The notion that doing anything good in public ever was in itself proof you are actually a bad person because virtue signaling is the worst sin you can possibly commit has to be the most destructive psyop in human history.
I'm seeing a social media trend where people are sneaking pics of men reading books in public and making fun of them as "performative males"

And while I love a good dunk, I don't think you guys want men to be reading even less than they are now. Just saying

Statista does this weird thing where it might be counting DC in its state rankings, not city. Idk if it is even on the city list. It still doesn't break top 10 at 1150.9 (probably top 15?), but it's small geographic size with no other cities to balance it out means this is a weird list to put it on.

So far the people I know who don't usually like superhero movies are recommending Superman

but the 3 superhero fans I've asked said it didn't do anything for them

I've never seen stronger evidence a movie might be good

ICE *already* can't meet their detainment numbers without rounding up children, veterans, people born in the U.S., people with no criminal records, people at immigration hearings, plus academics and visitors with valid visas.

So who do they plan to detain with >10x the budget?

The answer is: you.
If the GOP reconciliation bill passes, ICE gets through FY2029:

- $45 billion for detention, on top of the current annual budget of $3.4 billion
- $14.4 billion for transportation and removal, on top of the current annual budget of $750 million
- $8 billion for hiring/retention
- Billions more.

I guess you could say the people who thought Andrew Cuomo ran a better campaign than Zohran Mamdani were sequestered in echo chambers and out of touch with what people offline wanted out of a candidate

holy shit. Cuomo halted an investigation into the Weinstein case after a donation from Weinstein’s former lawyer’s firm to his reelection campaign…

guys, this was in 2018 AFTER the Weinstein exposés (multiple) had been published & the #metoo movement was ascendant
