'Bell removed Romeo and Juliet from his syllabus because “in Act III, Romeo and Juliet have sex, and that falls under this very broadly defined sexuality [topics ban].” He also didn’t teach about Joan of Arc this semester.'

What an actual lack of freedom of speech looks like in universities. 3/3

I feel like Dems have been consultant-brain-rotted by Clinton’s famous “Sister Souljah” moment—and feel like they need to include scolding “Sister Souljah” lines in every speech or appearance. You don’t. You can offer a positive message & attack the corruption of the GOP. Your enemies are not Dems.

Re-enchant your life by making the mundane exciting. You're not going to CVS, you are visiting the apothecary to buy potions. You are not running an errand, you are doing a side quest. You are not feeding the birds, you are making an alliance with the crow queen.

Good morning

None of these efforts speak to the need to create the conditions in which people can have the children they want and raise them in a safe, supportive environment.

It’s about controlling women. 4/4

Y’all Didn’t Want That Black Woman To Be President Now Look At Ya… Healthcare Gone, Gas High As The Artemis II, Trading Your First Born For Groceries, You Gettin Shot By ICE, We 2 Tweets Away From World War 3, And Black People STILL Got Joy.

They are counting on racism to carry this argument. They are killing seniors, disabled, and veterans but want you to think its immigrants and "fraud."

A really gross nzi mobile covered in advertising for a company called USA Insulation parked in a parking garage in downtown Pittsburgh. What an absolute loser.

Businesses really are getting better at letting you know ahead of time to never ever use their services.

Happy 80th to Tim Curry

"Some cultures are dysfunctional and regressive," say the white guys deliberately trying to make ours dysfunctional and regressive.

*Palantir execs trying to explain their glorious vision so we’ll invite them inside*

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

the thing about our current moment is that yes, the anti-AI and anti-big tech people are getting very reactive nowadays - but have you seen what they’re *reacting* to?

I'm not joking when I say mRNA technology is more important than "AI" and it's a tragedy we're throwing billions into one while our government is aggressively defunding the other.

Plainly telling his own staff “I will ignore the Constitution to enact revenge on my imagined enemies” sure seems to me like a valid basis for impeachment proceedings for a life-term judge in the highest court.

I’d add that this is also evidence of just how mentally and morally cooked the tech oligarchy is. They used to know this was “inside voice” stuff. Now it’s meant to be the organizing principles of society.

Me, when the hiring manager asks why I’ve been looking for work for 11 months:

I just learned about it from you. I’ve been intentionally unplugged today, though.

If they’re managing him to decrease the possibility of bad things, they’re engaging under abuse. They know he’s not competent but they’re pretending like he is so they can keep their own cushy power-grabs.

this is just a warmed over david duke speech from 1990

Good night to both you and Mean Cat. I hope the evening is restful.

They don’t even understand what a bunion is, do they? Or sagging arches because of jogging culture?

Plus, some of us can’t dance, dude. That shit’s special.

I'm not trying to be a dick here but it's deeply weird when I say something very specific "you should appropriately size your a/c" and "you should do foot exercises" and I get responses that are like "you should get a heat pump" or "take up ballet"

This is an Arby's

Perfect soundtrack.

Hope they’re okay and they don’t have to file bankruptcy because some of y’all hate non-white people and women.

St. Paul is amazing.

This is why I follow you. 💕
