"the FAA rolled out an ai air traffic tool, less than a day later the entire nation grounded all air traffic, this was seemingly first reported by grammy nominated music artist Flava Flav on bluesky" was such a compact sensory overload of modern dystopia that I immediately had to call my mom
Easy! They met in rabbinical school & were hevrutot (study partners) & inseparable, devoted best friends, even though, when it came to matters of Jewish law, they disagreed, vociferously, and argued fiercely. Then, at ordination time, a pulpit job opened up that they both really, really wanted.

Really good thread about some of the specific dynamics that play out after sexual assault by aquaintances.
Gwen Snyder is uncivil@gwensnyder.bsky.social · 4d agoThe Cornell texts are fucking with me because the dynamic is *so* familiar. That feeling in the aftermath of wanting to normalize with as many people as possible, to reclaim some sense of belonging and agency. And the dawning realization that this was assault and these are not your friends.
Two years ago Trump won narrowly. American elites immediately folded and rushed to comply as he moved to consolidate power. Regular people stood in the gap. They organized and fought back and protected each other. Tonight belongs to them.
Over 80% of Canadian women & girls have experienced street harassment but bystanders only intervene about 25% of the time. Let's change that reality. Nov 25 is the Int'l Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women & the start of the #16Days campaign Join me: zoom.us/webinar/regi...
Shame! Liberals voted against the NDP bill to protect the right to strike. Even so-called “progressive” Liberals fell in line. The Carney government continues to put the interests of foreign investors over the rights of workers. Here are the receipts:
Everyone is sharing their favorite Picard moments, and I’m fond of “It is possible to commit no mistakes and still lose. That is not a weakness. That is life.”
Every bus I have taken in #yyj this week, even outside of rush hour, has been late and standing room only. @bctransit.com needs to make a deal with @unifor.org asap.

A return to firing squad everywhere might finally end the death penalty. Why? Because people have to be directly involved in executions (not pressing a button) it’s terrifically difficult to get them to do it. Medieval executions had the same problem!
MeidasTouch@meidastouch.com · last mo.Pete Hegseth says Americans will be able to watch a Trump-approved firing-squad execution. If he follows through, the U.S. could join a disturbing club of countries known for public executions—including Iran, Afghanistan, and North Korea.

Helpful thoughts from Dr. Snyder on the 25th anniversary of 9/11: "Do not let terrorists who hold state power tell you how to react to terrorism."
Timothy Snyder@timothysnyder.bsky.social · 2mo agoCommemoration is a chance to reflect. Americans in power will try to use this anniversary to say that everything happened exactly as it had to, and that we should bow our heads rather than use them. We went along twenty-five years ago. We should not do so again. snyder.substack.com/p/helping-th...
