WBD's stock price has tanked ~78% since David Zaslav was announced as CEO— $32.68 on 05/19/21 to $7.32, today— to say nothing of the brand loyalty, goodwill, & creative talent he's destroyed. It is amazing & genuinely horrifying that anyone could fail this badly, & remain in a position of authority

Man, all they had to do to make AP African American Studies classes focus less on racism was make the last 400 years go a little better.

Or: he was affirming that what someone was speculating about in the skeet that he was quoting was already happening and you jumped to an incorrect assumption about someone who's probably done more to organize populations that include migrant farm workers than you ever will.

I tend to describe it as wading through an open sewer. I just looked in and Kilgore is on a roll. He's not satisfied with Holocaust denial, he's also claiming "Zionists" orchestrated 9/11 and blamed it on Muslims.

"degrees of conservatism" does not sound to me like someone who gets it, but gotta hold on to that shred of self-righteousness somehow I guess.

I'm not much of a bolognese person but I kind of "invented" arrabbiata sauce before I learned about arrabbiata sauce, so this sounds correct to me.

As someone whose plans for the future went from "I should be able to retire at 65" to "I don't know if my body will hold up that long" within the span of the last two years, I urge all of you to remember this.

I too used to be an 'oh, NOW you care' person when I was younger. I was profoundly annoyed with ppl who didn't "understand" what I already knew & then all of a sudden started caring. Then I realized that was a ME issue, not at all about them. EYE was annoyed while THEY were coming to consciousness.

If you think "working class" is white male auto workers who live in the suburbs, and not multiracial Starbucks baristas, Amazon warehouse workers, and Wal-Mart greeters of all genders, you are perpetuating a revanchist racist myth, the reality of which died with Reagan.

A couple of years ago, @mskellymhayes.bsky.social tweeted something like, "work the problem like someone who wants to find a solution, not like someone who wants to have been right," and I've thought about it so much since. It's harder than it should be but also the only way forward.

Ack, now I'm having flashbacks to some UK show with a woman making paté out of her placenta and serving it at a party (the guests knew what it was). And when I went to fact check my memory I got a lot more search results than I would have liked.
