Ruby Bridges has a TikTok page. Yes, that Ruby Bridges, the first black kid to attend a previously all-white "separate but equal" school after the doctrine of "separate but equal" was struck down by the US Supreme Court.
If someone argues that racism is ancient history, don't argue. Just send them a link to Ruby Bridges' TikTok page. And, by the way, follow Ruby Bridges on TikTok.

Kurt Vonnegut wrote: “When I was 15, I spent a month working on an archeological dig. I was talking to one of the archeologists one day during our lunch break and he asked those kinds of “getting to know you” questions you ask young people: Do you play sports? What’s your favorite subject? And I told him, no I don’t play any sports. I do theater, I’m in choir, I play the violin and piano, I used to take art classes.
And he went WOW. That’s amazing! And I said, “Oh no, but I’m not any good at ANY of them.”
And he said something then that I will never forget and which absolutely blew my mind because no one had ever said anything like it to me before: “I don’t think being good at things is the point of doing them. I think you’ve got all these wonderful experiences with different skills, and that all teaches you things and makes you an interesting person, no matter how well you do them.”
And that honestly changed my life. Because I went from a failure, someone who hadn’t been talented enough at anything to excel, to someone who did things because I enjoyed them. I had been raised in such an achievement-oriented environment, so inundated with the myth of Talent, that I thought it was only worth doing things if you could “Win” at them.
Republicans play kill the messenger because the SPLC message is irrefutable.
Stephen Miller is not a lawyer, he has no schooling in government. He has never run for office. He's just a racist.

Two tetrahedrons, two hexahedrons (cubes), two octahedrons, one icosahedron, and one dodecahedron (my favorite shape!)

Israeli snipers using head shots to kill Palestinian children playing is why the US needs to end the gravy train.
Cut them off. No funding. No aid. No military support. Sanctions. Visas revoked, passports denied, access to SWIFT blocked. Trade ended. Expulsion from the UN, OECD, and OAS. Demilitarization like Germany post WW2. No fly zones established and monitored. Government and IDF officials stand trial in the ICC.
Now.

Sources are important.
Question for you: I'm worried that the upcoming crab rave will create waves of misinformation similar to the JFK assignation or Elvis's death, multiplied by the internet. What do you think we can do to prevent future misinformation from being created or spread?
The same things you should do to fight misinformation under any circumstances: 1) Check your facts before you share. 2) Share truth. Include appropriate sources. 3) Don't share lies. 4) Report and block liars. 5) If you run a platform, enforce rules against misinformation. If you want to see some examples of social media content creators that do a good job of fighting misinformation, see: - Dan McClellen (TikTok & YouTube) Best example I've ever seen! Specializes in Bible scholarship and cognitive linguistics (how brains handle language). Refutes lies that serve right-wing identity politics on a regular basis. - Timothy Snyder, author of such books as On Tyranny and On Freedom, provides excellent advice about how to resist tyrannical government and establish free societies. - @stuheevun on TikTok specializes on the Cold War & German history - Cahal Moran (Unlearning Economics on YouTube) debunks right-wing and naively optimistic economics - Joseph Hall-Patton (The Cynical Historian on YouTube) specializes in the history of violence in America - Matt Randolph (TikTok, YouTube) specializes on the oil and gas industry. - LegalDad (TikTok) specializes in US law and courts, and how they pertain to US federal news and policy. - For evidence-based knowledge about gun policy, I recommend books by Pamala Haag and Saul Cornell.
My favorite SCP playlist has a runtime of 4 days, 9 hours, 9 minutes, 7 seconds. I found that out using this tool that impressed me quite a bit. Enjoy!
one thing about americans is that they know how to make a fucking milkshake
i hate the stupid milk consistency shit you get here like if you give me a milkshake it better be rock fucking solid. i want that thang thick like concrete. it should piss me off trying to drink it through a straw. i should have to wait for it to thaw
Americans are so good at making Beverage. One of our Foundational Moments was actually a party involving Making Beverage. Google "Boston Tea Party" for more
There's an ice cream place near me called Handel's Old Fashioned Ice Cream. You can get milkshakes in two consistencies: regular or extra thick. And you can get them in two sizes, regular or monster.
I got monster, extra-thick, peanut butter brownie milkshake. 44 oz (1.3 liters), 2,500 calories (2,000 is a normal daily diet). There were two full brownies crumbled up and mixed into the ice cream. I drank it in about 15 minutes, and then wasn't hungry again for 24 hours.
(Not me pictured. This image is from Handel's Facebook account.)
If anyone had any question about whether I am an American, I think this story proves it. It was, by the way, the best milkshake I've ever had in my life.
I was out sick for a week, so I didn't tutor kids at math for a week. Now, at the end of that week, I am absolutely drowning in cynicism and the misery that comes from witnessing the deep corruption of most adults. Moral, spiritual, and interpersonal corruption, malice and neglect, manipulation and hostility.
Dealing with kids heals my soul. Dealing with adults makes me miserable. And that's because kids do good because they can, and adults do good only when they can't find any way to avoid it. I'm so goddamn sick of watching people be so corrupt.
❤ MAGA MELTS DOWN when Daniel Radcliffe REFUSES to try on Alysa Liu's gold medal... for the best reason.🫡
While he expressed immense admiration for Liu’s achievement, he declined the offer to wear the prize, stating:
Radcliffe started to try it on, but stopped himself. He paused, and said: "I can’t do it. It’s too much. Even holding it feels like I’m trespassing on a decade of hard work. Wearing it feels like stolen valor."
Radcliffe explained that because he knows how much grueling physical sacrifice goes into an Olympic career, putting the medal around his neck - even for a photo, felt disrespectful to the actual effort required to earn it.
Of course, MAGA took it as an insult to their Dear Leader, who is more than happy to steal valor of anyone -- an Olympian, a veteran, a Nobel Peace Prize winner.
GOOD. They should take it as an insult. I can't wait until Trump sees it...!
