After Adams inevitably goes to prison, maybe they can rename it after him.

You do need to do more, because people need to see more of this awesomeness!

Oy vey do I not get that comparison! 😂 I meant more that these people are a bunch of frauds who build the illusion of prestige on the extraction of the suffering of people who they make out to be freaks.

The people who have positioned themselves as ‘the cis journalists who explain trans people to the normals’ do the exact same thing.

I don’t remember a lot of what they taught us in Hebrew School, but I’m pretty sure this is… not great!

During a military-style raid on a building in Chicago’s South Shore, one resident heard a knock on his door.   It wasn’t the feds — it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help.

He let them hide in his unit for the next 3 days.

The related problem is that the a lot of people in the news media also think this.

Not everyone enjoys writing and that’s fine, but if you are a creative writer or you write-for-writing’s-sake professionally, you probably like it- that’s why you chose to do it! As such, writing and thinking and problem solving are linked for you. So outsourcing that isn’t good or helpful!

You cannot overstate how crazy (in the bad way) these people are, and how high on their own supply.

I couldn't believe this but it's true, Thiel can't decide whether the antichrist is Greta or Big Yud. Positively reeling.

(Washington Post) -- Tech billionaire Peter Thiel recently warned that Swedish activist Greta Thunberg and critics of technology or artificial intelligence are "legionnaires of the Antichrist" in private lectures on Christianity that connected government oversight of Silicon Valley to an apocalyptic future, according to recordings reviewed by The Washington Post.
In the four, roughly two-hour lectures, which began last month and culminated Monday at the Commonwealth Club in San Francisco, Thiel laid out his religious views to a sold-out audience told to keep the contents "off-the-record," according to an event listing. He argued that those who propose limits on technology development not only hinder business but threaten to usher in the destruction of the United States and an era of global totalitarian rule, according to the recordings.
"In the 17th, 18th century, the Antichrist would have been a Dr. Strangelove, a scientist who did all this sort of evil crazy science," Thiel said in his Sept. 15 opening talk, according to the recordings. "In the 21st century, the Antichrist is a Luddite who wants to stop all science. It's someone like Greta or Eliezer," he said, referring to Thunberg and Eliezer Yudkowsky, a prominent critic of the tech industry's approach to AI.

Definitely. A lot of it has to do with the institutional failures, I think. If the news media and justice system capitulate to the point that they're unreliable, conspiracy theories are going to fill the gap.

With no hood, it's really a vest and you look like Han Solo. With a hood, you can look like Obi-Wan. These are the two types of trans gals.

It's the same with the entertainment/Super Bowl stuff. 'Why is Bad Bunny playing the Super Bowl?' Because Bad Bunny is very popular and people like his music! Nobody's listened to Kid Rock in 15 years.

I hate that anyone (not Jamelle specifically) takes this seriously. 'Why didn't the demagogue who is bombing boats at random and putting immigrants in detention camps win the Nobel Peace Prize?' Wow, that's a real headscratcher...

jamelle @jamellebouie.net · 1d

this really is all just about resentment over obama being given the prize

BARTIROMO: On your point about the Nobel Peace Prize, do you think maybe the reason Trump won't get it is because you had to get the application in before Jan. 31, and that was only 11 days into his term?

SCALISE: Look, they can play technicalities. They gave it to Obama for just getting elected.

Our culture has a gross fixation on impurity in a health and moral way and loves to blame people for being Wrong, and their Wrongness is an excuse for refusing to help them.
