Old Kinsale Head and Hook Lighthouse have joined the SLATED Landmark Collection.
Two meticulously crafted icons with so much quiet luxury they practically whisper.

Jeffrey Epstein had 1,571 names of contacts in his little black book.
Fewer than 40 names—just 2.4%—were circled.
Donald Trump’s was one of them.
Epstein had 14 phone numbers for Trump. Fourteen ways to reach him.
If that’s not “being on the Epstein List,” what the f*ck is?

JD Vance's rant today placing the blame on immigrants for America's housing shortage is straight from the fascist playbook. Consider this 1938 card, "Housing Shortage Is the Fault of the Jews."

you could fact check this — there aren’t 30 million illegal immigrants and there is no evidence that the presence of an immigrant in say houston has any impact on housing in madison, wisconsin — or you could note straightforwardly that this is just nazi rhetoric
JD Vance: "A lot of young people are saying housing is way too expensive. Why is that? Because we flooded the country with 30 million illegal immigrants who were taking houses that ought by right go to American citizens."

The existence of trans people is not an "ideology", BBC. It is a reality and one which Parliament has recognized.
(Entirely typical of the BBC that, confronted by a populist right attack, they will show willing by dumping on trans people. Weak with the strong, strong with the weak, as always.)

I loved this conversation with Andi, and tried to get at something important that I think has been lost: feminism is a discrete ideology, and has a more specific meaning than “anything any woman ever says about gender.”
![The vagueness and nonspecificity that characterize “Did women ruin the workplace?” are hallmarks of right-wing rhetoric, says Moira Donegan, a Guardian columnist and writer-in-residence at Stanford’s Clayman Institute for Gender Research who co-hosts the podcast “In Bed With the Right.” “One revealing thing about the conversation is that you can tell these people are in an epistemic bubble where they’re not being challenged on what they’re saying. [They] presume a kind of intellectual entitlement where these are not words you have to make your audience understand. It’s one thing to do that when you’re at the National Conservatism Conference; it’s another when you’re in The New York Times.” Donegan adds one more term to the list, pointing out that the conversation “uses ‘feminism’ as a euphemism for ‘women,’ rather than defining feminism as a set of political commitments or ideals. [When] it’s espoused by a woman and is about gender, that’s presumed to be sufficient to define it as feminism.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:sdu4rudzew7rtf26u5o4bdf7/bafkreiewwm3xmwvvxkqspo6ao6seoro5bcmynxh4imtcfhtbr54gxb7bgm@jpeg)
