This goes to show, policing as it has existed has always been tyranny's foot in the door. If Democratic mayors could justify unaccountable, undemocratic, secretive state violence in some places, it's a much lower bar to justify it everywhere.

i was like "uk people will call the wildest shit a 'beach'" and my partner was like "there are only two kinds of beaches. ones in california and all the other ones" (guess where he's from)

We also are going to ask FIFA: What WOULD Israel have to do in order to be sanctioned or even banned from international competition if targeting other teams' star players in the course of a genocide is not enough

'Pele of Palestine' killed by Israeli fire in Gaza aid queue | The National Suleiman Al Obaid played for local football clubs as well as Palestinian national team

The IDF shot and killed "The Pele of Palestine", Sulaiman al Obaid, while he waited on line for food. No comment from FIFA. So we've made calls to FIFA. Whatever good that will do, at minimum aren't going to afford them the privilege of looking away. www.thenationalnews.com/news/mena/20...

If I have to explain to you why it's a bad idea to use a machine that makes shit up 15-80% of the time AND destroys the environment AND contributes to rising fascism and genocide AND puts brilliant skillful creatives out of work by stealing their work, then we're already speaking different languages

UCLA’s Unholy Alliance - Boston Review House Republicans accuse student protesters of vicious anti-Semitism, but it is administrators who are courting violence.

This is Robing D.G. Kelley’s remarkable piece in @bostonreview.bsky.social of what actually happened at the encampment.

I really don’t get why the democrats vote yes on _any_ part of Trump’s agenda. Like just vote no on everything and everyone! It’s pretty easy

In Anti-Porn Group's Crusade on NSFW Games, LGBTQ+ Creators Are Being Hit Hardest “Queer art has also long been artificially linked with adultness, by default, by the dominant cishet culture," games journalist Caroline Delbert told Jezebel.

Surreally, I talked with @jezebeldotcom.bsky.social, about QGB and how even a short period without one source of income can affect people really fast.

Rocky Road to Dublin is SO GOOD.

Columbia bought them a ballroom! 💃🏽

Columbia and Brown, by settling, have encouraged this tactic. Authoritarians are emboldened by capitulation, and they won't stop until the cost outweighs the benefits.

So, Columbia paid out $221M so that the Trump administration would resume payments on $400M in existing grants (i.e., signed work contracts) and so that Columbia could compete for future HHS/NIH awards.

Lucy didn't even wait a week before pulling up the football.

The people celebrating this don't want Columbia to be a serious university. They want faculty to be propagandists, and students to passively absorb the orthodoxies that their parents never had the courage to question. They want Columbia to be parochial, insular, and stultifying.

Stop threatening me with a good time.

This is like saying Anne Frank died of Typhus, so were the Nazis really responsible. Utterly vile.

Great selection.

Probably sociology or creative writing.

If we eliminate anything closely related to my major or minor, then first-year calculus or Spanish.

Where is this spot? Have you saved some birria tacos for me?

What perfect album came out when you were sixteen?

"The Hulk Hogan of 2025 embodied all that is wrong with this country. He should be remembered as a living expression of our national decay: a hero exposed as a fraud, a fraud exposed as a coward, and a coward who cried with joy upon finding an authoritarian who told him that his sins were...virtues"
