thinking of that James Baldwin quote about "blame" vs "responsibility" & how many white people utterly fail to get that distinction bc they're so defensively attached to whiteness (for better & for worse) as a personal identity

None of them have ever done any such thing. I think what they object to is that other white people have started talking publicly about how whiteness as a concept creates inequality, and they feel the social pressure that truth creates, which they experience exclusively in terms of blame management.

Next time someone says they don’t have to apologize for being white anymore, ask them to tell about the most recent time they were forced to apologize for being white and who made them do it.

No one has ever been able to adequately explain what Putin is meant to have thought NATO expansion would threaten him with, apart from limiting his expansionist ambitions.
"He was worried they'd invade Russia."
No he wasn't.
He just wasn't.
That's not a thing anyone thought might happen.

this is the simple answer to people who keep saying NATO expansion matters. Sure, it matters because it presented an obstacle to Russian imperial ambitions. Putin didn't invade because he hated NATO expansion, he hated NATO expansion because he wanted to invade

I don't believe Donald Trump was involved in Epstein's sex trafficking ring... I believe Epstein was involved in Donald Trumps sex trafficking ring. Trump plays second fiddle to no one. Epstein didn't buy the Miss Teen USA pageant, Trump did. Do you actually think it was for the investment?

If you believe the people running Trump’s fbi by what they said just a couple short years ago, it is likely that the Epstein larry letter is fake but only partially fake, mainly the the part about him killing himself
We reached out to numerous trump advisers, senior administration officials, others close to trump and in the Republican elite to grade the trump doj’s handling of the Epstein saga from July to today. All but one said F or F minus
Because that one said “F-minus-minus.”
Because that one said “F-minus-minus.”

This is what makes ATProto pure magic. We don’t need a standard, we can just follow some lead lexicon. Create data and even if the lead won‘t get picked up in the end, the data is still there to be picked up by someone else for a new lead.
it's kinda awesome to me that @teal.fm still doesn't really exist, yet we're all out here building stuff for it, purely thanks to a standardized lexicon. building stuff for @atproto.com is pretty cool.
