Lolita stuff, gross, etc
But the other takeaway here is that apparently Larry Summers' wife is the only one in the whole cabal who can put together a coherent sentence?

On top of everything side, this man was abusing the High Importance flag into utter meaninglessness
Huge thank you to @paulgp.com for making these emails accessible. Y'all, this is Joi Ito, of MIT fame, who ran a fund called Neoteny and fled to Japan when all this broke, joking with Epstein about being deposed regarding his relationship with Trump in 2016.

As all this disgusting Epstein shit starts surfacing more and more, I hope we don't lose sight of the fact that apparently every major media outlet knew everything and instead spent their time money and energy attacking the trans community.

We are going to reach the heat death of the universe before "Clinton + Ken Starr" becomes an irrelevant news search parameter
Republican legal icon and Clinton scourge Ken Starr signs off a touching note to Jeffrey Epstein with "hugs." Amazing.

I am calling upon the people of Ireland to immediately begin construction of a thread on this site about how you or someone you know was roasted for a fashion choice. We need it.
All roasts must have come from Irish people *only*. Please respect this important rule, it makes a difference.

Incidentally, this is why I’m against strict spelling. Words should be spelled the way they sound & we spell words as if we’re speaking Middle English for ridiculous class reasons
In ME you’d pronounce the k in “knight” but some dumbass needed to prove he was cool & now we have a literacy problem

ever since I learned about three-cueing I've developed infinitely more patience for replies on social media. mfers literally do not know how to read. people are walking around conjuring random meanings into words they don't know, and they don't know a lot of words. it's crazy

i fully agree with this theory and in my actual field, british architectural history, The Problem is that Salisbury Cathedral is built on top of a lake and no i am not exaggerating
between this and the FSO Safer (another ship at serious risk of exploding) I’m convinced every field has its “yeah, this is the problem that keeps me up at night” and I’m on a quest to learn about all of them

An office comedy where we spend 2 hours following the on-boarding of a new Bond. He meets Moneypenny, gets his door badge, learns how to use the interoffice mail, sets a new computer password, the running joke is that no one will tell him what happened to the last guy
James Bond’s death in No Time to Die is causing a nightmare for the next film. Writers are stuck because Bond “was blown to pieces.”
Anthony Horowitz, author of three 007 novels, says:
“You can't have him wake up in shower and saying it was all a dream."

Not one thing you should base a life on, barely even anything you should waste an afternoon on. Your life plan would be better off from scrolling TikTok for however long it takes to read them. If reading a real book isn't an option.

The Edmund Fitzgerald was the last.
The last. In 50 years, not a single commercial freighter has been lost in the Great Lakes.
Why?
It's NOAA. Of course it's NOAA.

This is why I just don't eat out anymore. I can make it better AND cheaper at home, it'll be a quieter and calmer environment, and Sysco was nowhere near any of it?

The restaurant where I order my poke bowl changed their ingredients and upped the price. So I get less fresh food, more ultra processed crap, AND I have to pay more for that 🙄
So fine, I bought everything I need to make them now because fuck that shit
Like $25 for a rice bowl like come on

Another species no longer on the global Endangered list:
Humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae).
A few decades after a Star Trek movie where the central conflict was the total extinction of the humpback, their numbers are rising fast enough to put them at "Least Concern" on the IUCN Red List.

I'm not a hardliner on term limits but this man is older than my father, has been in the Senate since before I could vote, has been in Congress since before I could reliably WALK on my own, and MAYBE THAT'S NOT GREAT.
Whoa -- Sen. Durbin went to up Leader Thune during the vote last night to tell him that on the shutdown vote and ACA promise that "8 of us are sticking our neck out that you're going to keep your word. I hope you will. He said 'I assure you I will,'" Durbin says just now

Btw if your state did disburse SNAP at all? Trump is demanding they take it back off.

Nuremburg trials is the moderate position
He said that the agents would throw food at them to eat. The agents threatened to withhold food for a week and to beat him up if he didn't sign deportation papers. He said he saw others refuse and get beaten/receive no food. He signed because he was afraid.

No retail establishment has yet hired an employee that can defeat my skill at avoiding eye contact.
"Store employees are now required to smile if they are within 10 feet of a shopper.
They also must make eye contact with and wave to or greet the customer.
If they’re within four feet, the employee should ask how the customer’s day is going or if they need help."
🙄 Won't stop the boycott, y'all.

As the holiday season fast approaches, Target is urging its employees to add a little more “jolly” to their work routine.

I spent the entire book wanting to throw Victor out a high window after thoroughly insulting his manhood, but, sadly, Victor is fictional.
Victor Frankenstein has just spent an inordinate amount of time explaining why his misery and guilt at having caused the death of two people dear to him is SO MUCH WORSE than the deaths of these people, and I want to shake him so hard his teeth rattle.

A family friend was telling us about what her husband shared about his experience in Broadview before he was deported back to Mexico. She's been sharing to friends and family because she's just in disbelief & horror what her husband told her. She wasn't able to talk to him until he was in Mexico.
