But sure, let’s have these people work at data centers. 2650 data centers. Or I guess at like 60 coal mines.

Underrated big shift in the influencer era in terms of who has cultural capital: away from performers, writers, artists, musicians etc and to people who are really good at running a small business and doing SEO/social media.

Pretty polar opposite political valences in those skillsets.

Did they explain to you how Gender Studies is a global conspiracy perpetrated by rootless cosmopolitan elites on otherwise healthy populations that specifically preys on children for creepy rituals? But, you know, in a totally not-antisemitic way?

German public media are running fact checks on just how starving individual children are, while serious journalists propose that maybe the children are predisposed to hunger due to inbreeding (also they have low IQ, apparently). Germany unhinged is a truly terrifying spectacle.

I think it's important to note the audience for this isn't really cisgender LGB people (who polling tells us overwhelmingly favor trans rights) but is meant to serve as a permission structure for a broader audience to abandon trans rights while still claiming they're "liberal"

Faculty Support of George Mason’s President Draws Federal Investigation

Faculty who wrote to defend their president and object to a DOJ investigation of their university...are now being investigated by the DOJ.
The most banal defense of free speech and academic freedom will trigger the full wrath of the US government now.

Nvm seems I was wrong! According to Wikipedia β€œIf a prisoner was also identified as Jewish, the triangle was superimposed over a second yellow triangle pointing the opposite way, to resemble the Star of David like the yellow badge identifying other Jews. β€œ
