"When you've lived with the unnatural mass cruelty that mankind is capable of inflicting upon itself, you find yourself dispossessed of the faculty for blaming one poor man for the triviality of his faults. I don't see how any survivor of war can ever be cruel to anything, ever again.”

This is a morally bereft, intellectually immature take. Reckless, to say the least.

I said something last week that is more broadly applicable today:

Calling for empathy is not neutral or apolitical when only one group of people have been socialized and brutalized into having empathy.

Here are some tweets from Charlie Kirk over just the last few days. They are an impressive mix of hatred towards: Blacks, immigrants, women, immigrants, Muslims, LGBTQ, academics.

Yeah it's at Meade. Now it's just DFAS and a great state park, golf course and live walk play community. Enjoy your travels!

Tyrese Haliburton is ready to attack his Achilles rehab like the stars before him — including Kobe Bryant.

"Give me some time, I’ll dust myself off and get right back to being the best version of Tyrese Haliburton."

NIH & FDA's Jay Bhattacharya, Marty Makary, & Vinay Prasad have all denied Long COVID, said those suffering are "lying fake disease grifters," & that LC researchers are scamming frauds. Now, Americans disabled by their favorite virus are being abandoned en masse. www.newsobserver.com/news/local/a...

Funding cuts force one of North Carolina’s only Long COVID clinics to shut its doors

The COVID Recovery Clinic, created in 2021, coordinated treatment efforts for patients whose COVID-19 symptoms persisted long after a diagnosis.

“There are good uses for AI at a newspaper, which is why it’s so puzzling that everyone keeps trying to make AI do not those tasks but the ones it is bad at, the ones that we humans most want to keep for ourselves,” @katzish.bsky.social writes:

Will The Washington Post Embrace the AI Slush Pile?

Reducing the role of human editorial judgment is the last thing opinion journalism needs.

Not tweeting an unequivocal denunciation of his suspension is why traditional media is held in such low regard by many of us.

Kushner? Really? And just like that you lose my respect. Future dollar support.

But affirm black men without facial hair cannot be trusted. Performative BS is what you are about. So sad you couldn't rise to the occasion. I was rooting for a profile in courage, character and judgment from you.

I don't know why you are in my feed because your news reporting is shameful. You lost my subscription for a reason. How do you sleep at night as an utter failure of the Fourth Estate?
