“The New York Times collaborated with a white nationalist eugenicist hacker and agreed to keep his identity a secret to publish a Zohran Mamdani hit piece” is a way bigger story than “18 year old Zohran Mamdani ticked ‘African American’ on his Columbia application because he was a citizen of Uganda”

That Dropped Call With Customer Service? It Was on Purpose.
Endless wait times and excessive procedural fuss—it’s all part of a tactic called “sludge.”

Quality Bluesky right here, you mention a Star Trek ep and the writer is there to comment. Top tier social media experience.
Melinda M. Snodgrass @melindas.osky.social (the writer of the ep) Thank you very much. My focus in law school was Constitutional law, and it was a way to discuss Dred Scott in a setting where it could have an impact, but give people space to consider the issues without becoming defensive. It's what makes science fiction so wonderful. Birds Are Dinosaurs 20 = a @birds... • 10h It's a beautiful piece of writing that has only become more relevant with time. Thank you for writing it. 12 Melinda M. Snodgrass @melindas.o... • 10h I had a brilliant cast and a wonderful director, and I would never have done it had George R.R. not called & told me I would be good at this screenwriting thing & if I wrote a spec script he would show it to his agent. That's how it all started.

Don't want to support a billionaire today?

Support an artist instead.

If not me, then some other artist. We all need your support these days.
