"One more thing Miss Barlow... you were about 14 in 2001, and you grew up in the UK, so why did they dismiss your school at noon on 9/11, when the attacks would have happened around 2 pm your time? I just don't understand how the school knew the attacks would be happening later"

A helpful key here for understanding what wingnuttery is and how it works, here. I 100% guarantee you this did not happen and that the boys she’s talking about - she later clarified they were “Pakistani” - do not exist. And yet, I can also assure you Eve is *absolutely convinced* she saw this.

On 9/11, school was dismissed at noon. My mother came to collect me because the school bus wasn't running. We went home and watched the television all day and all night. The next day I returned to school. Everyone was sad except a certain group of young boys in the corner of my form class. They were celebrating like it was the greatest day of their lives. I will never forget.

HOLY SHIT DUDES fucking with the environment is now not just a sin (which Francis also said), it is classed as a direct fuck-you to God and a central tenet of the reasoning is the need to care for "our common home," i.e. you are morally obligated to think about the other people who also live here

More war crimes: In its fourth strike on water infrastructure, the US has destroyed two water tanks in Sirik, Iran, completely cutting off water distribution in all villages of the Bemani district and the city of Kohstak, the Hormozgan Water and Sanitation Authority says.

The Sorcerer is a divisive piece of cave art. Henri Breuil found and sketched it in the 1920s, claiming it is the first depiction of a god, but many argue his drawing doesn't reflect the weathered paint. Yet some say it depicts something real. Something the people of this cave worshipped, or feared.

Sketch of a piece of cave art. It shows a humanoid figure standing crounched. It has a tail, long deer-like ears and antlers. Its face appears bearded, with two small eyes. Its arms, legs and genitals appear human.Photograph of a cave, open to the outside via a hole in the ceiling. Below it walks an enormous humanoid figure. Its body is partially furry and deer-like, with huge antlers. Its eyes glow green in the shadow. It holds an entire tree trunk as a staff in its left arm.

Every year or so the CIA comes out and says “yeh, we did that thing that local people thought we did at the time” and a bunch of Liberals say “wow, good thing the CIA doesn’t do that anymore” until 50 years later when the CIA admits they’re still doing it, then the cycle repeats.

For the first time, documents confirm the CIA carried out tests on North Korean POWs and planned for much more invasive experimentation.

I think it's nice that this guy keeps giving everyone so many reasons to never vote for him. That way if he's the nominee, they can just gesture to all this stuff when panicky libs start hitting them with trolley problem memes in late October.

INBOX: It took exactly twenty days for California Gov. Gavin Newsom to walk back his comments describing Israel as an "apartheid" state, a position held by the experts working for the United Nations, Amnesty International, and Human Rights Watch: www.politico.com/news/magazin...

Do you regret using the word apartheid to describe Israel?

I do in this context. I said it, and I referenced why I used it — a Tom Friedman article — in that same sentence where Tom used it in the context of the direction that Bibi is going —

Not the current state?

Correct. And that is a legitimate concern I have, that I share with Tom — that that direction, if that vision and that direction of the far right that Bibi is indulging, that if they see the full annexation of the West Bank, then that’s not something — that’s a word you may hear others use.
