amazon has made big promises on climate - but, according to estimates made in a new report, its shipping emissions have skyrocketed 75% over the past five years. i took a closer look for

:
if you're not watching the olympic opening ceremony the main torchbearer is a masked vigilante wearing keens and les miserables-style revolutionary rags who entered on a boat to the phantom of the opera theme and is now doing parkour around paris to techno. extremely french
i know this is the year of everyone being cuckoo over chappell roan but i have to say if i had seen a lady in armor singing about repressed homosexuality onstage at the vmas when i was a teenager i might have been able to come out of the closet before i was 32
what's crazy about the jk rowling tweets especially is that she didn't just misgender khelif, she claimed that khelif was purposefully abusing women based on a photo of...an olympic boxing match. a supremely idiotic way to commit libel
imane khelif had to sell scrap metal and couscous to afford training while lin yu-ting started boxing to protect her mom from domestic abuse. and yet there jk rowling sits on her pile of gold screeching nonsense
Oysters are statistically more likely to kill you than raw milk. If raw milk wasnโt perceived as right wing coded, I doubt Rolling Stone would be fear mongering about it.
this is actually the attitude that has lost democrats any semblance of control in local politics in states around the country and has enabled the gop to become such a powerhouse at the national level. if you care only about the white house every 4 years youโre missing the point
Babe I love you but my local zoning commissioner election is not more important than Kamala Harris preventing two heinous supreme court nominations when Thomas and Alito retire.
so many of these parent-guarding-their-kid-against-the-woke-trans-mob style pieces become just really sad when you read between the lines. this lady wasted a year of her life going to doctors appointments for a fake top surgery bc her kid stopped talking to her
It took a 53-year-old woman with good insurance 10 months just to get a referral for top surgery and we're all supposed to believe this is a) too fast and b) even faster for minors.
my girlfriend points out that they are not using the half mask and played the exact amount of the phantom theme permitted under fair use thus probably avoiding having to pay andrew lloyd webber
we should be talking more and more about how cars are inescapably just big old computers that track your every move and can get hacked!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! it's impossible to get a car that's not a computer rn!!!!!!!!!
the โmaking pagers explode from across the worldโ thing is really adding to my desire to never have a car thatโs a computer. un-computer the cars
i maintain that the allegations against him haven't caught on as widely as they should because honestly the podcast that broke the story was really poorly laid out and confusing. a real case study in important reporting waylaid by style
this is fascinating to watch bc chaya somehow has not managed to get any on camera media training through her sharp ascent to fame. a seasoned right winger would know how to turn these questions right back around and focus on their own talking points instead of hemming and hawing
"Sounds like you do want to tell people what to do in their house": Taylor Lorenz presses Libs of TikTok creator Chaya Raichik to explain her issue with trans adults.
"there's a RAPIST and CONVICTED FELON on the BALLOT, that should be your FOCUS, not attacking biden" idk bro the rapist and convicted felon is currently winning in the polls. like how dumb do you have to be, we did this schtick in 2016
How do 0.1 percenters get into their top-choice schools?

reports on elite educational consultantsโlike Command Educationโ who charge upwards of $120,000 a year to sculpt high-school kids into Ivy League bait.
Read now:
france has dedicated nearly 30 seconds of this opening ceremony to minions blowing raspberries. then it cuts up to a woman singing la marseillaise. incredible editing
back to our vigilante friend, carrying the torch through the louvre. the statues and paintings are physically turning to look at him, as if to say, who is this little gay
in an age where we keep seeing all these public intellectuals and journalists sell out after their ideas gain them elite access, coates is truly a gift
Ta-Nehisi Coatesโs writing on race fueled a reckoning in America. Now he wants to change the way we think about Israel and Palestine.
Read our new cover story now:
thinking today of marcellus williams, who is set to be executed at 6pm CT, and how the DNC for the first time in a decade this year scrubbed abolition of the death penalty from their platform
they're taking a break to go back to the actual opening parade, did i mention they appear to be making all of the countries' athletes enter on seine tourboats usually reserved for drunk tourists
one thing about her that might be clearer to those of us who lived through early Gaga is that the character chappell roan is very obviously an onstage persona, and she got famous so quickly that that nuance maybe hasnโt gotten through to a lot of younger fans
Chappell Roan calls out the public harassment she has received from fans:
โI donโt care that this crazy type of behavior comes along with the jobโฆ that does not make it okay.โ
he's floating through a stop-motion space scene. le petit prince spotted!!! and.......an abandoned statue of liberty??? it cuts to....MINIONS IN A SUBMARINE
many people in the replies making intelligent comments re: french companies being involved in assassin's creed and minions. thank you. i am not very bright and am merely tweeting my live unedited thoughts
back to our renegade, holding his lit giant gauloise sprinting across the roof of the musee d'orsay. he pulls a lever in front of a giant clock to show an old-timey movie about BALLOONS
i know the masked person is an assassin's creed reference ostensibly but i really hope they rip off the mask and reveal like, audrey tatou. or nicolas sarkozy. maybe one of those smoking kids who serenaded serge gainsbourg
