The @NCAA @ncaawb should withdraw the Women's Final Four from Dallas immediately. State leadership has nothing but disdain & hate for women/LGBTQIA+ folk. @WBCA1981 should be brave and call for this. #MovetheWomensFinalFour

Reviewers in two groups were given identical resumes for Emily Clarke and James Clarke and told they had used AI. Emily's was 2x as likely to raise doubts about competence. "She can't even write a CV herself." But James "just needed a bit of help." fortune.com/2026/05/10/ide…

The victims of this double gang rape case were referred to as 'young women' by Jess Phillips on Today recently. It's jarring to hear the perpetrators referred to as 'children' or 'boys' when they are the same age as their victims. Nobody is calling them 'young men'. #r4today

Este es Alan Chambers, pastor cristiano de Orlando (EEUU), que lideró una organización homófoba de "terapias de reconversión" para homosexuales y solía decir que debes "rezar para curar la homosexualidad". Fue arrestado hace unos días por intentar citarse con un niño de 14 años para abusar sexualmente de él, en realidad, el niño era un detective infiltrado en webs de citas visitadas por pedófilos. Chambers admitió que las cuentas de internet eran suyas, donde intentó pedir favores sexuales al niño de 14 años, al que incluso le envió fotos suyas. Hace unos años, este pedófilo salió en TV diciendo que a los homosexuales "hay que hacerles terapia como en Alcohólicos Anónimos" para curarles... el único criminal que necesita terapia siempre fue él, como todos esos "conservadores" homófobos y miembros de la Iglesia.

Less than a week ago, regarding the January 6th slush fund, Donald Trump claimed to know “nothing about it” and said he “had no part in its creation”. Then, overnight while Americans slept, Donald Trump quietly erased all Press Releases regarding the arrests of all the January 6th Insurrectionists.

My wife spent an entire year taking on extra work and smashing all her targets so that she could ask for a pay rise, they actually gave her one and then literally 2 days later our landlord put up our rent by more than the raise because he decided it was time to be paid more money

there’s an aerospace manufacturing chemical tank in Garden Grove, CA that the local fire department is saying is either going to leak 34,000 gallons of flammable methyl methacrylate into the community, “or blow up” and 50,000 people have evacuated so far

Bees are responsible for pollinating about one in three bites of the food we eat. They are far more important to humans than any AI tool or data center.

This didn’t age well @RonJohnsonWI - the report shows no children died from the vaccine

“the left turned on jews” no, the left turned on a right-wing apartheid state. anyway here’s me and hundreds of other jewish leftists

Jamie Raskin is visibly shaken after reading the unredacted #EpsteinFiles "Donald Trump's name is all over these files...I saw a reference today to a 9yr old girl". Don't ever stop talking about the #EpsteinFiles. #Trump

The gun chain Range USA has been dogged by accusations of straw sales. One lawsuit alleges that its negligence led to an illegal purchase tied to a 2023 shooting. Store video allegedly showed the shooter directing his girlfriend to buy the gun. propublica.org/article/range-…

Pro tip: Whenever your health insurance company denies your care, call and request to speak with the HIPAA compliance director. Then, ask them to provide the names, educational backgrounds, certifications, and medical credentials of all individuals involved in the denial of your claim. You’ll be amazed at how swiftly they reverse the denial. People claim that this tactic actually works. However, I believe we should be more concerned of these health insurance companies that are amassing millions of dollars in profits while denying patients essential care. To add a bit of flair, ask for the individual’s name, rank, and serial number, followed by the question: “Are you willing to accept full responsibility for the loss or irrevocable harm caused by your denial?” It’s time we take action and fight back.

This is pretty insane: the U.S. just tried to literally re-colonize part of the Philippines. They did so under the so-called "Pax Silica" initiative, the brainchild of - surprise, surprise - an ex-Palantir guy named Jacob Helberg who now runs U.S. economic "diplomacy" from the State Department. It's causing a big outcry in the Philippines, which is quite a feat given this is by far the most US-friendly country in Southeast Asia. If you're the US and you're getting the Marcos administration - of all governments - to push back on sovereignty, you've really overplayed your hand. What is the "Pax Silica" initiative? In a nutshell it's about the US getting other countries to commit to restructuring their AI tech infrastructure around a US-led stack. It's basically vendor lock-in: you hand over your critical minerals, align your export controls with Washington's, regulate AI the way America wants, and in return you get to be a US "trusted partner," whatever that means these days. In essence, let's not kid ourselves, it's all about China: this is the US's initiative to "win the AI race" by getting other countries to contractually commit to keeping China out of their tech supply chains. When you can't preserve your lead through innovation, you seek to lock countries in contractually. For instance as a country, this would mean telling Huawei they can't sell you AI chips, and telling Chinese firms they can't invest in your data centers - even if they're better and cheaper. It's not about choosing the best technology, it's about choosing the right flag. But in this instance, the US went much further still: they literally tried to carve out 4,000 acres of Philippine territory (in New Clark City, 60 miles north of Manila) to be governed under US common law with diplomatic immunity - the first arrangement of its kind anywhere in the modern world. This is according to the WSJ who ran the story last month (wsj.com/world/asia/u-s…) as if it was a done deal (it wasn't). Heard about the "French concession" or "British concession" in China during the century of humiliation? Same thing: the US basically asked for an "American concession" in the Philippines. Unsurprisingly, there was quite a bit of backlash in the country with for instance the Peasant Movement of the Philippines (KMP) calling it a “massive sellout” of the country’s land, minerals, and sovereignty (punto.com.ph/us-led-pax-sil…). So much so that the Philippines' government - namely Joshua Bingcang, president and chief executive of the Bases Conversion and Development Authority (BCDA) - issued a statement saying that the Philippines had rejected US proposals that would place the project beyond local jurisdiction (asianews.network/philippines-re…). Note, by the way, this delicious irony: the BCDA is the government agency that was created in 1992 specifically to convert former US military bases at Clark and Subic Bay after the Philippines spent decades negotiating their closure. New Clark City - where the Pax Silica's hub would go - is built on the old Clark Air Base. So the agency whose entire reason for existing is to turn former American colonial territory (i.e. US military bases) into sovereign Philippine land is the one now being asked to hand part of that very same land back under US jurisdiction (and, apparently, declined). Of course though, blocking this specific jurisdiction grab doesn't change the bigger picture. The Philippines is still a Pax Silica signatory, and Pax Silica itself is structurally neocolonial: you supply the cheap labor and raw materials, align your export controls and regulations with Washington's, cut yourself off from the world's rising technological powerhouse - and in exchange you get assembly jobs and the privilege of getting a pat on the head and being called a "trusted partner." They dropped the most cartoonishly colonial demand - governing Philippine soil under US law - but the underlying architecture is the same: you serve America's supply chain, on America's terms, and you relinquish your sovereign right to trade with whoever offers the best deal.

Biden was not president when Trump's tax returns were leaked Trump was the lying by Republicans like Mike Lawler is utterly shameless

So maybe “Coach” doesn’t know what Memorial Day is and would rather give criminals who beat police and attacked the US Capitol a billion dollars of your hard earned money. Most might say this is unbelievable, but then again most should know where his loyalties really lie - and it is not with the people of Alabama.

Looks like clean power isn’t a woke scam after all. motherjones.com/politics/2026/…

So a man beating his wife doesn't count as a crime? "According to him its vitually nothing"! Ladies this is what your esteemed leader calls physical abuse from your husbands. "Just a little fight with the wife doesn't count". Trump's never cared about women. Not one bit.
