I'd seen a million links to this great @dansinker.com piece over the last few days and finally had a chance to read it. Really resonates, especially as I'm trying to create and share more dansinker.com/posts/2025-0...

Look at the gender breakdown of who speaks in popular films!

In this News Brief, "NPR Asks Starving Palestinian Living On Rubble to Denounce Hamas, Co-Sign his Own Ethnic Cleansing," we we break down an object lesson in racist US-Israeli national security state toadyism, double standards, and runaway condescension.

The guy who's in charge of terrorism in the UK makes it clear here that his target is 'the enemy within', meaning the people of the UK are about to get a taste of what has previously has mostly been confined to colonised peoples.

Absolutely not. Every time someone tries this, I point out how it biases against Black speech. Every. Time. 🤷🏿‍♂️ Also from the launch of the Perspective API and its "toxicity" score. Police don't kill too many Black kids." Score: Not toxic.🤦🏿‍♂️ "Police kill too many Black kids. Score: 80.28% toxic.😮

What I like about role-playing games is that they allow you to act out power fantasies that you could never achieve in real life.

Ursula K. Le Guin on the true pain of being a writer

Although I knew it was likely like this, I’m still shocked reading it. Must read, in order to know the depths of fascism we are only beginning to experience. And the treatment that those who dissent will likely be subjected to sooner rather than later.

Dawn at My Lai

119 years ago - on 6 March 1906 - US troops assaulted Bud Dajo in the Southern Philippines, killing 1000 men, women and children. 3 Medals of Honor were awarded after the massacre, which is still commemorated in the crest of the 4th Cavalry Regiment and by a campaign streamer on the US Army flag.

It's Pancake Day! Time to EAT PANCAKES in HONOR OF MACHIAVELLI! What do pancakes have to do with the founder of modern political science? Our boy Nick was obsessed with pancakes! & wrote about them at length in his "Art of War." Why pancakes? He'd been studying the ancients of course! 1/?
