I canceled my subscription to WaPo a few years back because they did a very similar puff piece– it was about a ranch in TX that is a "home" for single pregnant women (and I am using "women" specifically here for a reason). What it actually is is a Christian work camp.
Either the NY Times has staff reporters that can't recognize white supremacist shit unless it literally comes with swastikas, or they see a purpose in puff pieces about white supremacists. Neither reflects well on them.

Wow. @nytimes.com has closed their Threads account and left the platform after days of getting just shredded in the replies for their handling of Biden post debate. Now they're getting dog piled on Instagram for running from Threads.

another thing the “just move out of your red state” people don’t get is how disabled people like me—who depend upon care from a team of medical specialists—can’t “just move” finding good doctors, therapists, primary care, etc. is not easy, fast or cheap

The governors of a dozen Republican-led states — AL, AK, FL, GA, IA, MS, OK, SC, SD, TX, UT, WY — opted out of a new federal food assistance program, leaving about 9.5 million students without the aid this summer

Yeah given the racial labor dynamics of this occuring at at Historically Black College and University (HBCU) it's real weird to simplify this to just some raceless rich people, my guy.
lol it’s going to be so stupid in ten years when exclusive schools for rich people brag that they use real human teachers

Remember when some of y'all got real mad at me for doing some back-of-the-napkin math about how much water "AI" likely uses, in light of the fact that they refuse to release their actual numbers? Anyway.
Google’s emissions are up 48% in 5 years. Microsoft’s are up 30% since 2020. Those soaring figures are being driven by mass investments in data centers to power AI tools. Generative AI is a climate disaster and data center expansion must be stopped.

Feel bad for the kids who will never know the joy of visiting a Blockbuster to choose a movie by walking around, loving at the covers of movies

Other than Hurt by Johnny Cash and any version of The Sound of Silence, what are your favorite cover versions of famous songs?

It’s so funny that AI is already a dire existential threat to humanity but only because of the carbon emissions necessary to run it

Me, taking a screenshot of this skeet: "I'm going to send this to everyone I know, hee hee hee." And then the dawning horror that everyone I could send it to is either Gen X or Gen Z. 😭

Look, if you're a Coppola, you have to tell me or it's entrapment.

J and I are watching Fargo S4 (the only one I haven't watched so far) and there is an incredible essay to be written about the violence that is shown on camera and the violence that happens off screen in this entire series. Sadly, I don't have the media criticism chops to write it.

Anyway, you will pry my no-show socks off my cold, dead feet.

Wait, ankle socks?
Some Millennials in my timeline are insecure because Gen Zs are telling them their ankle socks age them. I can't stress enough that you don't need to care about what a bunch of 20-somethings think about your clothes, mainly bc you don't have to care about what ANYONE thinks about your clothes.

Anyway. I hate this, so I'm going to go cry in bed for a little while and then take a nap.
Question for my disabled friends: Can I count medication side effects on my list of disabilities or is that gauche? I just stepped up my gabapentin dosage and, uh, it's wiping me right the fuck out. This sucks so bad.

Added a dose of gabapentin to the regimen and whoo nelly, it's finally knocking me on my ass. If my fingers and toes don't feel better after this, I'm gonna scream.
