So according to this “doctor” God only put us here to work so we can “be productive” and make money for the already wealthy. WOW, his god sounds like an enslaver

In the end we were just his latest casino and whatnot.

Commoditizing knowledge, reality, and even the perception of truth. Once that happens, those who control it can alter it to fit any agenda, remove those deemed unfit for their society, and create a permanent underclass George Orwell probably couldn’t even imagine a world this bad. But here we are

So, we just want to strip Greenland‘s land of its natural resources for profit? Sounds about right. Perhaps this is why they have no interest in a deal. They actually care about their land and resources. Not everything has to be about money and not everything has to be commoditized

Thanks to everyone who donates blood! Also, as someone who received a number of transfusions throughout my chemotherapy, please also consider donating platelets. Someone's platelets literally saved my life, and your donation could save someone else's life, too.

Male privilege: he had “difficult conversations” while the female reporters got fired

But you were not president. Instead you were a draft dodger who paid to get out of it while our troops died in a different ill-conceived war.

"Luddites" is a good term for those who oppose AI because the Luddites weren't against *all* technology, just forms of technology that they knew would pay workers less and turn out a shittier product

Wikipedia, a site once considered not credible as a source and possibly spreading misinformation, now has higher standards for its content than universities have for students

Great time to check out some great books, including Making Michigan Home which shows how placemaking and civil rights went far beyond just one man named Cesar Chavez @illinoispress.bsky.social #AcademicSky #Latinx #History #EduSky #Chicanx www.press.uillinois.edu/wordpress/ls...

I’m old enough to remember people lambasting Biden for suggesting the economy was actually strong because people weren’t feeling it in their daily lives (compared to other countries the economy was strong) & this idiot is proclaiming how GOOD it is that gas is expensive. Only good for oil companies

And if you are not going to actually do the research, all we will get is the same regurgitated bullshit we have always gotten. Claude is taken what HAS been written not producing new ideas. People who think need to do the work so they can produce new ideas and wayside thinking/looking at things

fuck this so much we are so not prepared for the mountain of dogshit “scholarship” about to flood journals everywhere

Countdown to launch. T-minus 10 days (but your book will arrive before that). #BookSky Unfortunately, this book is all too relevant in our current political moment. Help spread the word. nyupress.org/978147983829...

If Iran has been an imminent threat for 47 years, and therefore must be attacked, wait until he hears about Russia, from Cold War to present (So glad these idiots weren’t in office during the Cold War and many of them were bad enough)

You mean back to the 80s when ketchup was considered a vegetable?

Diversity is what makes us great. It’s our greatest strength. The people currently in power want to divide us with hate just so they can keep power and increase their wealth. That doesn’t make the US better, it just benefits them.

This is vile and racist. There is a long history of comparing Black Americans to apes, insinuating they are less evolved, less intelligent, less human, and more animalistic. That a president would post this is despicable. Any other politician would be immediately done (and deservedly so)

You know Alex Pretti & Renee Good—the 2 white people ICE killed. ICE has also killed Keith Porter, a Black man, Parady La, a Cambodian man, & 5 Latinos—Heber Sanchaz Domínguez, Victor Manuel Diaz, Luis Beltran Yanez-Cruz, Luis Gustavo Nunez Caceres, and Geraldo Lunas Campos. 9 TOTAL. ABOLISH ICE.

Disney's highest grossing film is about falsely demonizing minorities so you can colonize and gentrify.

Happy #NationalMichiganDay to @brettolmsted.bsky.social's MAKING MICHIGAN HOME, an in-depth & innovative new book that spotlights the state’s overlooked Mexicanos & their distinctive experiences in the Midwest www.press.uillinois.edu/books/?id=c0...

Watched Disney’s animated Wish tonight with my kids and couldn’t help but think Trump supporters would’ve cheered for Magnifico If only Asha and the people had just complied, as they should have 🙄, Magnifico could have controlled all the power & controlled their lives #NoKings #Disney #NoFascism

Showed a trailer of Spielberg’s ET to my kids for the first time and couldn’t help but think that MAGA and Trump would cheer for the government to get ET and boo when he went home

We evacuated our kids out of Minneapolis this weekend and my spouse reports that as she drove them out of town she saw "multiple freeway exits where people are being pulled over." It feels like the Twin Cities is being subjugated by a hostile occupying force.

Literally a publication for eight-year olds 40 years ago

Today marks the 90th ann. of the #UAW Sit-Down Strike. From @brettolmsted.bsky.social's MAKING MICHIGAN HOME: "Mexicanos participated in the union’s first major victory during the Strike, their involvement only growing in subsequent years" www.press.uillinois.edu/books/?id=c0...

It’s times like this, when elected “leaders” think they are extra special, I think of Joe Pesci’s great speech from With Honors Pesci: “the president is not an elected king…he’s just a bum” youtu.be/R9hFB9Crxh4?... #WithHonors #NoKings

First: who talks like this? Second: whose inauguration? Third: why would you have a president inaugurated inside where average people cannot attend when they are supposed to be “we the people’s” elected president, not some dictator… …oh wait, that’s his plan

I will not use it at the beach I will not use it when I teach I do not want it in a church I do not want it for research I see no reason to concede I will not use it when I read Although its hype should have no end Upon it I will not depend

I do not like your AI slop I do not like it, make it stop I do not want an AI house I do not want an AI mouse No AI box. No AI fox— That AI slop can go kick rocks I would not AI here or there I would not AI anywhere No AI car, no AI czar Your AI slop is killing trees I do not like it, let me be!

"I want readers to unlearn that Mexicanos are just transient, exploitable migrants, but rather are neighbors that contribute and bring value to their cities, towns, and workplaces." The Q&A for MAKING MICHIGAN HOME is live! www.press.uillinois.edu/wordpress/?p... cc: @brettolmsted.bsky.social

The reality, of course, is that Miller and a significant portion of Trump’s base are the ones who failed to assimilate to America’s post-WWII culture of multi-racial democracy & religious pluralism…and they are now using their power to destroy that once dominant (and still popular) American culture.

Everyone’s new doctor - wholly unqualified but willing to do anything for cheap

So Mullin wants to punish poorer people who are stuck living near a dump or factory that emits toxic pollution because they constantly get sick and can’t afford to move It punishes kids who have no choice where they live People also can’t change their genetics His ideas, like him, is idiotic

Some good news for a change, at least for now apple.news/AQsPYknjGQgO...
