Discworld QOTD, from Feet of Clay

“The Purdue student newspaper owns its own presses” is the sound of engines revving

Political parties must shift immediately and dramatically to the left to avoid alienating these frustrated and abandoned young women. Am I doing this right?

90 FUCKING PERCENT

i’d love for cis folks to remember what the nyt, atlantic, guardian, daily mail, times of london, ny post, cnn, wall street journal, & economist took from your transgender neighbors & loved ones before the next time you consider giving them money or listening to a word they say.

Sara Whitmer • • • 1h • 8 I'm sure many of you have heard by now that earlier this week, IU k*lled the print edition of its student paper, the IDS. The issue that was supposed to print this week contained criticism of the Whitten regime and IUs further slide into scist control, and they couldn't allow that to happen during Homecoming, when all the rich alumni are in town. Enter Purdue! The Purdue student paper, The Exponent, owns its own presses. Yesterday, in an act of tremendous solidarity with their biggest rival school, they printed the forbidden issue of the IDS. They then drove it to Bloomington overnight and stocked all of the IDS boxes on campus, just in time for Homecoming. Solidarity is what makes us stronger, and solidarity will be what ultimately allows us to triumph, if we can ever truly get it together. I hope everyone has a fun, safe day if they're going out today, and I hope we can think about what acts of solidarity we can begin taking to really make this movement MOVE - beyond a permitted expression of upset into more active resistance. 75 12 comments

Purdue to the rescue of IU student newspaper, whose institution was attempting censorship. Details in alt!

For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world.

For imposing taxes on us without our consent.

“Anakin Skywalker and Darth Vader were not the same person…..the appeal of a ridiculous assumption like ‘one family was responsible for decades worth of civil wars’ stems from the need to impose simplicity on complex historical events….”

*strokes chin*

“Instead, we must examine social structures”

Heh, one of the very few times autism is "easy mode"!

not only does Gary Larson still have the juice, it seems to have only gotten stronger

He has dissolved Representative Houses repeatedly, for opposing with manly firmness his invasions on the rights of the people.

"I have a decent fluency in LLMs, and they have utility, but the absurd degree of over-hype, the way they're being forced on everyone, and the insistence on ignoring the many valid critiques about them make it very difficult to focus on legitimate uses where they might add value."

Sooooooo we’re all pretty sure these comments were surfaced by the Dem establishment right?

Free Press Reporter Discovers That Being An Amoral Dickhead Can Cost You Friends | Defector It can be hard to maintain friendships as an adult. People move to new cities, start families, and experience all sorts of other life events that make it difficult to keep in touch. Sometimes, you end...

"disliking me is persecution" describes so incredibly many people's entire outlook these days defector.com/free-press-r...

As another Jewish woman in the industry, I can clear this up: It's due to her being an asshole.

I don't eat animal protein but I'll never call my diet 'cruelty free' because the people growing and harvesting the fruits and vegetables I eat work in conditions like this.

Cruelty to humans matters, too.

Transness is not bourgeois. This is a wedge idea dreamed up by some gleefully amoral think tank lobotomite to split trans people and make us fight each other. That we relay on modern medicine doesn't make us any more bourgeois than someone who needs antidepressants or cleft palate repair.

Aside from the disgusting bigotry, they just seem like such deeply unpleasant people. May they all reap what they sow!
