There isn't a lot of positive guidance for young men these days. We tend to focus more on what we want men NOT to be than what we want them to strive for.

With that in mind, I released a video laying out some of the virtues of a Healthy Masculinity. Hope you enjoy!

Alt text: A Facebook post from the group “Retro Microcomputers, Workstations, Servers and Consoles – Welcome!” shows a news article with a stock photo of a burning computer. The post jokes about an old Macintosh LC475, Quadra 605, or LCIII showing a Windows error. Below it, a New Zealand Herald article headline reads, “YouTube outage hits thousands of users across NZ.” The image underneath shows an old beige desktop computer and CRT monitor engulfed in flames, with a blue screen of death displayed.

Hey New Zealand Herald, they're dragging your ass in the retro microcomputers, workstations, servers and consoles Facebook group

we are hanging on a cross of silicon

for every gigawatt wasted in a data center we illuminate a million homes. for every data center filled with GPUs we could build countless solar arrays. every gallon of water run through a computer is a gallon out of a living thing's mouth

it does not necessarily mean this though, because the dominant way people end up on Wikipedia is through Google, and Google has loaded the top of all of its search results with AI-mediated info taken from Wikipedia. This does not mean consumers prefer it this way, the choice has been made for them

An update to the classic Ben Franklin political cartoon ‘Join or Die’ with the original colonies replaced by universities that were targeted by Trump‘s loyalty oath compact. The image has been updated to show that MIT, Penn, Brown & USC have rejected Trump’s offer.

It looks likely that the US will soon invade Venezuela (so much for the "anti-war" president, hmm?). The only silver lining is that Trump's imperial ambitions may quickly be overstretched with attempted war at home and abroad. As Che Guevara said: "two, three, many Vietnams."

Dad says son was 'traumatised' by Kmart 'graphic' display Tim Doecke says his son was too frightened to open his eyes in Kmart.

Mixed feelings- there's a boundary somewhere sure, but I know from my own generation that the kids who grow up protected from discomfort and fear grow up to be the adults who turn their eyes away from the real horrors of the world, which helps them continue unopposed

my oldest was telling me she and her best friend were writing a book about a vampire that follows them through three different ages: the medieval age, the age of Justin Bieber, and the cyborg age. and I'm like, the age of Justin Bieber? and she was like, yeah, when Justin Bieber was alive

"What if, in the process of trying to ban AI products that quite actually encourage children to kill themselves, we wind up banning chatbots that help children cheat on their homework, diminish their propensity for critical thought, and lead to the development of other forms of AI psychosis?"

#OtD 17 Oct 2005 the highly acclaimed Chinese author and anarchist, Ba Jin died at 100 years old. He wrote prolifically for the radical press, as well as his novels, and suffered repression from the Communist Party government stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/1262...

It’s great to be paid for protesting and everything but let me tell you the whole antifa reimbursement process is just terrible

JD Vance when students write public op-eds criticizing Israel: "Deport them! They don't deserve to be in the US! They're adults and they need to be held responsible!"

JD Vance with thirty-somethings praise Hitler in group chats: "Kids will be kids!"

Generative AI was used to draft this story, based on information provided by federal charging documents. It was reviewed and edited by MassLive.com.

What the fuck?! MassLive is now using generative "AI" to create articles, which would be bad enough in any context but is especially egregious when publishing allegations that someone committed a crime.

When the Nazi group chat ruins your talking points

Penn rejects White House proposal for special funding treatment With the decision, Penn becomes the third university to decline the offer.

🚨🚨🚨

And THREE stood up!

Penn has joined MIT & Brown in rejecting Trump’s loyalty oath compact.

When we join together and fight back, WE WIN!

No amount of federal bribery is worth surrendering the freedom to question, explore, and dissent.

I know antifa are the real fascists and all, of course, but there sure are a lot of secret Nazis popping up on the right. Funnily enough, you don't tend to get many of those among anti-fascists.

Today marks the anniversary of John Brown’s 1859 raid on Harpers Ferry. His attempt to seize the federal armory and spark a slave uprising ended in defeat, but the raid has endured as a symbol of radical resistance.
