I (professionally) read, I (occasionally) write, and I (mostly) experience existential dread over late capitalism.

Paul Celan said that the poem was no different from a handshake... The handshake is our decided ritual of both asserting (I am here) and handing over (here) a self to another. Hence the poem is that—Here. I am here.

MEET US AT THE PICKET LINE: Just after midnight. we began a ULP strike. Management’s refusal to be reasonable on our key demands brought us to this point. See you at the picket line. ✊

Why no mention of Israel, which is the single country most responsible for killing journalists?

Journalism 101:
If someone says it’s raining, and another person says it’s dry, it’s not your job to quote them both. Your job is to look out of the fucking window and find out which is true

It's interesting which constituencies get coddled for their votes and which get this unbelievably insulting scolding routine.

“Had international law been respected, the genocide would have been stopped by the security council after the first set of measures by the ICJ, before Rafah was invaded. But a small number of member states have enabled and nurtured Israel’s conduct, and their genocidal violence has only expanded. If left unpunished, it could encourage other states to carry out these acts.

Israel is not the only country to attack UN Rapporteurs. What’s striking in the case of Israel is there’s a cohort of states that echo and reverberate what Israel says and minions that produce fabrications with only one objective: to distract away from the genocide.”

The fact that a kid can’t see Tremors on USA on a random Saturday afternoon is a detriment to the culture

The lies about lack of support are maddening. FEMA is here. Nat'l guard is here. Tanker trucks full of water. Shower stations, laundry stations. Hot meals. I live in a low-rent neighborhood. Yes it still sucks. Yes, some places, especially rural ones, still have serious lacks.

Regine from Living Single is the only correct answer as she and Fran often wore the same clothes (styled differently)

I am also just sick at two Black journalists sitting there while that white guy tries to pretend Ta-Nehisi Coates is a terrorist. Like they don't also see the similarities he cited in Jim Crow and Israeli apartheid in particular. Just sat there and watched. Pathetic.

[Heidi N. Moore @moorehn]

Among the many reasons that this segment will likely live in infamy as a clear example of open Islamophobic racism and journalistic malpractice from @CBSNews:

The producers flanked two Black journalists to provide a cover to a white journalist who is making an open, racist case for apartheid, and who suggests that human rights do not exist for Palestinians. A combination of racism and ignorance that suggests a deeply failed moral center for that show and that news operation.
