📌“The fact that I am American means, among other things, people can’t say, like they did about Francis, ‘he doesn’t understand the United States, he just doesn’t see what’s going on.’
“Do you not see the suffering? Is your conscience not disturbed?”

This is such an embarrassing way to defend an article. “Here’s our new piece. Being mad at it makes it correct! IF YOU DON’T LIKE IT, YOU ARE THE COPS.”

Okay, lady, we get it. You like Bari Weiss. That’s legal in America. Nobody is arresting you.

Ratio me. Please. It's a badge of honor. If you don't like a link, go follow some chicken-heart who needs the approval of the thought-police. Caitlin Flanagan of @theatlantic.com is a tremendous writer and this piece is an excellent read. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Shoutout to the little grey plastic TNG ships with sticker decals that used to be in boxes of Shreddies. I had the Bird of Pray.

Easily the neatest thing the archive is doing, to me, is using grant from CLIR to digitize and upload stories from the KPRC collection about Houston's gay community. Here's a clip from KPRC's "Being Gay" series from 1981 about Montrose. www.texasarchive.org/2025AB00362

Embarrassingly bad, and they always present it as if its the discovery of the theory of relativity or a new gospel.

It’s fools all the way down, Bertrand

The people who called you a predator for being gay? They’re calling trans women predators now. The ones who said you were grooming kids? Same word, just a different target. Drag queens. Trans teachers.

Support trans people or live with the shame in your chest. The disgust that once told us we were wrong is now directed at them.

It's 1982. Disney hopes TRON will be a huge hit and a franchise kickoff. It flops.

I think we really should stop using antifa and just fully say anti-fascist and get them saying they are against anti fascism. Using antifa is giving them some distance and I genuinely think some of their base don’t even know that’s what it stands for.
