“The Outsider” King, S

2.5/5 My slow slog through King’s (pls note I only get these through Libby) work continues. God, he really fucking hates fat people. I think I’ll stay away from his post 2000-work going forward unless recc’d to me. He needs a better editor. Too fucking long (214)
“Cursed Daughters” Braithwaite, O

3/5 The fun & beauty of the prose doesn’t really make up for how unfocused, paint by numbers, and “OF COURSE” the narrative becomes. I wish it was more about the family around Monife’s loss & less about romance BS. (213)

I'm telling y'all, these dudes don't know anything.🤡

Frank Sinatra was a vocal anti-racist. He fought racism with his actions, his words, and his money.

Actions:
Refused to stay at segregated hotels. Made sure Black artists got paid fairly.

Words:
Literally wrote an article in Ebony Magazine

Even if you read with an eye towards trying to include a diversity of authors, you’re going to include white men if only because there are SO MANY.

I read 251 books this year; 48 were quickly verifiable as white men* (their picture being on goodreads).

RFK Jr is directly responsible for the deaths of 83 children in American Samoa from measles because he told them to stop vaccinating. Now, he's trying to kill trans kids. He's a fucking psychopath.
HHS is trying to force Seattle Children's into doing a Sophie's choice of abandoning trans youth or see kids with cancer or other serious illness have their coverage and care disrupted. That's what this is about.

Hopefully, the courts put a quick stop to this like the subpoenas.

I’ve been worried about this. People who signed up for a US ‘self-deportation’ scheme say their payoffs were delayed, misdirected or never arrived – leaving them empty-handed in their home countries.
‘They tricked me’: Migrants were promised $1,000 to voluntarily leave the US. Some never received it

Public services cannot ‘lose’ money they can only ‘use’ money.

Yes there are areas where they can ‘use’ money more efficiently, but their purpose is to ‘use’ money to provide us services. Money that we, the taxpayers have allocated as a necessary cost for the greater good.

It is called Socialism.

If you’re wondering why your friends in academia are a little on edge right now, it’s because an eighteen-year-old who hasn’t done the reading, doesn’t look at the assignment, and has does no critical thinking skills more complex than “because I think it’s in the Bible” can literally end your career

There's no real social benefit to commercial gambling and there's a massive difference between the sudden heavy investment in casinos across NYC and your weekly poker game with a 20 dollar buy in.
I am not a moral absolutist about gambling. I’ve been to Vegas and Atlantic City and several casinos in Connecticut and Maryland, and I used to play pick up poker with buddies in college. But the degree to which our society has expanded it in recent decades strikes me as a sickness, a rot.

A 13-year-old had AI intimate deepfakes created of her.

The school took no action, she got in a fight, & was sent to an alternative school.

The boy who created the deepfakes faced no school discipline.

This isn't an isolated story - it's the reality of unregulated AI.
