If you live in the US don't buy from Snag Tights. I ordered a pair of trousers $98, they do not fit. When it said they shipped from the US, and buyer pays for returns. What was NOT clear is that returns are sent to the UK. shipping will cost me $88. I'm so furious I almost cried.

Precisely. The inability of some on the right to believe that it’s ok to hold your own accountable for their behavior… So telling.

Wow, fuck this guy. Sorry, but it's impossible for students to consent to this, the power differential is insane.

just broke my computer liking this post so hard

Zuko loves to hang out in the bathroom and get loved on before bed.

This it’s astounding to me that more people don’t understand this.

I have been WAITING for a journalist to write this story. I specialize in manuscripts produced in England between 1300 and 1500. If this had occurred in the midst of writing my dissertation or first book, it would have exploded my career.

I think we're at the bubble stage where they're just throwing out claims to see what captures public imagination like "AI can make the fifth dentist ALSO approve of Trident gum."

Rock Hudson was born on this day 100 years ago. He was the epitome of the handsome, seemingly hetero, Hollywood star. AIDS outed him and killed him. He died in 1985, aged 59. His death shocked the world. For many, he was the first person they knew of to die as a result of HIV.

Hard to find a clearer distillation of the gen ai project.

Leading neuroscientists say that ongoing disruptions in federal funding are causing many young scientists in the field to reconsider their career choice — with potentially dire consequences for research into Alzheimer's, autism and other brain disorders. www.npr.org/sections/sho...

when will 'administrators' come out from behind the door?

Some news: tomorrow at 9am, Ted Koppel + CBS Sunday Morning will air a two-part story on the devastating surge of full-time workers being pushed into homelessness. I'll be interviewed along with two families from There Is No Place for Us. It would mean a lot if you'd watch and help spread the word.

WE WON. I am *begging* you to take note of who did this. *Not* UCLA admin—they’re still scuttling around behind closed doors, attempting to appease—but FACULTY AND STAFF, led by AAUP.

This shouldn’t be a red or blue issue. Across Pennsylvania, health care premiums WILL skyrocket if we do not extend the ACA tax credits. House Democrats are working to ensure millions of Americans don’t see a shutdown of their health care. Will House Republicans join us?

Gen AI is a tool that allows people to cheat themselves of growth.

The Republican president is a pedophile who has doubled my healthcare costs and let scores of violent criminals out of jail. But a Democratic mayor-elect wants to make busses free in a city I don't live in. I have never felt more politically homeless.

Seeing all these @nytimes email addresses on the Epstein main threads is really putting that “Did Women Ruin the Workplace” thought piece in an interesting light!

@katherinemontalto.bsky.social I feel that you specifically need to know that the facial hair / beard work in the show Death By Lightening (Netflix) is INSANE, like they really went for it. And yes, this show is about James Garfield and Charles J. Guiteau.

So on Epstein, the Democratic position should be "Trump should resign." If you are a Democratic elected, practice saying "We demand the president's resignation" in front of a mirror as many times as it takes until the dry-heaving that comes from having a phobia about actually doing politics passes.

This so much! Parents (usually mothers) in car-centric areas are forced to chauffeur their kids around. It also means they emphasize predictable, scheduled activities (like sports leagues) that cost money. Youth mobility gives kids freedom, saves money, and reduces the unpaid-labor burden on women

Today is the OFFICIAL publication day for TEXTILE SHAKESPEARE! Please indulge me: I want to say a little (perhaps rather a lot) about it and share my acknowledgements - and a discount code! Appropriately,🧵1/10

I waited a day to say this bc I respected everyone's right to vent some anger, but *remember to focus on what you can do*. Whether it's defending your community, taking action around what you've been venting about, whatever — but don't let all of your energy get captured in the social media space.

Good morning. 1) Have you called your Democratic Senator(s) and demanded that they immediately call for replacing Schumer as Leader? 2) If not, the Senate switchboard is: (202) 224-3121

@fetterman.senate.gov is such a lowlife coward that you can’t even leave a message for him if you call off hour. Luckily I have tomorrow off so I’ll be calling again in the morning. senator if someone on your team is reading this I am demanding you not cave to the republicans.

would be a shame if people called venues the way they did for Jeffries’ book tour

been doing some light reading about the aftermath of the korean dictatorship and I think it's really important that we repeat this to ourselves, to our friends, to our neighbors, to our politicians

@jowrotethis.bsky.social I feel like this is something you should know about.

This is such a delightful twist.

With ICE and other extremist groups trying to claim #Tolkien, this old post still holds up: “Tolkien does not simply give us hope for a better future or strength to endure hardship. Instead, the text [is] a call to action, a challenge...” luke-shelton.com/2021/01/08/r...

If you’re wondering what a “least weasel” is, they absolutely live up to the name. This is the least amount of animal you can have that can still meet the bar for “is weasel”

Three children were killed by lawn darts in the 70’s and they were banned in the US. ChatGPT has caused how many deaths at this point? If corporations are people, why aren’t we holding them criminally liable?

In case you’re somehow unaware Vince Gilligan of Breaking Bad, Better Call Saul, and The X-Files has a brand new original show with a queer woman protagonist and a sci-fi premise and the first two episodes fucking slap. It’s called Pluribus and it’s on Apple TV.

Men will literally destroy the planet to build an AI to create weird images of girls to tell them that they're loved instead of going to therapy.

OVER A MILLION USERS DISCUSS SUICIDE WITH CHATGPT EVERY *WEEK* what the fuck are we DOING here

Managed to do an original #FakeBookTitleFriday entry after all

Richest nation in human history

As Ta-Nehisi Coates said last month: “.. it’s either one of two things: either you’re cowards or you’re with him. And if you’re with him, you never believed in the things you were talking about to begin with.”

Fucking cowards.

A family friend was telling us about what her husband shared about his experience in Broadview before he was deported back to Mexico. She's been sharing to friends and family because she's just in disbelief & horror what her husband told her. She wasn't able to talk to him until he was in Mexico.

I get so exited every time. They’re usually pretty high up sometimes far off, but the white flashes from head and tail are unmistakable.

I live in an Philadelphia, but I’m on the outskirts near the Schuylkill river and Wissahickon park. And just this year, on windy days, it is not uncommon to look to the sky and see a bald eagle swooping around enjoying the wind. Today I saw two when I just happened to look out the bathroom window.
