This was my maternal grandmother.

I've noticed it too! And I always go for the album one so that the artists get paid.

relinquish. It is the thing still guiding them in their ideas about their superiority (morally in this case). That socially constructed category and identity is still the thing they never want to let go. They are still so deeply tied to it. Thay psychological wage of whiteness is a mofo.

It is because they still want to be the "saviors" of whiteness and white people. Whether they admit or not, they only want to "redeem" those white men at the cost of us. They think it will prove to themselves that they are the "true whites." The core issue is that whiteness they never want to 1/

OK, I'm taking the bait, this is DERANGED! Having your campaign organize charity drives and actually help people is not only a good thing to do to help people, it's good politics! In an obvious way! You have to unscrew your brain out of whatever it got screwed into to disagree with this!

Awww HELL nah! Don't fkn do this, YT!

This is so beautifully accurate about our current present.

They are waiting to say "How dare you help those KneeGrOeS!!" It is hiding under the surface.

Not particularly a fan of cluster rings but points were made.

cluster rings may be ugly to some, but they are also a sign that your partner is thinking of your personal safety. who's that peeking in your window? pow... nobody now.

obvious but still significant that one of the primary and most socially tractable ways some people experience their own “whiteness” is when they decide they’ve been personally deprived something they’re owed, whereas when they get or have things, it’s what they’ve personally earned as an individual

Update. The ICE supervisor, who is 47, was arrested for domestic violence against his non-citizen partner who he started a relationship when she was 18 and he was 40. www.fox19.com/2025/12/22/i...

So they’re using Black neighborhoods as a dumping ground in Houston and here’s the police response… “On Tuesday morning, ABC13 saw police along South Lane and a tow truck that pushed the boat off the road into a ditch. It's unclear why it wasn't towed away.”

Who knows where that money actually is?

Hundreds of residents signed up for FEMA buyouts after Hurricane Helene. Not one has been approved.

I need to check mine now. I've been annoyed with YT music recently because WHY does R. Kelly and Chris Brown keep being suggested to me?! 😤

Morally bankrupt, horserace-style political analysis should have died a while ago.

electoral politics has cooked many brains bc I cannot believe I'm seeing some folks argue "helping people is only worth it if they vote for you"

This is what building resilience looks like - it's creating networks and pathways as well as creating art and it's also what I'm up to at the library

helping people is cool and good. why are we even discoursing about it 😭

Funny shit is going on with my YT playlists. I notice that the songs on them have been switched out. Like, if I put a song on a playlist from the original album, it will get replaced with the same exact song, but from some random "album" I've never seen or heard of. We know what that is.

More than 20% of videos shown to new YouTube users are ‘AI slop’, study finds

When you say "giving ppl tangible help is bad campaign strategy" you're really showing your hand.

This is exactly where those things *would* end up.

Anyone paying even the slightest bit of attention could see that was happening.

She’s outside of their realm of control and it’s the greatest sin ever Nothing these people who are suddenly so VERY VERY angry with her about has anything to do with the officer she’s running for And it’s mostly so they don’t have to talk about anything else .

Never ever forget that a lot of political scientists, academic , and professors thought it was more important to “stop woke” than to talk about this

Somebody suggested The Dead Kennedys might be the worst and I'm like:

also, this happened this year: Following Charlie Kirk’s assassination and the Trump administration’s promise to go after the “radical left” a study showing most domestic terrorism is far-right was disappeared. www.404media.co/doj-deletes-...

liberals are mad at Kat Abughazaleh for spending funds on mutual aid because it defies their little politics game in which they don’t have to care about the real people they’re supposed to care about

what will we do if we’re spending our money helping real people in our communities instead of lining the pockets of some out-of-touch James Carville-esque demon?

being mad that a political candidate is using campaign funds on mutual aid is so weird to me because (1) who does that attitude help other than these bird brained wealthy political consultants? and (2) tangibly helping people is good actually and I think we should do more of it

The Trump administration wants to revamp U.S. childhood vaccination recommendations to align with some other peer nations, including one tiny country in northern Europe.

Wow 😭

December 27, 1988: Doc Rivers and Charles Oakley throw the ball at one another, then throw a few punches—leading to a bench-clearing scuffle between New York and Atlanta. No one was ejected. Oakley was fined $2,000. Rivers was fined $1,500. The Hawks beat the Knicks, 128-126.

5 cash-coin political advice: pay about as much - possibly less - attention to the campaign allocation troubleshooting from a one-time also-ran for a House seat, as you would a John Kerry 2004 speechwriter

unironically a good idea

You can do a lot locally with a dedicated group of 15 to 40 people. Regular people should be thinking at that scale rather than at the scale of thousands.

LMAOOOOO he looks exactly like a nigga I would NOT wanna be smacked by
