I am shocked that young republicans would ecxhange texts that include racist slurs, antisemitic tropes, Hitler praise, and jokes about violence, gas chambers, slavery, & rape. Can't begin to imagine where they got that from, or why they thought that was okay. Clutch my pearls, why don't you?

Also reminded of when people on here said Israel didn't point blank execute an ambulance crew and then video evidence was obtained by the NYT of them doing exactly that and nobody on here who expressed doubt commented on it. Curious stuff.

If you want to see the TikToks of a student documenting the horrifying fact that her professor used AI to "write" the textbook she subsequently published and forces her students to use/buy; but also some truly unprofessional behavior from the prof on being caught:

Shockingly, the extremely wealthy don’t like it when people ask basic questions like: how the f- did you make all of that money and why aren’t you expected to give back to the society that makes you wealthy?

Zack Polanski @zackpolanski.bsky.social · 1d

The Spectator (owned by GBNews owner Paul Marshall - estimated wealth of £800 million) doesn’t like taxing wealth fairly.

I wonder how they got to this editorial decision?

Let’s tax wealth fairly, fund front line services & make hope normal again.

Polanski is talking nonsense about wealth taxes.

If you want to break up a drug cartel, blowing up a boat does little to accomplish that, unless you believe cartels only own one boat.

I made this video 4 days ago.

As of today, Elfashir has completely run out of food, and the earthen barriers RSF have been building around the city are now complete.

Oh, and RSF drones struck a town in Khartoum State and another in Northern State.

In case anyone gaf.
