the best part about star wars is when they violently blow up the fascists. this is closely followed by the 2nd best part, which is the abundance of little guys (many of which are heavily armed)

This is the mayor of the largest city in New Jersey, who was just last week offering vocal and unflinching support for trans people and calling out Democrats for cowardice and inaction. This is fucking horrifying.

ICE is a lawless organization that should be dismantled

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.

This is incredible. This computer science professor makes his students play a game that simulates the risks and repercussions of getting Long COVID, and then he's like, hey anybody want a mask? And: "approximately 95 to 100% of students who’ve played the game now wear masks in his classroom."

The radical right-wing legislature in Utah passed a bill that banned public schools and buildings from flying pride flags. But they are still allowed to fly city flags. So check out Salt Lake City’s newly adopted city flags.

People keep comparing ChatGPT to a calculator to me and like even if it were that simple of a comparison you still need to learn math. You still need to be able to count and do arithmetic before you rely on the calculator. And you should be able to do easy math in your head and by hand
