I have used
the missiles
that were in
the arsenal

and which
you were probably
saving
for Russia

Forgive me
they were powerful
so shiny
and so deadly

Current events confirm the achieved wisdom of time-honored classics in the social sciences.

2/2 War. It's bad. Another little allegory to send to your friends who think war wI’ll be worth it, from Antoine Caron of Paris.

War. It’s bad. Don’t do it. As more elegantly expressed here in 1570 via the Triumph of Mars by Antoine Caron, whose day is today.

And because Trump CHOSE to start a war w/o getting Congressional approval, he and his friends have to pay for aftermath.

Just seize Elon and Ellison and Bezos' wealth.

Being an antiwar Diaspora Jew at this historical moment means being caught between an Israeli government that thinks we’re disloyal and doesn’t care if its actions lead to more global antisemitism, and populists on right and left who think we’re loyal to Israel above all else.

The entire Democratic strategy debate — "moderate" or move left? fight or compromise? — is based on a misreading of data. Voters don't think Dems are too progressive; they think Dems are weak. The actual math on what to do about this isn't even close!

Ugh awful

of all mortals, some dying men are the most tyrannical

We had $18k in rent requests come in just today (so far).

We’re anticipating needs at our neighborhood school to be over $100k again this month, but this time donations are WAY down. We don’t have enough money to cover everyone.

Please help us keep our neighbors w/ young kids from being evicted!

Alysa Liu telling 60 Minutes “I love struggling, it makes me feel alive” is a legit revolutionary statement from a Bay Area native in a time when copious amounts of time and resources are being put toward convincing us to opt out of experiencing struggle, friction and self-actualization

Today, in honour of WEB DuBois's birthday in 1868, the @publicdomainrev.bsky.social features the hand-drawn infographics DuBois made with his students to depict the conditions of African-American life in 1900.

Arts-based pedagogy all those years ago!

Also, um, if they are going to throw stones at religious piety of a leader of an ethno-nationalist party, they might want to check if their homes are made of glass first.

I don’t remember! lol I have no idea- I try to compost and then let the rest go into the garbage disposal….

We still talk about putting food on our family and looking things up on the internets

One could argue that the death of well-written sitcoms and dramas, and the rise of reality TV, brought us to this point.

And ultimately, that all came down to TV that was cheap to produce but high on returns.

We literally lost more carefully thought-out plot lines and cultural models.

Once again, I am promising Democrats there are literally thousands of former department of justice people who will crawl over broken glass to prosecute this administration given the chance

Unique Forms of Continuity in Space, by Umberto Boccioni, 1913, (cast 1931 or 1934), 📸 by Wang Zhao

Getting shown up in the arena of elite impunity by *the British monarchy* is an incredible “America at 250!” achievement

Broadly speaking: reality tv is bad for democracy, influencers are bad for democracy, streamers are bad for democracy, YouTubers are bad for democracy.

Exceptions to all categories exist, but it’s astonishing how absolutely clogged our political and media ecosystems are with low-info narcissists

this is why i am laser-focused on paying rent for people right now.

the second a family is evicted, the costs of everything explode. lives are disrupted, new schools have to be found, people are in physical danger, and then they are so much harder to rehouse with an eviction on their record.

if someone is saying shit like "it's lowkey biphobic that you support AOC even though she won't legalize cannibalism" or "you realize that expecting your room to have windows a luxury belief right" what you're seeing are the charged particles being shot off from polycule fission

Opinion | A.I. Companies Are Eating Higher Education

“rather than rallying resistance, academic administrators are aiding and abetting a hostile takeover of higher education…despite decades of evidence demonstrating the need to test education technology, which often fails to deliver measurable improvements in student learning” 🔥🔥

Every photo from Minneapolis looks like this. Cops decked out with guns and full tac gear facing off against people in bathrobes, parkas, and sweatpants armed only with whistles and cell phones.

Yet every verified MAGA chode on X dutifully calls it a riot or violent insurrection.

One of every thousand American residents has been taken into custody by ICE in the last year.
