These are literally the same people who use "soy" as a slur.

[ST: DISCO S1 spoilers, but come on, it's been 8 years, you've had enough time to watch it by now] New theory: divergence point between our universe and the mirror universe is that Grok actually DID replace Wikipedia.

A still from Star Trek: Discovery of Captain Gabriel Lorca. Caption is "Alongside the Wright Brothers, Elon Musk, Zefram Cochrane?"

My copy of #WinterRabbit just arrived, and I can't wait to play it!

A boxed board game entitled Winter Rabbit/ᎪᎳ ᏥᏍᏚ. The cover of the box has a rabbit drawn in a traditional Cherokee style, standing on its hind legs.

Interspersed with the fawning over this guy's oppression complex is a glowing description of seeming utopia Carmel, IN. The article never mentions the city's racial makeup, but since it's such a great place, I assumed it was open to all people. Imagine my surprise when I looked up the census data!

Table containing demographic data for Carmel, Indiana. 2020 census lists 75.72% White alone (Non-Hispanic), 3.26% Black or African American alone (Non-Hispanic), 0.07% Native American or Alaska Native alone (Non-Hispanic), 12.00% Asian alone (Non-Hispanic), 0.02% Pacific Island alone (Non-Hispanic), 0.45% Other race alone (Non-Hispanic), 3.95% Mixed race or Multiracial (Non-Hispanic), 4.53% Hispanic or Latino (any race)

The fascism-laundering NYT is at it again. This piece gushes about the novel idea that conservative Christians are an oppressed minority without once pointing out that they've had outsized influence in American politics for at least four decades.
