HELL — Feminist icon Gloria Steinem refused to allow Satan to hold the door open for her on the way into hell, in what many are calling her final act against the Patriarchy. "No way," Steinem said as the Devil attempted to hold the door open for her. "I don't do that. I don't submit to your male chauvinism. I won't give you that power over me. Now step aside." Satan told friends he was a little taken aback by Steinem's behavior. "I typically hold the door for all our new female residents," he said. "It's just the way I...

TV writer Vanessa Baden Kelly recently appeared on the New Rockstars podcast with hosts Erik Voss and Jessica Clemons, where she spoke about her experiences writing the comic book series — which has revealed itself to be a rehash of BLM-era preachy messaging. But she also spoke about where she came from before her TV writing career. (...) But after the year 2000, she took about a ten-year break from the entertainment industry and became a left-wing community activist. By 2011, she went back to seeking work as an actress and also as a writer. Baden Kelly claimed that her...

Yesterday, following the death of feminist activist Gloria Steinem at the age of 92, Netflix released her episode of Famous Last Words, which records interviews with notable people that are only to be released posthumously. After a 40-or-so-minute sit-down conversation with Glee co-creator Brad Falchuk — the cameras are operated remotely by videographers who do not have audio access, so it is as private as can be — he leaves the room and, true to the series’ title, allows his guest to voice his or her last words to the public. Steinem, especially in her heyday in the ’70s, was...

The judge has declared a mistrial in the Lindsay Clancy case. I’m writing a much longer podcast on the women — the crazy, crazy women — but I’d also like to lay out the case as I see it and why I am grateful to the one juror who stood against the 11 and led to the mistrial. I watched every minute of this trial, all those weeks of testimony and seven days of deliberations, and if I were on the jury, I would have joined him

A Hellenic Air Force F-4 Phantom plunged into the ground during an Athens Flying Week airshow Saturday — erupting into a massive fireball as horrified spectators watched, chilling video shows. Both pilots aboard the American-made, two-seat fighter were killed in the crash, according to two officials who spoke to Reuters. The shocking crash unfolded about two minutes into the jet’s display at Tanagra Air Base near Athens at around 3 p.m. local time, according to The Aviationist. Footage shows the F-4 roaring along at low altitude before banking into a turn and rapidly losing height. Seconds later, the fighter disappears...

Official Summary: On the day of his scheduled execution, a convicted serial killer gets a psychiatric evaluation during which he claims he is a demon, and further claims that before their time is over, the psychiatrist will commit three murders of his own.This movie came out in 2023, and I had never heard of it. Here is what the jacket looks like: This sure looks like the kind of movie I barely even pause for, the kind I scroll right past. That is because normally, I am not interested in "Horror" movies, which this movie was classified officially as. As...

“The participating students achieved results comparable to the averages in Sweden and Germany.” These are the results of our pilot program, which includes tutors with Artificial Intelligence and has been in 171 public schools for just over a year. It was evaluated by PISA for Schools in June of this year. Since then, it has already expanded to more than 1,000 schools and, in 18 months, will be in all public schools in our country. In a few years, El Salvador will inspire the world. Security was just the beginning 🇸🇻

THE LOSER WHO NEVER GAVE UP For "Sparky", school was all but impossible. He failed every subject in the eighth grade. He flunked physics in high school, getting a grade of zero. He also flunked Latin, algebra and English. And his record in sports wasn't any better. Though he did manage to make the school's golf team, he promptly lost the only important match of the season. Oh, there was a consolation match; he lost that too. Throughout his youth, Sparky was awkward socially. It wasn't that the other students disliked him; it's just that no one really cared...

It sounds like something from a sci-fi movie: technology acting on its own, without human guidance, to attack computer systems. But this isn't a scene from a movie — it happened this summer, when the tech company Hugging Face detected an attack on its systems. The attacker stole data and performed other unauthorized activity over several days. It was "different from anything we had handled before," Hugging Face said on its website. Hugging Face alerted the FBI. As it turned out, it wasn't the work of a human hacker or a foreign adversary. Agents powered by artificial intelligence were the...

