there's a scene where carolyn asks jfk jr if he wants to be POTUS and he says, "i don't want to be president. i don't want to be a great man. i just want to be a good man and a good husband." and those are words that have never come out of any kennedy's mouth ever.

i read "the kennedy imprisonment"

Helluva way for the president to refer to dead soldiers β€” soldiers killed in a war he started.

i am back to working on my big lanolin post that also doubles as my grand dissertation on how miserable the sonic fandom has gotten in part thanks to algorithmic social media and how it's made talking about the idw comics online suck ass, which i've been poking at for like a year now

I planned to share my report on the body cam footage early next week when I learned that a DC news station had obtained some of the footage as a result of my lawsuit and they were going to scoop me. After working on this for a year, I couldn't let that happen. Published 2 mins before they aired :)

No, Looker is not dead.
No, he's not Doctor Who and he's officially not inspired by him either.

Judge says Kari Lake’s tenure atop US media agency was improper, voids actions as β€˜acting CEO’ U.S. District Judge Royce Lamberth concluded that her ascension was an illegal end-run around the Senate’s advice and consent role.

Kari Lake has lost three out of her last two elections.

WSJ: Sen. Graham says he pushed Trump toward Iran strikes with help from Israel ShareSen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) says he met with Israeli intelligence officials several times in the weeks before the war with Iran and advised Israeli Prime Minister…

For ten years, people, people were like, "What does Trump have on Lindsey Graham?!"

And I'd say, "Shit. Graham is even more bloodthirsty than Trump."

Today we observed six shackled detainees being loaded onto the ICE Air flight at MSP. They're heading to El Paso, where conditions are so horrific, staff gamble on who the next prisoner to commit suicide will be.

The man walking from right to left at the beginning of the clip is dragging shackles.

Oil prices could come down but oil products have been full disrupted. The refining and petrochemical supply chains will take a long time to recover. Consumers are going to suffer for a longer time than the White House understands.

I get yelled at for saying this but for many hundreds of years people went to university not to get diplomas or be employable but because immersion in the humanities was considered foundational to a good life, and school must return to its original purpose: the joy of learning.

Gavin Newsom vetoed a 2023 bill that would have stopped the unscrupulous practice of county governments using foster children's benefit checks (e.g. social security survivor benefits) to reimburse themselves.

The bill was sponsored by @ib2real.bsky.social, himself a former foster child.

A screenshot from the website youraislopboresme.me where I have put in the prompt "what does a bear read while they're pooping in the woods?" And the ai (a human pretending to be an ai) has responded "my sources say that they read yaoi"

Spider Punk is hanging onto a pipe attached to a building with his feet comfortably planted against the wall, looking into the distance. He makes the famous Spider-Man hand gesture of his thumb, index, and pinky finger stretched out.

The former diplomat Carne Ross observed in September 2015 in The New York Times:[181]

For a former diplomat like me, I found it confusing: I kept looking for a hierarchy, the singular leader, or signs of a government line, when, in fact, there was none; there were just groups. There was none of that stifling obedience to the party, or the obsequious deference to the "big man"β€”a form of government all too evident just across the borders, in Turkey to the north, and the Kurdish regional government of Iraq to the south. The confident assertiveness of young people was striking.

region's administration has also been accused by partisan and non-partisan sources of authoritarianism, media censorship, forced disappearances, support of the Ba'athist regime, Kurdification, and displacement.

At the same time, DAANES has also been described by partisan and non-partisan sources as the most democratic system in Syria, with direct open elections, social equality, respecting human rights within the region, as well as defense of minority and religious rights within Syria.

DAANES has widespread support for its universal democratic, sustainable, autonomous, pluralist, equal, and feminist policies in dialogues with other parties and organizations.

In March 2017 the "United Nations Independent International Commission of Inquiry on Syria" was unable to find evidence to substantiate claims about ethnic cleansing, stating:

Though allegations of "ethnic cleansing" continued to be received during the period under review, the Commission found no evidence to substantiate claims that YPG or SDF forces ever targeted Arab communities on the basis of ethnicity, nor that YPG cantonal authorities systematically sought to change the demographic composition of territories under their control through the commission of violations directed against any particular ethnic group

God its so funny how hard Turkey+the US tried to do a smear campaign accusing Rojava of authoritarianism and ethnic cleansing to justify attacking them

but then the UN/human rights orgs investigated and are like "...this is a bunch of anarchists who are almost neurotically obsessed with equality"

little hesitant here bc I don’t want to downplay how much safer you are if you’re white, but folks this woman was Norwegian. her whiteness didn’t save her. if you think you are completely safe from this regime due to who you are, you’re wrong.
