So, apparently Google is too afraid to make their MLK Day Doodle about anything connected to KIng's actual life or work...instead they made it about marching bands...awesome

Wow, look at this description of the mayhem in L.A. Man, sure am glad Trump sent in troops! (Oh wait, this isn't re: L.A...it's a description of the white boy riot to protest crackdowns on underage drinking at Washington State University in 1998. Never mind).

This is a good start, but River Road is long. May the spirits of the enslaved rise and burn all the concentration camps that, like Nottaway, downplay their evil. No more wedding receptions. Either confront the sickness of white supremacy or let it all burn. Here's hoping that karma is contagious

Making America Great Again, clearly. But remember, Elon told us there would be pain but it would be "worth it," because to oligarchs, recessions are a great chance to use their $$$ to buy up more shit cheaply. It's always worth it to the rich. They never suffer. But they should. A lot.

There's something amazingly subversive about the fact the NYT featured these 2 pics in their Sundance feature. As much as I can hate the Times, this is great. IYKYK. First one to ID the woman on the left and the man on the right gets a prize (Not really but bragging rights). But no looking at NYT!

Anyone who looks at the guy on the right and thinks he's more qualified than the guy on the left is a racist. There is no other conceivable explanation. None.

They are looking to roll back civl rights entirely. If they don't try and repeal the CRA itself, legislatively (as it applies to private business), they will seek to nullify it via lack of enforcement. They are essentially segregationists

this is a notice from the Dept of Labor noting that they will suspend all ongoing investigations into discrimination opened by the prior administration because having repealed Executive Order 11246 they apparently think there is no need, or law, requiring them to investigate such things.

Hard to tell what's the more pathetic thing about this story: that Elon basically cheats at gaming or that he actually thinks being a top gamer is something to care about. No amount of money or power will ever keep this guy from being a loser.

Um, that is not a readout of a phone call...This is what the WH website is calling a readout of Trump's call with MBS. Yeah, gonna need to see more context and specifics, mostly the part about the money...

This is a one paragraph notice that Trump spoke with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman about various topics. But contrary to the title of the entry, it is not a textual "readout" or transcript of the call. It is very vague, raising questions about what they actually discussed

Because nothing says "meritocracy" like a white guy complaining about DEI with a sign like this...

Picture of a white male Congressman speaking in front of a sign meant to attack DEI efforts in the military, but on which the word "military" is misspelled as "miltary."

One week later and this story still hasn't gotten much attention. Some might say it's bc the would-be terrorist was foiled. Sure. But that's only bc the FBI took a tip seriously from a neighbor. Under Trump, I doubt they would care about a far-right loon like this.

Holy hell...why can't everyone just rewind when they miss things, like the rest of us? I don't expect artists to dumb down their work to cater to my tendencies to get distracted. I need to learn how to pay attention. So does everyone else.

OK, so this is how we're gonna deal with the Vegas guy as opposed to the NOLA guy: white Trump supporting former soldier is mentally ill; Black ISIS supporting former solider is just an extremist. Got it...

More evidence of the failure of the American education system. Utter civic illiteracy. Some faces are about to meet leopards. It's heartbreaking.

Wow, so I guess white evangelicals and "Born again Christians" are the most concerned about the price of eggs and gas? Fascinating. I had no idea!

Bar chart showing that white evangelicals voted for Trump by 65 points, while he lost by 18 among everyone else

The cybertruck is a piece of crap, but the people who drive them won't care. To them, owning one is just about grabbing their balls in front of the world: like the assholes who "roll coal" to trigger hippies or something

Only in an upside-down world of white punditocracy could a party which still gets 84% of its votes from white people be called a "multicultural" movement, and not cause everyone to double over with laughter.

If you want to know why some are so afraid of "being replaced" or oppressed by "others" (even when those others are a much smaller share of the population than they are), here's a clue. This chart is from YouGov (2022). They drastically overestimate how many "others" there are...
