Once again, it is *faculty*—not administrators—who brought this case and won. Including UC Faculty Association chapters of the AAUP.

Pete Hegseth's Patton cosplay to all of the generals is a racist, abelist vitriolic piece of misogynistic trash that fetishes violence.

👀 Just Now -- President Trump in the Oval Office said a government shutdown gives his administration the power to cut benefit programs, which include Social Security and Medicare. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

Everyone should be aware of NSPM-7. It is colonialism turned inward. The Black Panther Party experienced this in the 1970's, Muslim communities experienced this after 9/11, and now Trump is using so.ething similar to go after political rivals broadly. www.arnoldporter.com/en/perspecti...

As a reminder: All forms of oppression intersect with capitalism; typically in its service.

My ★★★★ review of Dead of Winter on Letterboxd boxd.it/bclVgD

Oh, I almost forgot my Big Question! Andrew and Allison walk out together on Saturday. What happens next week? How long are they going to stay together? And Claire and Bender? Same question. Anyone who listens, I'd love to hear your thoughts on any of the other stuff we talked about too.

In case you missed it, it's here! 2 hours and 15 minutes of The Breakfast Club and all that 80s culture stuff!

My ★★½ review of One Battle After Another on Letterboxd boxd.it/bb7IqX

We knew this was coming... but, fuck. Lying, twisting the narrative, and the painting the exercising of the first amendment for political opponents as radicalized terrorism... this is how you get away with arresting people for protesting. Stay safe, everyone. www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

Additionally, read all of @jessicavalenti.bsky.social books. They are brilliant and model the proper amount of rage one should have for these topics in their prose. youtube.com/shorts/Mv887...

Happy Birthday @stephfunnylaughter.bsky.social 🎂🥳🎉🎈🎁❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

I would've preferred Kimmel to have taken a moment to mention the firings of others who had spoken out. The people who do not have his status and clout to fight back. I would have liked to see him use his position to elevate the voices of the marginalized.

As the RFK report is looming, I want my fellow neurodivergent neighbor and spectrum stans to remember: 1. He has no medical degree 2. He is a bewilderingly weird dude who, by his own admission, you shouldn't listen to 3. We are being used as scapegoats for harmful policies. We are not the problem.

September's episode of the podcast, Episode 56: The Breakfast Club with @shelleybwoke.bsky.social is edited and out for review. Still on track to be published on or before Sept 30th. Stay tuned. @shelley2woke.bsky.social

As you cancel streaming services, here is a casual reminder that only 16% of Americans read for pleasure anymore, and your local library has hundreds or thousands of books you haven't read. They would love to see you stop by and renew your library card.

The Trump Resistance is recruiting Bush Era Supervillians

Jimmy Kimmel has millions The teachers who got fired ? Don’t The Black women who were put on websites for THE FIRST HALF OF THIS ENTIRE YEAR don’t The immigrants scared to go outside because they are kidnapping them out of cars? But yeah!!!! Now it matters?!?

Wow, again. variety.com/2025/tv/news...

The union representing the musicians from Jimmy Kimmel’s band releases a statement calling the FCC’s pressure on Disney “state censorship.”

Wow. variety.com/2025/tv/news...

After diving deep into internet meme culture this week in an attempt to understand the nihilism fueled intersection of gaming, Incel, and white supremacist subcultures, I feel every inch of this song. youtube.com/shorts/_XFPR...

My ★★½ review of The Long Walk on Letterboxd boxd.it/b3MLxd

The lack of ownership of the content is yet another way we've been conditioned into consumptive compliance by those who would seek to again leech us of our labor/time even when we are supposed to have lieasure. www.newyorker.com/culture/the-...

Media illiteracy rises when journalistic reporting sacrifices accuracy for speed of publication and sensationalism.

Where are my #podcast and #newsletter writers out there. POPCORN DISABILITIES drops in two months and I’d love to talk about it on your project.

I was disappointed. Just an endless loop of action, dramatic pauses, convoluted backstory flashbacks, then returning us to the action. A Shonen staple, but it was just exhausting My ★★ review of Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Infinity Castle on Letterboxd boxd.it/b3aAAT

I started editing September's episode today. Episode 56: The Breakfast Club with @shelley2woke.bsky.social Look for it published on Sept 30th. Stay Tuned.

It's ironic that once the Decree of 1948 was lifted, Paramount is, once again, up to some shenanigans. Unsurprising, but come'on! thesociologistsdojo.blogspot.com/2025/02/cine...
