This. It's like being in a racist upside down for YEARS.

I would tell nonblack people to stop saying woke but they won't listen, they'll say no you can't tell us what to do! So whatever. Through appropriation you turned a commonplace way Black people describe our commonplace systemic oppression into a tool of hatred. Hope you're happy.

Only 4.9 million viewers bothered to tune in.

Meanwhile on NBC,50 million watched an epic playoff battle between the Rams and Bears.

The sadness we all feel with your performance... Are you also thinking you should've been benched at the half? #Texans

Did you or someone you know dance on Soul Train in the 1970s?

I’d like to talk with you or them about that experience for my research

Thanks!

It should matter that they can’t do this, it’s illegal, the vote is meaningless, it takes an act of Congress, etc, but people are so numb to this — and journalists hardly ever bother to point out flagrant illegality anymore — that it may not actually matter.

But it should.

Today I learned there’s an AI product designed to middle-US-ify accented English (or “remove accents”) that’s marketed to call centers. It makes me want to cry. 💩

Kyle Kingsbury is not a journalist. He is not an op-ed writer.

He is a computer safety researcher.

And he has written one of the most compelling, comprehensive accounts of the ongoing hell in Chicago that you could possibly imagine.

In under 1600 words.

I Want You to Understand Chicago Politics Chicago 2025-11-08 I want you to understand what it is like to live in Chicago during this time. Every day my phone buzzes. It is a neighborhood group: four people were kidnapped at the corner drugstore. A friend a mile away sends a Slack message: she was at the scene when masked men assaulted and abducted two people on the street. A plumber working on my pipes is distraught, and I find out that two of his employees were kidnapped that morning. A week later it happens again. An email arrives. Agents with guns have chased a teacher into the school where she works. They did not have a warrant. They dragged her away, ignoring her and her colleagues’ pleas to show proof of her documentation. That evening I stand a few feet from the parents of Rayito de Sol and listen to them describe, with anguish, how good Ms. Diana was to their children. What it is like to have strangers with guns traumatize your kids. For a teacher to hide a three-year-old child for fear they might be killed. How their relatives will no longer leave the house. I hear the pain and fury in their voices, and I wonder who will be next. Understand what it is to pray in Chicago. On September 19th, Reverend David Black, lead pastor at First Presbyterian Church of Chicago, was praying outside the ICE detention center in Broadview when a DHS agent shot him in the head with pepper balls. Pepper balls are never supposed to be fired at the head because they can seriously injure, or even kill. “We could hear them laughing as they were shooting us from the roof,” Black recalled. He is not the only member of the clergy ICE has assaulted. Methodist pastor Hannah Kardon was violently arrested on October 17th, and Baptist pastor Michael Woolf was shot with pepper balls on November 1st. Understand what it is to sleep in Chicago. On the night of September 30th, federal agents rappelled from a Black Hawk helicopter to execute a raid on an apartment building on the South Sho…
