Inside Ohio house of horrors where 16 ‘feral’ kids were rescued — stomach-churning pics reveal filthy, inhumane conditions

Quote:

The victims, aged 1 to 18, were mostly confined to the cramped space for at least the past four years, according to authorities, who have described the grisly scene as “deplorable” and “third-world” — and even said local livestock have better conditions than the kids did.

I love that local officials in Ohio confidently refer to the "third world" as though they could have any reference for what that entails visually.

Iran’s mysterious, “probably gay” supreme leader is so elusive that even his own president isn’t convinced he met him in a bizarre one-on-one in the back of a dark car

This reminds me of stories about what a certain "probably gay" and allegedly Muslim former US president got up to in the back of a car

I'd rate her a 5/10.

Unless she mixed me a few cocktails using her bartending skills, before becoming flirtatious with me.

That might bump up the rating a bit.

Yeah I see that. Tbh I was never really sold on the 1-10 attractiveness scale, for me it's more of a binary thing. Either would or wouldn't. But while AOC in her current form is a yes, it's not a hugely enthusiastic yes.

Professor’s Death Leaves Behind Hard Questions for Cambridge on Race and Hiring

Surprisingly decent writeup from the NYT about the Cambridge "plagiarism" scandal (plagiarism is the least of it to my mind). The guy is a victim of, above all, the soft bigotry of low expectations.
