Mengele-Assed Grotesqueries Again
RFK is undoing human subjects protections so he can conduct placebo trials of vaccines. That means infecting people knowingly. I wonder who will “volunteer” for these trials? If history is any guide, a lot of incarcerated and other powerless people.
Dismantling the Institutional Review Board (IRB), that oversees all human subjects research, is bad. Really bad.

“It is important to demonstrate that authoritarian gains are not permanent. That liberal society has the will to undo their grotesqueries.
Demolishing the Trump ballroom and restoring the East Wing will be symbolic. But symbolism matters to authoritarians.”

Spoke with someone this week who sort of shrugged at the reflecting pool story as trivial because, in broad strokes, it is. Trump benefits to some extent from the real grotesqueries being one level beneath the (fraying, peeling) surface.
Let’s not lose sight of the fact that this ongoing political humiliation and national embarrassment, which now entails Times exposés, political arrests of blameless citizens, and inter-agency warfare, entirely stems from Trump’s bizarre and pointless desire to paint the Reflecting Pool bright blue.
The New York Times identified dozens of areas throughout the newly installed liner of the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool that showed signs of bubbles, tears or peeling.

Sandilands & Henderson still broadcasting his desperate, vacuous, bullshit grotesqueries against girls & women to make headlines. Paid $10m+ each a year, coddled by amoral management, cynical gossip writers, pathetic regulators & fawning Prime Ministers. Money's talking, with nothing to say.
As the former newsreader I try not to comment on this show for the sake of my mental health, but this is gross and disgusting.
Him and his enabler Jackie “0” Henderson should hang their middle aged heads in shame.

In a very literal sense, the radicalisation of the merkin lady relies on Naziesque caricatures & libels of trans women as absurd grotesqueries hellbent on actually directly interfering with them & their kids.
It plays on deeply embedded traumas from patriarchal abuse. It triggers a limbic reaction.

Netflix's new reality show "Wonka's Golden Ticket" uses AI Gene Wilder as its host. The beloved comedian passed away in 2016, but his voice lives on in AI form. At least Netflix didn't use AI to create the new Oompa Loompas.

“Joey” immediately became a playground insult to go alongside various other bits of nastiness. Now obviously Deacon was a genuinely admirable person and Kirk was a piece of shit, but kids really hate having anybody held up as a model for them and they love their weird grotesqueries.
