Anyone know if the React displayName component property is actually deprecated. I can't find a deprecation notice, but I also see that it's no longer referenced in the docs anywhere.

What is the official status here?

You can fairly say Macklemore overdoes the white guilt, but he’s one of the few folks actually making raw political music in hip-hop today.
WATCH AND CIRCULATE:

Macklemore’s a real one for this video doing what the Democrats and their surrogates refuse to do

I can’t believe the Supreme Court said the president was above the law and now the president is acting like he’s above the law.

New in PN: North Carolina Republicans restart the steal

"The entire state supreme court affair is a microcosm of the last several years, a one-stop-shop highlighting all the ways in which Republicans have used the nonexistent problem of election fraud to destroy trust and make it harder to vote."

If you can't beat 'em, try to get 60,000 votes tossed out.

At the same time the largest conservative outlets were screaming about censorship, #Meta was internally clocking them as the biggest producers of hate speech on Facebook.

Simultaneously, one employee notes: "We make special exceptions to our written policies for them."

Billionnaires stole your living.

Not immigrants. Not minorities. Not people who follow a different religion.

Billionnaires. Noone needs a billion to live. Billionnaires could easily give you the money you lack and not notice the loss. They do not. They never will.
