One of most remarkable US presentations at UN Security Council I've ever seen.
- No reference to UN Charter legal justification
- Claims Panama as precedent (which the UN condemned)
- Energy reserves ⤵️ as justification is illegal
- Sharp contrast with US Ambassador Pickering presentation in 1989

This is not hard. Artists are not responsible for ensuring the Kennedy Center remains relevant and successful. The center’s board is responsible for that, in a fiduciary way. All of this energy being directed at artists should be re-directed at the board.

a suicide note whose existence and content federal authorities appear to have concealed for years while conspiracy theories about Epstein’s death in their custody raged out of control
DOJ briefly uploaded this letter from Jeff Epstein to serial child molester Larry Nassar:
"Our president shares our love of young, nubile girls. When a young beauty walked by he loved to 'grab snatch,' whereas we ended up snatching grub in the mess halls of the system."

The simplest reason why the Trump administration is cutting off SNAP, despite adequate reserves, is that they hate the program and don't care about the people who depend upon it.
They are breaking the law not to provide SNAP while also enforcing the "equal treatment rules" to hurt SNAP users.

The USDA sent an email to grocery stores telling them they are prohibited from offering special discounts to customers affected by the SNAP funding lapse.

there’s a point in this interview where chatterton says that his views on race issues have cost him some professional opportunities. probably true in a vacuum, but it’s a weird thing to say when his views on race are the foundation for his entire career.
"25 percent of the black male vote he got. This is the least racially polarized election since the 1970s. He has a multiethnic coalition behind him." And at least some of it is driven by the toxicity of the Democratic brand and not love of Trump.
