and of course there's the fundamental problem with all digital DRM: at the end of the day, if somehow you win the war and there's no way to break any part of media path from their server to your screen... SOMEONE WILL JUST POINT A CAMERA AT THE SCREEN.

Controversial #StarTrek opinions: The biggest sin of Discovery was not that "it was woke," but that it was painfully centrist and THOUGHT it was woke 1/

Anxiety very bad tonight

Giving students thoughtful, personalized feedback and instruction is not a problem that originates from the difficulty for an instructor to generate feedback, it is a problem that originates from institutions pivoting to student:instructor ratios where that dynamic is not logistically feasible.

It's pretty wild to me that investigators have uncovered that anti-trans campaigns are largely funded by the fossil fuel industry, and that the presumed motivations are pretty directly to redirect the public conversation away from climate change... and that this isn't bigger news.

ChatGPT Edu is built for conning education executives into subsidising and edu-washing planet-burning slop machines via non-consensual access to young people’s creativity AND DATA while attacking their ability to learn. At a university.

Bacially almost all the major black and white characters were born out of homages to minstrelsy. I talk about this in my Character Design classes actually

BBC News captures Doctor Who himself Sylvester McCoy at the Trump protest seemingly unaware of who they're interviewing.

I had a lot of hope for Obama, and the first thing he did was another massive corporate bailout. That was the thing that turned me into a Marxist.

You want to be alive, but they want you dead. We’re a new, well, funded democratic group that thinks you can meet them halfway.

Rarely do you see a clearer admission that they see regular violence such as police violence as "traditional political violence," and therefore as acceptable.

Far right protest today: 29 - police officers injured 9 - protestors arrested Proscribed group protests: 0 - police officers injured 1,600 - protestors arrested We have Keir Starmer and Yvette Cooper to thank for this absurd anomaly

Seems like a good time to keep in mind the difference between “nice” and “kind.” Many deeply unkind people can be very nice. It’s a mask they wear.

“We have a right to know the charges against us, to know who has made the charges and to review them and defend ourselves… But none of that has happened, which is why we’re in Kafka-land… It is an enormous breach of trust.” www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Picard management tip: Tolerate failure, not incompetence. Learn the difference.

Love to combat antisemitism by making lists of disloyal Jews and handing them over to the government.

Shout out to everyone only now learning that "Albert Einstein was reclusive at the end of his career, shunning public engagements." Really meant, "For the last *20 years* of his career, Einstein opposed US racism by only speaking publicly at Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs).

You can apparently complain all you want about Jewish globalist money controlling Hollywood and funding migration, but if you’re pro-Israel, you’re in the tent and not judged antisemitic in the sole way these group thinks matters. I do not ultimately think this is good for the Jews.

The existence of gin & tonic implies the existence of whiskey & dominant

Israel calling an assassination operation during Elul "Judgement Day" and then failing to assassinate any of the targets is, objectively, extremely funny

When every day is an "the emperor has no clothes" moment it's only logical to think there shouldn't be an emperor

Even before this current president, Black folks were disappeared for protesting. Some pf the most high-profile cases occurred when a Black man was president. And that's not even touching on police brutality & the year on year increases in killings committed by police.

This is the most excited I've ever been in my life about salt Plus, the ammonium chloride came from a candy supply company, so I got a free lollipop with my order

What’s shocking is not that it happened again, but that it keeps happening. Every new atrocity should horrify us. Every new atrocity is proof that the system has always been this way. There is no excuse. None.

Really weird thing just happened at the presidential press conference. JD Vance just showed up and said something like, “Trump has fallen! That makes me the new leader!” and then he turned into a jet

Perfect encapsulation of the Trump administration: The guy suing Harvard for alleged antisemitism is a straight-up Hitler-admiring Nazi. www.bostonglobe.com/2025/09/02/m...

This doesn't completely leave you. You just lean into your toolbox... #CPTSD

It doesn't even have to be fascism. France deliberately slowed down industrialization in the 19th century rather than empower workers; the US has refused to build a public health care system despite knowing how wasteful & harmful private HC is, because it might make some rich people less rich.

Imagine writing about the assassination of Andriy Parubiy in Ukraine and not mentioning this

The first large-scale Nazi book burning was on 6 May 1933, when Magnus Hirschfeld's Institut für Sexualwissenschaft in Berlin was attacked by Nazi students. It would take decades for science to recover the knowledge about trans-affirming healthcare that was destroyed that day.
