Here's a regular white guy (literally "Chad") not a protester. because, "It seemed pointless, or just a way for people to expiate their sense of guilt." Chad witnessed something shattering. And, that all changed in a moment.

stop using AI to do your research. it hallucinates too often. if you want an answer to something, post something arrogant on the appropriate subreddit. something like: "this item performs 10% better than everything else. only idiots deny this." this will bait nerds into doing your research for you.

'Edge of Abruzzi: Boat with Three People on a Lake.' (1925) Winifred Knights' work is a reminder that pre-Raphaelite art, its love of detail, decorative colour, beautifully drawn line and conveyance of nature, had a long and distinguished influence in British painting up to WW2.

60 Minutes ran three segments about celebrities last night: Timothée Chalamet, Jamie Lee Curtis, and Kate Winslet. I guess there was no hard news last week.

Pam Bondi just sent a letter to Minnesota officials saying ICE will leave if the state turns over its voter database to Trump.
Guess what? This has never been about safety or immigration. It’s a pretext for Trump to take over elections in swing states.
