The value of reading history is you know that in 1860 there were abolitionists who were so demoralized that they thought chattel slavery would be permanent. 5 years later those still alive had lived to see its end.

We don't get a lot of good news these days so you've got to appreciate it when it comes. This is a big deal!

Nah. I did a whole ass doctorate and a postdoc and then became a whole ass MIT scientist without a smartphone. Gadgets aren’t in any way needed for brain power. Virtual Boy smartphone garbage tech won’t help you get smart, it’ll just feed ads directly into you eyeballs.

honestly think they should give John Waters a main star wars film

Sen. Warren Daniel (R–NC, District 46) was caught trading stocks right on the Senate floor. Didn’t even wait for a break. Playing the market on the taxpayers’ time…pure abuse of power.

enshittification | noun | when a digital platform is made worse for users, in order to increase profits

Interesting how 80% of the press corps are stenographers for law enforcement when the subjects are poor and working people but when it comes to the powerful, all of a sudden everything is alleged and also "hard to prove."

@komaniecki.bsky.social I’m teaching a music + society class this semester and want to touch on video game music, a subject I know little about. Any texts or resources you’d recommend for undergrad students?

You have more in common with the average Iranian citizen than you do with the people that run this country

The Minnesota shooter apparently used data broker websites to find the home addresses of the people he shot and murdered. Congress has had years to do something about data brokers and they've sided with the tech lobby over and over again. Their inaction is deadly.

"We’re truly exhausted, please end this war." A displaced Palestinian girl pleads for an end to Israel’s war on Gaza after her father went missing in a bombing and her family was forced to flee again.

This was just posted by @tbretc.bsky.social on another platform. The Chicago Sun-Times obviously gets ChatGPT to write a ‘summer reads’ feature almost entirely made up of real authors but completely fake books. What are we coming to?

Bottom trawling is horribly destructive to coastal ocean ecosystems, and deep-sea mining will do the same to the open ocean. #OceanFilm 🌊

Some great advice on protesting

It will be a beautiful day, probably just a few years from now, when someone says "Spotify, what's that, never heard of it."

Lots of people I know that were furious about kids having to wear masks are real quiet about a two year old citizen being wrongfully deported

It is really bothering me (understatement) that the message is “bring back that one innocent guy” and not “WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK SHUT DOWN THIS WHOLE OPERATION IMMEDIATELY.”

Video shows Palestinian schoolchildren running in fear as Israeli military vehicles storm Al-Fawar refugee camp near Hebron in the occupied West Bank.

🇧🇩 NEWS: Hundreds of thousands marched in Dhaka today in one of the largest pro-Palestine rallies in the world. The crowd, organized by the Palestine Solidarity Movement Bangladesh, filled Suhrawardy Udyan with Palestinian flags, symbolic coffins, and chants condemning Israeli aggression in Gaza.

I’m seeing a lot of posts about how certain immigrants sent to El Salvador are not actually criminals and this is true but I would also like to remind you that people with criminal records shouldn’t be subjected to this, either.

Tear these places down. There are cells in Buffalo too, at the border crossings, reportedly at capacity. The prison in Batavia is notorious for torture via extended solitary confinement. They exist to inflict pain.

At a more basic level, in a democratic society, due process before a neutral fact finder is how we evaluate a conditional statement that begins with “if you <allegation>.” It doesn’t turn on and off depending on the allegation.

Huh, weird

We’re going to annex Canada and invade Greenland but we can’t request return of an innocent man from El Salvador.

Not to be a wide-eyed naïf about such things but... am I right in thinking that they levelled an entire building to get to one guy and *that* is not controversial to anyone in the American media or political class, only that this information was recklessly shared in an unsecured chat?

More likely, Dems will fight against primary challenges like this way harder than they will ever fight against Trump.

Artists feel pressured to make new art too quickly at the moment. Normalise artists fucking disappearing for months. Just walk off into the woods for a year and come back with a single sketch. It’s good for you
