A story I found about Haiti:
In 1999, a group of Haitians were tired of political disorder and dreamed of a better life in the United States. So they built a small, 23-foot boat by hand using pine trees, scrap wood, and used nails. They called the boat "Believe in God."

Not to go down this week's particular rabbit hole very deeply, but as a guy who was *in fact hiring Hollywood writers* between 2011 and 2018, four staffs in total, it seems a lot of smart commenters are missing I did not diversify my rooms to be woke, I diversified my rooms to have better rooms.

Update:
I messaged the owner of the feed directly and they told me they were taking it down because some people were taking it in an antisemitic way. It's pretty clear that this was never the intention.

A bunch of people are dunking on this, including some implying that it may be antisemitic.
FWIW the feed from this account DOES post spreads from WH parties and Mar A Lago with similar comments from time to time.
Those dunking on the fact that this isn't "lavish" I'm with though.

It's so funny when people idolize Roman aristocrats like Cicero, Caesar, and Sulla, because reading the primary sources about them makes it clear they were catty bitches who insulted each other by gossiping about the shame of a rival's grandpa owning a rope-making business and a bakery

Every survey of where people spend their time, including teens, supports this:
i have said this before but if you are actually interested in influencing people beyond a narrow circle of too-online journalists you will be making direct to camera videos on tiktok, instagram and youtube. if you primarily post on text-based social media then you're just dicking around.

There's a very long article about the arrests and accusations. This poster, who has both comments AND quote posts turned off (always a good sign) turns flyers saying "Free Palestine" into the motive for the bombings - no one from the government is claiming this to be so.

gonna say something that probably only a handful of you will interact with but the root of a lot of anti asian racism--apart from the piece where some people just want us dead--is that at the core a lot of non-asian people who encounter the term don't actually believe anti asian racism exists.

This is EXACTLY the kind of situation that Stephenson predicted in "Anathem", though in that book the Internet is flooded with seemingly good but actually terrible info for slightly different reasons.
Grading and googling hallucinated citations, as one does nowadays, and now that LLMs have been around for a while, I've discovered new horrors: hallucinated journals are now appearing in Google Scholar with dozens of citations bc so many people are citing these fake things

Kudos to Jacksonville for using a graphic that gets all the symbols correct (with a gratuitous party popper, because why not?)
Someone knew what they were doing or at the very least, asked a Jew.

I understand being disgusted by the shit the Israeli regime is doing. But if you make Jews feel unsafe in diaspora you're doing Bibi's work for him. "Jews are unsafe in diaspora" is exactly what motivates Zionism as an ideology.

Why doesn't anyone talk about getting rid of "qualified immunity" anymore.
You can pass all the reforms you want, and do all the training as well, but unless/until police can be held responsible for rights violations I don't think it can achieve the desired goals.

Something that is a difference between how my wife and I consume TV/movies is how I am always super aware of narrative structures and conventions. She knows all of them as well as I do, but they aren't front of mind for her the way they are for me.
