Megyn Kelly: "I know somebody very close to this case…Jeffrey Epstein, in this person's view, was not a pedophile…He was into the barely legal type, like he liked 15 year old girls…He wasn't into like 8 year olds…There's a difference between a 15 year old and a 5 year old."

excellent piece on tolkien, the changing faces of d&d, and the history of ~fantasy racism~. good shit in here
The far right is obsessed with Lord of the Rings and Musk keeps posting about "hobbits" because modern scientific racism owes more to fantasy worlds and gaming systems than genetic science, and they see both as effective mediums for right-wing propaganda www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1...

I know there are dozens of worse hypocrisies, but I just find it particularly vile that the guys behind "Sleepy Joe" and "Let's Go Brandon" think anyone who says anything bad about the President should get sued for a billion dollars.

i think this is key. taking the deal would amount to taking the blame. it would turn a clear political victory into an unambiguous defeat.
If the Dems blink after all of this, for a deal that all but ensures no ACA subsidies in 2026 anyway, then what was the purpose of letting the shutdown go for 40 days in the first place?

Some of y'all know @peruvianidol.com from #designsystems stuff. Mike's doing a 24-hour stream raising money a children's hospital. He's ~$1500 away from his goal. It'd be cool if you could help out and pitch in a few bucks.

Was at the drugstore and noticed they make Tylenol PM now.

I hear it’s popular, but I don’t understand why anyone would buy this.

I want my headache fixed NOW, not in 3 quarters when it can get me on the roadmap.
