Green Party raises more in a day than they did in six months Green Party supporters are here to do two things: fundraise for the local elections and suck humbug, and they're all out of humbug

Israeli army forces attack the Old City of Nablus in the occupied West Bank, according to local sources.

Keep Hope Alive: a Gaza Giving Circle We are a team of volunteers in the US and UK, led by two sisters passionate about helping our friends on the ground keep their families and neighbors alive with food, water, & shelter. We saw that their...

We’ve lost so many carers this autumn: people—in & outside of Palestine—who taught us that mutual aid frees us. That hope is action.

It takes all of us to turn this tide of disappearing support for families in Gaza. Here’s one chance for six families:

If the things you require me to sacrifice "for the greater good" are my healthcare, my safety, my bodily autonomy and my right to exist as an equal human being in your society, then it's not the good at all.

I loved rosencrantz and guildenstern but I haven't forgotten that stoppard stood with Rowling when she went full mask off so unless someone has some kind of update re transphobia? I'm gonna go with 'eh'.

i would make the case that, because depictions of christ are quite variable, goku is actually the single most recognizable person in the world

It’s incredibly funny people flipped out about a guy running the most standard ass municipal government policy playbook imaginable.

This is pretty classical stuff.

Everyone knows that if you took 87% of executives into a back room and shot them, no one at the firm would even notice for six months, because it's all fake work to take credit for actual work done by real employees.

I could learn to be ok with AI replacing 87% of executives

Once again, our kakistocracy rewards the ignorant & the inept, worsening as you go up the ranks.

I think it more raises the question of why we still allow executives to exist.

Yes because execs already don’t work

There is a direct correlation between how fake your job is and how much value you see in AI

My cat is flattened beneath an open flap to a box that hangs low to the floor. But he thinks we can't see him as he looks - with BIG eyes - to the left, ready to jettison out.

Happy #Caturday from Squeezy.

Nope, we can't see you under the box flap at all (when he was smaller, he loved to play with the pens we put on the flaps. Now he reaches out for our feet).

Barely fits now! #crazyeyes

Tiny lead fragments in hunted meat exceed safe levels, study reveals This fall, when Adam Leontowich headed to southeast Saskatchewan to hunt whitetailed deer and ruffed grouse, he once again opted for lead-free ammunition—cartridges with copper bullets for his .308 ri...

6/6 Why is this dangerous? Because these people have money, social media reach, and political influence.

If they succeed, the US and Europe could slide into authoritarianism and lose the freedoms that define them. Pay attention.

This is not theory, it is happening

3/6 Yarvin’s core belief: democracy is a mistake.

He argues freedom creates chaos and inefficiency.

His solution? Replace democratic governments with authoritarian “CEO style” rule, where one leader runs a country like a corporation

1/6 How should the world look according to Curtis Yarvin, the ideological father of JD Vance, Peter Thiel, and other powerful figures in the US?

And why should we be worried? 🧵

Remember when Amazon held a sale during Independent Bookstore Day in an effort to undercut indie bookstores?

We didn’t forget. Support local bookstores during Small Business Saturday and beyond.

Meanwhile, teaching is being undermined and devlaued at our institutions in a frankly historically dangerous way, and as an underpaid contract instructor, having to spend more time and emotional energy finding ways to get through to my students for the same low pay is not sustainable. /8

Financial precarity. Yes university students have always been living on their last 20 bucks, but the number of students I talk to now who have *multiple* jobs in addition to being fulltime students, some of whom are taking care of family members' survival needs as well as their own, is shocking. 5/

It takes me 3x as long to grade assignments now, because I have to explain gently and effectively why ChatGPT style writing is boring -- they swim in this stuff now even when they don't use the tools. Maybe no one has even told them their own voice matters, so that is down to us. 3/

I want to believe that writers used to have some dignity to not misuse the English language so badly re made up concepts such as being cancelled while still making a million plus a year but apparently we just live in the dumbest timeline ever.

These days, C.K. occupies a strange place in the culture. He is in a cancellation limbo, joined by the likes of Chris Brown and Andrew Cuomo. C.K. isn't too cancelled to perform several sold-out shows at the Beacon, but he's cancelled enough that, if you manage to snag a ticket, you might not want to brag about it to your co-workers. He's cancelled enough that, if the show is one of his strongest standup routines in years, you may write about it, but not without mentioning that he's disgraced.

“Cancellation limbo”: when you’re definitely not cancelled but not as celebrated as you used to be. This is one reason why “cancel culture” discourse is so tiresome: a lot of people are using it to mean “my life was affected in some negative way by my actions”

I'm launching my presidential election. Day one task: Billionaires are a terrorist organization and I will use the most lethal fighting force to bring them to justice.

On the one hand this is heinous, on the other hand under this logic an enterprising Democratic president can declare tech billionaires to be terrorists who are poisoning the American people with their products
