the history will continue until morale improves

"Political violence" is a term that exists to suggest a moral distinction between "violence against politicians" and "violence by politicians" - so that one can be condemned while the other can be normalized. Obviously, no such distinction exists in reality: violence is violence.

Ah, but this isn't the right type of political violence to be concerned about. Sorry

Oh no, the people who were threatening to deport or murder me yesterday on social media are threatening to deport and murder me today.

the only way to revitalize america's economy is to begin building ludicrously impractical atrium hotels again

When people say "We used to drink raw milk from our own cow and it was fine," That's... usually not the case! In families w their own cow, the mom usually boiled it before using. We just forgot bc that's a boring chore that mom did. And who pays attention to that? youtu.be/vKDPast9WFk

I’ve written versions of this before, but as people contemplate the bursting of the AI bubble, they often point to MOOCs as an example—& I do think the MOOC hype is a useful comparison, but *not* because we can talk about MOOCs in the past tense—the hype is past, but MOOCs are very much with us+

These boots are made for walkin And that's just what they'll do One of these days these boots Are gonna function as some boots

You might think from the name that panpsychism is the belief that bread is conscious. And you’d be right.

John Henry Dearle

Earth, I suppose, was the first cyborg. Liquid metal sheathed in stone sheathed in water and flesh. Now, with the canny intelligence of the flesh seeping back into the stones, it gazes out a billion curious and hungering eyes.

Did you ever wonder what was going on in the world of Edvard Munch’s The Scream? Thanks to AI we can finally go beyond the boundaries to discover new secrets! It’s Everybody Loves Raymond star Brad Garrett!

My god, the Borg would have driven cats nuts.

One of those days

Good read on sustainibility of a very particular pedagogical model with lessons for those in the business of teaching DH.

After working hard at it for several years, we sunset @jstor.bsky.social's Constellate platform this month. Amy Kirchhoff writes about lessons learned and the challenges of making this kind of service sustainable: labs.jstor.org/blog/constel...

I often err on the side of being too abrupt at work. But I’m unapologetic about “thanks folks!” + slamming the end meeting button as a completely appropriate way to close out a meeting of mine that has accomplished its purpose.

Shitting on their most popular energizing young talent while trying to win Republican votes is going great

“First, the Research Assistant is built to only answer a specific type of question. While all search tools can be described that way, anyone who’s worked for more than 30 seconds with actual humans knows that they don’t always use things in the way we intend.“ ruthtillman.com/post/summon-...

All famines are man-made, all famines are political. Historians of empire and humanitarianism have known this forever. Gaza is not starving, Gaza is being starved, by Israel, and this starvation is enabled by our government and by every other government that does not step in to force food and aid.

I just now realized that some guys think that fancy predictive text can make new scientific discoveries but that doesn’t even make sense.

This is correct. Any candidate cynically “triangulating” on trans kids is a non-starter, and now is the time to say so. There’s still so much time to advance candidates that DON’T suck.

If you haven’t already, now is a great time to start not supporting Gavin Newsome for president

Diane Duane envisioned a Grand Central filled with wizardly waygates, but I think Fulton St is the only NYC station that convolutes spacetime enough to spawn actual tesseracts.

day 272

did a twitch politics streamer meet one of the highest profile political prisoners of the trump regime before schumer and hakeem could be bothered

People imagine picking up and finding *something better* is an easy solution. But how is that supposed to work, when all your time and energy goes to staying alive? You have almost nothing to set aside to actually fight your way out.

trump should’ve been in handcuffs in jan 2021 and there is no way to quantify just how much human suffering will result from the disastrous decision to slow walk his prosecution or even avoid it altogether

One thing you’ll learn watching Star Trek is that them bitches love remodulating

Fab! It also shows why projects funded by @nehgov.bsky.social matter. + how open source software projects like @omeka.org —designed by and for humanists—make a difference.

Such an incredible undertaking, and just one example of how much we'll lose as cultural and humanities funding is cut to the bone.

BREAKING: Justice Jackson cites the Colored Conventions Project Digital Archive her dissent in Medina v. Planned Parenthood. These public collective digital projects MATTER and they WILL be heard. 👏👏👏 @ccp-org.bsky.social @profgabrielle.bsky.social @jimccasey1.bsky.social

crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and hear the lamentations of their consultants

nope. sorry. i reject it. all of these shows are still gay

I am incensed. This is all so heartbreaking and despicable. The Iranian people do not deserve this violence. We do not deserve this governance. The world does not deserve this. These outrages must end.

AOC: “It is absolutely and clearly grounds for impeachment.”

E.g., the Spanish knew full well they were committing heinous genocide in the Americas. The crown literally appointed what was essentially a human rights monitor, the Protector of the Indians, the first of whom was Fr. Bartolomeo de las Casas. Not that they generally cared, but they knew!

This article is going to turn me into the Joker. Literary style is not a puzzle you solve to get a little information treat 😩😩😩

trans people will always exist (laudatory) trans people will always exist (threatening) trans people will always exist (factual)

The Republican vision for the public lands has long been to see them as wealth-generators rather than what they are: essential spaces for wilderness, wildlife, sportsmen, agriculture, and recreation. The Senate is proposing ideas that have been around GOP politics for the last fifty years.
