Gen Z males twice as likely as baby boomers to believe wives should obey husbands Global survey shows young men and boys hold more traditional views about gender roles than older generations

Yo brother, legal team confirmed that we can't work with minors rn

My university received a few years ago the promise of the largest single gift to a public university in U.S. history. It was equivalent to 12 hours of bombing Iran.

My school district is being forced to lay off several educators and a librarian because of a $500,000 budget gap, or roughly the amount spent on the war while I was typing this post.

If I were going to reboot a show it would be Space Above and Beyond.

It was a show before its time. And I think a show that centers on what happens when genetic engineering, artificial intelligence, and space colonization goes wrong is especially right for the moment.

But IF Biden or ANY Dem had said this, it'd be a hair on fire scandal on every paper and Chryon everywhere, and they'd crucify them in the media. But the media pathetically pretends to be "independent" yet lets shit like this fly with these small clips to cover it but not make a thing of it.

City Detect, which uses AI to help cities stay safe and clean, raises $13M Series A | TechCrunch City Detect, a company that helps local governments prevent urban decay, is in at least 17 cities so far, including Dallas and Miami.

“…the company was founded in part because cities were struggling to deal with ‘urban blight and decay.’ The idea was to use advanced computer vision and AI technology to help cities track and fix such problems.”

If I were running a dystopian surveillance company centered on "urban blight", I wouldn't have my photo taken in front of Dallas City Hall, which was the headquarters of OCP in the Robocop films. Dead or alive, irony is coming with me.

Even if it takes years, we have to bring EVERYONE who made this happen to justice. No moving on, no letting this go.

Revenge is good enough motivation for me personally, but the nobler and important reason is to ensure that anyone who thinks of doing this again knows they’ll rot in prison for it.

This is Andrew Paul Johnson. Andrew was convicted of insurrection on January 6 for assaulting cops.

Trump pardoned Andrew. 9 months later, Andrew was caught molesting children, sharing CSAM, & buying victims' silence by giving them money from a Justice Dept settlement.

Trump protects pedophiles.

I’d suggest that the people who use Claude are feeling anxious, and the AI model is mirroring anxiety back to them.

As far as concessions go, “the people for whom I am advocating are objectively unable to do the jobs I want them to have, and also have a nasty history of disqualifying themselves with their own rank bigotry” is an incredible thing to have to write

As millions face climate relocation, the nation’s first attempt sparks warnings and regret Three years after a federally funded move, Indigenous residents of Louisiana’s Isle de Jean Charles report broken homes — and promises

“I never expected that relocation was going to happen in my lifetime. Now that it has happened, it’s not a celebration.”

After a federally funded move inland, Indigenous residents of Isle de Jean Charles say their new homes are already falling apart.

YOUR ENEMIES LAMENT YOUR VERY EXISTENCE. DO YOU WANT TO TEXT A FRIEND?

The print press should always quote him exactly and TV should quote him exactly too, the way they do here:

Congress Is Considering Abolishing Your Right to Be Anonymous Online The bipartisan push to remove anonymity from the internet is ushering in an era of unprecedented mass surveillance and censorship.

I wrote about the House hearing today, how Congress is trying to strip anonymity from the Internet, and the devastating effects that has for journalists, whistleblowers, LGBTQ ppl, immigrants, civil rights activists, abortion providers and anyone challenging power for @theintercept.com

sounds like somebody needs to stop "fixating on identity politics" and get back to "kitchen table issues"

Whatever the free market can do to the fat body, it will soon do to yours. No one is thin enough and no one is safe. Eyes on the fat canary.

Pay attention to the things fat people won’t do. We know the built environment is crumbling because it collapses for us first. We know air travel is getting shittier because it pinches us the hardest. We know medical care is getting more expensive and more evil because it make us the problem.

Non-fiction is my comfort reading. If I'm stressed I am super likely to pick up something like your book, than fiction.

It bothers me that every election process is so chockful of misogynoir that I end up talking about them, despite feeling that it is LONG past time BW turn our collective power and knowledge base inward.

You don't have to share propaganda. I don't care if it's to legitimately criticize, make fun of, or doompost. You don't have to help proliferate the lies of the enemy. Don't do their job for them.

Very excited for Chanda's new book to come out! I can't think of anybody who combines all the different kinds of expert knowledge she has - are there any other faculty in the country jointly appointed in physics and astronomy and women’s and gender studies? Her perspective is such a wonderful tonic.

Bernard LaFayette, Selma voting rights organizer, has died Voting rights organizer Bernard LaFayette has died. LaFayette's son says his father died Thursday morning of a heart attack. He was 85.

Bernard LaFayette, the advance man who did the risky groundwork for the voter registration campaign in Selma, Alabama, that culminated in the passage of the Voting Rights Act of 1965, has died.

"Astartha, a trans woman warrior whose whole deal is killing a different variety of transphobe every time. Unsubtle, yes, but perhaps therapeutic in these times for some?"

Fucking right, it's cathartic for *me* as the author.

I dare any other public health expert to bring doing the kind of work Matt just gives away on a daily basis.

@andy.wrestlejoy.com @amy.wrestlejoy.com y'all have a good following. can you do me a favor and remind our friends in Chicago that voting for @katmabu.bsky.social is cowboy shit?
