I'm really excited to see Kamala Harris carry on Bidens' campaign promise of being absolutely incoherent.
Researchers came down with a bad case of ligma it would seem.
“managing the study’s data collection caused significant personal distress, and time had to be taken off the project to heal from traumatic harm”
How fucking weak do you have to be?
How Do Court Reporters Keep Straight Faces?

I enjoy this visual storytelling, while also feeling bad for the employees behind the story
Why is Craigslist charging $5 to post? That is ridiculous.

The Most Ridiculous Children's Book Ever Written
In today's video, we take a look at the children's book 'Antiracist Baby' by Ibram X. Kendi! Be sure to give the video a thumbs up if you enjoyed and subscribe to the channel for new videos every day.
“If you read this to a child, the child is 7 times stupider and 23,000 times a worse person than if they never read this book.”
George Orwell (1903-1950) English novelist. (via philosophicalconservatism)
See what I mean. It’s all propaganda. I’m sure they had this article planned for years, only waiting for a good time to spring it on the public.
You may have seen the phrase “decolonize your bookshelf” floating around. In essence, it is about actively resisting and casting aside the colonialist ideas of narrative, storytelling, and literature that have pervaded the American psyche for so long.
If you are white, take a moment to examine your bookshelf. What do you see? What books and authors have you allowed to influence your worldview, and how you process the issues of racism and prejudice toward the disenfranchised? Have you considered that, if you identify as white and read only the work of white authors, you are in some ways listening to an extension of your own voice on repeat? While the details and depth of experience may differ, white voices have dominated what has been considered canon for eons. That means non-white readers have had to process stories and historical events through a white author’s lens. The problem goes deeper than that, anyway, considering that even now 76% of publishing professionals — the people you might call the gatekeepers — are white.
Reading broadly and with intention is how we counter dehumanization and demand visibility, effectively bridging the gap between what we read and how we might live in a more just and equitable society.
This is where it all begins. They’re not going to start burning books this afternoon, but you get people to stop reading certain authors because of “colonialism” and start brainwashing people into accepting the narrative wholesale, people will be a lot more willing to burn books in the future.
Though at the rate we’re going we’ll probably have a book burning on July 4th, just for maximum wokeness.
The disconnect from reality is unbelievable. Most white bibliophiles do not read only white authors, and certainly do not intentionally seek out white authors. “An extension of your own voice on repeat?” EXCUSE me? What are these people talking about? On what planet does that make any sense whatsoever? Am I listening to my own voice on repeat when I read a book by an openly gay man from San Francisco, which I am not? When I read a book by a 40-something mom from Sydney which I am not? When I read a book by a Czech guy who grew up under Communist rule? No, I do not read exclusively white authors, and yes, I could give you some examples of nonwhite authors if you guessed, but there’s more to diversity than being nonwhite. Among the white authors I’ve read are people in different age groups, men and women, people with mental disorders and disabilities I don’t have, people who live in vastly different regions of my own country and different regions of the globe, people who have worked jobs completely different from anything I’ve ever done, people with different worldviews, and people from completely different socioeconomic backgrounds. Listening to my own voice on repeat? What utter MORONS.
This is Peak Obnoxious and Peak Condescending. Enough with telling everyone else what they have to read and watch and listen to and wear and post in order to prove they’re against racism. Oh, wait, it’ll never be enough when what you really care about is controlling people.
Critical thinking is just...not some people's forte, I guess.
Idiots.
Does anyone actually believe Sanders and Warren have beef? I hope none of you are that stupid.... If that isn’t the phoniest ploy for attention I don’t know what is.
