Reminded of Gisèle Pelicot in France asserting "shame must change sides."
Brava: “If I don’t file a complaint, then what message does that send to all Mexican women?” Ms. Sheinbaum said at her daily news conference, noting sexual harassment was a crime… “If this can happen to the president, what’s going to happen to all the young women & women across our country?”

Hey, what happened to all those Republican grandstanders talking about Christian persecution?
“In a recent interview with the National Catholic Reporter, Cardinal Blase Cupich of Chicago has also criticized ICE's decision, describing it as ‘a violation of religious freedom’ and emphasizing, ‘There is no harm to the government in allowing us to minister.’”

Your eyes didn't deceive you -- Game 7 really did have the most wild swings all time
Game 7 of the 2025 World Series was one of the wildest, and to some extent that’s expressed as easily as “a deciding World Series game went to extra innings,” which had happened just twice before in b...

Three hops out encompasses so many people that a strike predicated on that degree of association is an indiscriminate strike.
Off the top of my head, in terms of degrees of separation I managed to get from myself to *Jimi Hendrix* in "three hops," this is a WILD assertion to make

All this TS BS is based on the idea one must create more, more, more, faster, faster, faster! It’s not true. The world needs poetry. The world needs journalism. Writers will always create both. Neither will be well supported. Both are worth doing well if done at all. bsky.app/profile/offa...

I have no respect for journalists who willingly and knowingly use TS (Theft Slop) and then want the world to know shocked they are about the results (or clever in their shock), after they have chosen not to do the work themselves or worked with others (fact checkers, copy editors, etc)
I use Claude (an AI) to scan my posts for spelling and grammar errors. On the most recent post (about the East Wing, link below), I got a really amazing addendum.
