SCOOP: Last year, Ubisoft cancelled an Assassin's Creed game set during Reconstruction. Was to feature a Black Assassin who, among other things, fought the rise of the Klan

Sources: Leadership nixed it over concerns re: U.S. political climate, backlash to Yasuke

This video never names it, but it nails the “woozle effect”: when something seems true bc sources cite each other instead of an original. The term’s from Winnie the Pooh, where Pooh and Piglet follow their own tracks in circles looking for "woozles." Perfect metaphor for AI ouroboros poisoning info.

I was looking through my media tab.. and I don’t think I’ve ever given this design that I use as my pfp a proper post. Here they are 🌲🐻 #indigenousart #formline

A formline design of a monster head. The creature has protruding fangs and long, sharp incisors that stick out. They also have sharp horns sticking out from their forehead and pointy, ungulate-esque ears. They are coloured a deep teal and highlighted with light forest green and yellow.

Bray is a historian at Rutgers who received death threats after landing on Turning Points USA's Professor Watchlist. As a result, he announced he was moving to Europe. And then this happened.

This kind of harassment and abuse of scholars is Charlie Kirk's legacy and it's only getting worse.

“Someone” cancelled my family’s flight out of the country at the last second.

We got our boarding passes. We checked our bags. Went through security. Then at our gate our reservation ‘disappeared.’

GOOD BOY IS SO GOOD holy shit I’m glad we saw it in the theater because

1) we support an awesome indie film
2) there’s an adorable behind the scenes in the theatrical release and
3) it would drive MY Indy bonkers with his name constantly being said, I don’t even know if we can watch it at home

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT: the new horror film “Good Boy,” starring a rescue dog named Indy but not MY rescue dog named Indy, is currently in theaters. We are going Wednesday but I’m endorsing it now, unseen. Indy tax included

Indy the dog lays on the ground with a happy face and an autumnal scarf. he is chill but ready for adventure and fun.
