The same cognitive dissonance that allows them to both act on, and excuse instances of molestation in their community/family, is the very same driver of their wanton disregard of the people harmed by republican policies. They see any instances of pedophilia in their ranks as “just a bad apple,” while they identify an entire race of people as rapists if a single news report shows a member of that race/minority group committing such an act. It’s entirely predicated on their belief that they are superior, and it is because of something inherent within them, that does not exist in others. They judge themselves not by their actions (and consequences of said actions) but by their intentions, while they have no such qualms demonizing any number of minority groups for the actions of a single member.

so, short answer, yes.

Long answer, yessssssssssssssssssssssssssss.

I am continually inspired by the wonderful AOC. This is a grand idea!

same morons that believed schools were putting out litter boxes for students, and that Haitian immigrants were eating pets. They’re hateful, racist, despicable people, who’s entire sense of self-worth is built on the idea that because they’re white they’re better than everyone else.

illegitimate scotus members have blood on their hands. Every lawmaker that voted for these despicable measures knew exactly what the outcome would be, and that’s why they voted for it.

The Purpose of a system is what it does.

fucking VOTE.

VOTE LIKE THE LIVES OF EVERY WOMAN IN YOUR LIFE DEPENDS ON IT.

stayed at a really cheap hotel in Columbus, Ohio recently, and the view from my room was of a homeless encampment within the grassy median between the offramp and the highway. So… there’s one.

If I ever become homeless, and can’t sleep in my car, I found a secluded spot down an embankment near a walmart. I’d probably go there.

this is the first study to consistently map brain changes during pregnancy, write the study authors in their paper.

“It’s 2024 and this is the first glimpse we have of this fascinating neurological transition. There is so much about the neurobiology of pregnancy we don’t understand yet. It’s a biproduct of the fact that biosciences have historically ignored women’s health,” said Jacobs.

I knew that there were fundamental neurological changes that occurred during pregnancy, but had no idea that there hadn’t been a comprehensive brain mapping study done yet. There is a surprising amount of sexism in academia.

Since their internal polling had most favoring drumpf, I guess this is a win for their leadership. They saw those polls and were like “yeah, but no.”

On 5 November 1910,[2][3] on her 14th outbound voyage, carrying a mixed cargo including a number of pianos for Chile, Preussen was at 23:35 rammed by the small British cross-channel steamer Brighton 8 nautical miles (15 km) south of Newhaven.[4] Contrary to regulations, Brighton had tried to cross her bows, underestimating her high speed of 16 knots (30 km/h). Preussen was seriously damaged and lost much of her forward rigging (bowsprit, fore topgallant mast), making it impossible to steer the ship to safety.

Brighton returned to Newhaven to summon aid and the tug Alert was sent to assist Preussen. A November gale thwarted attempts to sail or tug her to safety in Dover Harbour. It was intended to anchor her off Dover, but both anchor chains broke, and Preussen was driven onto rocks at Crab Bay, where she sank as a result of the damage inflicted on her. While crew, cargo and some equipment could be saved from Preussen, with the keel broken she was rendered unsalvageable. She sits in 6 metres (3.3 fathoms) of water at 51°8.02′N 1°22.17′E. The Master of Brighton was found to be responsible for the accident and lost his licence as a result. A few ribs of Preussen can be seen off Crab Bay at low spring tides.

Wow, that captain messed up big time.

Almost have to give props to him for being a consistently irredeemable racist piece of shit.

“We’ve had a black President, so we don’t need anti-discrimination laws or DEI initiatives anymore!”

It’s true, this man has no penis.

Calling out racism doesn’t make me responsible for said racism. That’s a really weird take for you to make.

Super interesting, mind boggling concept, measuring atoms to determine your location 😵

because women approach him and treat THEMSELVES as sex objects

That’s some A+ victim blaming right there. E. Jean Carroll didn’t do shit

Care to share a link to the video? A way of mapping the world without GPS sounds interesting

That’s a nice thing your mom did, and your tattoo is a great reminder that however bad we’re feeling in the moment, that “this too, shall pass.”

bro, what? did you even read the article? they shot him? he didn’t get away?

wow. the fact that they’re finding these chemicals in Placental and Amniotic fluid is nuts

And then the chemicals themselves are just… a list of some very nasty things

I’m reminded of the Propublica article that blew the lid off the fact that 3M’s PFAS accumulates in our tissues and causes cancer.

At the time, Johnson said, he didn’t think PFOS caused significant health problems. Still, he told me, “it was obviously bad,” because man-made compounds from household products didn’t belong in the human body. He said that he argued against using fluorochemicals in toothpaste and diapers. (…) “These idiots were already putting it in food packaging,” he said.

Ok.

I never defended Biden, I said that it was disingenuous of you to lump all Democrats together with republicans like they’re on the same side of the issue.

And looks like he has since evolved his stance on the issue, and is actively trying to help student loan borrowers. Which is 1000x more than what republicans would ever do.
