I met a Christian in Christiansands/ A devil in Helsinki

Then they're not "swing" voters, they're just Republicans

Weird so if there was no weaponization, what exactly is the $ 1.8 billion for?

Every summer I repost this article on how to spot drowning. Please read it and pass on. In the last few years I’ve had SIX messages from people who saved a kid’s life after clicking on the link from my feed. slate.com/technology/2...

ohio's government passed a bill that let adults take your kids out of school to give them "bible education" and surprise! a number of those adults were actually child rapists

Rug cleaning videos. Love the comments section on those too, like that is truly where the internet ends.

Catching up on my podcasts this weekend and happy to hear @nicju.blacksky.app on TBGWT 😆

Massive butterfly swarm becomes the talk of Santa Cruz www.sfgate.com/bayarea/arti...

Anyone who laughed at that book, or bought it, or laughed at Samuel L Jackson reading it aloud, has to do everything in their power to stop the people who want to make this kid's life miserable.

"the go the fuck to sleep baby is a they / them going to Bard, feel old yet???"

Every Robin's nest is the equivalent of taking a truck off the road

The comparison I heard was data centers using the same amount of water as golf courses, and for that I was all, my brother in Christ, let me tell you what I think we should do with golf courses

Mascarpone would be a good name for a villain on a children's show. Does Tiny Chef have enemies?

The repressed conservative ideas courses are so popular that the government has to make students want them.

Need them in Brooklyn

This has always been his play and he’s been doing this for a long time. It goes back to radio days, “buying time.” It sickens me that this is the move CBS makes to get Colbert off the air in their support for this thug ass regime tho. Also I wouldn’t be surprised if Allen votes and rides with them

On a drive in NorCal

RIP #RobBase all of Gen ex can’t remember why we walked into the fucking room but we remember every word of that song

Writers and artists and creatives of all sorts: reply with a link to one of your works, if you'd like. And feel free to tell us about it. Everyone: let's check through the replies and buy some creations and support some human beings.

Nothing is inevitable

Republicans want to make it illegal to believe in climate change, because caring about the continued survival of human beings on Earth is gay

Good evening, Chicago! Excited to celebrate the great work P4T PrEp For Teens is doing

A nice way of honoring Steven Patrick Morrissey, the British singer-songwriter who tragically passed away on September 28, 1987

He had a real funky concept. All the wrong people keep dying, man. I don't know what to think.

Abrego Garcia should apply for compensation from the weaponization fund

What a day for AI resistance resources! 1) The AI Resist List from @karenhao.bsky.social and colleagues at DAIR at airesistlist.org 2) The Luddite Lab from @alexhanna.bsky.social and colleagues at DAIR at labor.dair-institute.org

If you're on Instagram, and you want to see me saying things, do me a solid and follow, so I can go Live

do we think this is how he found out

I started telling my students that Google is trash like three years ago. It's post-trash now. It's the dump where the trash goes.

Rep. Eugene Vindman is doubling down on the forced outing of transgender students and though he says he "disagrees" with defunding schools that support trans people, he voted for it anyway because he really likes the forced outing portion.

HOLY SHIT prosecutors kicked off grand jurors and then re-presented the case against the Broadview 6, then altered the grand jury transcripts to hide it from the judge. www.cbsnews.com/chicago/news...

Oh hey, this is that thing! Maybe tune into PBS on the 26th to catch someone (me!) talking about authors from Pennsylvania, alongside some folks you might recognize!

Me: *does Instagram Live once* I'm in my influencer era Also Me: *gets on my own goodreads Author Page for the first time* #AcademicWriting, people

The times that a trans student has come out to me as a part of their self-discovery are sacred to me at a time when little else is. This is an abominable and unenforceable fascist tactic.

NYT: our college education does almost nothing to develop the sense that what we do in our day-to-day lives resonates with people beyond ourselves. Also NYT: we will never visit or report on CUNY.

Biblically accurate

Berea and Deep Springs are very cool places, but saying that other colleges should do what they do is like saying that Taco Bell should start sourcing their food the way the French Laundry does. It's not scalable unless there is a completely revolutionary transformation in our society.

Boy, it’s funny that every outlet seemed to get the same marching orders to make Colbert’s show ending into an indictment of late night television instead of the actions of Trump, the Ellisons, and the FCC.

*to the tune of Baby Beluga* Breakfast Burrito

It must be emphasized that we need powerful, robust ACADEMIC history IN universities to sustain history OUTSIDE universities. If we can’t employ people in higher ed to train future generations of public historians, we will not have future generations of public historians. 🗃️

On the train home from NYC. I won’t be able to do justice to the beautiful, love-filled program at The Strand tonight but it was very much that and I cannot wait to read @thrasherxy.bsky.social’s new book. Thank you, Steven, for all you do—and biggest congrats! www.harpercollins.com/products/the...
