I dunno what you want me to say:

A fascist got himself elected president of the United States, did a bunch of fascist shit, and then tried a type of coup known as an autogolpe - a coup to keep a strongman in power anti-democratically. Instead of putting that guy's ass in jail, we're putting him all over our TV under the logic that "he's running for office, so stopping him is anti-democratic."

In many ways, Weimar Germany would laugh at how weak WE are; so the comparison is more than apt.

I went on a quest to find out if AI is already secretly writing a lot of the stuff we read online. I found more than I ever imagined.

From online recipes to mattress reviews to celebrity horoscopes, human writing is fast becoming the exception on the internet, rather than the rule.

One day after quoting MLK on MLK Day, Florida MAGA Gov Ron DeSantis cancels AP African American Studies Program, saying it ‘Lacks Educational Value’

This is literally white supremacist talking points & a reminder how much these people still hate MLK today.

Indeed, DeSantis banning AP African American Studies is a reminder of that old quote -- White privilege is when your history is the curriculum and every other history is an elective.
