I went into my library's database of Chicago area newspapers to confirm this isn't fake, and it's not. @chicago.suntimes.com Why the hell are you using ChatGPT to make up book titles? You used to have a books staff. Absolutely no fact checking?

WOW. The Trump admin said they will review social media and deny immigration benefits to people saying antisemitic claims. They're even trying to deport people with green cards on alleged claims of antisemitism. Anyway, here's a tweet from an Afrikaner they flew here on Monday.

SINNERS is now the biggest Hollywood original movie of any kind at the box office since 2017 when Pixar's COCO came out. To find a live-action movie that made at least $200M domestic, we have to go back much further. This is truly bananas. www.slashfilm.com/1857902/sinn...

I don't think it can be overstated how much things are what they are because elites had their brains exposed to criticism on the internet and responded with this (which applies to them, not you, of course. you are a pig person who should shut up ). www.nytimes.com/2022/03/18/o...

Whatever impostor syndrome you may have once had, dispose of it fucking immediately. If these people run the country, you deserve that promotion, you can run for city council, you can start that business. If this is the baseline, shit, you can do surgery drunk in an alley and you will do less harm.

Can't be overstated how fucked up it is that Black folk came up with a word to express people being aware of the oppression of other people and it's now targeted by far right governments globally as something evil that must be destroyed

It’s weird to live in a time when basic principles like cruelty is wrong, cheating is empty & the idea that curiosity, generosity, originality, the satisfaction of earned accomplishments & loving intimacy are the center of a good life feel like countercultural concepts

Two observations: 1/ His "haha" at 0:30 is so bizarre, and maybe the only time I've ever heard him (try to) laugh? 2/ When he said "Maybe it was AI" does he mean maybe an AI posted the photo too?

It is not the job of a group being hounded out of public life by media and the state to “extend grace” to the people doing it. This is the essence of the disingenuous “both sides” framing that helped make fascism a mainstream political option, and the Times and others bear a fair share of the blame.

If you think you can't make a political issue out of "people shouldn't be grabbed off the street and put in a foreign gulag forever," maybe consider getting out of politics/punditry. And these aren't technical slogans: they appear in the Declaration of Independence and in the Constitution (twice).