Mayor Zohran Mamdani signed an executive order recognizing 9/11 Friday — and then gave the symbolic pen to his controversial aide who once represented an al-Qaeda terrorist with links to the attack on the Pentagon.Administration officials were gathered at City Hall for a pair of executive orders — ahead of the 25th anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks — one establishing a Day of Remembrance and another beefing up security against future terror threats. After Mamdani signed the last of the documents, Hizzoner gave Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch the ceremonial pen, and whispered, “Can you pass this?” Tisch awkwardly handed...

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani signed an executive order honoring the victims of 9/11 on Friday. Then he handed the ceremonial pen to a lawyer who once represented an al-Qaeda terrorist. Yes, really. The surreal ceremony unfolded at City Hall just one week before the 25th anniversary of the September 11 attacks. Mamdani gathered senior administration officials to sign two executive orders related to the tragedy. You just knew this was going to be a fiasco. And it was. The first “order” establishes September 11 as an official New York City “Day of Remembrance and Service,” complete with a...

Havana — How to conserve cellphone battery when recharging options are scarce; how to preserve food when the fridge isn’t working; how to cope with the heat when air-conditioners aren’t an option; how to generate power when the whole country has almost none left. These are the sort of tutorials that have made the Instagram feed of influencer Dayán Marrero indispensable to many Cubans as they try to adapt to the rolling electricity blackouts and fuel shortages that are increasingly part of everyday life on this Caribbean island. As the US-imposed oil blockade that is worsening the situation bites ever...

[Catholic Caucus] Leo XIV Proves the “Prophets of Doom” Correct: Has the Church Abandoned the Reign of Christ? The “prophets of doom” were supposed to be wrong. But what if they saw exactly where Vatican II was taking the Church? Leo XIV’s latest catechesis on Gaudium et Spes reveals a Church increasingly concerned with water, poverty, pollution and worldly peace, while the old Catholic proclamation of Christ the King has quietly disappeared.On September 2, Leo XIV began his series of catechism lessons on Vatican II’s Pastoral Constitution on the Church in the Modern World, Gaudium et Spes. Oddly, he opened...

Nike is set to be removed from the S&P 100, a subset of the S&P 500 that tracks 100 major blue-chip companies across multiple industry groups, later this month. This comes after the company lost nearly 80% of its value since 2021. As The Gateway Pundit reported last month, the woke brand’s stock price plunged to a 12-year low after spending the last decade championing left-wing social justice causes. As of Saturday, the company has a market cap of roughly $57 billion, losing more than $200 billion in value since its all-time high in November 2021. The stock is down...

Robin Morgan, a prolific feminist writer and radical activist who edited the landmark 1970 anthology “Sisterhood Is Powerful,” served as editor in chief of Ms. magazine for five years and helped organize one of the first protests of the Miss America pageant, died on Saturday in Manhattan. She was 85. The death, in a hospital, was confirmed by her son, the musician Blake Morgan, who is her sole survivor. From the front lines of a much-splintered feminist movement, Ms. Morgan gave voice to women as a poet, journalist, novelist, memoirist, agitator and iconoclast. She came of age in the civil...

IntroductionIn the early 1980s, spreadsheets were still a nascent idea. VisiCalc had proven the concept and created the market, but it was Lotus 1-2-3 that turned spreadsheets into a business phenomenon. Launched in 1983 by Lotus Development, 1-2-3 combined raw speed, integrated graphing, rudimentary database features and programmable macros into a single, keyboard-driven package that ran well on the IBM PC. The result was an application that not only dominated office automation for a decade but also shaped how people thought about end-user computing.This article revisits Lotus 1-2-3: what it introduced, why it mattered, and how its ideas echo in...

The fundraising groups of Donald Trump and Elon Musk have boosted spending on US House and Senate races by millions of dollars less than two months before election day. Maga Inc, the pro-Trump Super Pac, spent $10mn on ads benefiting Texas Republican Senate candidate Ken Paxton against Democrat James Talarico, while Musk’s America Pac dropped $3.7mn this week to boost Republicans across the country. Maga Inc’s first significant expenditure this year comes as Republicans have questioned for months whether the Super Pac will spend its $400mn war chest or save it for future elections or Trump’s own interests. This week,...
