This whole thread is really interesting. I think this American attitude Sarah mentions is a key example of how American culture views Violence (incorrectly) as an Aesthetic, rather than as an interpersonal dynamic. And our misunderstanding of it traps us completely.

The first time I was on TV was in the 90's. I only remember the clothing guidelines: plain-English explanations of moiré interference patterns and how some prints would show up wrong. They don't give these warnings now: I'm not sure how much hard-to-photograph clothing is even sold anymore.

So no tariffs for Russia? Seems like this formula would have them at 42%, no? (($3B export - $0.5B import)/$3B export/2 = 41.6%). What a surprising exception.

I think Americans, blessed with relatively stable government for a long time, assume there is someone, some adult, who will step in and make things right before the President does anything REALLY bad. There’s not.

An insidious aspect of the anti-DEI witch-hunt is that it’s pretty common for members of under-represented demographics to be voluntold for this work. So now the unpaid extra labor you were pressured into doing could cost you your job.

SHARE WIDELY. KNOW YOUR RIGHTS. With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights. You have the right to remain silent. Assert it. You have the right to a lawyer. Ask for one. (1/3)

I have a friend who works in enterprise sales and also sleep talks. She runs meetings and sales calls in her sleep. Her husband initially would ask questions or for follow-up, but after realizing it stresses her out and degrades her sleep quality he has moved on to just agreeing to buy everything.

I hope Hunter can overcome this setback to in voter appeal in any future campaign. While his felony conviction may now only be a formality, I think we can all agree that he still qualifies as a full-fledged unhinged nepo baby.

I cannot overemphasize how much the use of technology for harassment is fueled by misogyny, transphobia, homophobia, and anti-blackness. Marginalized groups are the canaries in the coal mine and it is vital to take their targeting seriously.
