We have to say it plainly: a lot of people—a lot of men—just don’t think that rape is very serious.
“Pickup artists” and “garbage men” are groups of people who should exchange titles
Exactly. You can give awards to books from the perspective of an Chinese woman, a Nigerian man, and a trans American, and he thinks that's all the same category of Not A White Guy.
And for this complaint to come from Bret Stephens -- who only has a cushy columnist gig at the New York Times because of their desire to be politically diverse and inclusive -- is fucking hilarious. You're the DEI hire, my man. You.

I would like to thank @phdhurtbrain.bsky.social and @danieldrucker.bsky.social for this incredibly concise encapsulation of how "superintelligence" discourse diverts energy and attention from the real, actual harms: >>
You would think the nephew of John F. Kennedy, who currently holds a position in the Trump administration, would have something to say about the potential destruction of the beloved Kennedy Center, but I guess letting children die of preventable diseases is a full time job.
Your regular reminder: If the Russians stop fighting, the war ends. If the Ukrainians stop fighting, their land will be occupied, their leaders will be killed, their history and language will be erased, their children will be kidnapped to serve Russia.
Tim Curry was not the 80-year-old Home Alone 2 cast member we were asking for.

There are two wolves. One always lies. One controls the lever of trolley track. They're in a state of superposition inside a box. On the trolley are infinite monkeys at infinite typewriters going to an infinite hotel. The trolley must first travel halfway, but before that a quarterway, and so on...

If Mitch McConnell and his family want privacy, he should resign. Otherwise, he needs to reveal his condition and advise of his ability to do his job.

You couldn't paint the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel today. A lot of Catholic guys would get really mad at you and probably wouldn't let you finish.
Now MLB wants to impose a salary cap, claiming it's good for parity. It's not. It's good for *owners.* Brunson is worth like 3x his salary, at least, and the only reason he had to take less money is because they league arbitrarily decided to limit payroll and penalize teams who spend. 3/5
You do not have to feel bad for Jalen Brunson, who's rich as hell and a champion forever. But as the MLB labor situation deteriorates over the summer you'll start hearing about how greedy the players are -- always the owners' playbook -- and I urge you not to buy it for one dumb second. 5/5
