THINGS YOU CAN BUY WITH ONE HUNDRED BILLION DOLLARS

let me say that this is the classic “just asking questions” approach to delegitimizing the achievements of black people. and critically, you don’t even have to be a black person who talks about race. simply being black to these people means you are “obsessed with race.”

Meh, I respect Russ Meyer more. My guy finished his time with the Army and asked himself what he wanted to do with himself. "Shit. I hate Nazis, I like making movies, muscle cars and ladies with huge bazongas, whatever shall I do OH WAIT"

companies listening to what people say they want instead of making art and just giving them something has been ruinous for games, movies and more for the last 10-15 years

I think it’s not helpful to repeat claims that the administration is working on eliminating “DEIA” as though it’s some kind of corporate strategy; just say explicitly that they’re trying to eliminate diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility, and explain how.

OpenAI isn't on the path to becoming a for profit company! They spent $9 billion to lose $5 billion last year! And if you think Sam Altman is some virtuous guy being pushed around by venture capitalists you are a god damn mark, holy shit

Also if you feel strongly about Eric Adams, you should call your city councilmember to express that and ask for their position. You’d be surprised. Hochul’s stance is highly disappointing but it doesn’t come from nowhere. Press all your electeds. City elections are in 5 months. Ask candidates too.

this is from a new report on a “third way” on DEI and it is unbelievably naive, which in my view is emblematic of the author, rich kahlenberg, whose willingness to extend good faith to obvious bad faith actors borders on gullibility www.progressivepolicy.org/a-way-out-of...

He flipado con esto que me ha contado @davidlafuente.bsky.social Una editorial mexicana no aceptó la muerte de Gwen Stacey y siguieron publicando comics de Spiderman continuando una realidad que no existía en el universo oficial del personaje. ¡El miedo les forzó a crear su propio What If...?!

'luigi mangione being celebrated as a hero will lead to a valorization of vigilante violence' is one of those things that only sounds reasonable if you start paying attention to American vigilantism at the exact moment it targets someone with wealth and influence

A whole generation of early career scientists and physician-scientists, including colleagues and myself, are particularly vulnerable to these funding freezes and cuts, with jobs and careers depending on federal grants. #IDsky #Medsky #Episky www.science.org/content/arti...

This is a right-wing media outlet using the false promise of nuclear power in a predatory, cynical and deeply cruel way to exploit the broad systemic failure to enact a just transition away from fossil fuels. Just utterly messed up HT @simonahac.bsky.social

here's hoping, but why would they? the scum in charge of Israel feel confident in their US backers, so what's changed?

once upon a time, I thought we merely needed to extract the white supremacist state from the arts and sciences, but now that "wealthy fuckhead zionists" keep coming out to play we may need to burn the entire bunyip gentry AND aristocracy to the ground.

Coming around to the view that a certain kind of narcissist simply needs Musk to be a genius rather than a fraud, because they want to believe there’s a hereditary Brahmin class of accomplished, beautiful minds—and that they’re a part of that class.

When it comes to neurodivergence, the only “cure” I can think of is to stamp it out at the genetic level. So…eugenics. That is clearly the logical endpoint of the White House’s stance, and Erin is right
