Pretty sure I've *never* had to apologize for being white, but then again I can't recall doing anything that drew attention to that other than occasionally clapping on the 1 and 3.

And there it is...

Worth noting, I guess, that inside of a year we've gone from administration officials taking selfies of themselves at CECOT and bragging about how it's hell on earth to now getting their horrible little media worms to kill stories about it

They need more time to “both sides” a fucking concentration camp

Now seems like a swell time to point out that Frontline just released this excellent 11-minute mini-documentary about what happened inside CECOT.

Hate to say it, but you should no longer trust anything from CBS News. I'm sure there are great reporters there trying to do honest work, but how can we know anymore? If they're willing to kill a Trump-critical 60 Minutes segment at the order of Bari Weiss, it's been over.

told my landlord he no longer has to apologize for being white and he lowered my rent by 25%. told the grocer it's now the trump kennedy center and he sold me potatoes for $1. told PG&E it's a christian nation now and electricity is free. try it sometime

UPDATE: in point of fact there is not an innocent explanation for this.

Klein has got to be one of the dumbest people alive.

Bari Weiss spikes a much-anticipated segment on CECOT because she thinks Trump won't like it. That apparently is the ultimate test.

Well, the masks weren’t on very tight to begin with, but they’re fully off now. Weak, pathetic, hateful, insecure weirdos.

A big part of being a historian is being a detective! Who did this? Why? Where? Why does it matter in the grand scheme of things? You have to learn how to probe, how to uncover, how to read against the grain, how to find unusual sources, how to interpret those sources. How to piece together a puzzle

AI Bro from yesterday blocked me. I get that he was upset that people mocked his profession and said it was bad and useless. There’s no way that would ever happen to me, someone with a theater degree

I cannot emphasize enough that the White House has no authority to withhold funds from the Smithsonian. It can, however, try to persuade/threaten Congress to reduce future funding.

In all seriousness the red pill Alpha Male movement’s heroes and role models are an incoherent Trump, a broken jawed Jake Paul, a humiliated Andrew Tate and a wretched Tommy Robinson. And they expect to be taken seriously.

I just spent six years writing a book. I learned how to use archives, how to handle secondary sources, how to structure a 140k-word argument. I fell so hard in love I went back to school for a PhD. Now people ask how I use LLMs to write or summarize and I can only think “You don’t value what I do.”

You absolutely will not convince a bunch of historians and sociologists and whoever else is in this thread that you know more than we do about this and we should use it. I wish you AI enthusiasts would stop wading into our conversations. You have nothing helpful to contribute and are snarky.

Oh wow this is a new low, arguably more insidious and damaging to the integrity of human knowledge than creating fake sources (which at least can be exposed). Reading & judging the quality of the cited support for your claims is the difference between trustworthy research and cherry-picked bullshit

The term "heritage American" being bandied about is irritating b/c of its imprecision. Is it based on length of time in the US of your ancestors, being from England, whiteness, legal citizenship, or some other unspoken category? Because the migration trends in the colonial period & early republic 1/

Cloudy ot not, using modern technology to allow us to continue to witness something the people who lived on our island built in connection with the seasons and the universe thousands of years ago is pretty cool, actually

Unfortunately, there is a certain sort of leftist whose brain breaks once they feel they've been deprived of their revolutionary birthright by losing to the Jews, and they fall *deep* into the deep end of the pool. It seems Jamaal Bowman may be in that category. Sad.

Paul and Tate getting their brains turned to mashed potatoes the moment they stepped in the ring with somebody in the same weight class who isn't afraid to punch back feels like God flashing a big red warning sign to our country.

At what point does it become Bill Clinton's tariff-laden economic decline?

Andrew Tate getting beaten with pink gloves is also v funny

What's so hilariously stupid about Jain's statement is, if someone takes controversial stands and still manages to win (this isn't moneyball, WAR doesn't matter), that makes them a good politician. They're maximizing the utility of their office, not their electoral success.

This is an impeachment offense. One of many but this is a very clear red letter violation of the law.

WASHINGTON (AP) — At least 16 files from Epstein release disappeared from DOJ webpage, including photo of Trump, with no explanation.

Biden ran a point and a half ahead of House Dems generally. But more relevant: you know what winning a seat by 13 points instead of 8 points gets you? Absolutely nothing. Even if Casten traded away a few points he didn't need anyway in order to go further on whatever issue, that's rational behavior!

It’s true if you don’t know how to use Gemini to turn your bar graphs into filthy but derivative anime porn, I won’t even read your paper.

BREAKING: At least 16 files disappeared from the Justice Department’s public webpage for documents related to Jeffrey Epstein — including a photograph showing Trump — less than a day after they were posted, with no explanation from the government and no notice to the public.

The White House has been caught. The administration inserted a photo of Bill Clinton, Michael Jackson, and Diana Ross into the Epstein files and falsely implied it showed them with victims. In reality, it’s a publicly available fundraiser photo featuring Jackson and Ross’s own children.

I love working at the Department of Justice and participating in a conspiracy to cover up the demented 80 year old president's sex crimes. I spend 18 hours a day redacting documents and there's a putrid husk where my soul used to be

Just to be clear. It’s the John F Kennedy center legally. Just like it’s still the department of defense
