What’s your recipe?

a heavily armed paramilitary force with legal immunity is occupying a city and going door to door kidnapping non-white adults and children in furtherance of an explicitly white nationalist political project

The β€œprosecute the former regime at every level” candidate has my vote in 2028.

Why is he bowing to the lamp as if it were worthy of veneration?

Conservatives love AI because it's far easier to abuse a population that can't read, can't write, can't think, and can't tell what's real

without birthright citizenship in the united states, you don't have a democracy and you don't have rule of law.

revoking birthright citizenship gives fascists free rein to purge the country of literally anyone they don't like. it opens the door to atrocities and mass murder. i am not exaggerating.

Can’t believe the whole country has to suffer through the return of Dickensian childhood diseases because the worst, most ignorant attention-demanders decided other people’s expertise makes them feel bad

Opinion | Jamal Khashoggi: What the Arab world needs most is free expression The Arab world needs a modern version of the old transnational media so citizens can be informed about global events.

I will never forget having to edit Jamal’s final, posthumous piece for the Washington Post, after he was murdered.

He was calling for free expression in the Arab world. You can read it here :

A reminder that this anti-trans panic is 100% bullshit and exactly none of our country’s problems are related to someone expressing their gender identity and everyone who isn’t a hate-filled weirdo knows it.

Maybe live-commenting or just revealing spoilers?

If you keep lowering your standards to β€œwin” against the other side, eventually you’ll just be on the other side

I think a lot of sites on the web are having issues because AWS is having issues (eg Goodreads)

It’s still not too late to start wearing a mask.

Covid is surging.

Hundreds of kids are in quarantine for measles.

Public health has been gutted and healthcare is on the chopping block.

A well fitted respirator protects you and those around you.

You’ll get sick less & make public spaces safer!

Chicago Tribune: Greeley, who was born at Illinois Masonic hospital and is adopted, carries a copy of her passport just in case she runs into federal agents.

β€œI am Latina and I am a service worker,” Greeley said. β€œI fit the description of what they’re looking for now.”

During the encounter, Greeley said they told her she β€œdoesn’t look like” a Greeley.

β€œThey said this isn’t real, they kept telling me I’m lying, I’m a liar,” Greeley recalled. β€œI told them to look in the rest of my wallet, I have my credit cards, my insurance.”

Giuseppe Garibaldi, one of the key figures in the creation of Modern Italy (almost every Italian city has a street named after him). He even briefly lived in the US as a refugee, and Lincoln attempted to recruit him to fight for the Union early in the Civil War

Quick follow-up: how much and what sort of back-and-forth happens between an adaptor and a writer?

Thanks! Much appreciated! I am a longtime comics reader but always up for learning about the process/behind the scenes!

Okay, I am curious.
What does a script adaptor do?

We don't, there will be a new (and hopefully better) normal after this, that said, for the rest of our lives we'll have to be aware a non-trivial number of neighbors and fellows voted for actual fascism, and that's always going to be a bummer

You’re much closer to becoming disabled or homeless than you are to becoming rich and wealthy.

It’s not a moral failing. It’s not something you can β€œtry harder” your way out of.

We need robust social supports & safety nets to ensure everyone is properly cared for.

One stark marker of how much our society has devolved in just a few years is Bob Iger personally got on a call to convince us to let Disney/HULU make the 1619 Project. That America no longer exists.

Basically the end of the Papal States/their being reduced just to Vatican City more or less
