It isn’t that so many of the world’s most powerful men happen to be sexual sadists. It is that at a certain level of power, what obscenity is left but to violate the most vulnerable? Wealth shifts the baseline of morality until what is possible is acceptable. With enough money, anything is possible.

Because they're armed with knowledge about the function of Cop30 and How Stuff Works?
Cop30 was meant to be a turning point, so why do some say the climate summit is broken?

Swamped by lobbyists and hobbled by a lack of urgency, there are fears Cop could become a sprawling spectacle that betrays those who depend on it most

One of the most baffling moments from Roger Ebert's negative review of Blue Velvet is when he takes offense to what David Lynch asked of Isabella Rossellini and cites Last Tango In Paris as a positive comparison aka the film where both leads publicly said they felt sexually abused by the director

The irony here is that academics don’t just write the articles for free—we also referee and edit for them for free. Something is deeply broken.

Good ploy from Australia to either:
a) win the Test without Cummins and Hazlewood, shattering England confidence
or
b) lose it, but be able to say ‘engh, you beat a team without Cummins and Hazlewood - you must be soooooo proud of yourselves’
Next level stuff. England in tatters. #Ashes 🏏

Dear Americans, even if your current rapist president did fellate your former sexual harasser-in-chief, one gay consensual blow job is not scandalous - the genocide these creeps are running and their pedophile rape island shenanigans easily top the rotten shit cake you lot call the status quo.
