Inside you are two wolves who were displaced when Google destroyed their habitat.
Sanho Tree@sanho.bsky.social · 2w agoGoogle’s data center brings wolves. “We had wolves coming into the village because all the wild animals moved out of the forest,” 53-year-old Otanmäki resident Anni Ranta told the Guardian. “They fled.”
The very visible and vocal discussions about sexual assault at Cornell are reviving ugly memories and testing how far recovery has progressed for many people out there, particularly those of you in higher ed. For everyone who's been unwillingly dragged back to a dark place, please take care.

What we’re seeing is part of an unfortunate tradition in American constitutionalism. In my book I argue enslavers deputized their own whiteness to surveil + police enslaved/free Black people. This was a sprawling legal system and early version of the dual state. uncpress.org/978146969484...

Will Jones@willpjones.bsky.social · 3mo ago"In the 1930s, a German Jewish jurist named Ernst Fraenkel developed a model he called the dual state.

Also people arguing this a)Aren’t acknowledging how fast/easily illnesses spread in a school (somehow?) And B) Don’t remember that schools shut down largely to protect families of students. Many kids at my school were raised by elderly grandparents as their primary caretakers who were high risk.
mtsw@mtsw.bsky.social · 3mo agoIt's absolutely insane we've somehow let the Covid recriminations debate become like "why didn't we reopen in person schools before there was a vaccine" and not "why did none of the trump guys go to jail for stealing PPE from New York hospitals in March 2020"
war: good God, yall, what is it good for? absolutely nothing. say it again

I loved the movie and am already making plans to see it again. However, as I’m a messy bitch who lives for the drama, I am LIVING for this review of the film by Emily Wilson. She eats him UP! Hehehe!

There's no serious discussion of climate politics that doesn't begin here and the outcome of the elections in Colombia are a big setback for the world and the possibility of coordinated fossil fuel phaseout

Please blow up the public comment (included below): BREAKING NEWS (7/15) — The administration wants to destroy Chaco Canyon without consulting Tribal Nations. It’s an irreplaceable historic & cultural site with 4,700 archeological sites that could be lost to the bulldozers of oil & gas development
Furious that Chris Nolan would disregard historical accuracy in adapting The Odyssey by making a "movie" with "cameras" instead of memorizing the entire story and then going on a nationwide tour to sing it to us while tripping on ergotized barley
What I'll remember most about Grima Wormtongue is his joie de vivre.
Don’t live your life so that when you die people say “oh I was hoping it’d be the other guy, but I’ll take it”
The Pope has decided that instead of competing against each other, Portugal will play Brazil while Spain plays Mexico.
I keep seeing certain people referred to as birthright citizens because they were born in the US to noncitizen parents, but it is vital to understand that every single person* born in this country is a birthright citizen! *except children of diplomats, who aren't subject to US jurisdiction.
I’d say the hardest thing about being a writer is the writing.
Cape Verde score their first World Cup goal ever and it’s a 30 yard bomb!

Imagine being a kid and learning both your parents were arrested by ICE. You’ll have to pay rent and survive on your own. I shadowed four siblings—US citizens near Mar-a-Lago—as they try to do that. I'll be thinking about their story for a long time 1/x www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
ICE took Mom and Dad. Now the Perez kids are home alone.
Four American siblings left to fend for themselves—and they're not the only ones.
