His name was stricken from the record, all our knowledge of him erased not just from written history but from our collective memory.

As a Texas voter, this makes him more appealing.

"Like Amazon Prime, but with human beings."

Since we’re on the topic of asking people for comment …

Weird how all these files have been missing until moments before being released and not as some conspiratorially believe held for years and years by countless local, state and federal law enforcement agencies as well as 4 full recent years of a Dem president who had a Dem led house & Dem led senate

Propagandist for the greatest explosion of Nazism in American history doubles down on insisting Nazis be given air time on "60 Minutes" to spread lies about the people they kidnapped, tortured, and sent to concentration camps.

“How can you suddenly dislike art when you find out it’s made by AI?” For the same reason I can dislike art when I find out the employees were overworked and underpaid. Because I care about people. You dipshit.

WHO GIVES A DAMN? It’s a public service, right there in the name. It exists as a public good for all the people in this country. It’s not supposed to turn a profit, you dolts. Go audit the Pentagon and see what kind of return on investment we’re getting there.

SOS Need assistance with gas money to get home today from visiting family. My car is below E. Family will not help, there is no available assistance programs. $10 would get us home. PayPal and Cashapp links in linktree. #mutualaid #MArequest #mutualaidrequest #fuel #helprequest #sos #help

If you’re wondering why your friends in academia are a little on edge right now, it’s because an eighteen-year-old who hasn’t done the reading, doesn’t look at the assignment, and has does no critical thinking skills more complex than “because I think it’s in the Bible” can literally end your career

Three months ago, my dear friend Hani was murdered while trying to feed his family. His sister Faten has cancer, and sleeps in a freezing tent with her hands, feet, and eyes swelling more and more every day. I love this family with all my heart. I can’t keep watching them die. gofund.me/2550fc5e2

As Trump increasingly enables plutocrats, his kids, and other allies to take more than they give, this formulation seems like the inversion of reality, except insofar as Trump, his children, and Elon Musk are themselves immigrants or the children of immigrants.

lmao at the White House dot gov sign off.

Now if we could just get people to view US prisons through the same lens they view CECOT.

"The other states bringing the lawsuit are Oregon, Washington, New York, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Maine, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, New Jersey, New Mexico, Pennsylvania, Vermont and Wisconsin, as well as the District of Columbia."

We need your help to see the full picture of how the dismantling of the Education Department's Office for Civil Rights is affecting students, parents, school employees and their wider communities. Here's how to reach out:

I think shooting innocent civilians is bad.

WaPo reports that ICE is planning 7 massive human warehouses holding 5,000 to 10,000 people. Recalls the acting ICE director 2015 statement that he wanted to see a “business”-oriented approach to deportations, “like [Amazon] Prime, but with human beings”. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

“wet dream” implies the existence of—no. No. I’m not doing this hack shit. One thing existing does not mean it also has an extant opposite or inversion. No one thinks this and it’s usually just a way to write a dumb pun or intrusive phrasethought. I’m too good for this. Dry nightmare

Merry Christmas Eve from the doll that sits outside of my room at my Mother-in-laws house.

My latest newsletter is about the spiked 60 Minutes story and the reactionary psychology of Bari Weiss.

The news about Harlequin translators getting fired en masse? You should care about that. They're doing it there because they think nobody gives a shit about romance and so it's fine to experiment with it first.

So I am going to say something about romance as a genre. A lot of people think that romance is ignorable because <insert thing they think about romance> and romance authors don't count because <insert thing they think about romance>. This thread is not about whether you have to like romance.

James Merril’s poem “Christmas Tree,” written while he was dying of AIDS. 1995.

I need BONES for explosives

I very much don’t regret hedging my bets with my award video now. I’m fine with this reasoning. I can understand playing with AI BS back then. I dicked around with really early image makers like many people did when it seemed more like a toy. So yeah, not gonna pillory it, glad I hung back a bit.

“One day, a woman wrote to me on Signal, asking me not to respond. She lived alone, she messaged, and planned to die that weekend. Before she did, she wanted at least one person to understand: Trump had unraveled the government, and with it, her life.” @hannahnatanson.bsky.social essay:

This is genuinely horrifying. Fact-free far-right agitprop given accolades by credible media across the political spectrum.

Until 1990 (NINETEEN-NINETY) a man could not be convicted of raping his wife in Scotland

CBS burying the 60 Minutes CECOT story is exactly why the Ellison family shouldn’t be allowed to buy Warner Bros. Discovery

It's important to note for the consultant people: Kat is tied for first place, she's raised more money in this race than anyone else, and she hasn't used Twitter in months. It's a website filled with racist AI snuff films and it's rigged against you specifically. There's no good reason to use it.

At first glance I thought this was a book on how to cook men.

the samizdat 60 minutes report www.theverge.com/policy/84943...

🚨 BREAKING: Harvard now scrubs race, ethnicity, and national origin from alumni admissions interview reports. We’re calling out this censorship because this policy violates civil rights and shuts the door on equal opportunity for Black students and students of color.

Another ironic example of when the US was used as a comparison for freedom vs authoritarian countries, also from the Zand book.

There was no treasure on Treasure Island, the locals said.

I'm photographing and writing about the bark of every tree in the eastern US. My latest: silver maple 🍁

NEW: Ohio has just restricted mail voting, banning the so-called 'grace period' that allows mail ballots to come in the day after Election Day as long as they've been postmarked in time. This is likely to lead to thousands of Dem-leaning ballots to be rejected. Ohio is following Trump's demands.

So everyone's watching the 60 Minutes that was supposed to be banned and everyone who knows how PDFs work can unredact the Epstein files, it's like the Christmas spirit has irony poisoning this year

San Francisco Bay Area, PLEASE retweet - here's the front desk phone number for KPIX. It's buried deep in the website. 415-362-5550. Press #3 to leave a comment. Call them, say you are boycotting all CBS and Paramount properties until Bari Weiss is replaced

okay but seriously, from Ben Shapiro to Hitler why are so many fascists people who want to be in the arts but are utterly incompetent at it and make that everyone else's problem
