Gotta wonder which priest wore it.
I briefly worked in the archives at the Catholic University of America, and during some renovation work the staff found the dress worn by Judy Garland in the Wizard of Oz. There was a story that it was gifted to the longtime theatre director, but the dress had disappeared 1/2

I am still shocked by the degree that casual racism has been completely normalized in the US. I shouldn't be after the last 10 years, yet I am.
Fine: "I'm talking to my colleagues about whether we want these fake Somali refugees - who come to our country, add no value, suck our resources, defraud our govt - whether we actually want them here. I don't think Ilhan Omar shouldn't be a member of Congress - I think she shouldn't be an American"

Bringing back Limewire to illegally rip copies of reporting suppressed by the government is definitely some cyberpunk shit

Beware. AI has the capacity to destroy all the knowledge we have fought for so hard.
When viewing the fake article in Google scholar on my university network, there is a link to access the article via my uni's library. That link sends me to a library page that makes fake article appear real... Turns out library page is made programmatically from info on Google scholar 🤦
