I said a version of the part about figuring it out to a group chat like an hour ago You stay good at thinking by doing thinking. There's no way around that. If you let someone else do your thinking for you, they're sharpening their skills while yours decline. Same with an LLM.

Hortman was a catholic who ensured children got fed and her killer was in a psycho church that demanded violent prayer and guess which one is getting the"Christian" coverage

The great @rasjbaraka.bsky.social, mayor of Newark, speaks at the Newark #NoKings rally in the rain. This is the man who was arrested by ICE at the Delaney Hall detention facility. He spoke about the need for ALL of us to stand up for ALL of us.

Do not buy books from Dark Owl Publishing! The owner and operator is Andrea Dawn, a known white supremacist, who is currently on threads talking about plowing cars into protesters.

This is continued journalistic malpractice from the @startribune.com normalizing a violent white male suspect. He owned a private security company called Praetorian Guard, traveled overseas to preach against abortion and LGBTQ+ people, and attended a bible college that preaches "violent prayer."

I have suspected this...and I watched it play out...I kinda did not believe that bestsellers/big were often set up in advance to be bestseller and sure it's not a guarantee but I see it now...they often decide who is going to be the big book and push it. This has been good to know for my ego. Tbh.

I'm going to get ahead of some uninformed outrage. The second-degree murder charges against Vance Boelter are all that can be brought against him right now. Prosecutors can charge him with first-degree premeditated murder, but that requires a grand jury indictment, not just a criminal complaint.

It's pretty obvious that a lot of US mainstream media either doesn't recognise authoritarianism or doesn't want to call it out. Either way, it's an excellent way to destroy trust in your institution.

PBS News Hour. Insisted on watching it after the usual evening news. Didn't really appreciate how good it is as a news show until adulthood, though.

There's a thread on AskReddit asking, "People who have had to drain their life’s savings on a single event, what happened?" 99% of the answers are depressing American stories about medical bills, 1% is an Australian who found a wombat burrowing under their house.

The gunman no doubt thought of himself as a good person, as someone who was pro-life, but his ideology brought him to a place where he shot 17 bullets into a couple who got into politics to help get health insurance for his daughter, who has spina bifida.

The Minnesota assassin appears to be a hate-filled right winger. So can we stop walking on eggshells about MAGA's legitimization of political violence? Yes, Republicans have also been the target of inexcusable violence, but this isn't a "both sides" issue. 1/ A🧵on the danger.

At the end he says his parents, who came here as undocumented immigrants from Mexico, taught him what President Kennedy said: “ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country.” This is literally the vision of public service that the Trump administration disparages.
