We should ask why it’s so easy for terms and concepts like “Heritage American” and “Western Chauvinism” are met with earnest analysis and exploration while academic theory produced by Black scholars are summarily dismissed by people reading introductory texts if that.

Every time I see a clip of that Fortnite event with all the IP characters together like it’s Endgame or Ready Player One, I think back to this panel from a Thor comic and wonder how it got past editorial since it’s the writer clearly implicating their own company along with every other one too.

Absolutely cannot wait to bust down the doors for a drink made by a company whose unionized workers are on strike in a store that doesn’t want to hire minorities anymore.
Beginning Monday, a Frozen Peppermint Hot Chocolate drink will be available exclusively at Starbucks cafés inside Target stores.
The chains are hoping the drink can drum up excitement from customers this holiday season.

of course, the moderate groups have been WRONG ABOUT EVERYTHING, in electoral terms, so we should consider that when we consided their advice
But moderate groups are explicitly advising Democrats not to discuss climate change. That message resonates with @schatz.bsky.social and @gallego.senate.gov who both told me they plan to use the frame of affordability to tout more clean energy deployment.
