That seems to be on the agenda in Florida This is the nonsense Ron DeSantis and the GOP brain trust believe will win them a general election: As Florida Republicans are introducing and advancing a wave of bills on gender and diversity that are likely to be signed into law by Gov. Ron DeSantis (R), one GOP lawmaker acknowledged this week that his proposed sexual health bill would ban girls from talking about their menstrual cycles in school. During a Florida House Education Quality Subcommittee hearing Wednesday, state Rep. Ashley Gantt (D) questioned her Republican colleague, state Rep. Stan McClain, on his proposed legislation that would restrict certain educational materials used in state schools, which Democrats and critics have likened to banning books. House Bill 1069 would also require that instruction on sexual health, such as health education, sexually transmitted diseases and human sexuality, “only occur in grades 6 through 12,” which prompted Gantt to ask whether the proposed legislation would prohibit young girls from talking about their periods in school when they first start having them.
‘Neither’ and ‘don’t know’ vote dwarfs score for either party leader – and no surprise there Both Keir Starmer and Rishi Sunak – two sides of the same dire, droning coin – were soundly beaten in the latest Opinium poll of voter assessment of who would make the best prime minister. The appalling Sunak managed […]

It’s part entertainment and part GOP activism. But it’s not news. Margaret Sullivan notes that they are knowingly misinforming their audience while claiming to be protected by the first amendment: As it tries to defend itself against the accusation that it knowingly spread lies about the 2020 presidential election, Fox News has touted some lofty notions about the role of journalism in a democratic society. “There will be a lot of noise and confusion generated by Dominion and their opportunistic private equity owners,” said a recent company statement, “but the core of this case remains about freedom of the press and freedom of speech, which are fundamental rights afforded by the Constitution and protected by New York Times v Sullivan.” The background, of course, is that Dominion Voting Systems is seeking $1.6bn in damages from the media giant, arguing that Fox News spread damaging falsehoods purporting that the voting machine company rigged the election to defeat Donald Trump.

A new sandpit for long side discussions, conspiracy theories, idees fixes and so on. To be clear, the sandpit is for regular commenters to pursue points that distract from regular discussion, including conspiracy-theoretic takes on the issues at hand. It’s not meant as a forum for visiting conspiracy theorists, or trolls posing as such.

Bosley Crowther, chief film critic for the New York Times, didn’t quite know what to make of Dr. Strangelove at the time of its release in January 1964. Stanley Kubrick’s dark antiwar satire was “beyond any question the most shattering sick joke I’ve ever come across,” he wrote. But if the film had its hilarious moments, Crowther found its overall effect distinctly unnerving. What exactly was Kubrick’s point? “When virtually everybody turns up stupid or insane — or, what is worse, psychopathic — I want to know what this picture proves.” We may find it odd for an influential critic to expect a movie to “prove” anything. Kubrick’s aim was manifestly not to prove, but to subvert and discomfit. With feature-length hyperbole... Read more
The current AUKUS submarine contract reflects a profoundly tragic lost opportunity. read now...Huckleberry hoist by his own petard He created this monster and now it’s trying to destroy him. I guess Lindsey is banking on the idea that Republicans are so racist that they’ll rally behind moves to go to war with China. And he may be right. But he’s on the wrong side of the argument when it comes to Russia and Ukraine. They support Vladimir Putin, an anti-gay, authoritarian, white nationalist and they don’t give a damn about Ukrainian children. They don’t give a damn about any American children who aren’t the spawn of right wing bigots. And Lindsey, they don’t really care about family values. They’re Trump voters. Think about it.
