Also, all this “frontier AI” nomenclature is so laughably colonialist that it has to be on purpose. 🙄

Ha ha that’s gross and should make everyone uncomfortable, anyway, Rahm presided over a Chicago police black site, lied about what it was and then I sued the Chicago police for its records that proved it:

“If you are staring at an example of social disorder or social inefficiency, and the left refuses to explain either why it has happened or how they will fix it, then the right gets to point at someone in the immediate area and say, ‘That’s who did it.’” crazy how much Mamdani speaks my language

I bought a Quran in the weeks after b/c I wanted to know if it said what politicians said it did (it didn't). The Qurans had been moved to a random section, presumably to prevent folks from trashing them. The clerk rang it up quietly, but I'll never forget how furious she looked at me

Hey I'm not actually done talking about Dolly Parton. 🧵 Specifically I want to talk about her album 9 to 5 and Odd Jobs, released in 1980 (not the soundtrack to the film 9 to 5, that's a different thing). The whole album is about work, with most of the songs focused on a different type of worker.

There are four men in the photo, one of which is wearing a safety vest. The man in a safety vest is holding a small kitten, who is wearing a tiny hard hat. The kitten in a safety vest.The kitten in a safety vest and tiny hard hat.

A load bearing mythos of pop leftism is that the Dems used to be good and for the working man and then embraced neoliberalism so the working man got sold out, instead of "white America as a whole turned on the Dems after the Civil Rights Act and began tearing down their own commons and prosperity"

Once had a male bookstore clerk comment on the various genres I was buying, indicating that Ferrante was 'romance.' I laughed and laughed. It's a shame the Neapolitan novels' covers are so bad; I think it was an insurmountable barrier for a lot of dudes

It's absolutely insane we've somehow let the Covid recriminations debate become like "why didn't we reopen in person schools before there was a vaccine" and not "why did none of the trump guys go to jail for stealing PPE from New York hospitals in March 2020"

and also, isn't white supremacy such a profound intellectual error that you should immediately question the basic capacities of anyone who indulges it?
