People tell introverts
they should speak up more often,
but they almost never tell extroverts
to shut the fuck up.

Can anybody point out the leftie - or the Democrat - or whoever it is that the wingnuts are telling us to be mad at for slamming the Sydney Sweeney ad?
I imagine there's plenty of us who roll our eyes at it, but is there really some kind of concerted resistance or condemnation coming from "the left"?
I mean, "the left" has a hard time organizing a two-car parade. If there's some kind of popular reaction to the thing, maybe it's because most normal people are just naturally aware of the probable double or triple entendre. (see the Daily Show)
Seems probable the paranoid right is just doing a little of their usual projection.
Since Monday, Fox News has spent 85 minutes covering an American Eagle commercial featuring Sydney Sweeney, devoting over 20 segments to it. In the same time period, Fox spent just 3 minutes discussing the Trump administration’s handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files. pic.twitter.com/k9ch6itlf2

Horny For - Something
It sucks that The Daily Show gets better as the slide towards plutocracy accelerates.
Aaron's Rundown
The Labor Department's Jobs Reports for May and were practically fabricated. What a surprise, right?
The economy did not add 260,000 jobs in those two months, as stated by The Bureau Of Labor Statistics. The real number was 34,000 new jobs for May and June - a net loss of over 250,000 jobs.

60,000 Dead In Gaza
18,500 were children.
This is one of the wars Trump said he'd stop with a phone call the first day.
He's 190 days behind schedule now.
Some were killed in their beds. Others while playing. Many were buried before they learned to walk.
Gaza is the most dangerous place in the world to be a child, according to the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF).
Palestinian children have been killed at a rate of more than one child per hour during the war. “Consider that for a moment. A whole classroom of children killed, every day for nearly two years,” UNICEF Executive Director Catherine Russell told the U.N. Security Council this month.
When asked about the death toll among children, the Israel Defense Forces said it “does not target children or other uninvolved civilians. The IDF takes extensive precautionary measures to prevent harm to civilians. The IDF operates in compliance with international law.”
Israel says its aim is to eliminate Hamas after the militant group attacked the country on Oct. 7, 2023, killing about 1,200 people, mostly civilians, and taking 251 hostages. Thirty-eight children were killed and about three dozen were taken hostage. Hamas continues to hold about 22 hostages and the bodies of 27 others.
To assemble its list of fatalities, the Gaza Health Ministry uses hospital and morgue records, as well as vetted reports from victims’ families and reliable media. Tracking and identifying the dead has become increasingly difficult amid the breakdown of the enclave’s medical system.
Though it is impossible to capture every death, Gaza’s Health Ministry is doing “unusually high-quality real-time casualty recording,” said Michael Spagat, an economics professor at the University of London and chair of Every Casualty Counts, an international charity focused on documenting the casualties of armed conflict.
“They are trying to be really careful and rigorous and are constantly trying to improve the list,” he said.
A peer-reviewed study published January in the Lancet said an analysis of different casualty records suggests that the official death toll could be a significant undercount.
The Washington Post analyzed the ministry’s list released on July 15 and sorted the names by age.

Moween Shuheiber, 6, dreamed of being a pediatrician for children injured in war. Other days he wanted to be a businessman with a luxury car. Loved ones saw him as mature and thoughtful. He was killed in a November 2023 strike on an apartment building that killed more than 30 people, his cousin Adham Shuheiber said.
“I think he breathed his last while covering his ears,” said his cousin Malak Shuheiber. “Because that’s what he did every time he heard the sounds of planes.”
Tens of thousands more children have suffered life-altering injuries.
Samer Attar, an American surgeon who has volunteered in Gaza on several medical missions, says he has seen young bodies charred beyond recognition. Others had missing limbs or massive head trauma — wounds he described as “physically disabling and emotionally scarring.”
In early April, at al-Ahli Hospital in Gaza City, Attar recalled dozens of patients on the floor after an attack. The hospital had long since run out of beds. He described seeing a 10-year-old patient take her last gasp as blood poured from her mouth and nostrils. A young boy had his skull and abdomen partly ripped open. Two of his brothers were there next to him, begging doctors to help.
“I grabbed one brother’s hand and gave him the child’s hand. I took his other brother’s hand and put it on his heart, and just said, ‘I’m sorry he’s going to die. Just wait here until he passes,’” Attar remembered telling them before moving on to the next patient.
Most of the living have been corralled into the south of the Gaza Strip, where aid is now mostly distributed by American contractors inside military zones. Israeli soldiers positioned nearby have repeatedly opened fire on desperate families seeking aid, witnesses have told The Post. The IDF has said it fired “warning shots” to prevent “suspects from approaching.” It added that after reports of harm to civilians at aid points, the Israeli military issued instructions “following lessons learned” to forces in the field.
More than 1,000 Palestinians have been killed while trying to get food, the U.N. human rights office said on July 22.
On July 13, an Israeli airstrike hit a crowd lining up to fill water containers in central Gaza. Ten people, most of them children, were killed.
The Israeli military called it a “technical error” with a munition that caused it to fall “dozens of meters from the target.”
Thirsty children “returned to their homes as lifeless corpses,” said Ramadan Nassar, who lives in the area and witnessed the aftermath.
WaPo goes on to list all the names of kids who've been killed in Israel's "war against Hamas", which has turned into an attempted genocide.

