If you ever get the chance, I highly suggest visiting the San Juan islands for a few days.

We need to just start using the .pdf file extension every time we refer to someone in the files. For example: Epstein.pdf, Trump.pdf, Musk.pdf, Ratner.pdf, etc.

Perhaps she mistook the video screen at the gas pump for a movie theater.

Braum’s was the time I remember seeing a β€œBAG OF BURGERS” advertised at any burger joint.

This might be the hardest thing you’ll watch today, and I know that says a lot.

A guy managed to film the outside of the ICE detention center for children in Dilley, Texas and you can clearly hear screaming and crying through the fence:

i don’t care if the victim was unemployed, or a nurse, or a drug dealer.

i don’t care whether they were armed or unarmed, β€œpeaceful” or not.

i do not accept the premise that a state has a right to uphold power over its people through violence, and neither should you.

Few things embody the imbalance in US politics and media better than the juxtaposition of the killing of a famous right-wing bigot prompting prominent 'liberal' politicians and outlets to preemptively eulogize, and the killing of a regular decent person prompting conservatives to gloat.

UT Dallas is Trying to Punish a Student Editor for Editing UT Dallas has consistently been accused of free speech violations in recent years.

UT-Dallas fired the editor of the student paper, then fired the staff when they went on strike to object, then banned their independent newspaper from campus, and now are trying to discipline the former student editor for fact-checking a letter to the editor? Glad @thefireorg.bsky.social is on this.

β€˜Northern Exposure’ actor gave ICE agents in Redmond her tribal ID. They called it β€˜fake,’ she says Indigenous actor Elaine Miles of "Northern Exposure" was detained by ICE at a Redmond bus stop. When she showed them her Tribal ID, they told her it was fake.

Montclair State University has with no reasonable justification replaced all departments in the humanities and social sciences with four non-disciplinary units, seemingly randomly chosen by uni executive leadership with no regard for faculty input or governance. Terrible & portentous

I hope to write about this at more length soon, but here’s a synopsis of my thoughts (from β€œAgainst Technofeudal Education” essay).

I'd be cautious using Disney as a model for critiquing streaming, simply because Disney is a brand with a wide variety of media. Having one service (like streaming) come in at a loss or small profit margin is worth it to advertise the brand as a whole to consumers from early childhood to adulthood.
