“I think we'll look back on the last decade as a time when social media gave previously marginalized groups the ability to speak directly to elites and, as a result, elites lost their minds.” --Michael Hobbes I think the reality is funnier. The marginalized were merely talking to themselves.

By implying that threats of political violence come equally from both sides, NYT is not just deliberately misinforming US, they are incentivizing Republicans to escalate their terror campaigns knowing Corporate Media will always choose false both-sides over holding them accountable for their terror.

It's telling that men would rather try to invent tech to replace humans' role in caregiving than step up as equal partners in parenting. Telling, that is, in that it shows how financial capitalism and patriarchy work together to dissuade men from doing "unprofitable" labor, like the work of care.

My wife: Can you read our baby a book?
Me: I can just play an audiobook from my phone.
My wife: But then it won't be in your voice.
Me: I can train a voice model.
Parenting hits different when you work in Al.

And now MAGA liars are using Vinays disinformation to scream “mass murder.” That’s why it was dangerous to promote this buffoon.
Sen. Ron Johnson: "This is a PROFOUND revelation... The US FDA now admits COVID-19 vaccines KILLED American children."
Healthy kids — virtually ZERO risk from COVID
— were FORCED by Biden mandates into lethal shots.
Leaked FDA memo on child deaths: regulators confess their actions "we have harmed more children than we saved."
They KNEW the risks. They HID the signals. They MANDATED the deaths anyway.
Mass murder by mandate. Where is the justice?
