I prefer “anti-fascist“ for a host of reasons and this is a nice practical one.

Ify Nwadiwe @ifycomedy.com · 17h

I think we really should stop using antifa and just fully say anti-fascist and get them saying they are against anti fascism. Using antifa is giving them some distance and I genuinely think some of their base don’t even know that’s what it stands for.

Jordan Peterson, explained

ca.news.yahoo.com/jordan-peter...

She explained how her 62-year-old dad had been dealing with a “host of neurological issues this summer that we believe stem from CIRS, which is chronic inflammatory response syndrome, due to decades of mould exposure.”

Fuller added that he had been suffering from symptoms of neuropathy and weakness for the last few years and his condition worsened after Peterson cleaned out his late father’s basement earlier this year.

“We don’t have a better explanation for his neurological symptoms at the moment other than spiritual attacks,” she said.

It's really funny that The Art of War is treated as this like alpha male book when it's clearly meant to be read by ancient Chinese failsons because it's all "please don't forget you have to feed your troops" and "if someone asks if you're going to attack them consider lying about it"

RedArmyFraction @nopassaran.bsky.social · 1d

This is correct. My take is you don’t have to be white to be a white supremacist.

You just have to accept white supremacy or the supremacy of white Christian men.

If you do you’ll get a place in the racial hierarchy w the promise of dominating those below you.

But you can never be on top.

I think for Vivek the combination of skin color/ethnicity/religion *and* the fact that he wants to be in an executive leadership position rather than a content creator or even a legislator is a bridge too far for a lot of these bigots.

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

Major IQ differences in identical twins linked to schooling, challenging decades of research

A new study in Acta Psychologica reveals that schooling largely explains IQ differences in identical twins raised apart. When their educations are very dissimilar, their IQ scores can be as different as those between complete strangers.
