Evidently there was an Auschwitz-themed float in a Halloween parade in Pennsylvania.
The float was for a Catholic school, and to their credit the church immediately disavowed it.

This misses some material analysis. Connection to land is essential for revolution. Irish people, Indians, Algerians—they fought not just for their "country" but for their land. In settler colonies like the US, our culture is to just move/take over somewhere else instead of fighting to fix our home

How Local Librarians Keep AI Slop Off the Shelves
AI is being used to create nonsensical, sometimes dangerously inaccurate books. Local librarians are tasked with keeping these volumes out of their collections.
