It's takeover of all institutions by one ideological group that controls the whole government. So, dictatorship. Except that ideological group is opposed to virtually everything within the university.

The Open Society and Its Enemies described this in 1945. :(

when i'm general secretary and order the purge of journalists, it'll be for their incessant skepticism over basic shit like "giving people money helps them under capitalism" while absolutely fellating nonsense such as this well, that and their love of fascists, basically

I’m one of the first to argue for the uselessness of Dems at the federal level and it’s important to acknowledge that there are Dems out there fighting and we’re not seeing it because the billionaire owned media outlets don’t want us to know

What a fantastic story. With 3D printing becoming easier to access via libraries and schools, more people will think about printing assistive devices

me: dems weaponize institutions against the mentally ill too random internet lib: wow way to axe grind against dems we need to be united This is the society we have built. We're not allowed to be JUSTIFIABLY mad at those that HURT US.

My dreams are super weird since my last psychotic episode. Either semi lucid or just full blown alternate realities. It's better than the trauma ones I used to get but still disorienting whenever I'm awake again. I just don't feel fully real right now. Doesn't help the world feels surreal either.

🧵 Wasn't Gareth Interzone run off this website for pointing out these issues? Wish I'd made note of the magazines he pointed out with genAI covers and the like... Honestly, I can't respect anyone using AI for any part of their creative workflows, productions, etc.

What the fuck does "we've been transparent" mean? Bee and I and others are "transparent" about being non-white and from the third world, but white people frequently deracialize us in disagreements, to accord us privilege and silence us despite our transparency! This is, ironically, beyond the pale.

This is simultaneously not an especially radical theological belief and, politically speaking (especially in the U.S. context), quite a thing for Pope Leo to say. www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/266859/...

This is a bellwether and critically important given that every ‘Gender Critical’ bigot will be responding, even those who have no intention of ever using the swimming ponds. Please plan your replies and engage the Consultation. A key point - the majority of current members SUPPORT trans inclusion.

I can't believe somebody actually got paid to write this article with that headline. It's absurd how cushy the worst people get to be.

When I read your posts

Turns out they're adding neopronouns to the next Mortal Kombat. FINISH XER FINISH FAE and the like. Sub-Zero is a she/they penguin-kin, and Baraka has no pronouns, only "Baraka".

You know what would be cool? If you're saying your event, magazine, etc is for "all women," maybe include "cisgender" in your list of what that includes. Otherwise you're reinforcing the reactionary notion that cis woman are the norm and the rest of us are being included as a special consideration.

Front page of The Oz today — no one should take this racist rag seriously. The only thing controversial about the relevant minister greeting refugees, who have all been subject to extreme vetting, is that they are Palestinian. Burke hitting back is hardly playing the “race card”.

I think the real impact of a post Epstein era will be how the wealthy have been explicitly told they are above criminal prosecution. Their freedom from consequence cemented into the bedrock of American society

Re Andrew Hastie Since the creeps at Melbourne University are shutting down Meanjin, I am bringing my essay out from the paywall. It’s on how “Christian” is being used to bring together a ratty coalition against “woke” , here at ARC, Hastie on that Board. #auspol www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/l6oxr...

Just clicked into this on mobile to see how it played and it is incredibly smooth, and just kind of lovely?

Netanyahu openly declaring an information war on Americans and its so dim in the America First camps that zero alarm bells are ringing.

White people can commit serious misconduct at work and will be given a gentle repremand if there's even the mildest mitigating factor. Palestinians who've had mulitple relatives killed can say "I hate the state that killed my family" outside of work and HR departments go berserk.

The idea of the 'Protestant Work Ethic' is one of the greatest singular meme viruses to infect society. Work for its own sake is the ideology of a forced labor camp; Not a virtue.

I never want anybody to forget that these people spend a decade using "free speech" as the thin end of the wedge to completely destroy free speech. People saw it coming, and said so, and were ignored.

"I get tired of my body. I start to send it outside. I start to send it outside without me. One night it goes out and doesn’t come back." Read 'I Don’t Mind' by Josie Levin in our latest issue: inner-worlds.ghost.io/i-dont-mind-... #WeirdFiction #Fabulism #FlashFiction

A cautionary tale for both journalists and the consumers of news in this, our brave new world.

you have been visited by the Skink of Spring. say "thank you, lil skinker" to have a bountiful Spring

When digital ID is required to access services (eg the NHS, or legal representation, or obtaining a bank account, or renting a flat), and yours has been set to "nope" because the government of the day decides it doesn't like people of Your Sort, what will you be able to do about it? Nothing.

do you ever stop to think how we had achieved utopic level search engine where you could legit ask anything and worked perfectly and we gave it up to a robot thats wrong 40% of the time

"once upon a time, there was a princess"

Quite aside from everything else, I am 36 years old and 'immigration fears' have been something no party has ever shut up about for as long as I can remember. It's exhausting, especially as any time anyone tries to discuss the (correct) pro-immigration case the media shits itself in rage.

Houston recently participated in the Eastern Indigo Snake Reintroduction Committee’s annual meeting, where he serves as co-chair alongside Robert Hill from Zoo Atlanta. This meeting brings together stakeholders from a variety of organizations to discuss...

"I want to record another ghost" "Okay that's going to be difficult because ghosts don't ex- hold on what do you mean another"

Well, if we’re about the canaries in the fascist coalmine, may I point out that I started my career teaching Indian techies for export and this fucked me up so bad I wrote a novel called Signal Red in 2005 predicting the rise of fascism in India. Here’s the reissue. books2read.com/u/bMyzjV

Concussions are always a serious injury. They are mild traumatic brain injuries for those of you who do not know. Having just finished recovering from one myself, all I can say is concussions are a living nightmare. Donate. Boost. Help however you can.

Hey, australian again. The 24th is normal too.

NMD & online activists were vital. We screamed ourselves raw for years against the onslaught of dole bludger rhetoric on social media, Ministerial hit jobs against victims in legacy media, political gutlessness from Labor who eventually plagiarised the NMD website, apathy from legal services etc.

in response to kamala harris' bullshit.

when the rapture doesn’t occur tomorrow, i want every Christian who is disappointed to know it’s because a transgender witch used blood magic to revoke the apocalypse. the demon she was petitioning responded at 3am with an earthquake btws

People keep "debunking" the claim that Charlie Kirk wanted to stone gay people to death but I'm pretty sure he meant it.

America is literally an insane place. This is insanity. This is the height of un-reason. bsky.app/profile/butt...

Sorry if this disappoints but it's another deeply normal day in Australia.

This is *stunningly* disingenuous, and the fact that Singal continues to enjoy a career writing at the highest levels about a topic that he either unwilling or incapable of discussing honestly is such an indictment of the Anglo-American prestige media.
