God this is so fucking cool

THIS is the kind of cyberpunk future bullshit I actually want

That tune hard. I NEED IT.

But also: a part of me is dying at Beenie Man in this clip. Beenie is undeniably the highest man in that studio. Idris hit him that ‘Wagwan’ and he started loading like MacOS.

This has been fascinating (& for my sanity I have to mute this thread FYI)

My point here was to think about what we’d do with the gift of time/resources explicitly disconnected from “productivity” or “having something to show for it” — but few of us can resist SOME kind of self-improvement.

Education is a basic right according to the UN's 1948 Universal Declaration on Human Rights, Article 28. The purpose of education is to promote the full dev. of self and to strengthen respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms.

Why are Palestinian children being denied their human rights?

I first read this poem as an undergraduate and the second stanza just floored me. Right time right place right between the eyes.

Of course you cannot usually say this in academia when someone asks you that. Thankfully there are other things I can say that are also true, such as that i enjoy learning and education, etc.

let's make a cultural value judgment: palantir are a bunch of execrable fascist shitheads and their ideas go against the basis of every civilized country on earth, from which they should be extirpated like the intellectual cancer they are

stop making whiteness

I think a lot about how Karamazov so fundamentally shaped my English teacher that at 15 (an angry kid sent to military school) he broke down in the middle of a fight & never again struck another.

And then I heard this story at 15, picked up Karamazov & had my own kind of quiet internal revolution.

Nothing so far! We’d really appreciate any boosts, because getting more eyes on this post is the easiest way to get more traction! #MutualAid #TransCrowdfund

S.F. activists display 120-foot 'End U.S. aid to Israel' banner on Twin Peaks Activists said they are "urging an end to U.S. funding for Israel's killing of over 100,000 Palestinians, Lebanese, and Iranians."

San Francisco activists displayed a 120-foot banner reading "End U.S. aid to Israel" on the side of Twin Peaks today.

The banner installation came days after a failed Senate effort to curb U.S. arms sales to Israel.

underrated problem with these machines is that it's impossible to verify or repro issues with them (beyond "here's my exact prompt and context, you try") and every time there's an update sometimes the people using these things lose their minds

Federal judge unloads on ‘unserious’ RFK Jr., says anti-trans policy showed his ‘cruelty’ Judge Mustafa T. Kasubhai vacated the “Kennedy Declaration,” finding it unlawfully attempted to override medical standards and restrict care for transgender youth.

Breaking: HHS’s ban on gender-affirming care is struck down. Rarely have I read a ruling this sharply worded.

“This case is one of a long list of examples of how a leader’s wanton disregard for the rule of law causes very real harm to very real people.”

It’s inaccurate to say Mario is brave and Luigi is cowardly

Luigi is afraid of death, so he runs away from danger. Mario is afraid of living, so he runs towards death. Both brothers are cowards in their own way

It's criminal that the Rohingya genocide has been all but forgotten by the world while this is still happening

Medical students in Gaza restore one of the oldest libraries after it was bombed by the Israeli occupation.

I've been in this field for so long it took me a second to understand why they couldn't stop laughing when I said to a student with a completely blank tone "we need to ream out this hole and rethread it, the nipple on the petcock won't fit because it got damaged by the nearby sloppy butt weld"
