There’s no pretense here of the student even attempting to complete the assignment according to the rubric of the course. How the university can even pretend that any of this is about academic judgement is beyond me. Call it out for the nakedly and calculatedly political act that it is.

Anti-trans demagogue and fifth place swimmer Riley Gaines earned $470,000+ last year from a conservative non-profit. Notably, $420k was incentive-based. A neat little window into the way the transphobic grift is being compensated. I wonder what the per-post rate is?

An advent calendar for every month besides December, where you get a little treat each day because life is hard

That peanut worm is a little too exciting for me you got anything else?

This is quite a telling statement about how the US Holocaust Museum conceives of its mission.

“How can you suddenly dislike art when you find out it’s made by AI?” For the same reason I can dislike art when I find out the employees were overworked and underpaid. Because I care about people. You dipshit.

"It is logically impossible to simultaneously be evil, corrupt, and incompetent" is an absolutely amazing take to have in the year of 2025

You fool Loomis! Your paws can't reach the pedals!

There is a class of establishment media liberals whose primary driving impetus as we descend into fascism is to ensure you know they aren't to blame.

As an actual Religious Studies scholar, it is an insult to our field to describe anything this student wrote about gender as "Bible-based."

UN experts condemn US naval blockade of Venezuela as illegal aggression https://aje.io/d5kzwh

"Santa Shagged Me Missus" has skyrocketed to the top of the UK charts

"RIP to the Heritage Foundation, which functionally died this week, as its most prominent staffers made a beeline for the exit." Good riddance! Boom from @lizdye.bsky.social in @atrupar.com's latest PN. open.substack.com/pub/aaronrup...

if you're shooting jews at a jewish social event in the diaspora, you're not targeting the state of israel, nor are you targeting its policies, nor are you targeting anyone with the power to effect change in israel's policies. you are just targeting jews.

I think it'll finally happen in 2026

A third of Labour voters would be disappointed if their child was gay is a savage indictment of how successive Governments have pushed, or stood by as others have, the Overton window.

This data has made me profoundly sad, this morning.

I’d go so far as to say that most fascists are cartoonishly evil, completely corrupt and bumbling incompetents, and it has been very apparent for forever that this is indeed true of bari weiss

lol yeah that’s fuckin airtight wrap it up everybody no one’s ever been stupid and evil at the same time

He turned right in anticipation of all this shit coming out so he could play victim and whine about cancel culture and find himself among allies, friends, and apologists. Mission accomplished.

Your power bill has tripled and you can't afford new PC parts just to create this.

The UVF is a proscribed organisation, responsible for around 500 murders. Here is the UVF regimental band marching in Belfast on 12 July this year

good grief. hadn't actually seen leonidas cited when i posted, that was just the flavour of it

Supporting LGBT+ rights is political in a way that breaches the civil service code and opposing them is not political in a way that precludes charitable status is a... complex position to hold, although one managed by former LGBA hate group with charitable status trustee Kathleen Stock.

This is an insane situation where a member of a minority explained that a joke was hurtful and ill considered, the mortified artists immediately removed it & apologised and some elements in the media are acting like this is a bad thing.
