A Christmas elf’s candy cane stripes represent their achievements in battle. Red indicates an elf has drawn blood, while green is reserved for those with confirmed kills. More exotic colors designate elves who take a particular pleasure in dismemberment

So there is already an ai-generated whitewashing campaign to bury the name of the Muslim man, Ahmed al Ahmed, who disarmed one of the Bondi Beach shooters, and replace his identity with a white guy name and that’s why even a thimble of our potable water powering this tech is too fucking much.

But David French, the guys flipping out over Drag Queen Story Hour are the weak men creating hard times.
If they think something has gone terribly wrong, and that the thing is people reading books to kids at a voluntary family event, that's insanely weak. And an excuse to act on irrational hatred.

The actual distinguishing factor for Wanye here is that the Haitian lie allegedly helps conservatives and slandering Kirk hurts them.
This is an important tweet. Many conservatives *knowingly* live in a post-truth bubble whose membrane is moral relativism. Here, some lies are “fair game” to treat as true as long as they support their views

Never forget that when conservatives couldn't win in a democracy they didn't abandon conservatism; they abandoned democracy.
Bush v. Gore was an unambitious declaration of war by Republicans against democracy and the rule of law. Republicans made clear they didn't view those principles merely as malleable concepts they could cynically bend; no, they see those principles as fundamentally incompatible with conservatism.
As one of those Democratic attorneys who was camped out in West Palm Beach - taking depositions from inconsolable grandmas swearing they hadn’t voted for Buchanan, I still have trauma. 🥺

Trump’s willful attempts to get his base to threaten his enemies made me think of like rowdy sporting events.
Imagine a coach getting on the mic and encouraging fans to throw batteries on the field. That’s basically Trump.

“Post-liberalism” means two things:
1) I like the fascism, but I don’t think of myself as the sort of person who’d be into something so uncouth.
2) The woke made me do it, but since everyone’s opposed to liberty now, why don’t we acknowledge that some races, genders, and religions are lesser.

I can't believe the Atlantic went from employing Ta-Nehisi Coates to arguing that it would be acceptable to shout racial slurs at Ta-Nehisi Coates if he asked for additional caramel for his Cinnabon order.
“Those of us on the left should be fighting to improve protections for workers of all races, and thereby for the betterment of people’s material conditions regardless of their views,” Arash Azizi argues:
Why the Cinnabon Story Doesn’t Make Me Happy
The left should be promoting working-class solidarity, not delighting in seeing workers summarily dismissed.
