@Lakers Doing wonders for my mental health this season

YES!

This Amazon announce team might be the best in the biz

An issue we're seeing at all levels of university is that many students are simply refusing to do *anything*. They aren't reading the syllabus, aren't following assignment guidelines, aren't engaging with material, ignoring deadlines. And this might seem like old news, but it truly has ramped up.

Yes

Already, we're seeing students in creative fields who don't distinguish between *thinking* about an idea and *generating a prompt* to ask a machine to think for them, because they had a moment of indecision and wanted an instant solution. They can't see how the generated idea *isn't their own*

I just ate too many leftovers. Laker game + chocolate cake and vanilla icecream on tap. We had the greatest family nap ever earlier

This whole thing is racist, but take particular note of the threat of denaturalization. That's stripping people of their citizenship, and that's the road to mass murder and atrocity.

My goodness, Baldwin could had written this last week.

Time to build a proper appetite to address these leftovers

Starting my morning with this!

"a single person of this demographic may have committed a crime, therefore we must punish the entire demographic" is a policy response you may recognize from fascist governments dedicated to ethnic cleansing elsewhere.

About 12 hours of podcasts dropped over night. Turn up

Calling ICE on your immigrant partner so you can steal the child you two created together is a vestige of chattel slavery and what it did to how USians understand ‘family.’

People are struggling. I want us to think about how we're going to help each other hang in there this winter. How are you going to support your friends, co-strugglers, and community as they push through this moment? How can you help people muddle through, materially and/or emotionally?

Grading done, proposal submitted... I locked the fuck in yall

One class to teach then I get to fully slide into Black Man Holiday Mode

The Gaza protests not only “provoked intense political conflict.” Liberal and Dem leaders are still calling them antisemites for caring about liberal principles like human rights and international law…and they expect these same kids to come defend liberal democracy!

The subtext in JD Vance asking for "patience" on the economy: When leaders stop talking about current conditions and jump straight to rosy forecasts, they’re signaling the present isn’t defensible. That’s your cue to scrutinize the numbers, not just the narrative.

YES. Especially the White male variety

@davidbix.bsky.social @kriszellner.bsky.social I am 1 hour 39 minutes into this week's episode and this is perhaps the greatest TNA section in the history of the pod

If you have a certain level of success and are still on Nazistack I'm going to assume you're a liar or just don't really have morals

How about you keep the discount and get off Substack?

Ultimates #18.... One of the best issues of comics I've ever read. The biggest compliment I can give @denizcamp.bsky.social is simply that he understands the moment

Not a doctor but I'm going to say a guy THROWING UP ON THE SIDELINE and then going back in the game is probably not a good look for a supposed "concussion protocol".

I will use this thread to document my Thanksgiving cooking/enjoyment this year. I am personally responsible this year for the ham(s), salmon, brocolli casserole, and the MVP: the gravy. Me and my wife are tag teaming garlic mashed potatos, cheddar mashed potatos, and mac and cheese.

Yes. But also race

People are always like real job stability is in medicine or the law, but the most secure job is actually white guy writes op-eds about how he’s sick of the minorities.

Do not steal books, I beg. Borrow from a library. Libraries lend e-books!

Me buying all of the comics centered on Black and Indigenous characters

Adding to my pull-list

I'm trying to decide if over Winter break I am going to upgrade to the PS5 Pro and dig in on Elden Ring and Digimon, OR it I am going to try to get the Analogue 3D and get retro with it

Classes this week are the ultimate "I'm just here so I don't get fined

Good thing you're wasting time voting for "anti-socialism" resolutions like a god damn mark

It's not just "consumer smart" it reduces environmental waste, key materials are often mined in slave conditions. The whole tenor of the article is wrong - why is the economy so dependent on us engaging in mass waste?

I don't understand how anyone can watch how blatantly Grok is manipulated to answer the way ownership desires it to and then act like the other LLM chatbots couldn't possibly be similarly but less obviously compromised to produce responses in whatever way corporate interests and priorities dictate.

@dennycarter.bsky.social Of the 8 qb's playing in this late window, Shadeur is having the ____ best game?

There are 8 qbs playing right now, Shadeur is probably having the 2nd or 3rd best game out of all of them right now

The quarterbck play in these late games is making me ill

Let's go

answer is great but also it's telling that the guy who's been saying this since day 1 has to answer about whether he's an antisemite for 5 min every interview while the same people grin vacantly at the jewish space lasers lady and call her a brave warrior

Do we need to explain the Black American perspective on major holidays to Bluesky? I'm about to start posting about Thanksgiving but if someone accuses me of endorsing genocide I will absolutely lose my shit

Google knows they're deadass wrong for breaking Gmail like this

Oh my fucking God i just realized the Niners play against the Panthers this week and I'm playing against my brother in-law who has...... CMC

Yep, one of the biggest drivers of the elite panic around “wokeness” was the increasing prominence of Black people and particularly Black women in their fields and we’re seeing that coalition rewarded with the targeting of Black workers.

I'm really watching a Feast or Fired match right now...

Remembering why I don't nap smh

There will never be a leftist Tea Party because billionaires and racism will never have the same roles on the left that they do on the right. The idea that massive primary challenges have to be "crazy" is a false dichotomy

At the local doughnut shop there was an elderly White couple with paper notes walking through the Trump-Epstein connections. I know how this sounds but it really happened lol

Yup I told my guy at the LCS this past week that I'm out on the event, and I don't feel like I'm missing anything at all
