After years of contemplating how we can resolve and “fix” racism I keep going back to this quote from 1938
The answer seems to be that white folks need to help other white folks to change and evolve
Challenge it all you want but change is the only solution I can find
Also, now’s the time to start

A quote:
“Let the white [people] make a supreme effort in their resolve to contribute their share to the solution of this problem, to abandon once for all their usually inherent and at times subconscious sense of superiority, to correct their tendency towards revealing a patronizing attitude towards the members of the other race, to persuade them through their intimate, spontaneous and informal association with them of the genuineness of their friendship and the sincerity of their intentions, and to master their impatience of any lack of responsiveness on the part of a people who have received, for so long a period, such grievous and slow-healing wounds.”

~Shoghi Effandi, 1938

Didn’t a Marvel editor talk about using AI for idea generation in Labor Day? And wasn’t that an exceptional irony

If this were true then autism would be seen in higher rates throughout Jewish and Muslim people and guess what its not

Unless this is just an antisemitic and Islamophobic dogwhistle...

Besides linking Tylenol in pregnant women to autism, RFK Jr. now says circumcision is part of the reason why kids are autistic.

"Children who are circumcised early have double the rate of autism, and it's highly likely because they're given Tylenol. None of this is positive..."

An actual hot take: Too many authors are afraid of editors watering down their voice or whatever and not afraid enough of editors letting you put any old slop on the page.

Incredible.

Jack Posobiec references the earliest version of antifa -- the anti-fascists in the Weimar Republic who were opposed to the Nazi Party -- as the bad guys.

They’re just gonna do a little lite slavery.

In addition, the new rule allows farm employers to charge H-2A workers for their housing, which was not allowed before. "It's a way for employers to continue to house workers and also charge them, and bring down effective wages," said Marcos Lopez of the Labor and Community Center at the University of California, Davis.
