When I first read that headline, the first phrase that popped into my head was "false dichotomy"

Now, can I imagine a PG-13 movie about doom scrolling? For sure - but the level of interaction between IG and watching a movie are about as opposite as one can get~

This entire subculture is such batshit crazy Tales of Two Cities. Those grim stories are absolutely, 100% true, while at the same time, there is a cohort of parents that loss their absolute shit on proposed changes to AP Calc AB and AP Calc BC in high school - like Board of Ed filibuster sessions

Aubrey makes this so easy. Ordered my* copy of Graphic Rage today from @splitlippress.com - can't wait to get my hands on it.

*It's actually a gift for a visiting graphic artist relative who lives in Colombia, but you can bet your ass I'll gently read it before gifting it to her.

I've seen like eleventeen NextDoor posts about this. Frankly, I think it's cool there's so many coyotes around. Most of the day, they mind their own business - I just wouldn't recommend letting cats or small dogs outside off leash at night. I don't think that's a super big ask~

I would rather be a tourist in Chicago right now, outed by the locals as an organizing leader of Antifa

The deportation order is based on Vedam’s conviction for murder—a crime he did not actually commit and for which he’s now been wholly exonerated. He entered the US at 9 months old and was a legal permanent resident before his conviction. We are so, so, so far from the light of justice.

After spending 43 years in prison for a crime he didn't commit, evidence hidden by the prosecution reversed his conviction. Rather than finally enjoying freedom, ICE abducted him for deportation

Depraved.

Well on the bright side - most of us are familiar with this storyline from a book we read during our middle school years.

During a military-style raid on a building in Chicago’s South Shore, one resident heard a knock on his door.   It wasn’t the feds — it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help.

He let them hide in his unit for the next 3 days.

During the Sept. 30 raid one tenant protected a terrified girl and her mom. Remnants at the complex, including a detailed map of all the units, offer clues to what authorities may have known before th...

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

This is the correct take. Midnights had a handful of memorable, solid songs. The whole album, no. But if you ask any pop music fan to name even one or two singles off of TTPD, likely come up blank.

It's so incredible how low homicide rates are in Europe. The UK, with a population of 70 million people, had fewer than 600 murders in 2023.
