If you're watching the Super Bowl this year, be prepared for a double dose of religion in the form of the #HeGetsUs ads.

Besides trying to stop the tide of people leaving Xianty, the campaign says they want to "unify the American people around.... Jesus.

No, thanks.

This is a cool approach: Instead of giving a rimjob to the new Potter video game, Rock Paper Shotgun has chosen to have a "magic week," in which they highlight indie games about wizardry and magic.

Here's hoping that other wizard game with the antisemitic and anti-trans tropes bombs.

"“The 1619 Project” is not divisive or anti-American. It’s about showing Black Americans what we’ve been through and what we’re capable of and honoring those, Black and White, who sacrificed so much so that we could continue our fight against racism. Teaching Black history is about showing us, after all we’ve been through and are still going through, that we are all truly Americans.

No wonder some are so desperate to stop it."

Here's your regular reminder that Andrew Sullivan is now, and always has been, a white supremacist, no matter how charming his English accent might be.

That's how he made his name: By pushing the idea that Black people are genetically inferior. It's no surprise to see him line up against most of the great minds of anti-Racist thought. Thanks to @jbouie.

At first glance, this sounds REALLY cool: Zoe Saldana has appeared in 4 of the 6 top-grossing movies worldwide.

But it's also significant that she's made up to look alien in all 4 of those movies: Her Blackness is completely disguised, because in Hollywood, aliens are more acceptable and relatable than Black people.

Bullshit headline claims that the unvaccinated should have "warned" about the alleged dangers of COVID vaccines.

For the record, I'm very happy with my vaccination, thank you very much.

Civil rights attorney Ben Crump is organizing pushback against Ron DeSantis's attempt to censor an AP class on Black History:

"Ben Crump held a press conference Wednesday, along with a group of students, demanding that the AP course must be reinstated in classrooms across the state, or a class action lawsuit will be filed.

He warned that a state governor is not a king, and cannot “exterminate Black history from the classrooms of Florida [and] across America.”

This is one of those Onion stories that feels very, very hard to distinguish from reality. I'm sure that Carlson wouldn't even understand that it's a joke at his expense.

I kind of want to answer the question here by saying, "I was a young, mild-mannered heterosexual until one day I was bitten by a radioactive bisexual spider. From that day, I gained the libido and thirst of a bisexual."

(Plus of course, the unreliable yet sometimes useful "bisexual sense," which sometimes tells me when there are other bisexuals in the area.)

Seriously, check out @luxalptraum's newsletter on bisexuality. It's awesome.

YouTube recording of Elon Musk trying to "explain" why he banned a bunch of journalists from Twitter for the apparent crime of reporting on him. He claims that by reporting on the ElonsPlane account, they were in fact doxxing him.

He sounds bad. Desperate, and clutching for explanations.

So apparently, certain right-wing Jews are finally fed up with Trump after his dinner with Nick Fuentes — because the 4 years of his administration and his "both sides" approach to Charlottesville wasn't disgusting enough for them.

NOW you're getting the point that he's an incurable antisemite?

Excellent thread by #Raheli, one of the original developers of LiveJournal on the challenges that new #socialmedia like #Mastodon and #Hive face. It's a heartbreaker, and CW for discussions of abuse and violence.
