If the little community counterdisinfo school I'm teaching for can say "No" to multiple letters from the State Dept. demanding lists of student names and class materials, which we did, then COLUMBIA sure as fuck could have

The great thing about fighting back against this stuff is that if you end up losing anyway you get the same outcome you’d have gotten from complying but you don’t have to fucking hate yourself too.

A vote for Cuomo is a vote to put Trump in charge of NYC

Got an email yesterday asking me to vote in the Yale Corporation Alumni Fellow Election. In their materials, neither candidate addresses Trump's efforts to destroy higher education or what they plan to do about it. One of the candidates' job is implementing "A.i." in Microsoft productions. 🤷

I like giving credit when deserved - I couldn't get my old Tivoli Model One to connect via Bluetooth, so I emailed their customer service - and got a helpful response within literal MINUTES.

This by itself is entirely disqualifying. Do not rank Cuomo on your ballot in the Democratic mayoral primary, friends. Leave him completely off - vote for five other candidates instead.

Do you know how rare it is for elected officials to actually say out loud they're committed to "protecting our immigrant neighbors"? @shahanafrombk.bsky.social is the real deal.

The thing that’s worth remembering, for Harvard especially but also for other schools following their lead, is that Trump would do this regardless. Complying with them doesn’t protect you, it just shows them where they can keep punching.

Hey, did you know there's an alternative to ChatGPT that makes sense economically and doesn't destroy the environment? It's called English majors and they will happily fix all of your documents for the low price of health insurance and a living wage.

NEW: Blue Cross authorized mastectomies & breast reconstructions at one hospital, then refused to pay the full doctors' bills. BUT... The insurer did make some exceptions. On several occasions, Blue Cross execs signed deals to pay for their wives’ treatment. By @tchristianmiller.bsky.social

I called my senators and US rep and told them to join Van Hollen on his trip to El Salvador and bring back the people who have been wrongly imprisoned in those concentration camps. Call your reps and tell them the same thing if you feel similarly. Find your reps here: reps.fyi

Okay, I'm set up with Luna Display and have my old iMac working as the screen for my new Mac Mini! Thanks to everyone who chimed in! One more question - can't use the iMac's webcam, alas. So I probably need to buy a webcam. Anyone have suggestions of something kinda cheap but good enough?

Making a big deal about sending an all women team “to space” on Blue Origin, in full glam, while defunding programs that support women scientists and stripping DEIA from NASA…is something else. Science for me, but not for thee! #standupforscience

OK, I left messages for Cruz and Cornyn. For Cruz I kept to the script, but for Cornyn I just started ad-libbing at the end: “Just get rid of him. Get rid of him and y’all can still be as right wing as you want, but without this absolute lunatic.” Think he’ll be persuaded?

I just called mine, all Democrats, and they were receptive to my request that the demand answers about the illegally deported Venezuelan immigrants as well as joining Van Hollen on his trip to El Salvador on behalf of Kilmar Abrego Garcia.
