I know it's worse for women but I'll just say that I feel this too. There's something so degrading & wearying & ... fraying about being constantly confronted with mean, ugly, brutish people. I want to feel solidarity toward humanity, I want to feel hope, & this shit just chips away at it.
Rebecca Solnit@rebeccasolnit.bsky.social · 14h agoIt's demoralizing living in a nonstop Abuse-a-thon: we've had to learn the sordid details of so many men's abhorrent behavior; I mean this summer has been Graham Platner, Andrew Tate, Jared Leto, Max Miller, plus the horrific L.A. rape-murder of the child by the rapper, to name a few lowlights.
Can’t decide if I wanna laugh or barf more. The guy is amazing.

Days before the death of Edwin Jeovanny Lopez Cornejo, ICE officials did not report the death of another man who’d been detained at Delaney Hall — because they had technically “released” him in the middle of a medical emergency, Rep. Rob Menendez (D-NJ) alleged. www.huffpost.com/entry/delane...

By almost any reasonable standard, Abdul is wildly different than Platner— he’s not an unknown, he’s thoroughly vetted, there’s no allegations or hint of ugliness. The murmured equivalencies were embarrassing for the writers who deployed it.
Snowden St.@snowden.st · 22h agoI'm not irritated by Dirty Work, just by people who buy it. And the "AES is Platner" articles and insinuations were dirty work, and some folks who traded in it are absolute Suckers who should not be heeded going forward.
Phang: "Capital One said, 'We don't want the business anymore of the 45th president of the United States, his businesses, his failed sons, and his revocable trust.' So you can imagine -- I am just hypothesizing... but it suggests whatever Capital One uncovered was pretty bad. Makes you wonder..."
They are the Epstein Party. Every single one of them.

The vast majority of cases begin in the fallopian tubes — and removing them can reduce the risk by nearly 80 percent.

NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani has unveiled a new plan to cover 30% of the city with trees by 2040. And I’m quite positive that MAGA lunatics are losing their collective shit over the idea of more nature instead of dirty poisonous coal.
Poor Jeanine Pirro. It’s always sad when a vicious liar loses their job because they unscrupulously tried to ruin the life of an innocent American hero to appease the most repellent man in America. Drink up, sweetie.
