TikTok is a special place where for years you follow a woman who does silly skits about working in the restaurant industry and then you find out she drove 12 hours to attend the Charlie Kirk memorial.

I'm seeing some people post this and not realize this is PART of the radicalization. Building an audience from reasonable sounding videos and converting them into the pipeline. Weiss is doing this now as I get The Free Press ads about things like "low tech parenting" and workout fads.
reposting with alt text because this feels incredibly significant. the right-wing disinfo machine means a lot of the people grieving Charlie Kirk never heard any of the things he said that would have tarnished his brand as Guy Who Just Wants to Have Dialogue Across the Aisle

Dolly Parton has sent my daughter a new book every month for years as she does for thousands of children. She help fund the development of the Covid vaccine. She’s not a billionaire. I think as non wealthy people it’s hard to even imagine how much billionaires *could* be doing with their money.

As a Taylor Swift fan, I admittedly groaned when I heard she’s announcing a new album already, but I trust her and will wait until more deets come out before I think anything else

If you're reacting to this thread with "Why isn't my opinion as valuable as any so-called critic's?" you are -- how shall I put this? -- the problem. You see a statement that a profession you're not in has value, and your first thought is "I'm being insulted!" You're how we got here.
It's profoundly saddening to read that AP will no longer be assigning or running book reviews because readers don't engage with them enough and they take too much effort to plan and assign. People complain about critics as gatekeepers; wait until all that's left is marketing.

Respectfully this is one of the funniest Wikipedia articles I’ve ever seen

In addition, his birth is listed as [citation needed].](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:3pxnec4635nbjrs6wvwtpw3s/bafkreic6tlex7uvttdr3ep5qmlgqkzphwqz25fx5qi6xvobzrnm733heam@jpeg)

A genocide of Palestinians is happening. A genocide of trans ppl is happening. The gov is sending militarized goons to terrorize our communities. Everyone’s stressed the fuck out. We’re all handling it badly as best we can. Our hearts weren’t made to hold this. Let’s give each other more grace.

Don't just say it's unconstitutional, remind people that the constitution is full of very good ideas designed to prevent authoritarianism, and most people who want to ignore it want that specifically because they are authoritarian.

I firmly believe that every superhero has three identities: their public persona, their superhero alter ego, and their true self, which is often an amalgamation of the two.
