the majority are white. Antisemitism spreads primarily on the terrain of ideology, of narrative & sense-making. It claims to uncover the hidden heart of absolute domination & control. It is a false power analysis, & this is precisely why it is structural. It emerges in times of

i was curious whether china had capital punishment so i went to wikipedia and the article had this amazing ming dynasty painting depicting an execution...i just love the people having tea and snacks in the window while an execution goes down on the street. plus the guy holding his own head lol

a ming dynasty painting. the scene depicts soldiers on the street committing a mass slaughter of prisoners with swords. civilians are watching. in the house above there are two windows. in one is a person leaning over the watch. in the other is two people sitting at a table. in the background above the house, a decapitated prisoner holds his own head. above that, two more prisoners are being led to slaughter.

i really don't understand the appeal of using AI for creative writing. what's the point? it takes all the fun out of it?? creative writing is such a process and the point of it, to me at least, *is* the process and how satisfying it is to figure out a story and research it and everything

Yikes. Women accounted for all of the job losses and all of the labor force decline in July, according to @nwlc.org

WASHINGTON — Women accounted for 100 percent of the decline in the labor force in July, according to a National Women’s Law Center jobs analysis of monthly data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. That brings the total net number of women who have left the labor force since January this year to 845,000. In comparison, there are 406,000 fewer men in the labor force now than in January.

A total of 165,000 women, aged 20 and over, left the labor force last month — meaning they are neither working nor looking for work — while men's labor force participation was unchanged. Overall, the economy lost 23,000 jobs in July. Women accounted for all of these losses, losing 32,000 jobs, while men gained 9,000 jobs. Women make up 50.1% of the workforce.
