They’ve since changed the headline to “Did Liberal Feminism Ruin the Workplace?” Gotta try to slip that mask back on just a tiny bit. We didn’t mean all women, folks! Just the loud ones. And definitely not men. Never men, no matter what they do

I was not allowed to play video games growing up, but see this came out around when I learned to drive… is *this* where the joke came from about how many points you score for hitting [person description]?!
Breathless reporting across the industry on unconfirmed reports that Kirk's killer may have once breathed same air particles expelled by a trans person, meanwhile no interest in ironclad proof that yet another school shooter was a Nazi.

I’m asking what factors move people *towards* deradicalization, not which factors move them *away*. As I said, I understand they’re interconnected, but there is a difference. 2/2
I’m not trying to do some gotcha here. I’m really asking: as a layperson in this field, every single deradicalization I’ve read about has relied on small scale interactions to get there - the 1:1 talks, the small dinners. 1/2
I understand that there is an interconnectedness between radicalization and deradicalization factors, but I asked specifically about what works effectively for deradicalization. You answered with a factor for radicalization. That doesn’t actually address my question
Does engaging (versus shutting down or boycotting) with the public performance meant to spread radicalization even allow the kind of connections that could generate a deeper understanding of the humanity of those the radical professes to hate?
The egs of deradicalization I’ve read about have always happened in smaller, personal interactions. A small or 1:1 context to discuss views is very different to giving a platform to spread hate, is it not? Was it breaking bread that deradicalized Black or moments of performance (eg, public debate)?
BlueSky doesn’t allow edits, so the post you were “correcting” hasn’t changed. It’s unclear what original post you’re referring to, but it’s not the one your responded to
This was super validating to read tonight. The whiplash of feeling excitement or searching for moments of joy to then seeing another awful thing happen that narrows my place and the place of loved ones and community members in this world is so hard to reconcile

But I don’t know the structure of that lot/parking garage and the idea of tanks being at the top of a parking structure has me feeling skeptical about that as the location
No answer yet from OP, but I did some maps based sleuthing. It looks like it was taken west of the Kaiser Permanente corporate office at 1 Kaiser Plaza. At least, that’s what I can tell from the buildings in the background. There’s a parking lot and parking garage in that direction, so maybe there?
I think it’s important to notice why so many Americans believe the criminal group exists: yes the media but also two political parties that kept talking about this criminal imaginary. Two. That appeal to Liz Cheney moderates shit is damaging.

Snarky video made by the good folks at the Jackson Center as part of their response (along with the appeals advocacy work they are in the process of)

In Orange County, NC, we just had the issue that homes owned by Black community members were overvalued for tax purposes (while of course continuing to be undervalued for bank loans)

The tragic landslide in Blatten gives me the excuse to tell you the story of how we found out Ice Ages existed. It's a cool story and the most important bit is rather similar to what's happening now.
Of 14,777 unique articles on the NYT's homepage over the 310 days from 1/1/24 to Election Day, 293 articles–almost one a day–focused on Biden’s age compared with just 27 articles focused on Project 2025, a ratio of 10.9 to one mediabiasdetector.seas.upenn.edu/blog/new-yor...
RESULT: Omaha's Republican Mayor Jean Stothert just lost to her Democratic challenger John Ewing.
Stothert, who was running for a fourth term, resorted to anti-trans ads and messaging around who uses bathrooms in the final stretch of the campaign.
Ewing will be Omaha's first Black mayor.
The U.S. is one of the few countries that taxes you on your income even when you live abroad. Many countries have double taxation treaties to prevent your income from being taxed twice, but who knows if the U.S. will continue to hold to those…
It is becoming normalized more and more. But it is not the normal we expect from the US constitution. It is an purposeful escalation in normalizing these violations to be arresting mayors of major cities.
Saying „isn’t this kinda normal?“ is lending rhetorical support to that escalation.
(Shoot, my app didn’t show that others had already submitted options too. Not quite a first draft!)
I‘d like to submit Feigenbaumfundfreude (joy of discovering a fig tree) as a first draft
Your occasional reminder that tariffs are constitutionally a Congressional power, which they have delegated to the President under the premise that there is some sort of emergency. The Republicans in Congress can reclaim that power anytime they want.
