I unpacked the implications of Nick Fuentes' collaboration with Tucker Carlson and the former Fox News host's willingness to portray the white nationalist livestreamer as a victim.

This is a very good case study as to why obsessively looking for easter eggs and patterns like a wanna-be sleuth and then getting outraged by them is more often than not extremely stupid and counterproductive. www.rollingstone.com/music/music-...

Did you know that a man ranking photos of half-naked men based on their sexiness is the most heterosexual thing you can do?

BREAKING: A federal judge ordered the government to restore Rümeysa Öztürk's SEVIS student record after it was wrongfully terminated in retaliation for exercising her freedom of speech.

This allows her to fully engage with the opportunities of her PhD program.

Oh good, Glenn Beck has created an AI George Washington. You will be shocked to learn that the AI George Washington created by Glenn Beck sounds exactly like what would happen if Glenn Beck built an AI George Washington to sound exactly like Glenn Beck.

Mike is one of the best writers I know, able to cover nasty subjects clearly and ruthlessly without straying away from his enormous heart. So much of himself went into this book. The bits I’ve had the pleasure of reading so far are illuminating, moving, and reflective — but never corny or stretched.
Hey folks, my first book is out in April! It's a narrative non-fiction account of five years of life in Berkeley Springs, WV after the "great replacement" fixated group VDARE bought a 19th century castle there.

It was designed by two Azerbaijani artists who created something similar for the UN in 2017.
if i was still a race reporter, i'd maybe write about how the image looks almost exactly like the image on the first edition on the cover of the deeply racist novel "the camp of the saints" which is in vogue with the racists running this country (and beyond).

(*i'm still a reporter, really)
If I was still an art reporter, I would write about the sculptor behind this and whether it intentionally looks like the hands of decaying people

Friends know I nearly killed myself writing it. I tried something different from other Trump-era books about the right. It emphasizes ordinary lives over extremists.

There's also stuff about what was happening inside SPLC and... it doesn't exactly measure up to the standards of a civil rights org!

I didn't realize that the pro-eugenics natalist couple that was inexplicably profiled by several major outlets for having a lot of kids through IVF started a podcast. Here's an unlistenable episode where they try and argue that Hitler was a hipster and not "right wing."
