I think it is true a lot of Gen Z is unaware that they are using terms that got adopted by Stormfront adjacent areas at least partially ironically, but that doesn't make it any less dire that that sort of language is being normalized.
Edit of the "Calvin's Dad Explains Record Players" Calvin & Hobbes comic

Calvin's Dad: "Playing internet slang? I'll show you something interesting. The two types of slang are Nazi and AAVE. All slan galls into these two categories. Rizz? AAVE. Chad? Nazi.

Calvin: "Yeah..."

Calvin's Dad: "Serving cunt? AAVE. -maxxing? Nazi. Despite being actually funny, -slop is Nazi."

Last panel is Calvin in bed unable to sleep.

I had the immense pleasure of creating a portrait of Marjane Satrapi for the NYT Book Review back in 2021. It accompanied the original review of Persepolis from 2003. I came to know her work through it. If you're in NY, it will be reprinted in an upcoming tribute edition of the paper. 🕊

The NAACP is urging Black athletes and fans to “withhold athletic and financial support” from public universities in states that “have moved to limit, weaken or erase Black voting representation”
NAACP Calls on Black Athletes & Fans to Withhold Athletic and Financial Support of Public Schools in States Attacking Black Voting Rights

The NAACP today is launching the “Out of Bounds” campaign, a national call for Black athletes, families, fans, alumni, and consumers to withhold athletic and financial support from public universities in states that have moved to limit, weaken, or erase Black voting representation in the wake of the Supreme Court’s 6-3 ruling in Louisiana v. Callais, which gutted what was left of the Voting Rights Act The NAACP identified eight priority states — Tennessee, Louisiana, Alabama, Florida, Mississippi, South Carolina, Texas, and Georgia — and targeted flagship public athletic programs generating more than $100 million in annual revenue that continue to recruit Black athletes while their state governments dismantle the political power of Black communities.What these states have done is not a policy disagreement. It is a sprint to erase Black political power,” said Derrick Johnson, National President & CEO, NAACP. “These actions happened in days, in some cases in hours, of a Supreme Court ruling that gives extremist lawmakers a playbook to erode Black representation. The NAACP will not watch the same institutions that depend on Black athletic prowess to fill their stadiums and their bank accounts remain silent while their states strip Black communities of their voice. Out of Bounds is our answer: we are naming the contradiction, and we are calling on Black athletes, families, fans, and consumers to act on it. The same power that built these programs can be redirected. And it will be.”

The economic stakes of the campaign are significant. The flagship universities in the eight targeted states collectively generate billions of dollars in annual athletic revenue.

Strong evidence that the shooters at the mosque in San Diego yesterday held both Islamophobic and antisemitic beliefs. Our safety is bound up together, no matter how much politicians may try to divide us.
"NBC News: Investigators are trying to authenticate a 75 page document possibly left behind by the suspects involved in yesterday’s shooting at a mosque in San Diego.

If true, the documents are hateful, anti-Islamic, anti-Semitic, and espouse the views of accelerationists."

why does google suck now

Google search feels worse today because its core experience has been traded for ad revenue, clutter, and automated summaries. Several systemic changes have contributed to this decline: 

YouTube
·Alex Falcone
 +2
Ad Clutter and Sponsoring: Top results are heavily dominated by pay-per-click ads and sponsored content, forcing authentic organic results further down the page.
AI Overviews: AI summaries frequently occupy the most prominent space above the search results, which can sometimes scrape and surface incorrect information instead of directing you to the original source.
SEO Gaming: A constant arms race between Google and websites optimizing for search engines means that many results are filled with affiliate links and keywords, rather than genuine, high-quality human content.
Reduced Discoverability: Google has heavily deprioritized exact-match boolean searches (like putting phrases in quotes) and natural language queries, meaning it hides the niche human-written content you are actually looking for. 

seo2.onreact.com
 +5
If you are frustrated with the current state of search, you can bypass the clutter by modifying your habits or trying alternative platforms:
Add "Reddit" to Queries: Many users rely on finding actual human discussions by appending site:reddit.com or just "reddit" to their search.
Try Privacy-Focused Engines: Alternatives like DuckDuckGo filter out the heavily bloated tracking and aggressive sponsored widgets.
Consider Paid Search Alternatives: Platforms like Kagi offer ad-free, premium search experiences designed to surface high-quality human content rather than SEO-farmed websites.

"Panelists poked fun at citizens of largely Jewish Florida communities and used the term “j-pilling,” a slang term for skepticism of Jewish influence. Attendees complained that the event veered from antisemitic to misogynistic, with Mr. Schaffer quipping, “Most girls don’t need to be doing algebra, right?”"

Right-wing nationalist antisemitism is not just hatred of the Jew qua Jew, but a worldview in which the diasporic Jew stands for urban modernity and ideology seen as threats to the hard borders of the nation-state. This is why the Israeli right had to reinvent Judeobolshevism from first principles.

