Happy March 15. Here is my favorite Ides of March meme:

There's a hauntingly beautiful irony in these morons thinking that carefully crafted American hegemony was actually weak and woke, and they would be the ones who would do Power and Dominance properly, and immediately bringing everything crashing down

The reason I want students to have to struggle with difficult texts is because I want them to have the capacity to make meaning in and of the world on their own.

The perception that Trump is old, senile, or incapacitated is actually an assist because he can engage in selective memory loss

This is the stupidest g.d. thing I have read all day.

are you doing your part for VICTORY www.dailykos.com/stories/2026...

There's something deeply obscene and broken about the fact that Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth are bombing elementary schools in an illegal war of aggression, and there's still a sense among the opposition that it has to be explained in terms of gas prices in order to get American voters to care.

THREAD: I got laid off from NYMag/Vulture after 14 years. The family lost 75% of income + medical. Now mzs.press bookstore, once a side project. is do-or-die for Judith & I. I feel weird telling you this because others are doing much worse. But if you could like or share this, we'd be so grateful!

We live in capitalism. Its power seems inescapable. So did the divine right of kings. Any human power can be resisted and changed by human beings. Resistance and change often begin in art, and very often in our art, the art of words.

I am pro Iranian people. I stand with them against their own government’s repression AND against the imperial violence in the form of bombs dropped from the sky from Israel & the US who have already killed hundreds. I support neither imperialism or dictatorship. Sahar Delijani said it best:

Each one of those three missiles costs 33% more than the annual budget of the national park where I work.

This obviously very stupid but is it also smart? We’ll talk to some liars after this break.

powerful academics getting to retire after being linked to a child sex trafficer is not "accountability" or "facing consequences" or "a reckoning" or "justice" it's just them retiring. These institutions continue to beclown themselves. Divest.

There is no sense in which a chatbot can "help" with your schoolwork by making it easier; if it is easier, it is less useful for actual learning (effortful practice is HOW WE LEARN) and therefore the chatbot has not helped, but has only hindered.

And for the record, every Black person who spent the day yesterday imploring white people to understand that white folks are asking the sort of grace from Black people that is NEVER given to us? That shit probably shortened our lives. And I mean that literally. So thanks for that.

The Trump administration is chiefly interested in upholding a white supremacist patriarchal power structure, thus their appeals are to toxic masculinity and what is unfortunately a consistently large base of people who subscribe to it as “natural” and commendable

What you idiot commies don’t understand is that if we tax rich people they will JUST LEAVE, depriving our nation of tax cheats, political bribery, and national acts of perversion

oh word???? no shit????? for real????????

A lot of Republicans who insist that the system is rigged against people like them have a perverse admiration for people in power who take everything they can get. They tell themselves they'd do the same thing if they had the chance.

damn, but that would mean that all the smirking jagoffs who spent the entire election cycle telling us voters wouldn’t care about the administration’s reprehensible support of an obvious genocide were….. wrong??

The utterance of "A.I.'s inevitability" is one of the most stark pure performatives I've seen in my time working in higher ed. Every time it is uttered, it is clearly not reporting a fact about the world but instead actively trying to create the reality it narrates. We can and must refuse.

(sea monster bio) You've probably seen my writhing in The Atlantic

I keep hearing that the Epstein files are so big if we held everyone accountable everything would collapse. And no it wouldn’t. These rich guys don’t do any actual work. They aren’t actually important or useful they are just rich.

Happy anniversary to Democracy Now!

I actually do want a data center in my backyard so bad I want to grow numb to the endless drone of a million electronic beehives I want to get testicular cancer from people I’ll never meet generating shrek porn in their basements

The Onion’s Exclusive Interview With Nicki Minaj https://theonion.com/the-onions-exclusive-interview-with-nicki-minaj/

She wrote a global history of concentration camps. Now she has a warning for her own country. In a better world, Andrea Pitzer would be delivering this warning on 60 Minutes. But you need to listen to how we can stop these systematic atrocities being committed in our name on Next Comes What.

Sometimes I remember Reagan removing Jimmy Carter’s solar panels and I think we’ve been enduring this shit for way too many years.

There’s a sentiment among some locals that eyes on Minnesota are waning. The situation has NOT changed here. Local resistance is tired, but of course never giving up. Please stay plugged into the news of the Minneapolis ICE occupation and donate where able. We need endurance in this moment.

Close the camps.

Schumer: ball’s in your court Republicans: stab the ball, tear it apart, set it on fire, rip up the court and sell the turf to Bahrain Schumer: hey you guys are out of balls Republicans: we’re gonna kill your families Schumer: ok we’ll pass funding for new balls but you’ve GOT to read the rules

The function of consumer-facing "A.i." is to enrich billionaires by deploying faux sci fi woo woo bullshit to normalize crappy, dangerous products that worsen and sometimes even end people's lives. Institute the corporate death sentence for all companies that injure and kill people with this trash.

Jack Duffy attaches a respirator to his bagpipes to play through tear gas. “I always play it whenever the police retreat because it's like, ‘You fucking ran while we stayed,’” he says. The full story: lataco.com/protest-bagp... By Julianne Le

Trump is explicitly named as a rapist with Esptein in the Epstein files. At the very least, there should be a massive investigation into Trump, MAGA Mike, and everyone else involved in this obvious cover-up.

Ultimately right now in video games I feel surrounded by people who are worried, all the time, about long-term unemployment and ensuing social (or actual) death and so if you seem very invested in coming up with fun uses for LLMs in games I find you despicable.
