The kafkaesque horrors of the pronoun tribunals haunt me still

I too remember the earlier, woke wars. tons of spent microaggression munitions strewn about everywhere, friends crying out for God as they were slowly cancelled...look, if you weren't there, you'll never understand

Kalshi employees "kind of understand that without the tweets and the streamers and all of the social-media stuff that the traders do for them, usually just for free, their marketing would be a lot harder," said Jack Campion, 20, a junior at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and a Kalshi affiliate.
In September, Kalshi briefly signed up a 15-year-old videogame streamer who goes by vertid online to promote its brand on X as an affiliate.
A week later, Kalshi ended the partnership.
"Yo brother, legal team confirmed that we can't work with minors rn," a Kalshi employee wrote to the user in messages reviewed by the Journal. "Kinda sad tbh."

imagine being a history buff and getting this random tattoo on your chest that you look at every day in the mirror and then when you watch history documentaries for the next 20 years you never notice that all the nazi uniforms had your chest tattoo on their hats?

I’ll repeat, this isn’t a presidential administration, it’s a domestic terrorism operation.

If you took $1 billion and gave it to the endowment of a different small college each day, they could each provide a free college education to several hundred students per year in perpetuity. Instead we are using that money to bomb schools and kill students in Iran, for no clearly stated purpose.

$40,000/year for 2 hours/day of AI-assisted education? Scam artists are apparently convinced there’s a nonzero population who’d like to pay a lot of money not to educate their kids.

I'm gonna need just one lawyer to explain why Sheehy hasn't been arrested for assault. Because if I broke a Marines arm like that, I would have been arrested for assault.

Canada’s Visa Requirements Are Forcing Students in Gaza to Put Dreams on Hold Students accepted by Canadian universities struggle to figure out how to leave Gaza and comply with strict visa rules.

It is horrific that Palestinian students from Gaza, admitted to Canadian universities, are not being granted student visas to Canada.

Amidst an ongoing genocide and occupation, denying Palestinian students is continuation of same violence and anti-Palestinian racism.

Amazon's $8 billion Anthropic investment balloons to $61 billion The cloud giant holds convertible notes in Anthropic. As the AI startup raises more money, this debt converts to equity.

If the Washington Post story above sounds like PR for Anthropic, that's because it is! Amazon has invested billions of dollars in Anthropic. Jeff Bezos, of course, owns both the Washington Post and Amazon.

β€œAlmost all the 165 people killed in the attack were girls aged between seven and 12, according to local officials. There were around 170 girls at the school in southern Iran’s Minab at the time.β€œ

Forgot to mention: MT Sen. Sheehy is of course the guy who pretended he was wounded in Afghanistan when really he'd shot himself with his own firearm in a park in Montana. That also was never fully explained. Montanans seem to have a high tolerance for crazy. 6/

It’s so racist that we just, as a society, refer to the very brief period of time where people at least pretended to give a shit about social justice as β€œthe woke era”

He demanded that she send him nude pictures and bullied her into a relationship. This is called sexual harassment. It was not β€œan affair”. RESIGN NOW.
