What in the name of Anthony Walter Patrick Hamilton are these studies?

Pew puts out a study where black people say that they 'believe' in things that are obviously, historically true, well-documented, and still happening today and calls them 'racial conspiracy theories'; are taken aback when people get mad about it

This shit is part of why it matters when our institutions come for shared governance. We have so much less power to resist attacks from outside and above.

Vance is a Theil-backed bag of shit in a man suit. But Teen Vogue went ahead and did an explainer on all the reasons why. (And is it just me or does he look like a colorized Bela Lugosi character here?)

Every Gen Z Issue JD Vance Is Againstwww.teenvogue.com From guns, and climate change to abortion and LGBTQ rights, the Republican VP is being called “Anti-Gen Z.”

my cybertruck post is really a microcosm of the trans woman experience. my post (of which i made precisely zero dollars on) has repeatedly had the attribution cropped off, reposted by someone who almost certainly is making money off of it, and is also degendering me at the same time.

wife shared this viral tiktok with me but was completely unimpressed when I told her that oomf had made the original post >_<;

Not trying to armchair diagnose or anything, but a whole lot of people who are constantly screaming at other people about Causes on social media exhibit A LOT of behaviors that would make me put them on moral injury burnout leave if they were T&S agents I was managing

Seattle friends! Know how the city has been planting saplings to replace trees that have died from heat/drought/age? The city does not actually water them regularly! In this dry heat, a lot of them are dying. Gator bags say they need 15 gal/week. If you see one in distress on your street, adopt it.
