Semafor is offensive.
gamera obscura (@ohrobin.bsky.social)
“[S]ponsored by the Knight Foundation and funded to the tune of $25 million by…including crypto billionaire Sam Bankman-Fried, The Atlantic owner David Bradley, and fellow media mogul Jessica Lessin, it's hard to see Semafor operating anywhere but well within the bounds of established norms.”

A significant amount of left-centrists, liberals, progressives and even socialists in the United States will simultaneously say America is a melting pot where anyone can be anything they want and then turn around and act like they've never heard of ethnic groups caring about ethnic issues.

The debate is really over two visions of law enforcement: one is based on "race-neutral," technocratic policing that relies on "hot spots" and surveillance data. The other is brute force, street-smarts, never filling out paperwork. The problem is neither one works. www.vice.com/en/article/u...

They are universally terrible movies made, I assume, for people too scared to go all-in on either violence or porn (both sacred). They’re just bland imitations of better genres. They’re ice milk.

“Israel is destroying Gaza. Call it ethnic cleansing, call it erasure, call it genocide, call it whatever you want. I have no doubt that Raphael Lemkin, the Jewish-Polish jurist who coined the term "genocide," would declare with tears of shame that the Jewish state is committing genocide in Gaza.“

None of us give a shit about Jill Stein now, and very few of us ever did, but she’s the favorite liberal scapegoat when they can’t defend their own positions or lack of action.

at their core, trans rights, abortion rights, and vaccine rights are actually all the same issue: they’re all about bodily autonomy, and the willingness to concede any of them puts the others at risk.

thing is, if you’re like me and have been looking for this very sort of job for over a year, feeling like you’re about to unravel from the stress of it all, you’re lying if you say it isn’t tempting, just for a second, to be able to afford healthcare even as you build your own gallows.

considering republicans are trying to traffic children literally as we speak, “we will protect your children from republicans” is a broadly applicable goal that seems easy to sell but i guess we don’t talk about child safety at the kitchen table?

Fredrick Hampton was drugged, shot, and blatantly used as an example to black folks by both the government and the police for speaking the entirety of the truth. He was only 21 years old. I think about that way more often than I should.
