McWhorter has so many dumb takes to dunk on, but the point of this is basically correct. You will even see his supporters mispronounce or mispell his name on this very website. Sometimes it's disrespect and most of the time it's just lack of familiarity.

"...and that's why king george shall remain our sovereign"

not with that attitude

one thing you can say about this Second Gilded Age is that at least the name isn’t allegorical

With more than 200,000 Black active-duty members serving in the military—historically one of the country’s few avenues of social mobility for the Black community—Hegseth’s grooming policy will no doubt have a devastating impact. That’s no accident.

Regular law abiding country

Okay which one of you told him about the enabling act

It is a little weird to me when someone I work with says something strongly anti-socialism or whatever. It’s like, my comrade-in-arms, we are part of the largest command economy In history. What are you doing.

No that’s stupid

As someone who was a mild Zitron appreciator, the email where he "stakes his reputation" on the thing that lets you use AI to talk to your privacy data (??) strikes me as extremely unethical. I'm not a PR or tech expert, but his reputation is the anti-AI guy. The value he offers the client is uh

TNC is a treasure.

Some more baby tort. #tortoise #reptile #photography #naturephotos

More and more people are saying

It’s completely unrealistic but democrats need to be aiming for a majority in the house and 67 senators.

You can thank the English, history’s most conquerable people

Y’all got some strong feelings about stick ball huh

Just in time for NFTs to really catch on

Let him, it’ll make it easier to tear down later

Such a bummer, especially since i find her to be very overrated.

Greg cow go to court

People seem confused about what happened to Fetterman when the obvious answer is that it was the hoodie all along.

pure love of the game

Not sure why I thought about this but has anyone asked Katie Miller to confirm the musk dick rumor? Do you think Stephen Miller asked her?

goddamn you you've made me reskeet bill kristol

Speaker of the House, an elected member of Congress, is an employee of the president.

I thought I was too cool & jaded but this bothers me more than I thought it would. Also, the Volvo in the photo to do renovations is something else.

I'm not trying to Platner-defend here, but this is his *grandfather*. I don't think that alone is really disqualifying for being working class? Like families get messy, and our categories are not super well defined to begin with.

The only potential upside is if they slice it so thin a wave election flips what would have been 1 seat gains into like three or four.

Oh god, someone’s going to have to be the “it’s not treason it’s sedition” guy again aren’t they

People always love to say I insult people because I want validation from someone, but I'm just in it for the love of the game as an unpleasant person

i hate that i laughed out loud at work here

Fortunately I don’t vote in Maine so I don’t need to double down on my, “hey i like this guys stump speech” take. I can just say, ‘oh he’s bad i guess’ and there are no stakes involved. I feel like this lesson can be applied to many topics and situations in life.

My brothers in Christ, you do not have to complain about how often Stancil is right about something. You can remember more than one retweet at a time.

Many such days, sadly

us whites not beating any allegations today, unfortunately

if i were to find myself casually accounted with many nazis i would simply not make excuses for them, but them i'm built different

how does your personal sense of pride not prevent you from doing this? Just openly telling the world that you're not qualified for this job?

pretty worrying how predictive Peacemaker turned out to be.

I guess my type of poaster today is the totenkopf-knower and maybe focusing on early modern european history hasn't served me all that well

This is not just a “skull and bones” tattoo my man. There are tons of options there, even if you like the German hussar’s deathshead, that was not used by the waffen ss and neo nazis. The military even pays for removal.

This however does not play well wtf bsky.app/profile/soci...

I’m not from Maine and don’t know much about this race but this sounds like a good message to me. Something American communists and socialists used to be really good at was couching economic materialism in the language of the American revolution, and it’s something that I think still plays well.

Is EVERY Republican getting more orange? Is it something in the water??

Good night, Bluesky. Don’t ever change.

Pritzker: "Stephen Miller is clearly ordering people to break the law. So he should know that yeah, it may be three years from now that he is held accountable, but I think it's important for them to know that whatever they do now, it's not like we're going to forget."

If I had explain American history in one sentence, I could do worse than "John Brown was hung for treason, but Robert E. Lee was not."

Credit where it’s due, if he goes through with this it’s certainly not nothing.

One of my favorite things about lendlease was that everything about the P-39 Aircobra that American pilots & planners *hated* were the same reasons the Soviets kept begging for more: the rear engine drive shaft was a maintenance nightmare but who cares when it comes to Easter Front attrition.
