Goddamn the LA Times for making me like AI. www.latimes.com/business/sto...

We don't ever fucking negotiate on human rights. Trans rights are human rights. Trans youth deserve to grow up and be supported. What this admin did today, and continues to do with the support of both parties, will be a stain on our history and a shame that future generations will judge us for.

Clowns in clown car refuse to say if there are, in fact, clowns inside.

Is the MTA making merch with the F M Swap icon cause they should be

You think tariffs suck, wait until we get hit with sanctions for this shit.

Talk to your kids about the content they consume.

The issue with Gavin Newsome and supporters is that they see the damage/corruption that Trump and co are doing but don't think that these acts are systematically wrong and should be abolished, but that they think these abuses are fine, just that they are controlled and targeting the wrong people.

Yikes!

I need everyone, esp anyone working in education or tech (but really everyone) to WATCH THIS CLIP of @drtanksley.bsky.social discussing the technologies infiltrating our schools & psyches and how she is addressing it with our young people. youtu.be/5mtcSL4S3HQ

One thing I do not miss, as a former professor is the legions of students in intro classes who thought that they could cite the Bible because it is" the greatest book of all time" and would get upset when I pointed out that that was not on the list of approved readings.

Man famous for being both annoying and difficult offers his expert opinion on who he finds annoying and difficult while somehow arguing that Trump is a populist.

I'm in the process of updating a presentation for parents on online safety and good digital habits. If any of you have any resources you have found useful or that you particularly like for parents, for kids, or for anyone please share them in the comments.

This mural has gone up in Kingston, ostensibly for Christmas but AI has ensured it's actually to celebrate the return of our dark lord Cthulhu

From a reddit post discussing ICE moving into Charlotte

Another step closer to Nick Fuentes getting to live out his 'railed by a Hitler clone's fantasy. www.cnn.com/2025/11/13/s...

Some real 'when did you stop beating your partner' energy from the NYT here.

New from me in @newrepublic.com: “Primary Every Democrat.” If the current crop cannot demonstrate they care more about democracy than enjoying three-day weekends, we should flood the zone and challenge them all.

The 'way the Senate works' is that they are all on the same side and just pretend to dislike each other as long as it doesn't make the donors upset or the next cocktail party a bit awkward.

Democrats, coming off a historic national protest against fascism and a country-wide electoral sweep:

See Roblox hate, repost Roblox hate. But seriously parents, you should probably not let your kids use Roblox at all, or at the very least don't let them use it unsupervised.

Normalize calling Cybertruck owners 'dumpster drivers'.

Honest question, has anyone seen any female presenting ICE agents or is it just stupid aggro dudes?

New awareness campaign

Promise?

woof

Good to see that they have taken the years of research on why 'dislike' buttons are kinda sucky and just decided to ignore it.

They hanged the people who got us the 8-hour workday.

If you were to ask right wing extremism scholars where they see the biggest organized RW threats right now 'rural sheriffs' is likely in the top 3. My peers and former colleagues have been talking about this problem since COVID but it doesn't seem to have broken through to the mainstream yet.

Looks like the Democratic party is reviving this banger again

The mother of a teenager who died by suicide is suing Roblox, accusing the company of worrying more about its investors than the children in its audience. 🔗 www.404media.co/lawsuit-accu...

At this point, if you are still defending Democratic leadership and the way they are 'rising' to the current moment I sure as shit hope you're getting paid, otherwise youre an useful idiot simping for a party that is equally as beholden to monied interests, just different ones from MAGA ones.

no kings includes draft kings

Platner's tattoo thing. I can believe that he may not have known what the symbol was when he got it. I taught about extremist groups for years and very few students were familiar with symbols like this. But... Why keep it? Why not disclose and get ahead of it? Why let the oppo hit you with it?

Seeing a lot of people giving the Dems credit for yesterday's protests. Important to note that they were mostly incidental to making yesterday happen. They've been far too busy appeasing their donor class by challenging populist candidates in Michigan and Maine with old ass establishment challengers

Disabled folks feeling guilty for not protesting today: *it is not your fault* that organizers don’t make an effort to make protests accessible and don’t encourage masking And despite what folks on Bluesky would have you believe, there are MANY ways to resist and protests don’t have to be your way

Counterpoint to all the 'just block the govt accounts' is that I've been waiting years to tell DHS to eat a bucket of festering assholes in a setting where some dumb fuck may actually have to read and/or reply. Can't just let an opportunity like that slip on by.

Hey, cool the plagiarism machine that tells people to kill themselves will now have less guardrails, seems like a good thing right?

Hey y'all, you think what's going on in Portland is awesome and funny, do yourself a favor and check out the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence.

Heartbreaking reading, but this Reddit thread gives a sense of the relentlessness of the horror inflicted by ICE, and the damage being done to so many innocent people that doesn't make the news.

New 'School of the Americas' just dropped.

THE RADICAL LEFTISTS HAVE KILLED OUR BUSINESS [also we got bought out by private equity who shuttered the store and fired everyone] BUT IT WAS MOSTLY THE RADICAL LEFTISTS also can we have a federal bailout 🥹

Starting to see some talk from ICE agents/supporters talking about their belief that they are covered against criminal or civil litigation in the he course of their duties similar to cops. A handful are thrilled about it because they see it as local/state/fed govt having to foot the lawsuit bill.

I think my recent favorite sort of 'guy' is the 'what did you say when Clinton/Obama/Biden did it?'. And yeah my dude, a lot of us been out here publicly saying this shit for decades. It's like the idea someone can be consistent in their principles AND not part of either party breaks their brains.

So this @cmnotesandviations.bsky.social account seems like it's mostly cherry picking shit to 'dispute' and is pushing back on criticism of Trump, ICE and MAHA. It's also set up to look legit. Maybe toss them a report so they can stop trying to trick folks.

This Sunday, Sept. 21, I will be presenting twice at Queer Zest Zine Fest, a free online zine fest. At noon (Eastern), I’ll do a one-hour livestream chatting about and reading from my zines. Then, at 4pm, I’ll moderate a panel of zine librarians. Join us live! Link in next post

I guess it makes sense that the AI-ification of news media would start with the business sector. Probably the only workers too stupid to understand a union, and why they've just signed their own pink slips.

Jokes on you rando Bluesky account created just three days ago, I don't have a job you can get me fired from!
