- Reposted by Ken NortonWOW. The Trump admin said they will review social media and deny immigration benefits to people saying antisemitic claims. They're even trying to deport people with green cards on alleged claims of antisemitism. Anyway, here's a tweet from an Afrikaner they flew here on Monday.

- Reposted by Ken NortonI don't think it can be overstated how much things are what they are because elites had their brains exposed to criticism on the internet and responded with this (which applies to them, not you, of course. you are a pig person who should shut up ). www.nytimes.com/2022/03/18/o...
- Reposted by Ken NortonWhatever impostor syndrome you may have once had, dispose of it fucking immediately. If these people run the country, you deserve that promotion, you can run for city council, you can start that business. If this is the baseline, shit, you can do surgery drunk in an alley and you will do less harm.
- Reposted by Ken NortonCan't be overstated how fucked up it is that Black folk came up with a word to express people being aware of the oppression of other people and it's now targeted by far right governments globally as something evil that must be destroyed
- Reposted by Ken NortonIt’s weird to live in a time when basic principles like cruelty is wrong, cheating is empty & the idea that curiosity, generosity, originality, the satisfaction of earned accomplishments & loving intimacy are the center of a good life feel like countercultural concepts
- They’re definitely retreating
- Two observations: 1/ His "haha" at 0:30 is so bizarre, and maybe the only time I've ever heard him (try to) laugh? 2/ When he said "Maybe it was AI" does he mean maybe an AI posted the photo too?
- [chasing goose meme] Does Ann Telnaes still work for WaPo? Does she?
- The Pulitzer Prize for illustrated reporting and commentary goes to @anntelnaes.bsky.social, for various works that appeared in The Washington Post. This is her third Pulitzer recognition.

- TFW when you've even lost the Palantir alums
- NEW: A DOGE recruiter took to a Palantir alum Slack to say he's hiring for a "DOGE orthogonal" project that will use AI to "free up" tens of thousands of federal workers; he was met with emoji of clowns and a man licking a boot. This is by @carolinehaskins.bsky.social and @telliotter.bsky.social

- Blue states should legislate this and give retailers cover (it’s consistent with California’s existing fee disclosure law for example).
- If Amazon won't inform customers about the costs of Trump's tariffs, other companies should step in. Clearly label these costs as the result of TRUMP's tariffs. Slap Trump's name right on them. He's weak on this issue, not strong. New piece from me: newrepublic.com/article/1945...
- Answering a call from an unrecognized number when you’re the President of the United States? Dude is cooked.

- Which views exactly? Oh, you know the ones.
- Reposted by Ken Nortonsome dumb motherfuckers , even libs , act like the relative lack of conservative professors is a problem . but american conservatism is an anti intellectual movement! might as well ask why there’s a lack of vegan chefs in brazilian steakhouses
- Reposted by Ken NortonSo much "cancel culture" discourse is describing the ordinary discretion exercised by individuals and institutions with a flashlight under your chin.
- What seems to have happened here is that an anthology was updated and Junot Diaz's work — like dozens of other authors — was taken out. Were previous editions destroyed? No. Are Diaz's stories no longer available? No. How has he 'been disappeared' exactly? www.chronicle.com/article/juno...

- "That was when we were the wealthiest" where the "we" is Vanderbilts, Carnegies, Rockefellers and Du Ponts. He worships this era because rich families whose names we still remember built big beautiful buildings and it's as basic as that.

- Tech publications have been great since day one of this administration, led by Wired and The Verge. I wish the NYT and WSJ would follow their lead.
- Reposted by Ken NortonIt is not the job of a group being hounded out of public life by media and the state to “extend grace” to the people doing it. This is the essence of the disingenuous “both sides” framing that helped make fascism a mainstream political option, and the Times and others bear a fair share of the blame.

- Reposted by Ken NortonIf you think you can't make a political issue out of "people shouldn't be grabbed off the street and put in a foreign gulag forever," maybe consider getting out of politics/punditry. And these aren't technical slogans: they appear in the Declaration of Independence and in the Constitution (twice).

- Reposted by Ken NortonIt's notable that rfk describes autistic children as a destroyed "resource" when he complains about autism stopping people from working. Here you see how eugenic ideology functions as a bridge between capital and fascism.
