More people need to constructively engage with the fact that many "red" states remain red because of deliberate, systematic, and violent suppression of Black people's voting rights.

If watching library workers resist leads you to expect us to save you, you're taking away the wrong message. You should be viewing this as a clear indicator that YOU can and should stand up and push back, too. We need help, not acclaim.

If anyone suggests we need to narrow or cut SNAP to save money it’s important to know that it’s a BIG STINKIN LIE because SNAP is a program that generates anywhere from 40-65% profit And also nobody should starve what the fuck—

Every extra hour that ICE spends facing off with activists is an hour they can't spend kidnapping other people. Every extra minute ICE has to spend contingency planning around activists and neighbors, every extra officer ICE has to put on a kidnap squad, is a drain on their efficiency.

What its like to be a faculty member in Florida, elsewhere, and maybe your local university soon. Racists try to entrap you into saying something that the Governor has deemed is grounds for dismissal, or make false claims. Free speech on campus is clearly declining.

I can't stand this: don't use ChatGPT! Ever! Not even as a joke. Every prompt, line or engagement fuels it, taking away from you or someone else. It uses enormous resources to do nothing beneficial, except, on the surface, help lazy people do work they're paid for or steal from us writers.

Credible reports of at least 3 Indian Air Force jets downed. This counts as significant losses given the extreme difficulty with which such assets can be replaced. Unlikely this tempo can be maintained for very long without serious change in strategy.

The open fighting between India and Pakistan looks as bad as it's been in a long long time. India claiming to have hit nine targets inside Pakistan, Pakistan claiming to have downed two jets and hit an airbase. Every possibility things get worse from here.

This is correct. The US will do worse in terms of scientific outcomes, but globally, the rest of the world will be worse off also (with the possible exception of China), even if some countries will be doing comparatively better than the US.

I will never cease to be amazed at the way these people believe that whether they are happy, fulfilled, or got the big ending to their character arc that they always wanted is relevant to us. They don’t simply believe we do care; they expect that we should.

empathy is important, people falling down those rabbit holes NEED to know that you their loved ones will be there for them when and if they leave but empathy must be paired with a hard line. "No I do not believe this. No I will not debate certain things. If you cross this line we no longer talk."

The fact that YouTube and IG shove a ton of "men's rights" stuff at young boys and men who are explicitly telling the algorithm "don't show me this stuff" is something we need to regulate. These influencers pay gobs of money to get their content placed and the platforms just shove it everywhere.

If you go to Buenos Aires, you see Argentina's premier university - UBA - split into campuses spread across the city. It can take an hour or more to go from, for example, the humanities campus to the law campus. On purpose, during the dictatorship, to keep academics fractured and disempowered.
