😮🫨 SHAMEFUL, yet very on brand for those who seemingly made their concepts of a TikTok deal official, or something.
When hate symbols are presented as trendy, discounted, and algorithmically surfaced, they stop being treated as warnings
That shift is dangerous, and entirely preventable.

“Hey, Siri, what is the Streisand effect?” 🙃 I happily canceled my Paramount+ subscription earlier in 2025 - about a month after it renewed (of course) - because of all of these messes. I’m old enough to remember when “legacy media” was something to be respected and revered… lol.
if bari weiss hadn't pulled that 60 Minutes piece it likely would've gotten very little attention, but now she's been revealed as the bowdlerizing incompetent she is. i love this journey for her.

The Supreme Court, Presidency, Senate and two party system are all quite anti-democratic institutions as presently constructed.
Our institutions are not only incapable of preventing tyranny—they’re currently enabling it.
When democracy returns, we need to reform our political system.
