"Teaja Adams, a rising senior at Edgewood High School. She said in a statement that referring to the class as “divisive” means they are uncomfortable with learning about the past “unless it’s whitewashed,” but what’s really divisive is not being honest about history." Teaja Adams knows what's what.

If you don't wanna talk so much about racism you have to fix the racism. Doing another racism does not make it go away??????

Saw the new Bad Boys: Ride Til the Wheels Come Off the Chopper or whatever tf. I think my essay holds up better than this chapter of the franchise. (I'm not psychic I just pay a lot of attention.)

If you think that voting doesn't matter, you're naive and reckless. If you think the work stops with voting, you're ignorant about how much our horrific systems and structures continue to harm under every presidency. The work encompasses and surpasses voting. We have big, big work to do.

The official 2024 GOP platform makes a reference to "Christian-hating Communists" who the Republicans will keep from entering the country. Back in the early days of the America First movement, "Christian-hating Communists" would have just been a longer way of saying "Jews."

"unprovoked war on fossil fuels" Sir. Too much carbon dioxide (from burning fossil fuels!) has turned the earth into a sous vide machine. Just because your froggy climate change lost cause promoting ass doesn't believe science doesn't mean the rest of us are ok with slowly boiling!

What this article leaves out is that if you hand your unlocked phone to a police officer, they can legally search it. Unless companies develop a method that allows you to show officers insurance cards and driver license without unlocking the rest of your phone, don't.

What's weird is how much coverage there was of the surging right and a collapsing center and but no attendant deep coverage of the left? Not even to explain why news orgs seemed to be ignoring it other than stories accusing antisemitism b/v of opposition to Israel policy. So frustrating.

He concedes this toward the bottom, he's just identified it as "taste." Again, very pained.

No, but they can sure harbor a lot of grievance when their soulless squiggles are not rewarded with fawning adulation instead of dismissal ... that's the story of Adolf and his basic-ass paintings no one wanted, and his crusade against "degenerate art."

This is oddly fascinating in the sense that it doesn't appear that the writer has spent any time with actual artists. He has so little understanding of why or how people make art.

yes, we boiled the planet, but it was worth it to make a machine that, instead of adding two plus two, takes the statistical average of every answer to questions containing "what" "is" "two" and "plus" from a database of illegal cell phone transcripts and returns a fake nude pic of a high schooler

Yes. Fertility fraud is one. But this guy wasn't just perpetrating fertility fraud— he was doing so with the explicit mission of creating an army of progeny to further his multigenerational white supremacist mission after they watched the many many YT vids he made for them. It's diabolical

making things up is very fast! rushing to judgement takes no time at all! doing even the most basic due diligence on things - especially in an information environment like this one - takes so much longer than you might expect.

just to get all process-y for a minute: a reason that media publlications don't operate at the speed of X or Reddit is that reporting - gathering information, assessing credibility, reviewing source documents, talking to people, checking facts, getting comment - takes longer than "big if true"

The series is poorly constructed and leaves A LOT of reporting on the table. Doesn't talk to any Kenyan women who were duped into impregnating themselves with the sperm of a person who is seeking to bleach them. No context on contemporary race science/eugenicist movements radicalizing via internet
