Slate: The Far Right Thinks Sydney Sweeney Killed Wokeness

It’s a common phenomenon, really. Sydney Sweeney is beautiful now, and would be considered so in any era. But because she’s no longer the only type of woman who’s considered beautiful, certain people on the right think they’re being oppressed and the world has gone to hell.

Why have these weirdos zeroed in on Sweeney in particular? There are lots of beautiful white women with big boobs out there—Kate Upton, Blake Lively, Katy Perry, Scarlett Johansson, Emily Ratajkowski, and more. As far as I can tell, part of it seems to be that Sweeney doesn’t shy away from talking about or sharing her body. On Euphoria, she does a lot of nudity, and she’s spoken in interviews about feeling comfortable with it. On SNL, she repeatedly joked about her boobs and even wore a Hooters uniform. The National Post praised Sweeney for “playfully owning her sex appeal with zero apologies” and criticized Vanity Fair for suggesting it might have been nice to give her some material that wasn’t about her beauty.

Trump’s tariffs lowering the US wine industry’s sales is just preparation for his environmental policies lowering their production by making it harder to grow grapes. It’ll all balance out eventually.

Masha almost certainly isn’t going to lose the title before Rebellion, but it would be funny if she lost to Miu to get out of having to put Tessa over.

Tesla is far from alone in flashing the “death cross.” The S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100 both showed it as well on Monday, as the indexes continue to fluctuate in wild and somewhat unpredictable ways thanks to the endless uncertainty that the Trump administration has introduced to the market through its blanket tariffs and “will they, won’t they” exceptions that keep getting tacked on and taken off.

An individual stock hitting this point doesn’t really seem like that big a deal when indexes are getting there.

Between this and his tough on crime nonsense, it feels like Poilievre has given up on winning anyone over and is just trying to hang on to his base. Which is a weird thing to do when your base wasn’t enough to win the last election, but whatever.

Oopsie, Trump’s tariffs based on a fake emergency may have created a real emergency.

Trump is aware of that, he’s given ICE access to that information to help track them down.

“How can I return him to the United States? Am I going to smuggle him? Of course I’m not going to do it,” Bukele said while sitting beside President Donald Trump. “The question is preposterous.”

Ideally you would return him because the president of the United States asked you to, but I suppose Trump doesn’t think the Supreme Court’s ruling that the US government needs to “facilitate” Garcia’s return requires such an extraordinary level of effort.

This guy may be volunteering to be another person who needs to be returned from El Salvador. The trip could go very badly for him.

It’s ridiculous that the US government is paying a foreign government to detain prisoners on its behalf and seems to be claiming it didn’t put anything in the contract about a way to get the prisoners back.

The article is out of date. According to this one, the game has been removed from sale on Steam in the UK, Canada and Australia, and the dev is going to withdraw it from Steam entirely.

Zerat Games has announced it will withdraw its sexually explicit visual novel from Steam after it was removed from sale in the UK, Canada, and Australia.

Posted to the game’s Steam page, which is no longer accessible to those who have not previously purchased the game, the developer defended its title but confirmed it would be removed from the platform.

“We don’t intend to fight the whole world, and specifically, we don’t want to cause any problems for Steam and Valve,” the developer said.

Ford backed out of canceling Starlink in February, but as far as I can tell he cancelled for good in March.

“Oops, we deported him at 4pm. Oh well.”

Why would they impeach him for something the Republicans on the Supreme Court will declare perfectly legal?

Influencers like Mike Cernovich and Charlie Kirk accused her of betraying conservative values despite past praise.

Just to be clear, this was after she voted to block some DOGE stuff; they’re not claiming that wanting to keep people from being deported on flimsy justifications with no due process is a betrayal of “conservative values” (yet).

The trade agreement with Canada and Mexico that Trump signed in his first term will be up for review next year, but he decided to “negotiate” with tariffs this year instead. Any country can look at how Trump has handled the USMCA for a preview of how an agreement with Trump will go.

If he makes it 420% maybe Elon will get on board.

CNBC doesn’t mention it, but other coverage says China has filed a complaint with the World Trade Organization. It’s weird how little the WTO comes up in relation to Trump’s trade war.

The without prejudice part is in the article:

The DOJ had asked Ho to toss the case “without prejudice,” which would have allowed charges to be refiled against the mayor in the future.

As for why that could be bad:

Ho, in his order on Wednesday, wrote that dismissing the case without prejudice “would create the unavoidable perception that the Mayor’s freedom depends on his ability to carry out the immigration enforcement priorities of the administration.

The judge also said it would create the perception that Adams, who is seeking re-election this year, “might be more beholden to the demands of the federal government than to the wishes of his own constituents.”

“That appearance is inevitable, and it counsels in favor of dismissal with prejudice,” Ho wrote.

CBC’s coverage says his problem isn’t with the law itself:

Blanchet’s criticism follows Carney’s remarks Monday that a government led by him would act as an intervenor at the Supreme Court of Canada should it ever hear a challenge to Bill 96.

Carney said he would do so not because he has a problem with the legislation, but because he opposes any province’s pre-emptive use of the notwithstanding clause to pass laws.
