Multiple waves of russian drones encircle Kyiv, with Kinzhals and cruise missiles aiming to cripple Ukraine's energy system right now.
russia commits a crime against humanity aiming to freeze the entire Ukrainian nation into capitulation — that's "peace" brought by red carpet summits.

seriously it's one of the most striking things to me about being middle-aged is just how young ppl in their 20s and early 30s look.
like i'll watch an old tv show that i watched as a kid and all the characters look like babies now. 😭

the thing that always baffles me about when ppl start quibbling over age-of-consent or whatever is that as a 41 year old most 25 year old's look like teenagers to me. so even that seems gross.
i don't understand why anyone in middle-age would think 'sure they are 18 so its fine' let alone 15. 🤷♀️

15-year-olds aren’t “barely legal.” There is no such thing as “underage women” they’re fucking CHILDREN.

It’s very enervating to watch intelligent and educated people play dumb about this amidst the ascendance of a far-right reactionary movement driven by antisocial Silicon Valley psychos and Miami crypto scammers who all treat women as status symbols on the same level as NFTs and Labubus.
he’s a provider of access to money, connections and beautiful women and girls — everything that these people need to affirm their own status. being rich and powerful is a grift which requires other to bolster & buy in. That’s the service Epstein provided.
Something that’s so striking in these emails is how…unimpressive Epstein is. He comes off as a pompous, sub-literate lech. Yes everyone is so mortifyingly solicitous of him! All fawning and flattery! Why?????

As @flyingrodent.bsky.social has pointed out repeatedly, the Harvey Weinstein scandal directly challenged the elite impunity and degeneracy that Jeffrey Epstein typified, and the response was a deranged, all-channels backlash to make clear such uppity behaviour wouldn’t be tolerated from the plebs.
Extra maddening because we are currently living through the backlash to #MeToo, which was attempting to address precisely behaviours and attitudes like this! We are living in the reaction to a movement that attempted to confront this mysterious behaviour head on!

The idea that sexual abuse is part of “private” life instead of a public crisis has done incalculable damage. Anti-rape activists have to fight to even make it possible to expose sexual abuse as a wrongdoing in public without being silenced and undermined. That fight is far from won

This actually is probably correct in a certain way. Punishing women for their existence and operating under the VERY standard medical belief that women are required to be in pain and they should just endure it is a reasonable explanation for why MAHA would come out against pain medication.
JD Vance is working for Big Menstrual Cramps and maybe that's not even a joke
JD Vance calls ibuprofen "useless medication" and implies it's not "necessary, safe and effective."

I had a uterine biopsy last month and omg it was so painful, I wanted to scream. Afterwards they told me people usually do scream. There is no way they would put men through that pain. Next month I have a colonoscopy and I'm grateful it's something men do too, because it means I get anesthesia.

The Epstein story gets a something that is tearing at the heart of the electorate: elite impunity. The idea that wealthy and powerful people can do terrible things *at scale* and face no consequences for them. Whatever political party actually stops it could rule the country for a generation.