Epstein
As usual, the wrangling is in progress, and the delay is likely about making sure Trump's ass is covered while doing as much damage to the Democrats as possible, without making it look too obvious.
But this is Trump - they really don't care how ham-handed it is. This is going to continue to be a total clusterfuck.
We texted nearly 1,100 Americans about Trump and the Epstein files.
How closely are Americans following news about government files from the federal investigation of Jeffrey Epstein, and what do they think about President Donald Trump’s handling of the issue? The Washington Post texted 1,089 people Monday to ask.
The Post’s poll found that most Americans are paying at least some attention to news about the Epstein files. Americans largely disapprove of how Trump is handling the issue, with most Democrats and independents disapproving and Republicans expressing a mix of approval and uncertainty. Most Americans strongly support releasing all files in the Epstein case and suspect the documents contain embarrassing information about Trump, Democrats and billionaires.
The poll found that about 1 in 4 U.S. adults (26 percent) are paying “a lot” of attention to news about the Epstein files, while another 38 percent are paying “some” attention. That is somewhat lower than attention to the Los Angeles protests of Immigration and Customs Enforcement raids in June, which 34 percent followed “a lot” in a similar poll that month.
Asked to describe why they are following Epstein news, people cited curiosity about whether public figures would be implicated, with some specifying Trump.
I’m curious, seems like a big story and seemingly important people could be implicated in it.
Ohio man, 45, independent
I want to find out who went to the island.
Nevada man, 61, MAGA Republican
I want to know what government officials, celebrities, and other public figures were at his island based on what we know about his case.
Indiana man, 27, independent
It is super suspicious that the Trump administration is now not releasing the files.
Oregon woman, 34, Democrat
Democrats are paying more attention than independents or Republicans, although majorities across party lines say they are paying at least some attention to the issue, including self-described MAGA Republicans who support the “Make American Great Again” movement.
Fewer than 2 in 10 Americans approve of the way Trump is handling issues related to the Epstein files while nearly 6 in 10 disapprove and more than 2 in 10 have no opinion. Asked to explain their answers, some said Trump was not being transparent, and others cited suspicions that Trump was hiding information.
Trump is not forthcoming with information. Seems a lot more likely as if he has something to hide.
Massachusetts man, 59, independent
He is avoiding what he promised to do: Release the files. He’s trying to cover up the truth.
New Jersey woman, 66, Democrat
I don’t really care about the Epstein files. I think it is an overblown conspiracy theory.
Tennessee woman, 68, MAGA Republican
He’s doing what he needs to do to get the results out.
North Carolina woman, 55, MAGA Republican
About 9 in 10 Democrats and more than 6 in 10 independents disapprove of Trump’s handling of the Epstein files. Republicans are divided, with 38 percent approving, 38 percent reporting “no opinion” and 24 percent disapproving. Just over 4 in 10 MAGA Republicans approve of Trump on the Epstein issue, while just under 2 in 10 disapprove and nearly 4 in 10 have no opinion.
Open-ended responses show some MAGA Republicans expressing faith that Trump will handle the issue properly — including some that expect he will release more information — while others said they are not following the issue closely.
An overwhelming majority of the public supports releasing all files from the Epstein case, including two-thirds who support this “strongly.”
Majorities of Americans across party lines predict that there is embarrassing information about Democrats and billionaires in the Epstein files. When it comes to Trump, most Democrats and independents suspect there is embarrassing information about him in there, dropping to about 3 in 10 Republicans overall and 2 in 10 MAGA Republicans. Some 4 in 10 Republicans — including 44 percent of MAGA Republicans — say they are not sure if there is embarrassing information about Trump in the files.
About 1 in 7 Americans (15 percent) believe the medical examiner’s ruling that Epstein died by suicide, while almost three times as many believe Epstein was murdered (44 percent). A sizable 42 percent say they are unsure how he died.
