PLEASE SPREAD THE WORD!!

The University of Texas-Austin is beginning a process to eliminate the Black Studies, Latino Studies, and Gender Studies departments in the College of Liberal Arts. This is a grave threat to the educational liberty of students, faculty, staff, and the people of Texas. 1/

I guess it's finally time to check out Guix... So disappointing that NixOS, arguably *the* most interesting project in the Linux space since Linux itself, is heading this way, but not surprising given the state of the world right now. Hope my time will be better spent contributing to Guix (as […]

I think Xe is talking about NixOS, specifically the recent drama with the moderation and steering committee stepping on each others' toes.

I hope it's clear to everyone now that Trump really is going for it - he's trying to become a dictator. I don't know if he'll succeed, but he's working to install himself as an autocrat unaccountable to voters. And he's weaponizing the military against Americans who oppose him as part of that effort

A friendly reminder that Donald Trump, Marc Cernovich, JD Vance, and the majority of the right wing have spent the last few weeks CELEBRATING the extrajudicial murder of civilians.

The right loves violence. These people have glorified killing innocents.

Não sei bem o que dizer. Fomos malucos ao fazer isto acontecer. Foi preciso e continua a ser preciso. Ficou o activismo no sangue, não sai daqui nem eu saio dele. Foram só os primeiros 10 anos.

I don't like the unfortunate implication this has for low-empathy people. Not every person with low empathy is Elon or Trump or some true crime serial killer. What matters most is the actions you take to better other people's lives along with yours instead of leaving others behind.

hey dude.... i'm sure you had good intentions when you were ready to wield the great power you gained to actualize your vision for a better world, but the ominous and foreboding music track was playing instead of your usual character theme. is everything ok ?

Depression is a protective urge; a chemical drive to return you to the safety of your innermost den to wait for a storm to pass, a bone to knit, a wound to heal. Civilization provides eternal psychic wounds from which there is no relief to be found in retreat, a storm which will never blow away.

Establishing the President's Make America Healthy Again Commission By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, it is hereby ordered: Section 1.

This commission statement refers to people with Autism, ADHD, asthma, auto-immune disease, and chronic illness as a “dire threat to the American people and our way of life”.

This is a manifesto against disability.

This is the language of eugenics.

It might hurt my bottom line, but I’m probably going to stop posting art to Twitter entirely and I suggest you do too.

Not only is the site actively putting a “Okay, now remix this” button below art (and elevating them above the OP with a QRT) and it’s false flagging original art as made by AI.
