It’s hard to view this as anything less than intentionally murdering a kid because what the hell kind of person restricts water intake for athletes? Especially in the sun during extreme heat? It’s common knowledge that is incredibly INCREDIBLY dangerous

This story should have more attention. ASU's idiot coach brought in some military prick to run a grueling boot camp-style workout in the heat, which included restricting water intake. NHL prospect player suffers a heat stroke and is probably going to die from it. arizonasports.com/ncaa/arizona...

Men who are racialized as a White who study economics, the economy, political economy, capitalism, social class, poverty, and income is also "me-research." But White supremacy as a system renders this fact invisible.

Since its inception the American university (which is yet another colonial bequeath) has made sure that Black, brown and indigenous people stay out. And by out I mean as students, faculty and admin but also out of history, literature, philosophy. 1/3

the Eaton fire was started by Southern California Edison (a utility monopoly) and the Palisades Fire was allegedly the result of arson never underestimate the motivation rich people have for scapegoating and punishing the unhoused for crimes they didn't commit

The only conversation worth having is how Black people are overpoliced & over-punished & held to different standards in all aspects of life. That there is an outrage when Black people transgress that isn’t there when their non-Black counterparts do.

there is no such thing as "age verification." All "age verification" is actually "identity verification." You can coat it in glitter and "privacy-preserving" wrapping paper. But in the end, mandating age verification means mandating surveillance be built into software and hardware. Period.

Xavier Becerra has gone silent since winning the primary for California governor. But here he is with Peter Thiel protégé Garry Tan—Palantir’s employee #10. “Garry’s List” is an AI-generated right-wing news site. Garry is a top Network State figure & tweeted “die slow” at SF city leaders in 2024.

My latest, on how the British/global media hounded Jason Arday to death. “Given the history of white media’s key role in terror against Black people, at what point do we call such actions of journalism outlets digital terror campaigns? “ karenattiah.substack.com/p/jason-arda...

a depressing number of these guys don’t actually have a sexual abuse allegations section on wikipedia despite having these allegations because some fan of evopsych on Wikipedia says “twitter was isn’t a source!!” every time someone tries to add it

Generative AI is the tool and aesthetic of fascism, and that aesthetic only appeals to middle aged divorced sex predators, billionaires, guys who drive cybertrucks, and guys who don't tip. It's the aesthetic of losers, miserable assholes, and guys with a sexual allegations section in their wiki.

Minoritised academics face organised harassment for writing about racism, transphobia, genocide, etc. They/we are subject to forms of hostile exposure (whether in media or politics), which proves the point for why such scholarship is necessary in the first place. They/we all deserve so much better.

Funny to me that there are white professors at elite British universities out here straight up plagerizing and making up data yet they aren’t scrutinized. The idea that he was over-promoted when white ppl have been over-promoted as a standard reeks of racism The differences are astounding

From the Financial Times:
University of Cambridge 
Cambridge professor remains in post despite plagiarism
History academic published an article containing large parts of essays copied from one of his students
Cambridge university professor Dr William O'Reilly. A university disciplinary tribunal ruled the plagiarism was the product of negligent acts but was not deliberate'

The shocking racism of Cambridge University in over-promoting him for their own ends and then throwing him under the bus, just appalling.

I complain a lot about the Asian American media class being the dumbest people in the entire fucking world and like I cannot emphasize enough the extent to which Jay Caspian Kang is one of the smarter of these people Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

the sunscreen thing has been floating around in right-wing wellness spaces for a while so this just means that they are pretty far down that rabbit hole in terms of their media consumption

Please stop paying for anything Harry Potter. This is where your money is going. At this point, you're not an ally, you're an abuser and we're your victim.

JK Rowling says the lawsuits will keep coming - to prevent trans women from using the right restroom.

Golden State Valkyries forward Gabby Williams: “There’s a lot of discourse around trans athletes and what they can compete in. I would welcome a trans athlete on my team or against my team. Anytime. I don’t think it’s a problem in the world, it’s just another way to kind of attack trans people.”

If you're there already, you've already consumed the frame. The point is that they want to remove trans people from public life, and sports has become a major terrain of contention. The point is that they are doing eugenics. They want to kill little trans girls.
