the progression system is there, but hidden. each time someone reads a chapter in a copy, a random character stat is buffed (this is why no library can carry it)

Academics Must Seize the Means of Knowledge Production - Public Books Trumpism has canceled the knowledge society.

Great call to arms by @cnewf.bsky.social, following the tactic of Jed Esty's "Future of Decline" by looking to Stuart Hall & the New Left, & urging us to forego "private agency within our universities" in favor of "collective agency by running them."

Congress caused a judicial vacancy crisis in DC by repeatedly failing to confirm judges for DC courts.

Instead of fixing it, today it will vote on a bill to eliminate the little say DC gets on selecting the judges in our local courts.

The bill would let President Trump handpick DC judges instead.

There is, as of right now, no coverage of this protest on the WaPo website or in their @washingtonpost.com feed.

So, if you (you reading this) want people to SEE this protest, you must share it.

Make calls to Congress: Pass the termination resolutions. New bills would end the emergency period and Trump's power in DC.

Make calls to Congress: Pass the termination resolutions. New bills would end the emergency period and Trump's power in DC.

Reps @raskin.house.gov @robertgarcia.bsky.social @eleanornorton.bsky.social and Senator @vanhollen.senate.gov have introduced resolutions to end the emergency period in DC โ€” and end Trump's power here.

We need Congress to pass these bills as swiftly as possible. FreeDCproject.org/termination

this is a hard question, and the ask is exactly to have everyone sit with it, figure out an answer, and then act

there was pushback and questions, but claims to crunchy tech expertise is what bottomlines the excuses about horrific data practices: โ€œwe need to โ€˜uplevelโ€™ our understanding of the technologyโ€
