I want to teach a class with this as the core text...

I know I don't post here much. I should, but I don't.

Part of it is that it feels performative.
The other part is that I don't want the gestapo snooping on me.

Canvas is down. Whether related to the AWS outage or not I don’t know. Sucks that this is how university infrastructure runs now either way.

I don't think we talk enough about Cultivation Theory and how it has turned vast swaths of people into completely unthinking blobs, like POTUS

$10 says he blamed Mormon's for CK's death

$10 her scriptwriter just used ChatGPT and said "That is great! Use it!"

It’s super bad to suggest someone is in hell, right, Republicans?

It was about "protecting women's sports" in the same way gamergate was about "ethics in gaming journalism."

Hint: if a group doesn't have any organizational structure, and instead affiliation is solely determined by ideological alignment, and the definition is deliberately distorted by its enemies, then declaring it a terrorist organization is solely a tool to dispose of political enemies

Welcome to the human race

Trump's idea of hate speech is as nuanced as Michael Scott's idea of it

The unreality of fascism requires martyrs and Kirk is now a martyr for the fascist state that is being built around us.
I would expect he gets a state funeral as well as all the pageantry that would go along normally with the death of a head of state because the fascist are building myths.

It is quite simply dishonest to describe TPUSA as a “free speech” organization and not even mention the “Professor Watchlist,” as NPR just did. Reporting on a crime does not entail adopting the victim’s views.

Wanna know more about Einstein's anti-racist work, usually in collaboration with the great actor/singer Paul Robeson? I wrote about it for Smithsonian! (don't tell the White House) www.smithsonianmag.com/science-natu...

Someone, somewhere is writing something along the lines of Horst-Wessel-Lied and kick it into martyrdom

If the shooter had killed a leftist podcaster, he would have a multi million dollar Go Fund Me to cover his legal fees tomorrow, and an interview lined up with Charlie Kirk.

The reaction to Kirk’s murder on the right is a reminder that Republicans are the most bad faith people on the face of the planet.

"There is a separation of white people and colored people in the United States. That separation is not a disease of colored people. It is a disease of white people. I do not intend to be quiet about it."

- Albert Einstein, 1946

you cannot be disparaged by your own words... people cannot attack you with your own ideas

if ones words are repeated and they are viewed unfavorably that is not a reflection of the one who repeats

it is a reflection of the author

It's only political violence if it targets white conservatives, otherwise it's the way things are.

Matthew Dowd was right. Stating facts about someone is not celebrating, and CK was unnecessarily cruel, racist, and dehumanizing. His “brand” of rage bait is no different than the KKK of yesterday years. He did nothing to make society better, and actively made it worse.
