THE sentence of the day: A Macronist incumbent in the Marseille region came in 3rd in her seat. She just dropped out to support the left. She said, about why she's maneuvering to block the far-right:
"Defeats happen, but you can never recover from dishonor."
At the Container Store.
I could put all my things in these.
With the right box, I could impose order on my life. I would be a better person, spiritually cleansed, more likely to exercise. I would suddenly like kale. Babies would not cry in my presence. I would ascend.
The correct response to Chevron being overturned is for every single environmental group to start filing millions of lawsuits, right now, today, arguing that various regulatory decisions didn't go far enough.
Absolutely flood the zone.
Werner Herzog directing a Maybelline ad: Perhaps she is born with it. What a frightful notion, to be imbued with the fetters of capitalist commodification from birth. It suggests God Himself is a part of our dreadful pattern instead of a refuge from it.
one of the things to keep in mind about politics is that we all argue about strategy and appeal and tactics et al but for all our arguments, it just comes down to how the absolute stupidest 10k people in like six states think on one day

it's weird that people are calling Sabrina Carpenter an "industry plant" and other stupid terminology. It overlooks that she's a talented, charismatic performer who DESPERATELY wants us to forget she made that awful song "Skin" in response to Olivia Rodrigo

This is an excellent description of the editorial failure behind The NY Times' decision to run Alina Chan's lab leak article.
What's the value proposition to the readership of presenting a one-sided argument that most scientists find lacking? Did no editor bother to ask that question?
