I think a better option would be to outright close down the university, because AI has no relationship to most of its departments. This is not the purpose of the university, just scrap the whole endeavor if you're going to break it irreparably anyway. Let everyone move on.

This image is incredible, down to the gender affirming hairdos and the confusion of biological sex with gender They also show a poor understanding of genetics and how it relates to a spectrum of outcomes in biological sex, which isn't even binary itself Bigotry is dumb as nails lmao

Frankie de la Cretaz@thefrankiedlc.news · 19h ago

This is rough but I think it talks about a lot of what is missing from the Cunningham/WNBA discourse. Namely, that trans people are not hypothetical thought experiments. They are real people who are being genocided by our government & any coverage that doesn't center that reality misses the mark.

I have frankly not had a lot of patience for people outside of Michigan and with no connection to metro Detroit opining on this particular dynamic, and since someone asked I'm going it share it here too if anyone else is interested.

I think this article does a good job at touching on a lot of the particulars of what is a complex topic if you or anyone else wants to better understand it, bearing in mind I don't quite agree with everything expressed (I don't trust myself to do it justice in posts) blac.media/features/bla...

In 1996, Congress imposed fines on undocumented immigrants. For 30 years, the government did not enforce those laws, and they were basically irrelevant. Enter Trump, and the US government is now fining dishwashers and delivery drivers more than rich friends of the President who stole billions.

Max Miller's ex-wife deserves the same support that all DV victims deserve. Hopefully this truly awful situation can also bring attention to how the policies she's supported (including abortion bans/opposing no-fault divorce) can be life-threatening for women in similar situations:

Abdul El Sayed's open-mindedness on the question of how to actually resolve the question of Palestine is one of the best indicators of his overall intelligence and sincerity. Policymakers in DC should adopt a rights-based approach which prioritizes ending the occupation and apartheid systems.

El-Sayed: "I believe in equal rights to peace, dignity, and self-determination, for Palestinians and Jewish Israelis alike... If that’s 2 states, I’m for it. If it’s 1 state, I’m for that. If it’s this 'land for all' model, ... or whatever they decide." www.newyorker.com/news/the-new...

Hey dude the world doesn't exist in a liberal-conservative binary American conservatism is a very particular worldview, it requires assistance of those in charge on social media, academia, and pop culture to occupy space if an idea or viewpoint can't earn space, you have no reason to boost it

Bluesky's new CEO Toni Schneider on the platform's reputation for being a liberal bubble: "Yes, we definitely want that to change. It is already changing. It certainly wasn’t designed to attract one specific group of people."

"The free market and a free people are hallmarks of this country's core values." Taxing to create services and public goods does not undermine either of these things. Calling all taxation and delivering services socialism fundamentally undermines the argument to preserve capitalism.

The WNBA has never had a trans woman play in the league’s 30-year history and now the right and other anti-trans activists are hammering the league over something that has never been an issue, proving once again it isn’t about protection but exhibiting cruelty toward trans people.

The diarrhea lettuce company, Taylor Farms, uses slave labor contracted from the Arizona Dept. of Corrections. The backbreaking labor is often performed by imprisoned Mexican nationals who would be otherwise ineligble to work in the US. They are paid $1.50 an hour.

The lettuce-producing Taylor Farms was linked to the widespread use of prison labor before its involvement in a cyclospora outbreak.
