The fuck is stomp and holla music
What do you mean adding more lanes won’t solve traffic?!? TELL THAT TO MY 40 LANE HIGHWAY
Woah…is “Rick” short for “Richard?” Did I just not know this? Or am I just forgetting that I knew it?? Or are you wrong??? I kinda need to know
Wait—I thought the VCs were actually saying that his comments were hateful…which they are.
I get your sentiment, and generally I agree, but in this case aren’t they right? This guy said something hateful and Islamosist (not a word but “Islamophobia” isn’t strong enough and actually, I think, proliferates hatred toward Islamic people) and the VCs actually came together to sign a letter saying it was wrong.
Am I misunderstanding this super weirdly formatted website?
Did you…read the article? They said the interview was done over the phone from inside the facility.
Like, in the third paragraph.
This is the most basic-ass tourist hotspot map of NYC…and they didn’t even go a few blocks up to hit Central Park? The fuck
But the judicial system famously doesn’t differentiate between people doing what they need to for good reasons and those doing it for bad reasons…
Well you have fun.
Meanwhile I’m gonna MEGA RETIRE.

This court filing is horrific and names both trump and Epstein as defendants. The victim withdrew after the deposition, if I’m remembering correctly.
You people think em dashes are proof of AI?

But that’s what the author is saying. The “post war liberal order” of the last 77 years had mostly been a success of coming together to say that there are lines that can’t be crossed.
Now, at this point in the order’s timeline, those lines are being left so far in the rear view that they’re not visible anymore, while the empires that came to take down the holocaust are now cracking down on the people pointing this out. And critically, as pointed out later in the article, are taking notes for future wars.
Factor in the right wing fascists rising to power all over the world who are flagrantly walking all over decency and inflicting violence/turning the systems on enemies without much of a peep…well, things for the future look to be heading down a seriously dangerous path.
This isn’t business as usual. That is what they’re saying. They point out that this “established order” and international law have always been vulnerable to powerful actors moving the goalposts to serve and protect their interests. But this much drastic change in just a few years, specifically centered around Gaza is a horrific force—coupled with every other factor throughout the world— that seems to be upending any hopes for a decent future.
