Ridiculous to say the shooting today was staged, when it was clearly a battle between rival time travelers

I will bang this drum forever: in THEY THOUGHT THEY WERE FREE: THE GERMANS, 1933-45 Milton Mayer interviewed 10 ordinary Germans after WW2 to learn how fascism took hold. There was never a moment when everyone woke up:

if you’re waiting for everyone around you to wake up, you’ll wait forever. this is how the people grinding our bones to make their bread WANT you to be. paralyzed, alienated & purposeless

Black women have the LOWEST employment rate of the past five years, the GOP is reattacking Black teachers , people tell you they are confused and need resources and we shout “media literacy” And every 2025 story leaves that out And there’s no comparable coverage

The lingering focus on Biden’s shaky debate obscures Trump’s major verbal miscues | Editorialwww.inquirer.com The president must now convince voters he has the mental acuity to do the toughest job in the world. The same bar does not exist for Trump, who loses no points for incoherence or incompetence.

When I think about JK Rowling and/or Harry Potter, which admittedly I rarely do, I think of Ursula Le Guin calling the Harry Potter series “stylistically ordinary, imaginatively derivative, and ethically rather mean-spirited”

This. In the 70s & early 80s I was repeatedly told 'girls don't have autism or ADHD.' I suspected for a long time, self diagnosed since 2006. I might get formally tested, but at this point I'm cool with the benefits of my different brain.

the funniest thing is in the South when you see like 14 baptist churches with congregations of 14 people each within 0.5 miles of each other like there wasn't massive interpersonal pastor schisms

The are entirely too many churches in this country. Not even on some hater shit. There’s just an obnoxiously unnecessary amount of them.
