I've mentioned this before, but one of the very few historical fiction series to really convey the bigotry of the past is Flashman, out of a strange mixture of diligent reading and the author's own racism. Most notable, it uses the n-word as much as the British actually did about India.
look I have no problem with characters facing hideous racism in Victorian England but it actually feels like they’re often just facing familiar modern racism, uncomfortable comments about their eye shape and the like

I like being an uncle for the holidays because: Mom and dad are responsible, and will discipline you. Grandpa and Grandma are indulgent, and will coddle you. But the uncle... the uncle is unpredictable. The niece and nephew cannot know what the uncle will do, because the soul of the uncle is CHAOS

Clinton’s spokesman says the DOJ’s selective release suggests someone is being protected.

This has been made available, so for purposes of commenting on Bari Weiss's decision to spike the story, here's a live-post of that segment.
It begins with a "you may recall" summary of the deportation to el Salvador. Describes the admin's claim that it could deport the men without due process

It's important to note for the consultant people: Kat is tied for first place, she's raised more money in this race than anyone else, and she hasn't used Twitter in months.
It's a website filled with racist AI snuff films and it's rigged against you specifically. There's no good reason to use it.

This has always been a Bluesky-first campaign. But as of today, we will no longer be using Twitter. At all.
And I'm calling on other candidates to follow suit.

a fun question to ask yourself, and answer with like 5 minutes of research, is:
conservatives demonize him so much, but what does the actually-existing George Soros actually believe?

Since they’ll keep pushing this false narrative, we’ll keep pushing back: the idea that one Jewish philanthropist is puppeteering a party or cause or the country is antisemitic and a threat to our pluralistic democracy.

Walmart sells something that claims to be a 'banana cleaner'. The description is a weird work of genius, including boasting '120 minutes on a single charge, which meets daily use' and explaining 'just wipe it with a towel'.

A Cliffs Notes for the Jake Paul situation since I'm seeing people confused.
Jake Paul and his brother were 'prank streamers'. Yes exactly. They got famous for doing that and got rich. Jakes fame got to his head and somewhere along the way he started believing he could fight pro boxers.
