Media headline and subhead choices are a hobbyhorse of mine because I suspect that's all lots of people read. If all it says is "DeSantis removed," readers might think the guy who gave the pervert a plum public job is some kind of crime fighter. Nope, DeSantis appointed the perv, who was his ally!
unfortunately my order of the special edition of The Wicked and the Warped got switched with someone’s Necromunda box. GW can’t replace it because they’re out of copies. This is a long shot, but if there’s someone out there who’s missing their Necromunda box and got my book instead, let me know 😔
What drives me nuts about so much ed. admin. attitudes re: AI is that they don't seem to recognize that whatever value it might have as a tool now or in the future, it is in direct opposition to the core idea of learning basic skills. And without those, it is worse than useless — it is dangerous.
Leonore (Lee) Carpenter @leecarpenter.bsky.social · yesterdayIn case you are an academic who is currently being gaslit into believing that you're a caveman who wants their students to be jobless if you resist allowing AI in your classrooms... I present to you Berkeley Law's response, which can be summarized as "Fuck off directly into the sun."
This is all because JK Rowling is using her vast wealth and influence to engage in lawfare and censor anything that criticizes her. I won't stand for it. bsky.app/profile/esqu...
Alejandra Caraballo@esqueer.net · 22h agoOne thing I wish people would realize is just how central JK Rowling is to the entire anti-trans ecosystem. Looking at a network node analysis of the top 200 anti-trans X accounts, she is the most central figure spanning both sides of the Atlantic from Republicans to Labour.
I've never seen such an effort to censor a document as I have the Amnesty International report on gender critical groups because of JK Rowling. They removed the report from the Wayback Machine and now I got a DMCA strike on my Google Drive for having it. It was deleted and removed from my account.
This shit is why you can't separate continuing to financially support the Harry Potter IP (whether by buying the games, merch, watching the new TV show when its out) from the consequences of what JK Rowling does with that money She's become so stiflingly powerful that even private docs arent safe

NJ Transit fares went up 3% this year ... again. That's why we're joining the NJ Fair Fares Coalition to advocate for a reduced fare program — low-income New Jerseyans deserve transit they can afford. https://bit.ly/4xbhGw5
NJ Transit low-income riders need fare discounts, advocates say | NJ Spotlight News
By poverty measures, nearly 2 million New Jersey residents would qualify for the 50% reduction that New York City offers

Democrats in array, once again. Nice to see.
Alexander S. Vindman@avindman.bsky.social · 2d agoI still believe in the American Dream, because I've lived it. It's worth fighting for. Rep. Nixon ran a strong campaign. I will be standing by her side in the fight against Ashley Moody. I hope you'll join me.
Natalie Harp is one of the most powerful people alive. I'm not joking or exaggerating. Controlling what information the US president gets and publicly communicating on behalf of the president give someone significant influence over policy of the world's most powerful country, all the way up to war.
GOLIKEHELLMACHINE@golikehellmachine.com · 2d agothink about how often this admin announces policy by social media post and then consider that trump may not even be the one posting it
everyone is missing the boat on this harp thing fwiw. it's not an affair and she is not a nurse. it's way worse: she's elder abusing him. tale as old as time a psychotic weirdo striver has attached herself to an elderly dotard and is wormtonguing him. our american rasputin

In Jersey City asthma rates can be tracked based on neighborhood proximity to a highway, and yet transportation, health, environmental departments, and even environmental groups do not prioritize fighting highway expansions and transportation policies to address air quality. tinyurl.com/7xc2z37y
Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan@london.gov.uk · 2d agoThis stopped me in my tracks. An independent study by @qmul.bsky.social has found that after ULEZ was introduced, children’s lungs grew faster in Central London and have now caught up with children outside of the capital. Incredible.
Semi-regular reminder that ActBlue is the payment processor and it reports donor info to candidates for legal reasons. (No one wants anonymous donors, right?) It's the candidates, campaigns, committees, PACs and intermediary firms that buy and sell emails and cell phone numbers.

just to remind you there's an Incan goddess of potatoes and she's called Axomamma, daughter of the fertility goddess
Odd This Day@oddthisday.bsky.social · last yr.Today, apparently, is National Potato Day in America, so if you’d like an absurdly long thread of root-vegetable-native-to-the-Americas content, you’ve come to the right place. We begin with the potato monument in Biesiekierz, Poland, because, well: look at it. Of course we do
