It's probably bad that every hundred years or so in this country, the government decides to pay reparations to white supremacists, but reparations to Black and Indigenous people are consistently deemed a nonstarter or too hard.

The same week the NYTimes was devoting its significant resources to producing this ridiculous piece about Lauren Sanchez Bezos's call for rich people to not worry and be happy, Ryan Hass, an independent journalist in Oregon, was investigating this horrifying story about a death in an Amazon plant.
Someone Has to Be Happy. Why Not Lauren Sánchez Bezos?
As half of an unfathomably powerful couple, Mrs. Sánchez Bezos seems to have influenced the uber-rich to stop apologizing, and start enjoying themselves.

articles like these begin with the assumption that christianity (and its leaders) are somehow removed from politics and/or culture. the only thing remarkable about leo’s beef with trump is NYT’s round of truly bad religion reporting.

There is a schism in the Democratic party that is deep, wide and based on race. This survival of this country likely depends on it being recognized & reconciled before it's too late. When Black voters no longer desire to save this country from itself, it's a wrap.

The framing is "androids don't have emotions". Data himself partially accepts this. It explains his difficulties relating to humans. But it isn't true! His emotions are different, but they exist. I think ST:TNG is deliberately exploring the tension between this belief and reality.

This is an excellent analogy, because my recollection from grade school is that the pen on the right looks fun and exciting, and then you play with it for a few minutes and realize it's not actually useful for anything and in fact makes some tasks more cumbersome, and never think about it again.

We literally do disagree about this, though. Some politicians want to take food from children and some politicians don't. Pretending this "isn't political" just allows the child-starving ghouls to get away with it. Tell people who supports the *political program* to feed children and who doesn't!
We can disagree about policy. But we should never disagree about whether a child deserves to eat.

It’s hard to convey just how much Chicagoans are mobilizing against ICE. Don’t want to downplay the harm, or make it seem like a fair fight. But in neighborhoods across this city, ICE is getting chased by people blowing whistles and shouting. People are running TOWARD ICE to protect their neighbors.
