Benito is a threat b/c he makes art so alluring and enjoyable you want to understand everything about it and then you end up learning about sugar and slavery and colonialism and the Taínos and Hawaii and then you probably have some thoughts of your own, and that's why art is powerful and dangerous

“Are you really going to tell one of the legends of the sport, someone who came out of retirement and almost immediately re-established herself one of the best in the world, that she can’t have this chance? Please.”
It ended disastrously and gruesomely, with images and sounds that will be hard to shake. But who are we to second guess Lindsey Vonn for trying?

Lindsey Vonn went for it. Who are we to second-guess?
Vonn has lived her life audaciously, and Sunday we saw an all-time skiing talent trying desperately, maybe too desperately, to win a race the rest of us just wanted her to finish.

“the Epstein class” should be THE tagline tbh. it’s so accurate their only defense is redactions, and it captures a hundred different linked evils at once. it also perfectly clarifies why trying to distinguish btw “kitchen table issues” (ie money) and “identity politics” (ie misogyny) is impossible
Ossoff: We were told that MAGA was for working-class Americans. But this is a government of, by, and for the ultra-rich. It’s the wealthiest Cabinet ever. This is the Epstein class. They are the elites they pretend to hate.

It is really infuriating to see how misogyny really does unite men across the sociopolitical spectrum. And, in so far as the Epstein files go, they sort women into two categories: fuckable or irrelevant. When they near a hint of accountability they complain about not being able to make women prey.

This debate or discourse or discussion about why Bezos is dismantling WaPo or whether or not more subscriptions or boycotts could change things or how he could fund it easily is pointless. It’s moot.

So the Epstein files dump
1. Protected a lot of predictors
2. Created another partisan food fight.
3. Failed to create any obvious pathway for these women to get accountability.
4. Included a number of clearly unverified claims that can be used to undermine the very legit emails

it’s not necessarily that all these people in the epstein files participated in the raping of girls it’s that none of them cared and if he hadn’t been arrested and died they’d still be out there trying to be his friend

Wow, the White House is so shaken by the turn in the public mood that they thought Chuck Schumer might actually rise up and "seize this moment" to get meaningful concessions.
That's how panicked they are. They thought Chuck Schumer would do something.

Can’t believe it’s been 40 yrs since Space Shuttle Challenger & 7 astronauts were lost in an explosion after liftoff. Teenage me was home for a snow day. A memory I will never forget.
Per NWS Melbourne, that date remains the coldest on record at several locations around NASA’s KSC Launch Complex.

A big part of the story here is that women like Renee Good are braver and stronger than they could have ever imagined and that just doesn't fit with what MAGA men tell themselves about how gender works. It just does not compute.
