When we say that many Americans have a 6th grade reading level this is what that means. At a 6th grade level you can read most texts and absorb their surface level meaning, but it’s not until an 8th grade level where you grasp things like subtext, metaphor, and ulterior motives.

♨ naïve dumbass @atticusgf.bsky.social · 11d

A huge amount of critics cannot engage with writing more complex than YA Lit, do not even understand the meaning of subtext, and are unable to comprehend that there can be main characters that are intentionally unrelatable, unappealing, and morally bad.

Dominic Tarason @dominictarason.com · 11d

It's amazing how many critics just turned their ENTIRE brains off when faced with that game.

"The devs gave Keanu a big role so we're meant to be empathizing with this Johnny character"

No, the game is wildly unsubtle about Johnny being a narcissistic idiot who wants to fix capitalism with nukes.

In all likelihood what’s happening all over the country is ICE getting a list of names and running a data broker search then scooping up every random Frank Miranda or Maria Lopez who might fit the details close enough. And that’s why they’re supposed to get fucking warrants.

Masked ICE agents threatened an American citizen, put him into an unmarked van, held him for several hours, and dropped him back off at his workplace, without ever explaining why they abducted him

Our vaunted business titans are weenies

Several executives said they had discussed opposing some of Trump's policies, including tariffs. Before a meeting with Trump and the Business Roundtable this year, some executives discussed how to quietly confront the president and question his policies, people with knowledge of the discussions said. But when Trump showed up, no one asked tough questions.

The Trump administration has been spreading anti-vaccine propaganda for months. Tonight, Trump's physician announced he just received a flu shot and a COVID booster.

A disproportionate amount of Nazi origin stories is now "people on Twitter/SomethingAwful/etc didn't laugh at my jokes or be my buddies 😟🤬" instead of, originally, "I saw my friends get blown to smithereens trying to take a mile of dirt in Verdun".

Trump, 79, has "cardiac age" of 65-year-old, doctor says

Donald Trump was found to be in "exceptional health" in a medical evaluation, the U.S. president's doctor said in a memo released by the White House on Friday, with his "cardiac age" 14 years younger than in "chronological age."

"President Trump continued to describe Portland as a city on fire Friday even as residents enjoyed the first fall rain and the lone demonstrator at the city’s Immigration and Customs Enforcement building was dressed as a pink Care Bear."

Sometimes there is a good sentence or two in the NYT.

Jerry Boyle @jecboyle.bsky.social · 3h

He’s dumping the problem in Brandon Johnson’s lap. With ICE cut loose to attack the city, the focus moves to Chicago; they’ve been everywhere today, even my neighborhood.
If Johnson follows Pritzker’s bad example, and sics Chicago Police on folks resisting ICE, all bets are off.

As if this week were not bizarre enough: Mount Pleasant residents tell me a group of federal agents gathered for a photo-op near a pro-immigrant banner, pictured below, then tore it down.

In its place, they left a dildo. A neighbor's Ring camera captured the whole thing...

BTW, Democrats also have benefited more from "dark money" since 2018, according to the Brennan Center:

"Overall, dark money groups boosting Ds put up about $1.2 billion to influence 2024 elections, while groups boosting Rs accounted for about $664 million."

Money isn't the issue. It's competence.

Matthew Sheffield @matthew.flux.community · 10h

You may not realize this, but Democrats have *more money* available to them than Republicans do.

But Republicans are fucking masters at efficiency and network marketing. They maximize every dollar.

Democratic organizations keep hiring the same failed consultants. They need new blood.
