Very few people in my circle of friends knew about her horrific racism and homophobia, so I’ve been sharing the Le Monde piece widely.
Absolutely wild watching every American media org incl progressive ones like NYMag remember Bardot as an animal rights defender and not mention her vicious racism
Meanwhile this article from Le Monde English is how I found out she died
It's hard to overstate how much American media fails Americans

“In the 1990s, after withdrawing from film sets, the star adopted those views and married Bernard d'Ormale, adviser to Jean-Marie Le Pen, founder of the far-right Front National (FN), the precursor to today’s Rassemblement National.”

So glad this dipshit has millions of listeners who somehow have come to believe his is smart about stuff like this.
Yeah, this dum dum is talking about chicken pox.
Anyway, it's very cool and awesome that he has so much cultural and political influence.

One of my favorite things about living in Quincy is my semi-annual tradition of going for a jog past the John and John Quincy Adams houses. Round trip it’s just over three miles. This year, snow and wind made it more challenging, but still a pleasure.

NEW: Riley Gaines, the former collegiate swimmer turned right-wing media figure, made $474,313 last year from the conservative nonprofit org, the Leadership Institute. More striking than her total comp was the way it was structured.

So we shouldn't hold the AG and other DOJ officials accountable for protecting sex offenders?
WELKER: Massie and Khanna say they are looking at options including impeachment and contempt for DOJ officials. Would you support those steps?
KAINE: I think that's premature

Did they not realize this would come out?
Confirmed: House Democratic leaders have decided to use a stock trading ban bill as a campaign issue rather than actually pass something that had the GOP support to advance.
Jeffries' team is actively discouraging participation in the bipartisan bill and warning outside groups too.

A bipartisan solution was gaining momentum, but the House Democratic leader just issued his own bill that will prevent consensus.

Yeah, you don't platform these people.
Re RFK there was a genre of comments and columns like “why didn’t Kamala just treat RFK with more respect” or “why didn’t Kamala accommodate Rogan” and I really hope you can see how that was always a sucker’s bet.

This is going to destroy so many people's lives.
RFK Jr. is going to end CDC recommendations for most childhood vaccines.
It will take a few years before the deaths and disabilities ramp up to a level that even the most vile Republican cannot tolerate.
RFK Jr. will be long gone and unaccountable, as our babies die from preventable illness.

Yet another reason not to give your money to the Times.
David Brooks, who wrote in the NYT last month, "The Epstein Story? Count Me Out" is... in the latest Epstein photo dump published by @oversightdemocrats.house.gov.
He should absolutely be fired by NYT for this. Major conflict of interest that he didn't disclose.

I remember a colleague of mine wrote a really insightful essay about this video and how groundbreaking it was. Such a fun segment.

We also can’t really agree on much of anything.
"Bluesky users want an echo chamber where their arguments aren't challenged" fails as an argument for the simple reason that essentially everyone on Bluesky was a Twitter user before Twitter was purchased by a white supremacist.

"They're in the area around Caracas and to the north, south, east, and west, somewhat."
Where are my unknown unknowns
I still can't believe they're trying to make a war happen out of thin air. Not just their abrogation of Congress's role in formally declaring a war -- that's been a slippery slope for decades -- but their total unwillingness even to go through the motions of drumming up public support.

Absolutely devastated. Reiner brought me down many good memories over the years, one of which was sharing The Princess Bride with my granddaughter who still claims it as her favorite movie. He made do many great movies and did so much good work.
I can’t gather all my Rob Reiner thoughts at this point in the evening, but my very first favorite grown-up movie that was My Favorite Movie, like I went around telling people for years that it was, was THE SURE THING in 1985. A very big part of the romcom switch being flipped for me.

Just brutal. Grok is pushing obvious disinformation about the Bondi Beach mass shooting.
This is fucking grim. Somebody invented a white guy, an "IT professional" named Edward Crabtree, who stopped the Bondi shooting and spread it all over the internet, which was picked up by AI agents and slop aggregation sites.
The real hero is a fruit stand owner named Ahmed el Ahmed.
