At Dr. King's funeral, Harry Belafonte lost his cool with a NYT reporter: “this grievous moment was in part the result of a climate of hate & distortion that the New York Times & other papers had helped create.”It wasn’t just Southerners who laid the ground for King’s death—Northern papers had too.

In light of the conversation about how hard it is to promote your own book: Post a link to buy your book here and I’ll boost it cause you destroyed yourself to get it done, your publisher won’t help you sell it, and you deserve cheers and admiration for your accomplishment.

John Cena is a master of defusing questions designed to get celebrities to say controversial things. Truly, a master of the craft.

The problem with Bluesky cannot possibly be that people are too mean I swear y’all real life forgot what twitter was like just deleted it from your brains.

if nothing else, I'm pretty glad that our current media environment and global internet access means that it's not going to be easy to mythologize these fuckers after they're gone. we have all the records that show exactly what inept, talentless jackasses they all are.

It always cracks me up that this is the only product that users are supposed to shoulder the burden of growing. Apple doesn't call me once a week like "Bad news sir the quarter's not looking good"

quickest way to make me eyeroll at anyone is for them to dictate that they know what "destroyed" feminism or that feminism can be divided generationally rather than by its focus

Great news out of Georgia! ALL of the 15 anti-LGBTQ+ bills have died as the Georgia legislative session comes to a close. This was only possible with intense efforts from local LGBTQ+ activists. Subscribe to support our journalism.

of all the things that will not happen, this will not happen the most. laughable shit. www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

I know she won't because she's a sycophant and a coward, but it'd truly be so funny if she decided to just spill everything at this deposition

having that many episodes allows for SO much room to breathe and experiment. it allows for slow burns and complete character arcs. it's how we got some of our greatest episodes of television.

it's always so cool how people with private nannies seem to think no one has ever thought about asking their parents to watch the kids before

everything is terrible down here but man what an experience it must be to see the planet like this. that's our planet. it's incredible.

It’s not just Ms. Rachel. The biggest names in children’s educational programming are coming out in force to call for kids to be freed from ICE detention. Here’s “Reading Rainbow” host @mychal3ts.bsky.social outside the Dilley Immigration Processing Center.

gonna maybe go with "it's fuckspensive and the city keeps favoring flash-in-the-pan tech assholes over its residents"

Proud of my LL comrades for taking the fight to Dilley today! ICE must be destroyed.

hi, new followers. I'm just another dirtbag West Coast leftist. enjoy your time here.

So this is why I dislike AI witchhunts. Yes, by all means go after authors willingly engaging with this crap. But we should be cautious when it comes to trad pub authors whose publishers announce big AI collabs like this.

And a lot of people, many in positions of power, did a lot of things to cover it up and silence those women. For years. Just so we’re all clear, for the millionth time, he wasn’t sorry and he didn’t have consent. Anyway. Glad that’s all over and stuff like that never happens anymore. 🤡

jesus lord when a post breaks containment it truly is an avalanche isn't it

Pfizer has ended its large Phase III Trial of an updated COVID19 vaccine. They were not able to enroll enough people to meet their goal. A major problem is the FDA’s wholly unreasonable demand that people with chronic conditions, who benefit most from the vaccine, not be allowed to participate.

there's always this weird asymmetry where a thing (like AI in this case) causes substantial, material harm with almost no checks on its power but the backlash to it is expected to adhere to some neutral debate format in the "marketplace of ideas" where even being annoyed by it is seen as irrational

always terrifying to see a post break containment, rip my mentions

this is a great day but it also really sucks to know that the admin is literally going to kill people in retaliation. like we all just have to live with that (unless we're sitting members of Congress who could STOP. IT. ANYTIME.) and it fucking sucks.

me every time I play a video game with a sad storyline

these women are garbage and deserve no sympathy, and it is also true that it's deeply misogynist that they're the first to get axed from this shitshow. it's always easy to hire a woman to "take care of things" and then fire her when things get hairy. the ladies chose that path. ce la vie.

y'all don't blind-link me your substacks, I won't read them <3

lmfao I'm so sorry, I just can't get over how much these people showed full sicko loyalty and debased themselves to subterranean levels for this man and it didn't matter at all just incredible to witness

I don't know how disbarring works but SURELY a person who destroyed the sanctity of THEE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT and lied under oath several times qualifies

wow okay he really is going to fire every woman he placed before he fires the Signalgate dipshit and international party plane podcaster, huh

incredible that he didn't do this back when QAnon and MAGA were desperate to find a scapegoat to blame for not releasing the files, but then he doesn't have good ideas ever, so

me: wonder how my old agency is doing old agency: AI MARKETING IS ABOUT TO BOOM!!! GET IN WHILE IT'S HOT!!!! CHECK OUT OUR CHAT CLIENT! me: I see

what do you mean an ideology that allows men to do whatever they want but severely restricts what women are "supposed" to do attracts shitty men who want to control and demean uppity women

No one knows this because no one learns about tribes in school (including college and law school), but the Constitution does not apply to tribes. The 14th Amendment carves tribes out, which means many or most tribal citizens are *not* birthright citizens, especially at the time of ratification.
