bought It Hook, Line and Sinker Republicans once they got cable and found Fox News. I do think Fox was a huge enabler for developing support for the Tea Party and now MAGA.

I've been thinking a lot lately that we need an underground Resistance movement (think WWII) that can take advantage of rulings like this to fight for this republic.

Ugh just clicked on ad85 to check it out. It’s a friggin bot.

Yup. You and I were exchanging thoughts respectfully but I think I have to be done now because ad85 pissed me off with his last post in which he demands unconditional understanding for John’s condition while being completely blind as to to why black men might be triggered by it. Don’t want to argue.

Seriously??? The other party to this are black men who know a thing about being harassed, attacked, arrested and killed because of the color of their skin. Jesus you’re demanding understanding for one condition but show no awareness of the where the other is coming from.

I know he released a statement but that's kind of distant and impersonal. I think an in person conversation (didn't have to be public) where he could show his heart would have gone better for him. FWIW there are likely millions who are ignorant re tics. Hopefully they've learned.

Yeah, just in time for the midterm elections.
F...ing unbelievable.

Instead of looking at an apology as something based in blame, I look at it as based on caring. His word was unintentional and I think he's likely sad/upset that it happened. And I think he can say that without painting himself as the bad guy.

I think what you're saying weakens disabled people cause it takes away their integrity. This issue has nothing to do with "blame" IMO, it has to do with basic human interaction. You can be sorry that you hurt someone even though what you did was involuntary.

You speak from the heart. It doesn’t have to be public btw. You speak from your heart, to the ones you hurt.

But he does have control over what happens afterwards. So where’s the apology to the two men affected by his involuntary outburst?

No rehabilitation possible without personal will and responsibility. WRT adults there must be an honest remorse, an honest desire to admit to mistakes, to recognize transgressions and a demonstrated desire to truly change one's behavior then a society has every right to censor for the greater good.

Follow you on X?
That's a hard no and your presence there says a lot about you.

While I'm dancing on my table that yet another of the Epstein class is facing legal charges it should be mentioned that Prince Andrew was arrested for sharing UK trade docs with Epstein. No mention I've seen of charges re sex trafficking/sex with a minor.

My husband is English and despite now being a US citizen who's been here over a decade he still has elevenses (not elevensies) during the work week.

You killed me with this one.

Thank you

Did he like the dancing by Epstein’s little girls better? Who’s gonna ask him?

I thought the Foreign Agents Registration Act was no longer being supported by the Trump administration.

So pleased you included the screenshot of the Ross Douthat article. That guy is so nauseatingly self-assured in his deception and gaslighting.

Resist, Resist
Fight back

Please read the whole thread.

Sen Warren, I say this with all due respect: please get yourself a more savvy social media manager.

This is sort of a throughline in cases of excessive force used by law enforcement. The civilian is supposed to perfectly adhere to some unwritten code of conduct; the armed professional supposedly trained for such situations is only human & must be given lattitude if they succumb to fear and rage.

Walz was referring to those who have comitted criminal acts, not immigrants in general.
