Racy, stripper adult drag queens have no place around kids. Fun, costumed non-blue drag queens reading to kids is fine. Can we make that distinction and act accordingly?

Israel appointed Noa Tishby to fight antisemitism and delegitimization.
So she went on FoxNews to talk about Pelosi husband's DUI arrest, Biden's age and the 'obvious double standard of MSM not talking about the attempt to kill a SCOTUS judge'@Bsamuels0 https://t.co/garUfTfBRW

Does anyone want to guess what would happen if Saudi Arabia appointed an official to fight anti-Islamic bigotry and then that official went on MSNBC to talk about Trump’s age, Walker’s secret kids, or anything but what was relevant to their actual job?

Spoiler alert: Republicans would lose their shit. And yet, anyone who says that this is direct action on the part of the State of Israel to meddle in U.S. politics will absolutely be accused of antisemitism by performatively outraged Republicans, whether the person saying it is a Jew or not. Or maybe they’ll just go with self-hating Jew or something like that.

Oh noes! A leak at the Supreme Court!
I suppose the Republicans will go berserk again, just like the last one.
Right?

She did not know what CRT was: but when she accepted a job as DEI administrator white parents accused her of implementing it in schools. She resigned. Then they kept harassing her until she left her next job. https://t.co/H5NgWbQmZT

Elon Musk’s regulatory woes mount as U.S. moves closer to recalling Tesla’s self-driving software by Christiaan HetznerChristiaan Hetzner (Fortune)
Traffic safety officials escalate and widen probe to 830,000 Tesla cars as they discover patterns suggesting Tesla's Autopilot feature can encourage dangerous driving behavior.

Wait I thought self-driving cars were solved. That’s what he told us seven years ago. And that cancer would be completely cured ten years from then. What about cancer?

Professors Need the Power to Fire Diversity Bureaucrats by Conor Friedersdorf (theatlantic.com)
Scholars should drive out overzealous administrators, not vice versa.

But wait, I’ve been repeatedly told that firing people over their political views is cancel culture, and we all know that cancel culture is the apocalypse to end all apocalypses or something.

Unfortunately, the end of my high school career was robbed from me. I didn't have the time other students get to properly prepare for the future.

I look forward to attending Blinn College District this year, a feeder school for Texas A&M.

I'm excited to join Texas A&M in 2023!

Democrats are already rejecting calls for more security and single entry points for schools (refusing to concede single points of entry with multiple exits is possible). They only want gun control, which won't pass the Senate. That means they want the issue, not a solution.

— Erick Erickson (@EWErickson) May 26, 2022

Wanna know why democrats are rejecting your supposed solution Eric? Because it’s completely idiotic and it’s a deliberate attempt on the part of Republicans to once again sacrifice the lives of the many so that the few can have their toys. You fuckers have spent the last two years pretending to give a damn about kids, and when someone shoots up yet another school you’re all the sudden "Turn the schools into fortresses!" And we’re fucking tired of it, and you, and none of us are here for any more of your bullshit.😠

If 18-year-olds can’t buy alcohol they sure shouldn’t be able to buy an AK-47. CHANGE THE LAW.

— Amy Klobuchar (@amyklobuchar) May 26, 2022

Jee I wonder if there’s anyone who could do that law-changing thing when they’re working because God forbid you can’t miss your summer vacation! Jesus Christ congresscritters who have the nerve to tweet about how the law should be changed while they’re taking more fucking time off are the absolute worst.😠

After years of insisting that Obama and Democrats had to use the term “radical Islamic terrorism,” few if any GOP leaders now even acknowledge the problem of “white supremacist terrorism” or “antisemitic extremism.”https://t.co/PG9G6MtnDx via @msnbc

Spoiler alert: It was never about the terrorists.

Conservatives Are Defending a Sanitized Version of 'The Great Replacement' by Adam Serwer (theatlantic.com)
Their reaction to the Buffalo shooting shows that the racist theory has now entered the Republican mainstream.

Because of course they are.

Don’t call them racists though it’s super hurtful and besides that some of their best friends are black or something and they love Israel.

Has the Buffalo attack prompted any "I thought it harmless hyperbole to criticize Dems' immigration stance, I didn't realize I was playing with fire. I still disagree with Dems, of course, but I'll be more precise to avoid inadvertantly helping fuel white nationalist terrorism"?

— Nicholas Grossman (@NGrossman81) May 18, 2022

Nope. And it won’t. And neither will the next attack.

1 cup | James' Coffee Blog (James' Coffee Blog)
1 cup

I’m going with one cup for now, because for the past two years I’ve kept it to that minimum. I’ve been drinking coffee since about the age of fifteen or sixteen though after I was introduced to it during a debate event in high school and I consumed it pretty regularly throughout college and the majority of my web development/tech support career.

UC-Berkeley’s Nicholas Weaver has been studying cryptocurrency for years. He thinks it’s a terrible idea that will end in disaster.

The computer scientist interviewed in this piece is absolutely correct. Kill it with a raging forest fire.

Here is Louisiana’s new fetal personhood bill—which House Republicans just voted out of committee 7–2—making abortion a crime of homicide “from the moment of fertilization” and allowing prosectors to charge patients with murder. https://t.co/DJahoVd7mN

— Mark Joseph Stern (@mjs_DC) May 5, 2022

But I’ve been repeatedly assured by prolife folks that women who obtain abortions would be held legally harmless (whatever the fuck that means) if Roe were overturned. And yet, LA goes for this, and TN goes for criminalizing abortion pills by mail, and Texas goes for citizen bounties on women who have had abortions, and of course they’re strategically silent. I used to scoff at people who made comparisons to the Handmaid’s Tale. Now, I’m thinking they may have had a fucking point.

They will become suddenly strategically silent and pretend it never happened.
