‘The Third Coast,’ by Thomas Dyja, and More - NYTimes.com:

Where the hell does this woman live? Up her own ass? I lived there for almost 15 years, and like any place, it has its problems. But, truly, it’s a beautiful city. There’s no mention of the various neighborhoods and art and music…Chicago bleeds diversity and culture.

This is what I’d call a hit piece, and Shteir an elitist hitwoman.

"I am asking every reasonable American to help me tell the truth about the cowardice these senators..."

“I am asking every reasonable American to help me tell the truth about the cowardice these senators demonstrated. I am asking for mothers to stop these lawmakers at the grocery store and tell them: You’ve lost my vote. I am asking activists to unsubscribe from these senators’ e-mail lists and to stop giving them money. I’m asking citizens to go to their offices and say: You’ve disappointed me, and there will be consequences.”

"These data are the first to demonstrate that not only do whites think more progress has been made..."

““These data are the first to demonstrate that not only do whites think more progress has been made toward equality than do blacks, but whites also now believe that this progress is linked to a new inequality – at their expense,” note Norton and Sommers. Whites see racial equality as a zero sum game, in which gains for one group mean losses for the other.”

A frost flower is created on autumn or early winter mornings when ice in extremely thin layers is pushed out from the stems of plants or occasionally wood. This extrusion creates wonderful patterns which curl and fold into gorgeous frozen petioles giving this phenomenon both its name and its appearance.
