Ladies, if you resent your man for cheating on or disrespecting you, have you considered that the real problem is that you’re just not liberated enough?

This is NOT Erika Kirk's company. I do anticipate she’ll drop merch at some point, but this is coming from an unrelated brand with a similar name and other merch companies. Yes, I feel weird I immediately knew this graphic wasn’t aligned with her brand’s aesthetic

Erika Kirk just made content out of Charlie in the casket. His face is not shown, but we see his hands as she kisses them and poses a keepsake eagle medallion next to his torso.
The spectacle is disturbing, grotesque, and fascinating.

Charlie Kirk was 22 when he co-authored his first book. The prologue is mostly him chatting about googling ”famous authors under age 23,” as well as political leaders. He shares some irrelevant fun facts about Mary Shelley and King Tut and laments many young leaders were killed…
At 22, I was listening to David Bowie to help me recover from a devastating breakup, while writing my first book.
At 22, David Bowie was recording some of the greatest music in history.
At 22, Tyler Robinson was committing a pointless public murder.
All 22 year olds can do so much. Choose wisely.

Turning Point USA made a literal watch list of professors, primarily women, queer folks and people of color, and made us targets of political violence. I’ve received hate mail and harassment and death threats off and on for nearly a decade in part due to that man’s organization so 🤷🏽♀️

I considered writing a long carefully constructed argument laying out the harms and limitations of AI, but instead I wrote about being a hater. Only humans can be haters.

I am an AI hater. This is considered rude, but I do not care, because I am a hater.

You’re missing out on top tier (non-existential) drama if you haven’t joined your neighborhood Facebook group. Tonight we’ve had a whole saga over a possibly abandoned duck that got so out of control the original post was deleted and was replaced with an admin tantrum.

This has been a core tension for a long time. Even far-right trad wives, like Lauren Southern have admitted that this lifestyle isn’t realistic— she financially supported her family when her abusive ex decided to not fulfill a “provider” role. But still an enjoyable listen with funny hosts!

I want to turn it off but don’t want to miss anything in the infinitesimally small chance dems grow spines and start throwing fake blood water balloons or something. I dunno show the blood the GOP lusts for on their hands?

“Universities have more power than they are pretending to have in this moment. Their acts of cowardice are baffling. Universities can and should join together and use all tools in their considerable toolbox to fight these attacks on their most vulnerable members.”

Ok, let’s talk about information literacy.
Let’s say something happens. Something big and splashy. Like, say, a Blackhawk helicopter colliding with a passenger airline over the skies of DC.
There’s going to be a period of time in which nobody knows the answers

I live a joyously egg-free life and while there are many easy swaps here are 3 of my faves that each equal 1 egg:
1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce (for cakes I also add 1 tbsp of ACV)
1/2 ripened banana
3 tbsp. of aquafaba (liquid from a can of chickpeas

It’s unsurprising but nonetheless depressing seeing white nationalist influencers posting IG stories of themselves at the inaugural events. Folks who are banned from entering many EU countries but somehow made it to DC…

Exactly this. The entire dance was done specifically to benefit Trump and make sure everyone knows that it's he who "saved" TikTok. It's a very successful PR stunt for Trump.
want to be excruciatingly clear about this: TikTok didn't have to go dark last night and it didn't have to turn back on this morning.
both of those were voluntary moves that the law does not directly touch.

No human should work in such vile and gruesome conditions where it is legal and encouraged to slam baby piglets’ heads into the concrete until they die, turkeys are scalded alive, and humane slaughter means animals throat will be slit but they will still be alive as their flesh is ripped off.
Ok, time to be serious.
We announced some big settlements this week that will help put an end to illegal child labor in meat and poultry processing. Because there are some jobs kids should never do.

A lot of people make choices I find morally reprehensible. I think they’re actively making our society worse. I still don’t want them to be violently murdered.
