There isn’t a quote more perpetually pertinent than Maya Angelou stating: “When people show you who they are, believe them the FIRST time.”

"I can't believe The New York Times did this" Trans kids? Claudine Gay? Gaza? At some point we have to stop being surprised. The right sees the Times as a vehicle for laundering its conspiracy theories and injecting it into elite America and the Times is very happy to oblige them.

just to be clear, being from a working class background does not actually make it okay to use the environment-destroying plagiarism machine. All use of AI in writing fiction is morally bankrupt, because it steals and it destroys - and that's not even getting into the betrayal of craft.

There's something really gross about the disregard for the incredible and highly available intellectual work of Mira Nair and Mahmoud Mamdani. I don't know how you engage with their obvious depth and thoughtfulness and come away bewildered by their son or his care for people.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE. This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined. It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

His name, @nytimes.com is Jordan Lasker, and you probably know him since he was at the Eugenics Conference you and every other mainstream outlet provided fawning coverage over

While Mr. Mamdani was not a target of the hack, the information about him was included in a database of millions of student applications to Columbia going back decades. The data was shared with The Times by an intermediary who goes by the name Crémieux on Substack and X and who is an academic and an opponent of affirmative action. The Times agreed to withhold his real name.

I think the idea that “people who voted for this should suffer the repercussions” is misguided because the repercussions of this bill are going to impact everyone, including so many people who didn’t vote for it. Political consequences are rarely felt in isolation and only by those who vote for it.

This Christian theocratic project—of which SCOTUS is a crucial part—depends on kids growing up to be bigots. Kids aren’t born to hate. They learn it. We can’t have kids learning to respect differences because that’s how you get communism so we gotta keep letting kids be indoctrinated into bigotry.

This is for mass surveillance. RFK Jr. already said he’d use smartwatch data for his “autism registry.” He clearly sees it as a way to get personal health information without running into HIPAA or asking for consent.
