There are more Cornell frat boys accused of raping one woman than there are trans athletes competing in all of NCAA sports.
The Voluptuous Horror of Melania Trump.
Look at this photograph.
The Wash. Post would like us to remember the pain of the concentration camp officers who are sad they can’t abduct and torture people anymore— because they got fired for being shitty cops. Story CW: suicide. Also CW the detainees dying/ taking their lives in despair not mentioned in this story.
Save this to send to every overconfident asshat so certain this one election will make everything ok.
And if the way you fight against concentration camps is to yell at trans people to stop caring about their own personal safety? Literally go do anything else. Go protest an ICE facility. Go organize mutual aid for impacted communities. Go make whistle kits and go distribute them.
What would Dolly drink at a time like this? I don't think she drank a lot. But this is her recipe, written with her sister, Rachel. May we meet you further on down the dirt road, Dolly: www.thekitchn.com/dolly-parton...

It’s simple math, really. Harvard had to lay off the entire Women and Gender Studies staff and fire 5 lecturers to reinvest that $2.2 Billion in SpaceX. www.thecrimson.com/article/2026...

Two CA professors and their teenaged son, held indefinitely in hellish conditions because of something the father's mother did before any of them were born. The US is refusing to even allow them to self-deport.
Today in @thenation.com: a harrowing piece written from inside the Dilley ICE detention center by Maryam Tahmasebi, a green card holder who's been locked up along with her husband and son for months despite none of them committing any crime. www.thenation.com/article/soci...
“F the AARP for sending a membership card for my birthday,” I say, pulling a Werther’s hard candy out of my pocketbook.
Last night I dreamed I was watching a movie called “Starship.” I slowly realized all the dialogue was derived from Jefferson Starship lyrics, which made my dream self extremely angry.

To be a historian is to speak ill of the dead and the rest of you should take more history classes and join us.
When someone who consistently does and says terrible things dies, it's helpful. It means that they can no longer do and say terrible things. It's a form of cleansing the world. That's a positive thing.
The fascist project potentially being brought to a stuttering halt because its biggest enablers are ancient, dust-filled windbags who die in office is possibly the funniest thing that could happen to this decrepit republic
The speed with which Greenidge lost EVERYTHING. The second half of the review raises serious citations questions, but the first half suggests a reviewer with a major axe to grind re: daring to question the sanctity of white women abolitionists. Scholars who have done far worse still kept their jobs.
The thing is, the NYT absolutely *does* participate in racially-motivated smear campaigns against Black scholars. The instigators of these campaigns are proudly open about both their racist intentions and how easily they get outlets like NYT to do their bidding www.nytimes.com/2026/07/10/b...

Only folks who watched NYC Public Access will get this, but I am reminded of a late night ad for a niche-market telephone sex line: “the extra E is for extra…”

Loved the New York Post article claiming "it's over" for Mamdani as if there isn't an entire cultural touchstone on powerful or leading men getting wet in their (regency) white shirts when overcome with emotion.
