Hundreds of residents of Watertown, Wisconsin came to see high school students perform “A Mother of a Revolution,” an instrumental piece that honors trans activist Marsha P. Johnson, after the performance had been banned by the city’s conservative school board.

Los Desmemberados is a Puerto Rican legend local to Lagas, where some residents claim to have seen incomplete bodies running along the highway

Telling my kids this is what driving home after having an argument sounded like in the 1980s #synth #80s #classic80s #nostalgia

Last night my wife said she grew up thinking the song "Mellow Yellow" was about the soft drink. I told her I'd always heard that it was about getting high by smoking banana peels. We checked Wikipedia, and...

"There was no order to leave, so people remained in their homes." - Ali Reda Dibbou, relative of an entire family murdered without warning by Israel in Tyre, Lebanon.

Listened to an album of 1990’s country hits and the most immediate thing I noticed was how many different topics mainstream popular country wrote songs about back then and how few topics mainstream popular country musicians sing about today

Redevelopment plans for the former Kenwood Convent site in Albany now include a data center that would draw a large amount of electricity.

Get a glimpse into the workflow inside one of WCKs kitchens in Gaza 🧑‍🍳🍲 (1/2)

this is what I mean when I say "don't let orgs and managers see discriminating against trans folk as the path of last resistance". transphobes are persistent and annoying. be just as annoying. show them compliance is going to be a legal nightmare

This sucks. Even if it was made by humans and not AI, it should not have been published! The prose is awful! Were the editors kicked in the head by a mule?

She had the kind of walking that made benches become men

LinkedIn has always been trash. But now it's almost entirely slop. Corporate executives are paying Filipinos to use AI to ghostwrite posts which these same people then reply to with congratulatory comments. This is the doom loop future internet that oligarchs want everywhere.

Without the pandemic-era PPP loans, I do not think the Jan 6th attack on the US Capitol would have been possible at anything like the scale we saw. Name any prominent Capitol insurrectionist or Jan 6 organizer and there's a good chance they fleeced the PPP program for thousands up to millions.

hard to exaggerate how heroic these men were. they likely saved dozens of children's lives. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

In addition to being dumb as hell *and* weirdly sidestepping the issue of money (those delivery fees are expensive), "DoorDash is an essential service for the oppressed because making food is literally impossible if you're marginalized" is such a thoroughly Caucasian take

it is 2026, we are not doing doordash discourse again

Genuine question: do schools not teach home economics anymore? In my crappy little public school, we all had a year of it, boys and girls, in which we had to practice a bit of sewing and cook some basic food. (iirc I made blueberry pancakes and was very proud of it)

What is wrong with everyone

Try to imagine a Republican Party with a dozen or so staunch abortion advocates. A dozen pro-choice Republicans wrecking every shot at eroding women's autonomy, ruining every anti-choice vote. Can't picture it, can you? Yet we have to accept this kind of Democratic Party, for some reason.

as for the argument i just saw from a supposed leftist calling cooking "feminized labor" and that this justified people not wanting to do it. well. imagine my facial expression right now. none of you know how to change a tire either and thats not feminized labor youre just scared of everything

"all cooking is difficult" is fundamentally an incorrect statement. we cant cede ground on this because it shuts down all discussion. if you dont know how to make a nutritionally acceptable meal in under 40 minutes for less money than doordash it's because YOUR parents fucked up.

NEW — My first true foray into AI haterdom is about how those of us not convinced by AI’s inevitability are a real constituency worthy of a voice. Give it a read:

So sick of it. Use archive ph for access, if you want. Or skip it. Sigh.

Here’s a shocker

It is pretty fuckin noticeable that right-wing media dullards always move to blue cities to fuck them up rather than moving to the red cities they supposedly want.

"All culture is worthy of analysis/investigation" does not mean the same thing as "all culture is equally profound." It is not. Archeologists learn a lot from finding old garbage.

The bigger challenge is we have a handful of sociopaths who can circumvent and undermine democracy. We have no bigger challenge.

In the past 8 hours, Israel murdered 20+ people, including 5+ children, in Deir Qanoun, Lebanon.

Accidentally made Gemini roleplay as a fried egg when I googled a quote from Mixtape.

There was an attack to try to get me fired for being a “pro assassination” professor last fall (someone wildly mischaracterizing my Bluesky posts, resulting in like 200 calls to fire me and having to get the police involved), so to get this student eval about that this term feels a bit poetic.

Unbelievable. I was told this man passionately loves children

This is Calarts. Arguably the best animation school in the US, its alumni include industry legends. The graduating class is booing school president Ravi Ranjan, he's been gutting creative programs and pushing Ai initiatives, corporatizing the school. His secretary is treating graduates like babies.

CALL YOUR REPS NOW! SPREAD THE WORD! HR 2616 was snuck onto the calendar for a vote TOMORROW. This is a pro book banning bill which seeks to ban ALL books by or about trans individuals.

Former Exodus International leader Alan Chambers—the face of the “pray away the gay” movement—was arrested for trying to solicit a 14-year-old. The same conservatives who used him to demonize LGBTQ people will now pretend this somehow proves their point. www.friendlyatheist.com/p/former-ex-...
