Still trying to understand how Napster got shut down, but Anthropic is going public and still hasn’t paid us authors yet after stealing our work.
Yesterday was the 150th anniversary of the victory over Custer and his army at Little Big Horn. At the Black Hills Pow Wow, indigenous dancers from many nations reenacted the battle. Happy Indigenous Peoples’ Day youtu.be/9erBJ2V0lU0?...

Buffy Spike
Alt: Spike from Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Having been given five words to explain why he’s in the cemetery, counts out the words, “Out. For. A. Walk.” Then after thinking a moment adds a fifth word, “Bitch.”

Been avoiding this but it’s Super Important to have access to knowledge & experience w neurodivergence ASAP. A big source of lifetime torture among people with ADHD roots from inability to contextualize & put into words what we are experiencing both within & from how the outside world responds to us
Janice Turner has no background or training in medicine, neuroscience, psychology or psychiatry.
Bi people don’t need more visibility. Have you seen how we sit in chairs?!
This is exactly the thing. Trans rights are worth defending because trans people are worth defending and, also, simultaneously, at the same time, the very basic statistical truth is that the overwhelming majority of people harmed by mandated & enforced gender norms are not going to be trans.
I hate doing the "a rollback of trans rights is the gateway for a rollback of women's rights" thing because trans rights are human rights in and of themselves, whatever the impact on cis women. But goddamn I wish more cis women had a sense of history and self preservation.
"Fix your hearts or die" could also be an ultimatum bordering on a threat.
"some people are from a different time" if they cannot face the future they should not experience it further
if you aren't cool with trans people I'm not gonna brake when I see you crossing the street. bare minimum position on this particular matter by the way
the experience of COVID really drove this home for me. It wans't the apocalypse, life went on, but a million people died and there were enormous social costs, some of which continue to this day and then when it was done most people were like "let's never think about that again"
Certain kinds of smart people tend to have a "sexy apocalypse" problem when it comes to thinking about risk. E.g. skynet turning everyone in paperclips, while bad, is also *kind of cool and fun* at the same time. Where the reality is that most actual disasters are both stupid and disappointing.
I’m sorry but I absolutely judge you if you send your kids to charter schools instead of MPS. Charters only test better because they get to kick out whatever kids they deem unfit. They’re racist & ableist & classist and worse for children in every way.
This is happening all over the country, as well. Parents want to do what’s best. But these collective decisions add up. My elementary school was demolished after existing for over 100 years, despite the area growing in population. Parents opted out and sent their kids to charters. 🤷🏻♂️
underrated part of El-Sayed’s messaging strategy seems to be shaming journalists who ask dumb questions that play into right-wing frames. you can’t answer these in a way that satisfies them, but you can make it embarrassing enough that you impose a toll on asking.
I thought it was ridiculous that families were charged $8/person to attend a public high school soccer match so I did something about it. 1. Please come cheer on this team! We have a new (young, awesome, BIPOC) coaching staff and the players are a reflection of our beautiful community in Roseville.
I remain convinced that the most effective response to a politician or a pundit who's pushing transphobia is "I'm not sure why you're obsessed with other people's genitals but it's really creepy"
“im not interested in your childrens genitals” is just such an easy thing to say
Kaoly Her wasted so much time, money, and good will to get the result that every expert told her would happen, but at least she got to show everyone who is mayor while inflicting needless pain on our neediest neighbors.
City of St Paul just ran an important experiment proving that other human beings continue to exist even when you do peekaboo hands over your face. www.fox9.com/news/st-paul...
pay living wages for all workers. tax the shit out of billionaires. happy labor day.
This is already what we do with hundreds of other issues. If your dad is a flat earther you don't need to flame him every time you see him. But if you're writing an op-ed for the NYT you shouldn't start with, "flat earthers make some good points..."
Remember that every labor law was written in blood. Thank your local union today (and every day, really)!
the infuriating thing about all of the crises going on right now is that they were completely predictable the second they announced they were gutting food safety monitoring, everyone knew it would lead to a bunch of contamination and recalls! we could have just not done it! it's all so stupid
This summer's food recalls are broader in scope, longer-lasting, and more severe than past years as regulators are slow to respond. The parasite surveillance staff at the CDC, which responds to outbreaks (such as cyclosporiasis), was downsized last year by DOGE from 11 people to three.
good morning ONLY to organized labor
🚨BREAKING: Our union of over 12,000 baristas are officially calling for a Starbucks boycott. Read this statement penned by Starbucks workers on why a boycott from ALL customers, allies, and organizations is necessary to fight back against corporate greed:
It's so weird that Dolly Parton used her money to help ordinary people in a thousand different meaningful ways *and* lived an incredibly happy fulfilled life, almost like there's some sort of connection between the two. Anyway, let me read about another AI CEO poisoning a town for shits and giggles
BREAKING: The union of Starbucks workers is officially calling for a boycott of the chain. @sbworkersunited.org has over 12,000 unionized baristas, and they're calling on customers to stop visiting Starbucks until they get a fair union contract.
