I abjectly hate this, but it's the bitter reality: “We may reach a point where Indian history will be researched properly only outside of India. The real losers here will be Indian nationals.”

ReCalibri They always make us do everything ourselves, anyway

I made a Chrome extension that swaps Times New Roman for Calibri on every site or just .gov. It also had Open Sans and Open Dyslexic, because f**k these people.

I’m waiting for Google’s approval for it to install automatically, but you can download it and install it in 90 seconds. Instructions 👇

I used to get Tom and Ray lunch on Wednesdays

they were a goddamn delight

You can't make me care about AI news. "Oh this happened. Oh now this happened" It's a financial scam that is teetering and you cannot make me care about the little details before it collapses and takes the economy with it

oh this is gorgeous

It’s been observed time and again that many of the composers of what we now consider classics were Jewish. Yep. That one. That one, too. Also that one. You never had to believe in Christmas to see that it was a cultural force that could be used for good or ill.

Truly incredible work, no notes

I know we're way past irony but "tomorrow belongs to me" is one hell of a position for any Jewish person to adopt here

Say you had some restricted funds to use up and you wanted to stock up your museum's research library with books to help you interpret the 19th c US history of interior decorating including textile manufacturing, wood carving, upholstery, embroidery, metalwork, and tilework, what would you get?

24 years old isn’t bad for a publication. Still too young to have died though. To have been killed I should say. We are all so much poorer for its loss and for the loss of alt-weeklies everywhere. Places where old fuck ups who thought they had missed their chance or young hungry idiots with no bylines to speak of could get a start. Not in spite of those things but because of them. People who weren’t yet turned and twisted by working in the normal media. Who hadn’t yet sold out. I know we don’t really say that kind of thing anymore but maybe we should start again.

A new @inthesetimes.com investigation by @ottavias.bsky.social w/ @typeinvestigations.org uncovers Texas “boarding homes” where disabled & elderly people face neglect, abuse & exploitation. As the US faces the largest healthcare cuts in its history, Texas' disastrous system is a warning for us all.

THE WINS IN 2024 WERE ABORTION BALLOT INITIATIVES THEY ARE POPULAR AND PEOPLE VOTE FOR IT. I’m tired of these political strategists focusing on some mythical voter and not actual evidence

State Prisons Are Turning Away Visitors After Scanners Pick Up Their… Guards demanded body scanners to cut down on contraband. Now they’re turning visitors away over their hygiene and medical supplies.

Can't believe we have to say this, but tampons aren't contraband.

And yet in NY state prisons, body scanners (that COs demanded) are picking up menstrual products, leaving people barred from visiting with their incarcerated loved ones.

Reviews.

Reviews are free AND they are a gift to authors that can keep on giving (i.e., exposure, marketing, algo boosts, etc.)

Please, give the gift of reviews to your authors this holiday season. It really can make a difference!

well

that and the rampant Islamophobia

I assume so they can run it through some AI bullshit? 😫

I continue to have no sympathy left for whinging about how the public are rude about AI and feel threatened by it when the biggest players in the AI space have spent years very vocally and constantly *threatening the public*

Undergrad Researchers Find Harvard Owned, Sold Indigenous Land in Maine | News | The Harvard Crimson Scholars have spent years studying Harvard’s colonial-era land holdings in New England. Now, undergraduate research on the University’s ownership of Indigenous land in Maine is helping push the resear...

"an alumnus gifted the land to Harvard in 1678, though the University did not touch the land until a century later. Harvard sold the land in 1780, though members of the Penobscot and Abenaki peoples lived there at the time"

Bluesky may not be great for this yet. But i'm gathering reports/policies from universities, institutions, agencies on verification of #Indigenous membership/citizenship if anyone has any leads. So far, i have (and I'll add as i go): 🧵

So it turns out an ice agent is much more likely to have an arrest record than an immigrant.

2/ First, when Congress has legislated in response to national problems, the Roberts Court has repeatedly either struck it down or interpreted it into a nullity. Congress gave us the Voting Rights Act and its reauthorizations; the Court gave us Shelby County, Brnovich, etc.
