How do people not see that the entire OU essay thing is just an attempt by this girl and the Turning Point chapter to turn her into another Riley Gaines grifting on trying to push trans people out of society?

A book cover and quote graphic. On the left is the cover of Radical Antiquity by Christopher B. Zeichmann, featuring a classical marble bust wearing a red bandana over its face. The subtitle reads: β€œFree Love Zoroastrians, Farming Pirates, and Ancient Uprisings.” On the right, white text on a red background displays a quote from Alan Moore: β€œA compelling argument that authority may itself have always been the real aberration,” with attribution beneath. A small Pluto Press logo appears in the bottom right corner.

While your boyfriend is thinking about the Roman Empire, you're reading about the ancient anarchists who escaped it.

This sort of belief, that Christianity is the most moral religion in human history and that it acted as a moralizing agent that "civilized savages" is sadly still a somewhat common belief among older members of even liberally minded churches like the Episcopal Church. I've heard people say this.

A photo of a detailed view of the badge worn by Matthew Elliston during an ICE hiring event on Aug. 26, 2025, in Arlington, Texas, overlaid with the headline, "The Feds Want to Make It Illegal to Even Possess an Anarchist Zine," and the DEK, "Daniel Sanchez is facing federal charges for what free speech advocates say is a clear attack on the First Amendment."

I Set A Trap To Catch My Students Cheating With AI. The Results Were Shocking. "Students are not just undermining their ability to learn, but to someday lead."

"And I guess that’s why I hate AI in the classroom as much as I do. Students are afraid to fail, and AI presents itself as a savior. But what we learn from history is that progress requires failure. It requires reflection."

Meta plans $1 billion data center in Beaver Dam The facility is expected to be completed in 2027 and will support 100 jobs, according to state officials.

$1 billion data centre to maybe create 100 jobs. That's likely an overstatement.

It is truly not worth draining the living word for this vampiric tech and people are starting to realize it.
