I miss college man. Just fuckin taking a class, getting your brain rewired. Going to the bookstore with the syllabus and buying 12 books you’ve never heard of. It’s so hard to replicate later in life. It’s why I get mad at the “college is bullshit” crowd

this is largely just a difference in framing but imo the thing that destroys fascists constantly is that almost none of them can accurately judge risk. Franco was a huge exception. he actually was very intelligent and savvy. not common traits among his kind.

I’m not someone who centers her transness in her life per se. But I never felt like a whole person before I transitioned, and now I do. Whatever pain others try to inflict on me for that reflects the rot in their soul, not the light in mine.

Google shoving AI into everything is obviously bad, but I can not stop it, and it just put this in my face, and it's maybe the funniest thing I've ever read

we're doing economy talk again, which is always fun, so once again: "graphs" is just a fun little word for real world data, and "the reality on the ground" or whatever is just another way of saying "my vibes on shit based on some posts I've read".

The American Bar Association has just called upon every attorney, regardless of their political views, to join them & stand up for the rule of law & at minimum insist that our government "follow the law." Every lawyer has an ethical responsibility to do so. www.americanbar.org/news/abanews...

I really really need you guys to make a conscious rejection of generative AI tools part of your ongoing political resistance. Don't use ChatGPT. Turn off Gemini. Don't read the AI results forced upon you at the top of Google search. Don't use AI art generators or support anyone who does. Please.

Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.

I need every cis person that follows me to read this and genuinely think about it for a while, and I need them to understand that this is the explicit goal of this administration. If you’re trans, you know the stories like it already; spare yourself.

When a single billionaire can accumulate more money in 10 seconds than their employees make in one year, while workers struggle to meet the basic cost of rent and medicine, then yes, every billionaire really is a policy failure. Read our op-ed here ⤵️

Look there's a LOT wrong with sci-fi and fantasy books from the 80s and early 90s but those authors would find the thirstiest, most shameless sicko imaginable and pay him $5000 to draw the horniest, most extravagant cover art you've ever seen in your life and we need to go back to those days

I think the more horrifying implication of all of these companies getting rid of their DEI programs - even more so than the loss of these programs themselves - is, like. Those programs exist to insulate them from civil rights lawsuits. Which means they're not worried about those lawsuits anymore
