Marginalized folks know TONE and LANGUAGE CHOICE are only part of what’s being communicated. But those in the power majority are accustomed to spaces that value and demand the faux nicety of polite tones no matter the core message being shared. To them, sounding angry makes you wrong in any event.

"AI" is absolutely and ONLY a marketing term, and at this point if it's being used, the intent behind it is to overpromise to the consumer/end user on the program's actual capabilities. And, of course, none of the "AI" is actually intelligent in any meaningful way.

This is an excellent piece from @georgianndavis.bsky.social on the wave of anti-scientific censorship sweeping the country and what it means to teach honestly in the moment.

To keep her in detention in Texas, the Trump administration pointed to Leqaa Kordia’s remittances to family in Palestine.

I can’t begin to tell you how damaging “the world isn’t fair, get used to it” line has been to every child’s psyche growing up and therefore has led to a world that stays unfair. If we teach children to get used to an unfair world, we are destroying the possibility of a better world.

time to really start dressin

it fundamentally fucks our sense of things that the robot is good at language and bad at math and fact

Absolutely wild amounts of money are being spent to gaslight you into believing the average person's response to being in a room with a nazi is to Ezra Klein it and not this, which is what actually happens in the real world where the Ezra Kleins have never lived

actual events of the video aside, this is a perfect encapsulation of where these nazis stand in society. There's one of them for every several thousand normal people. They know everyone thinks they're weird little freaks, which is why they spend all their time pretending to be mainstream

Love hearing an NPR reporter repeat Vought's line about "unconstitutional DEI principles" with nary a query about what the fuck that actually means. At some point we need journalists to make this administration explain some of these batshit utterances.

The media is going to learn absolutely nothing from this. The next time Democrats are in power, conservatives are just gonna rebrand "political correctness" to something new and we're gonna do it all over again.

We're getting a wave of articles that are like, "gee willikers it sure seems like the people who complained about 'cancel culture' for years really like canceling people." Yes! This was extremely obvious at the time and a lot of us pointed it out!

Today marks the first day in the 55-year history of PBS and 54-year history of NPR that public media has broadcast to its audiences without federal funding. But even though lots of local outlets are at risk, PBS and NPR are still here, providing fair, accurate news coverage and will not be silenced.

They zip tied children.

Hi. Stop letting your kids get Covid, I absolutely beg you as a fully grown adult who can’t believe how little of a life I have after 3 years of LC. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/30/h...

Hey authors, the official list of Anthropic works is available for searching. secure.anthropiccopyrightsettlement.com/lookup

People who coax chatbots into sensible answers are basically opening and closing the fridge until it contains something you wanna eat, yes, eventually you get hungrier & eat the stuff in there. But what changed was your cognition. The fridge stayed the same. You changed your mind about the contents.

We are thrilled to announce that our NEW Large Language Model will be released on 11.18.25.

ER doc here! This is a lie. Wait times are up because the American healthcare system is an unsustainable business model and a for-profit national healthcare system just doesn’t work. These problems will continue to get worse until we change that system. It literally has nothing to do with immigrants

Pope Leo calling out the inconsistencies in the “pro life” movement. Many pro life people don’t care if the baby has support once it’s born. If it has food, medical care or its basic needs met. They support the death penalty and the torture of immigrants. Not pro life. Forced birth.

People think they’re taking down a rich intellectual sinecure but they’re mostly terrorizing committed public servants who make $58,000 a year after 15 years of experience at a school that has to budget creatively so students can access textbooks.

if you aren’t super tuned into COVID news it is unlikely you know just how easily the newest variant spreads. vaccinate. mask. act like it is 2021. or you are probably going to get it. (ask me how i know!)

Chris Rufo did this and was platformed as a legitimate authority on universities by the Chronicle of Higher Education.

This is why we fund scientists to study things like oyster slobber even if you don’t think it sounds important

Dodger bullpen is amazing. That team is like a custom made electric Ferrari that gets 1200 miles on a charge, goes 0-60 in 1.8 seconds, has a 30-speaker stereo that makes it sound like you're at a live concert, and also there's no floor and your feet just drag on the pavement as you drive.

The basic infrastructures that allow women to be participants in public life—birth control & abortion access, no fault divorce, childcare access & affordability, civil rights law in employment and public accommodations, the minimal efforts to mitigate sexual and domestic violence—are all crumbling.

Hillary Clinton referred to SOME Trump supporters as”deplorable,” and the political media had a meltdown. Trump refers to all Democrats as anti-American radical communists and “the enemy within,” and it’s no big deal. His reckless and dangerous demonization has been fully normalized.

Even a passing knowledge of Black history will make clear that not only was this level of destruction possible, it was inevitable. “Did you know they’d shut down US AID?” I mean these are the same people who closed all public schools in a county rather than desegregate. Yes. Yes I did.

This is why you shouldn't shut up about racism in other marginalized communities. Because it is all tied together. You can't dismantle ableism and be racist, they're part of the same system. Same with racist people in the LGBTQ+ community. Your marginalization does NOT absolve you of racism.

THEY CLOSED PUBLIC POOLS RATHER THAN SWIM WITH BLACK PEOPLE YOU ARE DEALING WITH THE SAME GROUP OF PEOPLE AS THE FOLKS WHO DID THIS PLEASE WAKE THE FUCK UP

Between this and what we've seen in Chicago recently, it's not hard to conclude that ICE is deliberately targeting journalists trying to document their abuses

hi, federal judge expert here! this is not funny. conservative, Reagan-appointed district judges only use epistolary framing devices in their opinions when they are in extreme distress.

I hope it's clear to everyone now that Trump really is going for it - he's trying to become a dictator. I don't know if he'll succeed, but he's working to install himself as an autocrat unaccountable to voters. And he's weaponizing the military against Americans who oppose him as part of that effort

reposting this (an excerpt from the district court's opinion in AAUP v. Rubio, a case about the government targeting noncitizen students and faculty for their pro-Palestine advocacy) w alt-text ! storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Donald Trump is a fascist and everyone who warned that the War On Terror was laying the foundations for authoritarianism in the U.S. was absolutely correct.

AAUP chapters brought this suit

Today's court ruling has thoughts on masked ICE agents: "This Court has listened carefully to the reasons given by Öztürk’s captors for masking-up... It rejects this testimony as disingenuous, squalid and dishonorable. ICE goes masked for a single reason -- to terrorize Americans into quiescence."

BOSTON (AP) - Federal judge finds Trump administration unconstitutionally targeted noncitizens for deportation over Gaza war protests.

I don't think there has been a generation before which has been so thoroughly failed by the adults around them at every stage. It's amazing that they still have such moral clarity and initiative. God bless them.

Whenever someone talks about having “traditional values” you should immediately ask them what they mean by that and have them explain in detail what exactly those values are.

Hey, so the Nicole Kidman separation got me thinking about how I acted more like a kid than a man when I was with you…

regular reminder that "he wants" ≠ "he will"

the president of the united states wants to use the american military to kill american citizens on american soil. that's the whole story!

Shitposting on Bluesky is amazing because you will hear from either the funniest cleverest people in the whole world, or people who have never before encountered the concept of humor.

Black people actually did call all of this, so did Indigenous people. White people just thought we were exaggerating because you were fine with the violence toward communities that you thought wouldn't include you. But the thru line from eugenics, bleach, and Ivermectin to here was incredibly clear

Wild that a drunk white dude gets to give an important speech on the importance of being violent and mediocre just because people confuse seeing one minority on the street with the apocalypse

The assertion of technology “rights” and the systematic removal of human rights are part of the same fascist project.

White supremacy. End white supremacy.