DID YOU KNOW!! A Freestyle side story from 2023. First published as the cover of NCTE's Voices From The Middle (a pull-out cover!), exploring the theme "interrogating the world through inquiry."
A full-color comic. Page one.

PANEL ONE
Cory Tan from FREESTYLE is playing with his yo-yo, when...

PANEL 2
The string snaps.
CORY: Ack!!

PANEL 3
Closeup of text messages on a phone.
CAPTION: Back when Sunna was teaching Cory how to yo-yo, and his string snapped for the very first time...
Cory Text: sunna help
Cory Text: S O S
Cory Text: sunna!!!!!
Sunna Text: WHAT

PANEL 4
Sunna and Cory sit on a park bench. It's a fall day; people walk and run nearby.
SUNNA: All right, open it up.
CORY: Oh boy. Okay.

PANEL 5
Cory is surprised to see the inside of the yo-yo as he pulls it open.
SFX: pop
Cory: ...Huh?Comic continues. PAGE TWO.

PANEL 1
Cory peers at half of the yo-yo. The broken string rests by its loop on an axle.
CORY: I thought the string would be tied on. Like, with a knot.

PANEL 2
Sunna pulls out a new string from a bag.
Sunna: Nope. Yo-yo string is one long strand folded in half and twisted together --

PANEL 3
A brand-new string approaches the open yo-yo.
Sunna: So you can just slip that hole at the fold right over your axle.
Cory: Oh!

PANEL 4
Cory throws his freshly repaired yo-yo.
SFX: vshhh
Cory: That's cool and all, but why not just tie it on?
Sunna: Well...

PANEL 5
The yo-yo spins on the end of the string.
Sunna: For starters, you wouldn't be able to throw that sleeper.
Cory: Whaaat?!
SFX: vshhhComic continues. PAGE 3

CAPTION: Yo-Yo Facts With Sunna!

PANEL 1
A drawing of Cory raising his hand as he holds a yo-yo, labeled fig.1(a), followed by a drawing of him throwing his yo-yo, labeled fig.1(b)

CAPTION: The sleeper is a trick we take for granted today. It's simple: you throw your yo-yo down...

PANEL 2
Cory looks angrily at the viewer. His yo-yo is still spinning at the end of the string. Labeled arrows point to it, reading "kinetic energy!" "momentum!" "Friction slows it down!!"

CAPTION: And it spins at the bottom of the string until it runs out of energy.

CORY: Physics?!

PANEL 3
Cory runs across a globe in a starlit sky, doing a trick with his yo-yo.

Caption: While the yo-yo is spinning, you can use it to perform all kinds of string tricks --

PANEL 4
Cory returns the yo-yo to his hand.

CAPTION: Which wouldn't be possible if the yo-yo came back to your hand right away!
SFX: ka-ching!

PANEL 5
A panel in monochrome. An oldey-timey fellow with a suit and mustache shows off a yo-yo while two children in school uniforms applaud.

CAPTION: But that's how things used to be. When yo-yos shows up in the States in the 1800s, their strings were tied to the axle with a knot.

OLDEY-TIMEY FELLOW: Hark! It returns!
CHILDREN: Gracious!

PANEL 6
Monochrome illustration of Pedro Flores with a yo-yo, labeled Pedro Flores (1896-1969).

CAPTION: Everything changed in 1928, when a businessman from the Philippines named Pedro Flores started selling yo-yos that used the Filipino style of string loop.

SUNNA: In fact, the word "yo-yo" probably comes from the Philippines.

CORY: Oh heeey!!Comic concludes. PAGE FOUR

PANEL 1
Sunna does a yo-yo trick. Her word balloons include illustrations of different yo-yo shapes and a ball bearing.

SUNNA: And when that opened the door to new tricks, people started looking for ways to make their yo-yos sleep even longer. Things like changing the yo-yos shape... adding ball bearings...

PANEL 2
Sunna and Cory walk past a Chinese takeaway in NYC. They're both throwing yo-yos.

SUNNA: Even the type of material in your string can make a difference.
CORY: Physics...

PANEL 3
Cory contemplates his yo-yo as it returns to his hand.

CORY: So the way we use yo-yos changes as we figure out new ways to do stuff. And, like... in a hundred years, throwing could be something totally different.

SUNNA: Wild, right?

SFX: ka-ching

PANEL 4

Sunna looks up with a smile. Cory tosses his yo-yo into the air. He's also smiling.

SUNNA: But I bet some things will never change.
CORY: Yeah.
SUNNA: The feeling of landing a trick for the first time...
CORY: Making your first yo-yo friend.

SFX: vshhh

PANEL 5
A silhouette against the sunset: Cory and Sunna walk away together.

SUNNA: Accidentally hitting your own face.
CORY: Accidentally hitting other people's faces.
SUNNA: Hey, maybe we'll fix that.
