Chris Rock had a bit about this in (shuffles papers) 1996.

"It ain't all Black people on welfare. Shit. White people on welfare, too […] the whole rest of the country, the other forty states, is filled up with broke-ass white people."

Ida Bae Wells @nhannahjones.bsky.social · 1h

Let’s be clear, most EBT users are white. The reason he’s specifically lying about “weaves” and we’ve seen so many AI fakes of Black women ranting about food stamps is they need to make BW the face EBT because they know many Americans don’t care if Black people suffer, and some actually wish for it.

ROB SCHMITT: People are using SNAP benefits to get their nails done, to get their weaves and their hair. This is a really ugly program.

SEN. RON JOHNSON: That program needs to be dramatically reformed.

Incredible “you are there” coverage

The New York Times @nytimes.com · 1d

Amid the kids dressed in costumes at the White House Halloween celebration on Thursday, Donald and Melania Trump stood out. Not because they were outfitted as anything particularly ghoulish or fantastical, but because they weren’t. nyti.ms/3LikowC

Donald Trump, wearing a blue suit, red tie and red hat, and Melania Trump, wearing a wool trench coat, greet costumed children. Carved pumpkins are seen in the background.

i would love to play center field when a no-doubt 430-foot home run is hit and run into the outfield wall at a dead sprint. as the camera cinematically pans up to follow the ball you briefly see me in the corner of the screen absolutely eating shit

too late; for i have already pictured myself as the hyperphantasic adult who can conjure visual fantasy worlds and you as the typical imager with pruned neuronal connections

Reeder had tested children’s imagery and believed that most children were hyperphantasic. They had not yet undergone the synaptic pruning that took place in adolescence, so there were incalculably more neuronal connections linking different parts of their brain, giving rise to fertile imagery. Then, as they grew older, the weaker connections were pruned away. Because the synapses that were pruned tended to be the ones that were used less, Reeder thought it was possible that the children who grew up to be hyperphantasic adults were those who kept on wanting to conjure up visual fantasy worlds, even as they grew older. Conversely, perhaps children who grew up to become typical imagers daydreamed less and less, becoming more interested in the real people and things around them. Maybe some children who loved to daydream were scolded, in school or at home, to pay attention, and maybe these children disciplined themselves to focus on the here and now and lost the ability to travel to the imaginary worlds they’d known when they were young.

The real problem with Mordor's geography is that the word MORDOR is written across it in giant letters. Not credible, Professor.

94. BOOKS DO FURNISH A ROOM by Anthony Powell

The narrator gets a job as literary editor for a post-war left-wing mag; hijinks ensue. The central story of broke novelist X Trapnel’s affair with Widmerpool’s demonic wife is one of the sequence’s best

the concept of not being born into a family situation where you are seen as an it not as a person, the part where he sifts through burnt handwritten documents to find out where he came from. the part where you feel like you’re haunting the earth bc your story will never be told!
