I hope she means full face masks, which do have some public safety effects, and not Covid type nose-mouth masks.

Just watched Mifune: The Last Samurai (2015). So good.
Auto-correct changed this title to “Maurine: The Last Samurai”. I don’t know how. But now I want to see that.

I hope people know that if the Jan 6 rioters had made it into the Senate or House chamber in large numbers & declared themselves the govt, they would NOT be or become the govt in any sense. The Senate would be wherever a legit quorum assembled. The House the same. The US govt is NOT the building.

Yes - and tech categories are often the most (loudest, most extreme, most obvious), not (or not necessarily) the best.
Song is usually “which song would your grandmother prefer” (no offense to grandmothers; I increasingly share your taste).

Coming up: face cleaning headset. Worn before and after the other headset, it prepares and then repairs your face, including hard-to-reach “deep pores.” For 80% more, add the HairWasher with sensors that gently evaluate and apply the right type and amount of hair products. Only for you, from Apple.

The person who made it an issue literally publicly declared he was acting in bad faith. And Ackman has just decided plagiarism is no biggie because his wife got caught doing the same thing. Stop doing nazi work for the Nazis.

The issues raised about Gay are not nothing, but they did not justify forcing her resignation as president. That was a purely political call by the Corporation.
How do we know her behavior was no big deal? She is still a professor. If it were actually egregious, she would have lost both jobs.

No one talks about how Vader played Evillene when his space academy did The Wiz.

So true. What is to be done? We have to enable it to survive this.

Also: a person whose career is fake because of plagiarism - which is the charge Rufo & Co. make - will not have merely copied a paragraph in 1995; their intellectual work will be based on it. Claudine Gay was “scalped” because her age, race, and beliefs cause some to hate her. Fix this, Harvard. 2/2

If you steal intellectual work - theories, discussion - that’s plagiarism of serious nature. But if someone uses the same generic phrases (like “A lark is a tree”), it’s next to meaningless. The examples I’ve read are the second kind. 1/2

The flaw in humankind is that appeals to emotion ALWAYS outweigh appeals to logic and reason. Always always always. If a person FEELS like voting for Cowboy Hat Guy is better, they vote for them, even if he's worse. Our reach exceeds our grasp as a species so long as we have this flaw in our nature.

It seems he definitely intended to destroy it as an effective communication & organizing space for Democrats. Whether he also meant to destroy it altogether, I don’t know. But since he has succeeded at the first, I won’t be sorry if he nails the second as well.

Most white men with money have no problem with a fascist takeover because they think nothing the new dictatorship does will negatively affect them, and will probably save them money and smooth the path to MWMM’s ongoing power.
