I still can’t believe this motherfucker is going to be the president again.

A large sign was placed atop a school building in Beit Lahia, North Gaza, facing upward, so Israeli pilots and drone operators could see it. In Hebrew and English, it said: "School. Please Don't Bomb." On November 3, the Israeli Army struck the building. www.haaretz.com/middle-east-...

Today I have been in a meeting that literally was a PowerPoint which I already could have read in my own time

I took the Page 99 Test. Check it out! page99test.blogspot.com/2024/11/paul...

Quite a photo

I’m not sure what’s going on with my feet lately, but now bending over to pick up a box apparently can make my foot cramp. So… what’s the correlation between candy on Halloween, bending to pick up stuff and foot cramping? 🤔

Jeffries: This is the lesson you've drawn? From the election in November? This is your priority? That you want to bully a member of congress? As opposed to welcoming her to join this body?

Rep. Jasmine Crockett: "There has been no oppression for the white man in this country ... it is white men on this side of the aisle telling us, people of color on this side of the aisle, that y'all are the ones being oppressed."

Just my 2 cents. But my goal is to ignore the trolls. Give them zero attention. Block them if they annoy me. I think the worst thing we can do on this site is re-create the ad hominem/ personal attacks that occur across comments on Twitter/insta/tiktok/ etc

Finally, I may get catharsis for my hatred of the 1929 Permanent Apportionment Act. I’ve been asking for 500 districts (avg 10 per state), with multimember allotment depending on population density. Cities deserve to run the House the way land runs the Senate.

NOW—Scores of people here in Hart Senate Building in DC, calling on senators to support Joint Resolutions of Disapproval to block weapon sales to Israel. Am told members of faith groups, moms, healthcare workers, educators, students, veterans are here. Police snatching banners.

goblinlove.com got all the attention but I want to know what Alex Jones was planning to do with succulentdinosaur.com

I don’t really follow this guy but it looks like he’s doing his Republican pivot. Right on time. Fucking cowards, all of them.

I would like to speak up today for the trans community. You see, I know a bit of what it’s like to be politically scapegoated. When Japan attacked Pearl Harbor in 1941, suddenly anyone in America who had any amount of Japanese ancestry became suspect. Politicians preyed upon ignorance and fear. /1

I’ve officially started subconsciously opening blue sky instead of Twitter

As the war in Lebanon expands, more than 1.2 million people— 1/5 of the population—have been displaced from their homes. While most have sought safety in other parts of Lebanon, more than 470,000 people, mostly Syrians, have crossed into Syria in the last six weeks. www.nytimes.com/2024/11/11/w...

Those who celebrate Christmas, when do the decorations go up? I'm "a" a Day after Thanksgiving b Sometime in Nov c Week of Christmas d Decorations still up from last year

10yo: I told my teacher I would bake for the event Me: What event? When? 10yo: Ummmm… It’s a Thursday. The 20-something Me: Like this Thursday!? What are you going to make? 10yo: Baking Me: 10yo: You told me I should participate in something

For someone interested in the "global middle ages" debates, this global late antiquity stuff looks neat. But this point about collaboration! I yearn for a world where it is just normal and incentives, including tenure expectations, reflect that. The heroic individual genius needn't be our model.

For the 1st prompt of #FolktaleWeek2024, #FolktaleWeekMist I thought I would tell another Canadian folktale about a flaming ghost ship or strange light phenomenon which has been observed in NB in the Baie des Chaleurs. There are a few different versions of the folklore but the one I like is told in

Future UN climate summits should be held only in countries that can show clear support for climate action and have stricter rules on fossil fuel lobbying, according to a group of influential climate policy experts. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Man, I’m so overdue for a Larry Sanders rewatch

Anytime Elon Musk posts something like this I just imagine what I’d do with 300 billion dollars. I don’t think I’d ever glance at the internet again if I had 300 billion dollars, let alone post whatever this is

Energy wrong, I log off.

“The Multiracial Right: A Post-Election Roundtable” is getting started now at the 2024 American Studies Association conference.

Found my book at the ⁦UNC Press‬⁩ booth at the #2024ASA.

It’s subtle in some ways, but Mikhail Bakhtin may have a top 5 author pic. Who else would rank??

Yikes! We’ve just hit 1K followers! Thank you so much for following. We’re here mainly to share roses, plus a few nice things from gardens, nature and landscapes. Here’s a south coast of England November sunset. 🌱

Deception, disguise and finally a disappearance. This might sound like the premise of a magic trick, but it’s the story of a woman who managed to fool a male-only, world-famous magic society into admitting her, before being kicked out when she revealed her true identity. Now, they want her back.

Am not supposed to have favourites - but I do! 🤭 ‘It’s A Wonderful Life’ (August ‘24). Have a good day everyone, take care, stay safe. #roses 🌱

"I’m a neuroscientist who taught rats to drive." "We found that the rats had an intense motivation for their driving training, often jumping into the car and revving the “lever engine," writes Kelly Lambert, Professor of Behavioral Neuroscience theconversation.com/im-a-neurosc...

Biden hosting Trump today is a choice. An idiotic choice that normalizes fascism.

I am wearing the J. Lo shirt again.

"figure something else out"

So true. I don’t truly have enough hours in the day to do the actual work, let alone the second job of telling people about it and reminding them I still exist. It’s a cruel twist of fate but why I think creatives like social media so much - dip in, dip out. Quick post. Done.

“Catholic school, as vicious as Roman rule…”

The day after the election, Miguel said that if the government decides to deport him, or he is forced out of the shelter, he has nowhere to go. “I don’t have a place to live, I cannot work because I don’t have a permit, I’m a single father. Fear is all over me.” www.thedial.world/articles/new...
