I know I’ve been harping a bit on this, but a journalistic institution that would defend a patently absurd and racist claim such as “Chinese women have small fingers” rather than simply admit error and correct is fundamentally unwell.
lol I just got momentarily hysterical thinking about the fact that the New York Times got its managing director for communications to confirm on a Saturday that it is standing by its reporting that young women in China have tiny hands and this is why Apple has its factories there

The case of the healthy young adult male who 'refuses' to work on Medicaid is, in theory, actually totally fine and who cares, the state isn't currently paying anyone to take care of them.

Adriana Smith was a young mom and Emory Hospital nurse who tragically lost her life in February while nine weeks pregnant.
Georgia’s abortion ban is forcing Adriana’s family — against their wishes — to keep her body on a ventilator for 7 months to incubate the fetus.
The cruelty is unfathomable.

Calling it "illegal DEI," Trump issues EO to shut down a program redirecting human waste away from a rural Alabama area regularly flooded with sewage during climate-change-amplified storms.
The area's population is over 72% Black.
