this actually rings true for AI rules and regulations too
> What might it be, I want to ask, for professors to lead administrators and the law in thinking not merely in the familiar terms of consent, coercion, and conflict of interest—but in terms of what university teachers as teachers owe their students as students?

Ahmed will never give up on his work. I will never give up on him.

This is a survival & legal fund for a Palestinian student facing protracted state violence and dispossession. It will help him have dignity & autonomy again.

Hey Bluesky, could you help me signal boost my Big Cartel shop? Jeremy Creatures are designed and hand-sewed by me, and they take many hours to create.

it’s so tough to log onto this website full of the supposedly preeminent thinkers of our time and hear again and again both handwringing about our extraordinary present challenges and derisive annoyance (and worse!) at those ~*~forever covid wackos~*~ as if they are disconnected when…
hate to be such a broken record, but as a lupus patient who could not access my hydroxychloroquine due in no small part of members of that over-exposed charlatan class, it’s infuriating to me that the conversation—like our culture—seems to desire stagnation over taking responsibility for our present
Listen: there are already people who have been organizing in this space for years—people who are connecting the dots between those in office and climate change and the ongoing pandemic and genocide in Gaza and your denial who have been holding a mask out to you, waiting. Are you ready to put it on?

…in crisis after crisis, the folks who’ve taken the time to understand both the risks & the tools are also the ones who get them—at little to no cost—to communities. these are groups of often predominantly disabled ppl doing what gvmts should be being regularly met with contempt—& its infuriating.
obviously i’d prefer none of this happen, but it is. that’s how a lot of us felt during the last administration, when “back to normal” pushed people— you?— into a false sense of complacency, so we organized.

who were the people prepared when LA burned? when measles returned? who’s ready right now?

So came across this CNN clip and it's wild to me how in 2026 people are still having truly bargain basement convos about socialism. The kicker is that Joe Rogan is the one who made the most sense in this clip🙃 www.youtube.com/watch?v=ykZ-...
Joe Rogan shares observations that align with socialism

I am honestly pretty entertained about the prospect of Britain and Argentina having a second Falklands war over Israel. I think we should have a game show where people can vote on the next historical conflict to rerun.
Itamar Ben-Gvir calls on Netanyahu to recognize the Falkland Islands / Malvinas as "territory under [British] occupation" in response to the forthcoming trade ban on Israeli settlement goods and services in occupied Palestine.

The number of Palestinians who had to die before some people came around to “murdering Palestinians is bad, actually”

I’m glad you get it now but I really hope you think deeply about the moral rot that allowed you to see it otherwise so that you have a real relationship with “never again”

We have three weeks to raise 750 so we can consult a lawyer about ending the state violence facing this Palestinian student. I’m taking it week by week. chuffed.org/project/ahmedf
Ahmed is an art therapist and student who was forcibly displaced from Gaza, but STILL faces state violence. He needs help to survive and get legal help.

Nothing in days.

I know people are like "he's using it in the broader white people context" but I don't actually think that's ok. It's ceding linguistic ground to the people who said "woke" when they knew they'd get in trouble for saying "Black".

Of all the things I don’t believe in this manifesto, the thing I don’t believe THE MOST is that Mark Zuckerberg has normal fucking weekend routines with his kid.

No seriously tho, like White folk (left and right) stay stealing our language, concepts, culture and even whole movements, recontextualizing them into nonsense and then blaming us when it all goes to shit.

No! YOU WILL SAVE INDIES!

Go leave a review for that neat indie game you like, share the trailer for an upcoming game you're anticipating, tell your fave developer they did a good job, go tell people about such and such game that's just come out, you can make a difference!
