Tweet from Ryan grim: NEW: Politico knew at the time of publication precisely what Jenny Racicot texted to Graham Platner but deliberately omitted it from their article. Racicot, according to the lead Politico reporter on the story, told Platner she “needed her glute massaged.” He told her he was coming right over; she responded by telling him not to do so, but he came over quickly. Whether this detail is important to you or not, it is a shocking breach of journalistic ethics by Politico and CNN not to include it in their coverage. Story at Drop Site to follow.
She said he kept an AR-15 lying around his apartment on Capitol Hill, and would sharpen an ax — a relic from his time working on the Appalachian Trail before he enlisted in the Marines — while watching television.
Just Now Shane Goldmacher National politics reporter Graham Platner has not made a decision on whether to drop out, according to a person familiar with the campaign's internal discussions, who added there was no guarantee he would drop out even as Democrats abandoned his campaign on Monday. "If he was to step down it would only be with a guarantee of being replaced by a candidate who he believes is true to the values and vision and policy agenda of the campaign that Maine voted for," said the person, who was granted anonymity because they were not authorized to speak about the discussions publicly.

Reddit comment from TheBloodsuckerProxy Edward Brooke-Hitching is a great author for these. My personal three favorites by him are: The Madman's Library: The Strangest Books, Manuscripts and Other Literary Curiosities from History The Madman's Gallery: The Strangest Paintings, Sculptures and Other Curiosities from the History of Art The Devil's Atlas: An Explorer's Guide to Heavens, Hells and Afterworlds Now, I'm also autistic and one of my special interests is maneaters. A couple favorites on that subject: Beast: Werewolves, Serial Killers, and Man-Eaters: The Mystery of the Monsters of the Gévaudan by Gustavo Sanchez Romero and S. R. Schwalb Close to Shore: The Terrifying Shark Attacks of 1916 by Michael Capuzzo No Beast So Fierce: The Champawat Tiger and Her Hunter, the First Tiger Conservationist by Dane Huckelbridge And finally, for true crime and history fans, one of my favorite reads this year was Whack Job: A History of Axe Murder by Rachel McCarthy James

A screen cap from an episode of lost in which Juliette’s parents are explaining to her that they’re getting a divorce. I can’t emphasize enough how Tuscan beige era the whole set is. Also, the actors playing these parents are completely in 2007 garb. The mom’s hair is so flat not in an un flattering way just a very non-1980s way and the guy is wearing a sweater.

Mr. Platner, who had overlapping relationships with other women while he and Ms. Fifield dated, also referred to women as “hatchet wounds,” Ms. Fifield said, a crude term for female anatomy.

Riggitano and Fontaine were in a relationship by March 1917, when they were arrested for "unbecoming conduct" following a report from Riggitano's estranged wife, Daisy F. Hughes (August 8, 1875 – June 25, 1939); the affair was covered in local newspapers at the time.[15] Fontaine gave birth to her and Riggitano's first son, John Centi—the uncle of Leo XIV—on July 23, 1917, and to Leo XIV's father, Louis, in 1920. The couple gave both boys the surname "Prevost" at birth and adopted it themselves; it had been Fontaine's mother's maiden name.

But psychoanalysis was a poor treatment for someone in as much pain as Monroe; her longtime analyst, Ralph Greenson, integrated her into his own family in a wrongheaded attempt at reparenting, but seemed unable to help Monroe develop the capacities that would have helped her gain genuine self-respect—like the ability to show up for work.
THERE IS A RUMOR—a piece of gossip, as it were—that for a woman, being sexually attractive is a source of power. There are straight men who will insist on this, telling you that their much younger girlfriends control them totally with the force of their bodily appeal; some feminists, too, have taken up feminine wiles as a potential source of women’s advancement and self-defense. Marilyn’s life can be read as a test of this thesis. By the dint of her genius and the force of her will, she made herself into a synonym for sex itself. Did it get her what she wanted?

a tweet saying Yes this is how natural breasts look, but her styling team could’ve done a better job at this. Hair lazy, makeup has her looking a little flushed, and the dress looks like a nightgown with the way it lays on her chest. 0/10 for my girl. above two photos of lana condor at the fashion trust us awards, wearing a white silk dress that cuts low to show the natural drape of her large breasts. her face is not heavily made up and her hair hangs loose

Publishing houses and agents make you jump through 10,000 hoops if you are an untried author. But if you self-published a book that turns out to sell like hotcakes? Publishers will be DESPERATE to get their hands on it. And you get to skip past allll the hoops.

Meanwhile, Irby doesn’t have as much sympathy for Oluo despite being friends with him too. “I’m still finger-on-the-trigger as soon as she says the word. If [Lindy West] ever tells me it’s not cool, I will get on a plane and help dispose of a body,” she said. “It seems to be going well! But I am ready if she ever calls for me to come chop him into pieces.”

Mad Men is so interesting because Don is a grade-A philanderer but he is also the most real and respectful (at face value) towards women (and children) on the show. Most of the other men don’t hold a candle to Don’s power and swagger, and so they overcompensate with their blatant misogyny.
