"Haha, what if we can prove Trump was doing shady shit with Epstein? Then we'll have to lock him up!"

I saw a few videos about it and a news article, but it doesn't sound like this drop is the one that matters yet. The FBI hid the good stuff, and now she has to go get it and go through it separately.
Honestly, the idea that an illiterate person could pass high school (or even grade school) should be a grounds for every person who gave the illiterate student committing seppuku.
Sorry teachers, you've gotta do it, you've brought tremendous shame to your ancestors.
I don't make the rules.
If I did illiterate people wouldn't graduate High School and everyone would learn fighting and horseback riding.

Funny how their stance on immigration changed so quickly and now they want to punish an African as harshly as they can.
Yeah, you just have to ask: "How many of the Fortune 500 could you buy every year with one year's federal budget, and how much of that money goes to Fortune 500 companies, and why?"
Suddenly it becomes clear that you've got this 1000lb elephant on the bed, and it doesn't matter if you're the elephant or not you're going to be pulled towards it.

I saw a news article that was saying USAID didn't really account for a lot of money.
The budget for USAID in 2024 was 72 billion dollars. That's more revenue than all but 174 companies on the fortune 500, so more revenue than 323 companies on the fortune 500. That might not be a lot of money for the US government, but it's a lot of money for most anything else!

We Canadians are so fucking stupid that the moment Trump says a mean thing, apparently a bunch of us actually believe the Liberals when they start acting all patriotic -- the same Liberals who were totally on board with cancelling Canada Day. The same Liberals who said Canada is post-national. The same Liberals who said Canada has no culture.
That's how stupid Canadians are. Trudeau could start rounding people up and putting them in camps you constantly hear gunfire from and a bunch of us would be like "At least he's not orange!"

We're in the middle of a trade war these idiot Liberals started by acting like mean girls to the president of the united states for the past 8 years, and they're like "Oh, I know! Vote for us! We'll be even meaner! That'll help!"
How about you shut the fuck up, Freeland? You've 'helped' enough.

In trying to imagine the future for my novel, I really had to dial down the hypersexuality we see today. Instead of treating every woman like she's potentially going to make love to you right this second, the idea is you need to control yourself, but there's other parts of life where things are much less repressed.
Today men and women can barely talk because the hypersexualization has made it so awkward. Hell -- men and other men can barely talk because the hypersexualization has made it so awkward nobody wants to be accused of "the gay", and that's not just from stereotypical homophobes -- the lgbt community has done everything in their power to re frame every single male relationship over the past 8000 years of recorded history as actually being gay lovers.
So of course basically everyone is walking on eggshells among pretty much everyone because nobody wants to be accused of hitting on someone they don’t want to. With a little self-control, people could actually chill it out so they only hit on people they’re trying to hit on and we could have social connections again. It turns out we humans require social connections other than trying to bang like a bunch of bonobos on MDMA, or we get super depressed... like a bunch of bonobos after an MDMA bender.
The way to actually do that is to have social rituals that separate out this piece of your life. So you can have a discussion with someone and if they aren’t initiating the social rituals, you’re safe to just treat them like another human being, as opposed to a potential romantic partner at all times.

The liberals are in such a bad place, they've got many Canadians excited to vote for a guy named Pierre.
England actually colonized Africa, they can feed Sudan if they're so upset about it.
We just got a free money cheque from the government, and I'll take the money, but I also understand that it's money stolen from my grandkids unless the budget is balanced.
I saw a video asking why the boys liked Powerpuff girls, with the underlying assumption of the video being that Powerpuff girls was actually intended for girls.
In the book Zen and the art of motorcycle maintenance, they talk about the concept of mu. This idea is that it doesn't matter what answer you give to a question, because the question is wrong. So in this video you are trying to answer the question of "why were the Powerpuff girls popular with boys even though it was a show meant for girls", and the answer is to unask the question because the question is wrong.
Powerpuff girls was never intended for girls, it was always intended for boys. It is right in the story of its creation, that the show creator put together a set of designs for their brother's birthday. The designs were not feminine to speak of, they were very male coded. Three girls who represent sort of idyllic fantasies of femininity (in 8 year old form) participating in wanton violence against monsters of the week.
This isn't a new idea, of creating a mythology of warrior women pointed at men. In antiquity, the story of the Amazons was essentially aimed at men, not so much women who don't care about fighting. In the middle ages, the story of Joan of Arc may have been empowering for women, but it was a story aimed at men. Japan being a modern civilization that has not yet fallen into postmodernism, quite frequently has women in their shounen stories, which are definitely pointed at young men, and of course postmodernism will always take the opportunity to subvert expectations, though I would argue that Powerpuff girls isn't necessarily a postmodern story since a lot of it's underlying superstructure is modernist in nature.
So at the end of the day, boys like Powerpuff girls because it's a well made cartoon for boys, not because they are somehow subverting expectations.
One of my favorite examples of this from anime which is a modernist art form, is the Rozen maiden series, particularly the first and second seasons of the first series. It felt very peculiar watching a show where almost every character is a woman, but when you look at the show as a whole it is clear it is almost exclusively designed for men, and the root message is about men.

"what!! America wants to impose a tariff? That's an outrage! We must stop buying from that country and buy from the authoritarian dictatorship with actual ethnic concentration camps instead!"
