CAN'T

GIVE

IT

UP

One of the consequences of living in a post-truth era is never having to apologize.

when i first saw the headline of this story i assumed they meant that they would discourage the use of the words "racist" or "racism" to instead use phrases like "racially-tinged" when the accusation is subjective or open to interpretation, and in my head i went back and forth for a minute on how this will be a small step towards a healthier conversation in the country, understanding that i'd be losing a small amount of my high ground when i trash the fake news media for their overuse of the word racist, but lo and behold, i continue reading to find out it's the opposite:

Associated Press offers new guidance to media on 'racially charged' vs 'racist'
https://thehill.com/homenews/media/4365 ... -vs-racist

The Associated Press on Friday offered new guidance to media organizations that write about issues of race and racism.

The AP Stylebook is now discouraging publications from using euphemisms for “racist,” like “racially charged” or “racially tinged.”

“Do not use racially charged or similar terms as euphemisms for racist or racism when the latter terms are truly applicable,” the new entry reads. “If racist is not the appropriate term, give careful thought to how best to describe the situation. Alternatives include racially divisive, racially sensitive, or in some cases, simply racial.”

so i guess this means i'm happy, since my high ground got slightly higher

Nichole Arbour versus the fake news British state propaganda outlet.



Her comment at 8:12 about what it is like from the perspective of actually disabled people to see this happen to others is on the money.

Who has a take on Owen Benjamin ?


I'm new to him. I punched the play button and his take on podcasters cucking out resonates with me.

Unless literally everything is an act, I think he is emotionally unstable and at risk.
