As part of this, don't reshelve your library books! Most academic libraries keep track of in house use

The reality: Men do not need to put on a dress and go into a public restroom to abuse women and children. Or cross national borders. They usually just go home. Or don a clerical collar. Or wear a badge. Or run for office. Or play pro sports. Or they just do it in public, wearing pants.

In case you have forgotten who Andy Kim is, he’s the rep who came into the Capitol building after Trump’s J6 goons had trashed it, got down in his hands and knees, and cleaned it up. And ICE have gassed him. They have peppersprayed the true patriot who thinks American ideals are worth defending.

Instead of engaging with me and others about the poor conditions, ICE sent in an armored vehicle and a line of armed agents that only poured gasoline on the fire. Civilians were tackled and restrained, and agents fired pepper balls and spray into the crowd. 2/4

This photo of Andy Kim in the moments before ICE gassed everyone at Delaney Hall is going into the history books. We need more of this from our electeds.

Required reading for anyone who wants to talk ableism and AI (because we can’t talk about both without also talking about eugenics): “Disabling Intelligences: Legacies of Eugenics and How We are Wrong about AI” doi.org/10.1007/978-...

Surround yourself with the kind of people who are proud to have a library card.

Reviewers in two groups were given identical resumes for Emily Clarke and James Clarke and told they had used AI. Emily's was 2x as likely to raise doubts about competence. "She can't even write a CV herself." But James "just needed a bit of help." fortune.com/2026/05/10/i...

a good portion of what people mean by “crime” is “visible homeless people, some of whom are behaving erratically“

On this note: another state (or several of them) should file an original jurisdiction suit against Florida on this basis. The domestic emoluments ban on states paying the president is a federalism safeguard, one state violating it is a real harm to the sovereign interests of every other state.

A day after The Late Show ended, Colbert hosted an episode of public access program Only In Monroe, reviving his 11-year-old gag. How bad is CBS/Paramount taking it? They issued copyright complaints for a show they don't own. 🤣 CBS would hate it if you watch here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=7DlF...

Math was literally considered "women's work" until computers became important.

In fall of 1997, my freshman year of undergrad, I spent HOURS in the computer lab building my own web site, armed only with gumption and a rudimentary grasp of HTML. The longer you spent on the early Web, the more potential you started to see. It is the exact opposite for AI.

The comparison I heard was data centers using the same amount of water as golf courses, and for that I was all, my brother in Christ, let me tell you what I think we should do with golf courses

YOU’RE LISTENING TO SISYPHUS FM, THE HOME OF NON-STOP ROCK

india is currently 11 YEARS behind for eb-3 priority. this means that many “skilled workers” who were eligible to apply for green cards in 2015 are still waiting in the queue, mostly trapped in increasingly restrictive h-type visas. and they’re the lucky ones! this policy is such a disaster.

For the second time we know of, Kash Patel's FBI got a warning about a dangerous Nazi sympathizer (the other is the Evergreen shooter) but did not prevent an attack. This time 3 people were murdered. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/21/u...

We can rebuild them, we have the technology

Love it: the night after he was kicked off of CBS for good, Stephen Colbert hosted a public access show in southeast Michigan.

except i don't use google search anymore

NEW: The tobacco company Reynolds American donated $5M to the Trump-backed super PAC MAGA Inc. on 4/30/2026. 8 days later, the Trump administration rolled out a new policy that could be very lucrative for Reynolds by allowing it to begin selling flavored vapes.

As you read the Democratic "autopsy" report, consider this. "Kamala Harris did not lose the election because of things she said. She lost because of things Donald Trump said she said." www.editorialboard.com/until-theres...

"They leaked his tax returns, they tried to destroy him." If revealing your official tax returns -- something every single president and VP for forty years before Trump did voluntarily -- could possibly "destroy" you, that is the scandal.

"Waste heat from data centers can [raise] air temperatures in downwind neighborhoods by as much as 4[°F] researchers at Arizona State University report in a new study conducted in the Phoenix metro area, the hottest in the US." …Y'all what they fuck are we even doing? techxplore.com/news/2026-05...

Last year I put together a guide to help people get off US tech — and that includes Google. There are a lot of alternatives there they will help you make a plan to pull away from Google services, and all the rest of them too.

Shit like this would define a president's entire term in a previous era. There would be scandal names with -gate attached. I doubt even 2% of Americans will know this is happening by week's end.

Remember: we were never given credit for being right about crypto, we were never given credit for being right about NFTs, we were never given credit for being right about the metaverse and we will never be given credit for being right about AI. Fuck 'em up anyway.

imagine getting back the parts of your attention drawn into wondering “is that legal? can they get away with that?”

Interesting how fascist republicans falsely claimed all Jan 6 terrorists were paid actors, undercover FBI agents and Antifa to pretend it wasn’t MAGA voters but now they’re okay with paying them nearly $2B in stolen taxpayer dollars. Funny how that works.

come on Eileen say it’s just a bad dream did you really eat the plums I saved you in that dress yes, it’s time to confess where’s my breakfast? oh come on Eileen

There's no "study," this is based on a crank manifesto with only four footnotes written by a bunch of health grifters. Why is the Guardian covering this like it has any academic credibility?

Boycott Barnes and Noble. Loudly. Right fucking now. www.independent.co.uk/arts-enterta...

And this is why I keep saying, if you are a woman or someone the law might insist on identifying as a woman and you are married to a man, and he is not *absolutely distraught* about what is happening to your rights, you need to UNBIND YOURSELF FROM THAT MAN WHILE YOU STILL CAN.

so fascinating we can have nice things

Here is Elon Musk bragging about how he "accidentally" canceled all Ebola prevention efforts (DOGE never fully restored the canceled contracts)

People keep saying the internet was a mistake and… it wasn’t. It was beautiful. Social media was a mistake. Commodifying everything was a mistake. The internet was once just… humans making stuff for other humans.

If you've been on the fence about dropping Chrome as your web browser, here's some food for thought. www.techtimes.com/articles/316...

Hey so if you're in the USA, the FCC is floating the idea of making shows put a warning up if they include or discuss trans people and trans lives. A short paragraph saying this is messed up would help a lot! You gpt less than a week. Submit your comment by May 22: www.fcc.gov/ecfs/filings...

I know Bluesky has a ton of artists and creative people. Does anybody have interesting sticker collections for sale? My spouse is a wildlife educator who uses them as motivation and prizes for students of all ages, plus they're just fun to collect.

The president is stealing tax dollars from the public treasury to pay off his criminal cronies.

critically this was the case in 1870 when the 15th amendment was ratified! there is literally no such thing as partisan gerrymandering and manipulation of voting rules in the south outside of the context of “white reactionaries want to neuter black political power”

Wasn’t there a famous man who bragged about barging into a TEEN GIRLS’ locker room?

daaaamn london

so sick of Hollywood ruining the past. if you look at ACTUAL contemporary art of The Odyssey, you would know that ALL of the characters should be orange and they should have their dicks out

"America was not a democracy until we passed the Voting Rights Act" A white oligarchy ruling the South based on disenfranchisement is what MAGA wants to return to - but we all need to say clearly, gutting the VRA is not a partisan attack but an attack on democracy, period.

A reminder that trying to get us all feel like everything is pointless and terrible forever is what they're trying to do to us so we get compliant. They lie. And we're not broken to feel this way. Feel your feelings, then show up to vote with two big middle fingers blazing.

Imagine giving in to Trump *now* of all times, at peak unpopularity

Sadly, yes. It’s a veritable firehose of shit.
