Having a bit of a hard time with the concept that if a guy in a police uniform who has a police vehicle shows up I should lock the doors and call 911, but if a guy in a ski mask with an hGH gut appears to be kidnapping my neighbor, I shouldn’t ask who he is if I don’t want federal charges.

I saw this shit all the time in Education and it is why I'm DEEPLY skeptical of anyone who wants to talk to you about your passion because lemme tell you, the more they wanna encourage your passion the less they wanna pay you.

Also, NYT: if everyone’s jumping off a bridge, in fact it IS bad and you shouldn’t jump! If everyone’s drunk driving, it is BAD and call a cab! If everyone is using a piece of software that demonstrably damages their intellect?? Yeah, it’s BAD. Get back to thinking on your own!

Literature is dead and no one reads anymore! I would still encourage you to make terrible life choices and become a writer anyway! Fuck a job, write poetry!

The older I get the more it seems to me that expending your energy to violently hate a fictional character is really cringe.

BREAKING: A federal judge reversed National Institutes of Health's terminations of hundreds of critical research grants that were canceled because of their alleged connection to disfavored topics, including diversity, equity, inclusion, and gender identity. This is a major win for public health.

What is common knowledge in your field, but shocks outsiders? Summer and Winter breaks aren't vacations - they're seasonal layoffs. Teachers aren't paid for that time. If we were, the US average teacher salary of $70k would be over $100k.

Today is 19 days since I went to a restaurant, had any take-out or delivery. Yay for my wallet and my health! The real test will be if I can keep it up once I go back to work in August.

I did an event in DC & there was a party for donors etc after. Was talking to 2 ppl & I said "Things are so bad." They said "No this is how it is. Things swing one way, then another. It's normal." That's when I realized why Dems are toothless. They have no idea what this is. Frogs boiling in water.

🚨 BREAKING: Nearly 4 months the NIH cut its first grants, a judge has ruled that the directives and process that led to cuts are arbitrary and capricious. "The explanations are bereft of reasoning — virtually in their entirety... unsupported by [facts]." Each of them are VOID and ILLEGAL, he says.

I just want 'ai' to go away. The simultaneous widespread poisoning of knowledge; attempt to end-run professions that cultivate critical thinking; and sucking the joy out of everything while ramming unwanted technology down our throats is so exhausting. I just can't anymore.

Someone really came on here and ranted about how Lucanis’s and anyone else’s asexual spectrum identities in the entire DA series wasn’t explicit enough because it was “never explored explicitly in their character arcs.” …………. Excuse me?

What if we chose to NOT make a world where CEOs earn 52 times more than the actual workers who produce the product and still struggle to make ends meet? I know it's extreme, but I believe people shouldn't starve at the same time others are buying a second yacht? Sorry for being a radical lefty.

I would like my state, every state, to mandate badges, name plates, no masks, for all law enforcement in the state. And if federal agents try to break the mandate, arrest them, then let the courts sort it out.

i've been trying to see what the right wing platforms (even outside of X) are showing people regarding the protests in LA and i am not sure it can be overstated just how much the AI slop is being used to reinforce the idea that downtown is a post-apocalyptic war zone
