Hey! Gender diverse people serve. CAF has done a lot of restructuring to accommodate them. Your language must be changed from "women and men" to "people." Dont help erase trans people from the public.

George: "Uh, yeah. We're going to need to throw all this stuff away and replace it with really bad CGI. Also, I'm gonna need more farting aliens."

media has so much power to normalize things, if we just had more films from the POV of women, boys would absolutely consider that normal I truly think the lack of POV media from women is why so many boys barely think we mentally function as humans today. What else could it even be?

I am so ready for 2016 to be over

This is completely deranged: Iran is required to play games in the US but ISN’T ALLOWED TO STAY IN THE COUNTRY OVERNIGHT. They will instead have to fly back to Mexico. www.bbc.com/sport/footba...

CBS says it had issued copyright notices for a recent episode featuring a surprise appearance by Stephen Colbert on the show “Only in Monroe” per its regular practice, but would stop issuing takedown notices pending further review.

My DMV folks (MD/DC especially) let me know about any local bookstores I should hit up. I already plan on revisiting Mahogany Books again but put me onto to some new ones I may not know about #booksky #DMV #maryland

Canada is literally handing over refugees rejected at border to ICE in the US. Haitian refugee Markens Appolon, for eg, sought refuge but Canada handed him to ICE agents. He is still in ICE detention. There is a seamless connection between Canada's new anti-migrant laws, like C12, and ICE terror.

Fun fact, which maybe the Windsor cop should know: under the HTA it's legal to cross mid-block as long as 1/ you yield right of way 2/ you don't obstruct traffic 3/ you're more than 30 metres from an intersection

"To now be facing the possibility of having to find a new career at this point in my life when the orchestra is operating at the highest level and audiences were previously robust, it all seems so pointless”

I feel like the photographer could have gotten a little closer tbh

It’s like this article was written with me specifically in mind as their target audience. A pilgrimage! On Sardinia! That ends with eating the rarest type of pasta in the world! Like, come on.

No one wants to live next to a noisy computer warehouse and communities across the country are successfully fighting them.

In sum, skip the Atlantic on this one and read Monstrous Regiment, a great standalone Pratchett and a perfect book for right now, because it takes on propaganda, war, gender, and how religious zealots starve nations and ruin everything. Quote me on that, why don’t you.

I stumbled on Terry Pratchett as a teenager working in a library - couldn't figure out why I had to shelve those books constantly, read one, figured it out. Decades later and he holds up great. The watch books pulled me in first, nowadays bopping my way around the witches.

1. Caste. Most people in the west don’t understand that the waves of engineers and doctors who immigrated out of India in the 70s and onwards were ‘high’ caste folks, who resented the Indian equivalent of affirmative action for caste. Caste solidarity is very powerful…/

I for one think bluesky.com is a wonderful website

Handwriting isn’t just “slower typing.” EEG studies show writing by hand recruits broader sensorimotor, visual, memory, and attentional networks than typing the same words. The brain learns through movement too, not only through information. 🧠✍️ #neuroskyence #neuroscience #brain #EEG #words

Having vigorous disagreements is not the only valuable kind of socializing, nor is it the only way to learn anything. Hope this helps.

Anyone yelling that consumers have lost their minds and have no reason to be so pessimistic should first answer these questions. E.g., business leaders themselves constantly say "within the next five years AI is going to obliterate your livelihood." Is it so wrong to worry they might be right?

So...anyone else see this? Robert Harward seems to be wearing some sort of mask. WTF is going on?

He has been saying exactly this since 2017. We just hit $39 trillion. bsky.app/profile/atru...

What’s more, three of these Democrats — Gillen, Gluesenkamp Perez and Vindman — are members of the Congressional Equality Caucus, which advocates for LGBTQ+ rights. I reached out to all eight for comment. www.huffpost.com/entry/8-demo...

The party of “family values” has been swallowed whole by a guy who plays golf all day long but can’t find time for his son’s wedding. www.usatoday.com/story/news/p...

Ballou: Our clients are two January 6 officers who continue to receive threats from rioters and their supporters for speaking out. What we’ve got is a situation where a fund could be used to pay the very people—the rioters, the paramilitary organizations—that are threatening these officers.

follow up: a church in Watertown invited the composer to conduct the piece the school board banned. people lined up down the street. we’re gonna fuckin win.

We should elect a president who is to the left of Richard Nixon and who does not have an extensive paper trail of self-centered nihilism. Something to consider for next time

We're at the stage of capitalism & anti-communism where when the news tries to do sinophobia we just get excited about government mortgage subsidies and that NINE OUT OF EVERY TEN FAMILIES IN CHINA OWN THEIR OWN HOMES

This juxtaposition of headlines perfectly captures how MAGA oligarchic fascism really works. Trump loots our country to enrich himself, while persuading his paramilitary street thug wing that his corruption and self-dealing are in their interests, because they get a cut of the spoils.

1. A Kansas Judge has struck down the anti-trans "experts" the ADF parades. "Cherry-picked information, conjecture, and research taken out of context," ruled Judge Folsom III. He then established 349 facts that support trans care and reversed the Kansas ban. Subscribe to support our journalism.

FWPD: Don't trust your lying eyes or video on social media while we say for days we don't even know why she died, trust the 3 min no audio video of mostly nothing but we did put slowmo on when the old Black lady slaps a white girl who started pushing her while the other white girl lunges at her
