Our society is so allergic to showing gender non-conformity that even with characters that are known for that non-conformity, there's often a "remedial" confirmation of gender roles in other ways for that character, as if to "make up" for it.

Even if that non-conformity is shown as heroic.

Listen to this. Not a penny more for this. Abolish and prosecute anyone who had anything to do with it.

deploying solar panels over farms increases crop yields by up to 18% by preventing them from getting scorched, meaning huge solar power plants can be built with no harm to natural landscapes

I will eventually shut up about this but Bad Bunny’s use of the power lines is an outstanding example of how to communicate about climate and energy issues. Not about who is the smartest nerd in the room and spewing numbers but about people’s actual lives. Genius.

I'm convinced AI is our generation's radium - a discovery with genuinely useful applications in specific, controlled circumstances that we stupidly put in everything from kid's toys to toothpaste until we realised the harm far too late where future generations will ask if we were out of our minds.

Idea for a new sport: american football but no bodyarmor or tackling. Instead of a field the players navigate a vast warren of underground chambers interconnected by hallways and ductwork, often finding special items that let them backtrack to previously inaccesible areas.

i'm not watching the super bowl atm so i have no context but regarding what i'm seeing on my tl i just want to say that i fully and utterly agree that more anglophones should learn spanish to connect to others around this hemisphere and we should encourage multilingualism for everyone

hard to think of a better example of "you may not believe in class war, but billionaires know they're in one" than this

one of the greatest human triumphs of my lifetime is the relentless, unceasing, heroic effort by DECADES' worth of doctors and scientists to find a cure for a disease much of the world didn't take seriously for years because it predominantly affected a community they thought kinda deserved it

Marimar Martinez, shot by federal agents in Chicago, testifying in Washington today:

They should invent a job where they pay you to burn with righteous incandescent rage

If a university student group had celebrated Charlie Kirk being killed, complete with a graphic made from an actual picture of the killing, the whole lot of them would have been expelled before the ink on the digital story was dry.

I thought for sure this was an old quote. He said this statement this morning.

Men: these are aberrations. Boogeymen. Rarities.

Girls:

I can’t stress this enough. The state of 4th Amendment law is that the cops can’t force you to type in a passcode but they can force you to swipe your finger or present your face. Never stop using passcodes/passwords to unlock your devices. And consider additional code to unlock Signal.

(extraordinarily laudatory)

I’m old and have a lot less at stake than many people. If I get arrested, I won’t lose my pension. If I get shot, I’ll lose 10-20 years of arthritis getting worse and worse. I have no reason not to rouse a little rabble.

Epstein is the most garish and harrowing manifestation of this but oligarchy makes life miserable in a thousand other ways. A core point of democracy is that no one should have so much power that they can make themselves everybody's problem. We should have a political party that believes that

I have a very simple belief system.

Anything that threatens the existence of lesbian joy must be extinguished forever.

How ICE Already Knows Who Minneapolis Protesters Are

A Minnesota woman observing ICE agents in her car was cornered on one-way streets. An agent approached, called her by name—citing facial recognition. Days later, her Global Entry and TSA privileges were revoked, with no explanation.

Video from this morning shows ICE agents deploying tear gas outside a Minneapolis preschool as parents shout, “This is a preschool! There’s kids here!”

The earlier incident started when he stopped his car after observing ICE agents chasing what he described as a family on foot, and began shouting and blowing his whistle, according to a source who asked not to be named out of fear of retribution. Pretti later told the source that five agents tackled him and one leaned on his back – an encounter that left him with a broken rib. The agents quickly released him at the scene. “That day, he thought he was going to die,” said the source.

My gosh. Alex Pretti was notifying neighbors that Trump and Vance's agents were chasing a family. A mob of agents then tackled him and broke his rib.

He thought he was going to die.

Then the very next week, he came back out to support his neighbors.

And a mob of agents killed him.

It Could Happen Any Moment

CHARLES RAFFERTY The Problem with Early Warnings People don't like to leave a party unless the house is actually on fire. Even then, if the flames are far enough away to be pretty, they'll finish their drink, take one more pass at the hors d'oeuvres. How things happen has always been unclear. Hurricanes begin in a place where no one lives. Agents of the government start to wear masks. Fascism is a word my neighbors won't use yet. They are following the law, they say, and the sirens are coming for someone else.

This hit so fucking hard today.

Bovino out is a great indicator. It’s a great start. But none of us can be appeased right now. It’s still abolish ICE. It’s still prosecute these fascists. It’s still destroy the whole apparatus that has been terrorizing and disappearing and murdering our neighbors.

"care" as in the labour of social reproduction & health. the work of looking after each other. communist family abolition in the sense that you should be able to go anywhere and care for others and be cared for, without hierarchies of blood or kinship or nation

this is the succinct argument for family abolition - abolition as "positive supersession i.e. overtake and replace with something better and more fulfilling and achieving the needs & beyond" - by moving beyond privatizing care to the family institution & establishing universal care among all

It's really distressing the extent to which in all of this Silverio Villegas González, the first man to be murdered by ICE in the streets, has been almost completely forgotten

Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

At the end of the day, the Black Lives Matter era was about whether people should be killed in the street, and lots of people decided yeah and put those little blue flags on their cars. It spread to everyone because it stopped for no one.
