People being like, "But Venezuelans are happy about Maduro being gone!" have the memories of goldfish. IN 2003, the narrative was that Iraqis celebrated the U.S. invasion and capture of Saddam.
Whether they were happy or not, invading Iraq was still the wrong thing to do.

This is true and I was the only one on set excited about it (and playing the song on my phone to blank stares)
Just watched the new Knives Out and I think it's really important you know that the scene in the Seminary's Gym is filmed in the same place Rick Astley filmed the music video for Never Gonna Give You Up.
I saw the window tracery and immediately made my friends pause the film so I could tell them.

I think it's important not to misunderstand what these social media platforms are. They are not public arenas where we bravely take on reactionary forces in honorable combat. They are apps that expose you to stress and thereby simulate the feeling of having done something useful

Check out this new #JWST image.
It's another stunning view of the deep universe, but in the box at right is a small, red blob.
That's a galaxy in which a supernova was detected in March.
That galaxy is thirteen BILLION lightyears away. It's the oldest supernova found so far.

So this woman is being interviewed, gently, about the salacious memoir she wrote, and then can’t talk about what she wrote and falls back on the damsel in distress tactic? I cannot believe how do may people elevated her and continue to do so.
