it's really uncanny how major news orgs can write about mergers like this without once mentioning these companies' long, long histories of monopolistic and anticompetitive behavior. It's somehow just not viewed as useful context!

Michael B Jordan 'disgusted by racial slur at BAFTAS as parents left in tears' Michael B Jordan was with Delroy Lindo on stage to present an award at the Baftas when John Davidson’s outburst shocked the audience.

I wasn't online much for a while and I didn't know about this until stumbling across it tonight. I have a lot of thoughts about it, but the primary one is feeling awful for Emily, who was a good friend way back in law school. She's good people, and sincerely fuck them for doing this to her.

I often think about the fact that if the FBI et al had not killed Fred Hampton, he would be 78 today. Younger than Jesse Jackson was. Must have felt strange to outlive many of your contemporaries by decades.

One of the things language like this does is conveys the way that leftism is seen as feminized in america. Leftists are called “hysterical,” told we “throw tantrums,” and “are shrill and unreasonable.”

This is the language of cultural misogyny, used to denigrate and silence women.

This is something the Nazis used to do to Jewish children in the camps. It happened to a man I knew when he was a child in Auschwitz. The camp guards thought it was funny as hell.
