"Never forget," they say.
But they choose what you remember.
Never forget Tiananmen.
Never forget 9/11.
Never forget the Holocaust.
But somehow, you are allowed to forget Fallujah.
You are allowed to forget Mỹ Lai.
You are allowed to forget Sabra and Shatila.
You are encouraged to forget Gaza while it is still happening.
This is not a culture of remembrance.
It is a culture of selective memory.
Naomi Osaka wore a dress inspired by the original Black Eiffel Tower, but the conversation was about whether she should’ve worn it. The uncomfortable truth is white people only support Black self-expression as long as it doesn’t disrupt their expectations of who they are
Keith David gets emotional and says he’s “living his dream” while accepting his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
“I started out as a singer, then I wanted to be a preacher, and I wanted to be a lawyer and a bank president. Then I discovered I could be an actor and be all those things.”

So let me get this straight.
Jake Tapper is focused on attacking my Mom.
Jared and Ivanka are building a private island paradise on Albanian protected land.
Don Jr married the daughter of Epstein’s banker, and a startup his fund backs just got a record $620M Pentagon loan.
Eric is taking an Israeli drone company public for $1.5B in the middle of a war with Iran that nobody wanted.
And I know: “But what about your paintings, Hunter?”
Please.
In 1980, Richard Pryor agreed to an interview with a Mormon high school public access station while on his lunch break from filming STIR CRAZY in Arizona, but literally none of the footage was usable for tv because Pryor was high on cocaine and let it all loose
Scott Pelley issues new statement after being fired by CBS for opposing their pro-MAGA bias:
“New management has instructed me to inject falsehoods and bias into a politically sensitive story. I’ve been told to include assertions that are unverified. To date, in every case, I have managed to ignore these instructions or refuse them.
Recently, politicians have been invited to choose correspondents for interviews on the broadcast. Giving politicians control over 60 Minutes interviews is not how this is done.
Finally, incompetence and unprofessionalism in the new management have wreaked havoc. In a case involving one of my stories, the entire program came within 19 minutes of not getting on the air at all.”
Republicans in North Carolina just proposed a bill that says if a woman is caught with an IUD or attempts to get an abortion then men are allowed to use DEADLY FORCE to try and stop her. They are proposing a bill that will allow men to kill women for using birth control. It’s House Bill 1232. Keith Kidwell is the Republican who proposed the bill. He claims it counts as self defense to use deadly force to stop abortion. This is a man who claims to be pro life. Feel free to give his office a call and let him know how you feel about his opinion.
And for anyone who says “obviously this will never get passed” that’s not the point. The point is it’s fucking insanity that a government official would even try to make a law like this. It’s insanity that there are men out there who are trying to make it legal to kill women for making decisions for their own bodies. This is real and it’s happening right now in front of our eyes.
The most disturbing part about this video is if she did have a right hand, the ticket would stand, her insurance rates would go up, if she had a cdl, her company might fire her.
We give entirely too much weight to the testimony of cops who refuse to believe they were ever wrong
The crazy/scary thing about the lady with the “no right hand” situation and supposedly texting while driving is that once the officer realized he was wrong, instead of just admitting it, he let his ego take over and still proceeded to give her a ticket anyway.
Some people may look at it like “it’s not that deep,” but honestly it is.
Because if someone’s ego is too big to admit they were wrong in a small situation like that, imagine how that could show up in bigger situations involving other people. Ego makes people double down instead of self-correcting, and that’s dangerous.
