They should invent an applying for jobs system that is not soul-crushing. Has anyone tried this

Sounds like the segregationists in Connecticut are having a grand ole time “While waiting for the police to arrive, the old Karen’s friend said, ‘You’re not the minority anymore.'” www.blackenterprise.com/alex-okeefe-...

"the scientific system was never designed for equity. For people whose privilege stems from geography, institutional reputation and inherited networks, the system works perfectly the way it is." Perfectly= expansion for privileged researchers, extraction from historically excluded ones. Yup.

Arrested because a white woman demanded he change the way he was sitting and when he didn’t, she complained to the conductor about his posture. His posture.

All those treaties and pledges meant nothing, when the economic road got even a little bit rough. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

I'm grateful to all the health care systems and insurance companies that are providing COVID vaccines according to science rather than conspiracy theories

It is nothing like war. So far it’s been more like Parks & Rec, TBH.

I guess modern history began in 2017.

everything about this is iconic, from the hair to the shoulder pads to the reveal that she addresses herself as “bitch” to the absolute murder in her eyes in that first shot. that is a woman who homophobes would cross the street to avoid for fear of their life. absolute ally goals

What an incredible painting news.artnet.com/art-world/gu...

How can we convince children that education is important when a large sector of American society, including our president, rejects science, historical evidence, and a basic respect for knowledge and expertise? www.theguardian.com/education/20...

This is a GREAT interview. Definitely worth a listen.

Such a good quote - “What if the question is not ‘Why am I so infrequently the person I really want to be?’ ... but rather "Why do I so infrequently want to be the person I really am?" - Oriah Mountain Dreamer

The only way this could be more suspect would be if Tom Homan was wearing a little Hamburglar mask as the money was handed to him in a sack with $$$ signs on it.

If you are one of the almost 100 Dems who voted to honor the guy who said the Civil Rights Act was a huge mistake, don’t bother asking Black people to vote for you, donate to you or canvass for you next year. Don’t bother. Please. And don’t be shocked if you get a primary opponent.

Seeing the Bill Watterson originals full of pencil lines of stuff that didn’t work, scuffs the eraser didn’t pick up, white out galore and more was something I needed to see to remind myself that nothing is perfect the first go and tweaks need to be made and you’re allowed to try again.

Dear American citizens, whatever you wish more German citizens would have done in 1933, do that now.

“These Gestapo are everyday Germans. They have families, pay taxes, and sit next to us at church every Sunday. These are our neighbors and they deserve to be treated with respect as they collect the Undesirables & bring them to the gas chambers! The hateful rhetoric is inspiring political violence!”

Yes?

just saw a tiktok from a disney adult reading from On Tyranny and asking their followers to cancel their d+ and disney trips omg

“By silencing someone for expressing an opinion he has every right to voice, Disney showed just how far this administration will go to censor people...If a wealthy, white, male celebrity can be forced into silence, what does that mean for the rest of us?" www.glamour.com/story/the-ji...

The lesson of history is that tyrants cannot be appeased. Appeasement only feeds their insatiable hunger for power. Tyrants prey on people who feel unsafe and vulnerable. But without mass submission, a tyrant is powerless.

You guys have to read the termination letter that @washingtonpost.com sent @karenattiah.bsky.social because they essentially accused her of anti-white racism because she mentioned that Charlie Kirk was a white man 😵‍💫 Then they called her a “risk.” 🤡 karenattiah.substack.com/p/why-washin...

Go fash, lose cash

This is amazing.

It may be a bit chilly this morning in Connecticut but I’m still having my Saturday morning coffee on my deck!

Before I was born, my grandfather -- who was a machine shop worker that didn't graduate from high school -- became obsessed with computers. He was convinced they were the future. Because of him, I've had & loved using computers my entire life. And I think the push to live only digitally is TERRIBLE

Whenever I see pieces like “this history professor is teaching videogames in the classroom??? Wow never been done before!!” I want to pull my hair out.

Today, Maryland took additional actions to protect COVID access: - Issued a standing order so vaccines can be administered based on guidance developed by medical professional societies instead of the federal government - Confirmed they have joined the Northeast Public Health Collaborative

I am proud to be born a Muslim. I am proud to be born in Somalia. I am proud to have become an American. None of you can change that no matter how much you rage tweet. Drink some water and touch grass.

There goes the First Amendment.

I think the upshot of everything that has happened this week — many states implementing orders, and the ACIP leaving it up to individual choice and voting against requiring prescriptions — is that COVID vaccines will be more accessible to everyone than has been the case recently. Good news.

Disney/ABC have a responsibility to refuse to participate in corruption. Kimmel must be reinstated. If Disney/ABC agree to this extortion then perhaps creatives + workers should consider collective action to push back. Same w/buying park + cruise tickets if they bow. People have power. Ask Target

As I told @newrepublic.com, "Once last week, twice today, ICE has picked me up and thrown me on the ground. Honestly, it doesn’t compare to what our neighbors who are trapped inside the Broadview processing facility are going through. They’re committing crimes against humanity there."

Liberation must precede peace. Liberation MUST precede peace. Without it, we really only achieve uneasy truce.

This commentary offers a clear, powerful statement of why freedom of speech is at the heart of democracy and must be defended, whether the speaker is Charlie Kirk or Jimmy Kimmel, MAGA supporters or MAGA opponents.

Another way to put it is: they are obsessed with the idea that with enough repression and punishment, they can create their peaceable kingdom--on the corpses of their enemies and the corpse of the US Constitution. Behind that is the fantasy that a wholly homogenous USA can be created....

For comedians around the world, the laughs often end as democracy fades
