So there were some AI-generated videos that purported to show Black women ranting about SNAP benefits, and... Fox News is reporting on this like these are real people. They're not! They're AI!

This is truly insane. Total unreality. www.foxnews.com/media/snap-b...

Diversity doesn’t weaken unions. Racist bosses like Vance using racism to divide workers by race so they can exploit them weakens unions. All this stuff is arsonists complaining about the temperature in the building they set on fire. bsky.app/profile/diew...

JD Vance claims that diversity weakens unions, as people end up distrusting each other and not organizing.

Let me tell you two menswear stories related to this claim. 🧵

Commentary:

Traditional trick-or-treating is not just about candy — it is a community ritual disguised as a holiday.

For one evening a year, it forces us out of our isolated homes and onto the sidewalk, creating a casual, low-pressure setting for residents to meet.

And a slight addition for me: I, too, support small businesses. The unique shops located in Media's State Street District have many places I support because they have good service and great products. I enjoy having great places to walk to and buy gifts, enjoy a lunch date and Happy Hours.
