I hate that entire groups are being prevented from existing in mainstream art because of roughly 200 shrill lunatics who can't be normal about anything.

Ok so Heated Rivalry is really good.
Damn.
Fundamentally, the prediction market industry should not exist. Banning it would eliminate a ton of perverse incentives.
That's exactly what came to mind for me, too
Staff at the nation’s largest Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention facility have placed bets on which detainee will be the next to die by suicide, according to new reporting from the Associated Press based on 911 calls and detainee accounts.

Is it just me or does this guy look like Professor Professorson from Community

“The truth was far simpler, far dumber, and far more prescient: Musk and his lieutenants truly had no idea what they were doing.”

there's so much bad in the world but there's also people who lift up and carry an elderly bat around every day so he can pretend he's flying again, and that's the part of the world I think is worth fighting for
United States Onurt of Appeals FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA CIRCUIT No. 26-5050 September Term, 2025 1:25-cv-02471-ACR Filed On: March 6, 2026 Fritz Emmanuel Lesly Miot, et al., Appellees V. Donald J. Trump, President of the United States of America, et al., Appellants BEFORE: Walker, Pan, and Garcia, Circuit Judges ORDER Upon consideration of the emergency motion for a stay pending appeal, the opposition thereto, the reply, the amicus briefs, and the Rule 28(i) letters, it is ORDERED that the motion for a stay be denied.
BREAKING: DC Circuit, on a 2-1 vote, keeps in place a lower court order blocking DHS Sec. Noem’s effort to end Haiti temporary protected status designation.
Judges Pan and Garcia deny DOJ’s request to stay the district court order. Judge Walker would have granted it.
Haiti TPS is safe for now.
“A DOJ source told the Miami Herald that agents found her to be credible—and that they would not have interviewed her four times if they thought she was lying.”

I served, you're absolutely full of shit. The poster or book with forbidden tattoos is older than either of us. And I was a combat medic, saw plenty of infantry with ink and none of it racist symbols. Because they wanted to stay in the military.
Sociology pulls back the curtain on power - how it's constructed, how it's maintained, and the (il)legitimacy of those in power - and that's why they're so afraid of it.
(It's also why Intro Soc is my favorite class to teach.)

This.
The image is of graves being dug for the girls killed when the U.S. bombed their school.
I've been meaning to try this series
I wrote about how the US and Israel carried out an attack on an Iranian girls school on par with the OKC bombing and US media relegated it to a back page story. No stand alone evening news segments, no front page stories, it made A11 in the NYT then everyone moved on.
Screenshot of ProPublica webpage titled “Explore Financial Disclosures From President Trump and 1,500 of His Appointees,” accompanied by this blurb: “Use this database to explore potential conflicts of interest for President Donald Trump and his team. The documents disclose positions officials have held outside government, their assets and their debts, among other things.” A search bar prompts the user to search for a person or financial holding.
THREAD: We just released a tool that allows you to search billions of dollars in wealth, ties to the most powerful companies in the country, and details of the personal finances of President Trump and over 1,500 of his appointees.
Here’s how it works 1/
NEW @npr.org: The Justice Department has published additional Epstein files related to allegations that President Trump sexually abused a minor after an NPR investigation found dozens of pages were withheld.
But 37 pages of records are still not public.

"Deliberately attacking a school or hospital or any other civilian structure would likely be a war crime... If a U.S. role were to be confirmed, the strike would rank among the worst cases of civilian casualties in decades of U.S. conflicts in the Middle East." www.reuters.com/world/middle...
Maturing is recognizing that sometimes, to be pro-humanity is to be anti-US.
Or at the very least, anti-actions-of-the-current-US-regime.
On the CIA backed coup in Iran in 1953: the flagship journal of Middle East Studies did a roundtable on the topic just two years ago, which includes authoritative summaries of the events, state of the field questions etc- and its all free and open access here:

Wonder what Markwayne's airport message is going to be
My hope: they pull Mullin out of the Senate by trying to make him "active," fail, but then he's out of a job when he can't survive appointment hearings.
Honestly this might be the best scenario for Americans--that Trump repeatedly fires & replaces his agency heads until 2029. Each pick will likely be worse than the last, but at least we can hope that they never get established well enough to do any significant damage.
Cackles. I will note: I said what I said. The Democrats do not fund ICE or CPB, the Democrats insist on a Congressional investigation of Renee Good’s death and ICE out of MN. BTW, I would not vote for MarkWayne, until other protections like (no masks, etc), in place.
This is how I found out
That CECOT visit. The making of social media content from a concentration camp. That's what I'm going to remember about Noem.
So incredibly frustrating to see this illegal, reckless war claim so many lives already. Just a pointless loss of human life. It's maddening.
