There is an individual "the most powerful person on the planet" in charge of the USA who wouldn't last five minutes without serious change in any job with a half-decent HR department. Decency should be a core measure of the US premiership. It's futile to point out the nth time, but still...

i know WHY this is but that just makes it even more of a kick in the pants lmao

Can we just cancel #Thanksgiving and call it #SorryGiving? - I'm sorry to the two members of the National Guard. - I'm sorry for the lack of due process involving the assailant. - I'm sorry refugees who will now pay the price the administration unfairly asks. - I'm sorry this is today's #USA.

7. ‘biological male’ or ‘biological female’ are malicious rhetorical constructs that falsely assert that LGBTQ—notably trans—people are an ideological movement rather than an intrinsic identity,” GLAAD’s Guide to Anti-LGBTQ Online Hate and Disinformation explains. glaad.org/biological-m...

1. It would appear that in recent reporting, the BBC is now using the phrase "biological male who identifies as a woman" when they mean to talk about a transgender woman. This is an incredibly demeaning way to talk about transgender women in news pieces. Subscribe to support our journalism.

Is your scientist conscious? Are they muttering incomprehensible sentences? Check the thermometers in their lab and make sure they aren't suffering from nearly fatal mercury poisoning... #NoAI #AI

Hark! There's a planet! We could sail there through the void. There's an animal there like a prairie dog with insufficient hair. Do you want to watch the sunset there?

maybe i am going insane

Hey #digipres folks, over on the #ApplesauceFDC discord, someone's been working through how to archive punch cards (since they've got a large stack of them), and put together a documented #format for #punchcards […]

#FFmpeg version 8.0.1 (“Huffman”) – “a complete, cross-platform solution to record, convert and stream audio and video” – has been released early this morning. #DigiPres #AVpres

ICYMI, our #OhioDIG Insta this week was a #KentStateLibraries take over! Check it out: www.instagram.com/ohiodig/ And Ohio #digitization / #digipres folks, watch for a call soon to do your own take over! #OhioArchivists #DigitalArchives

Release the #Epstein files. #Venezuela #NewYorkTimes #EpsteinFiles #Trump #UnitedStates

📣 Really proud to announce the publication of Reframing Failure in Digital Scholarship, an #OpenAccess collection of essays co-edited with @amsichani.bsky.social and published by @uolpress.bsky.social that examines the role of failure in #DH and research more broadly @sas-news.bsky.social

Two weeks ago I gave a talk at Australian National Uni that included a list of things I would do with an Sands & Mac volume (1910) and .... THIS WAS ONE OF THEM Love this so much

Absolutely. The rhetoric that "these are violent criminal illegal aliens" is likely 1000% resulting in increased *something* on ICE officers. SO STOP THE RHETORIC -- SEND ICE BACK HOME

Few things bug me more than higher ed leaders saying that we lost our mission and lost the trust of the public, when we have actually been the target of a decades-long smear campaign by the right wing that worked. The moment we’re losing our mission is right now, in capitulation.

GitHub being down is getting the same traction as Cloudflare being down... one is backed by definition by a distributed source control system and I don't deny it *may* have been painful to lose the "service", one of those systems gives YOU the tools to avoid it in future. #GitHub #Cloudflare #Git

Jaw dropped. Trump Administration Removes Report on Missing and Murdered Native Americans, Calling It DEI Content

But it's your creepy orange skinned premier tearing down the East Wing of the building and blowing up people in #Venezuela while sitting on the #Epstein files because he knows they will extinguish the embers of his "legitimacy" once and for all...

Watching a gameshow in the #UK HOST: what will you do with the money? GUEST: I can make social welfare a reality and take sensible maternity leave and support my parents in their healtcare. It’s not a labor/con thing. Neither will provide this. We need a new left. It’s grim out there folks.

Trump: there is no list Also Trump: here’s part of the list. Sorry y’all are going through this America but they can’t sustain this. Hopefully the course will be corrected soon. Release the list! #Espstein

I know he’s threatening to sue but #Epstein disappearing from the BBC News front page is unnecessary. Absent on CNN this evening too. Guardian still has it on top.

BBC Question Time tonight… yet more platforming of 30s-era radical right wing “Reform” politics. Planted audience members with non-sensical questions about immigrants versus any other violent man… Please someone put the final nail in the coffin of this wretched show. #BBCQT #QTBBC

Dear Donald — what’s more secure? A private email server? Or Gmail? YMMV Sincerely, Hilary #Epstein

Ah, c'mon. No one wondered. We just wanted it confirmed...

The very idea of digging this far into the recesses of the void that was for two seconds once a soul to /probably/ discover this exists for the first time and then say, yeah, lets remove that... it's about as ghoulish as it gets.

Removing a monument honoring Black US soldiers has nothing to do with DEI. It’s erasure of history and it’s straight-up racism.

I want to live in an apartment at the public library.

Serious question from someone struggling to follow from across the Atlantic. How many dems inc. #Schumer who have "capitulated" are doing so because of the time of year and pressure on them by people who need it? by the same token, how much criticism is from those in more comfortable positions?

The #BBC news is wild. The head of the BBC was sacked for potentially misrepresenting a right wing speech as more right wing than it was. Ironically the BBC is accused of bias which is usually toward the right anyway... so the BBC to correct to the center? I guess we'll see!

To cheer myself up, I'm watching videos of Trump getting booed during the Commanders game

Conventional wisdom tends to be that sports and politics don't mix... but sports almost always shows up... Commanders 🤝 Your Dictator in Chief

Gonna try and convince my boss that the T in my SMART goals for this year stands for Trillion Dollars.

Oh... the #FIFA thing isn't an Onion article?

It’s been a pleasure working with Lex and everyone in the politics vertical at Teen Vogue. I’m heartbroken that my column, Disability Visibility, is gone. Teen Vogue was one of the few places that published disabled journalists regularly. I just spent the last 2 months working on my next column

"Hope is not blind optimism or uncritical belief in a political savior. Hope, to me, means the ability to imagine a better world is possible and then work to build it brick by brick. It is, as @prisonculture.bsky.social says, not an emotion but a discipline—one we must practice every single day."

I thought I wasn't getting paid for my #digipres work because I don't *currently* work in an archive... turns out the existential continuum of my life is probably "some sort of archive"™... and so now I'm doubly sad about that!
