Dude, that literally NEVER HAPPENS. No industry in America's 250 year has ever self-regulated. Y'all always SAY you will (& GOP politicians fall for it every time), but you NEVER DO.
Greed always wins. & I think you know that.

it's only dog-piling when it comes from the transsexual region of transylvania, otherwise it's just a sparkling pile-on
Bluesky rolled out rules against dog-piling but I think we all understood that they meant dogpiling *by* trans people; dogpiling *on* trans people is still allowed and even encouraged.

He really imagines that rural equates white and so, does not know how to handle either a diverse rural landscape or a diverse country music: Beyonce just did not put on a blonde wig and pretend to be country. The whole point of Cowboy Carter is to point out country’s diverse origins.
I see the NYT is still platforming 'dei crushed white men' bullsh*t. Here it's buried in a 'why rural themed pop culture' is so popular in a piece written by a Princeton grad who lives in New York City.

Using the language of cults to describe segements of a vulnerable minority who are painted as a dangerous ideology by the far right is absolutely reprehensible.
It is also, and I want to be really clear here, complete and utter nonsense to describe online trans people or Bsky trans people this way.

Schools are not a business and a student is not a customer and this is the framing that encapsulates everything wrong with higher education. The “solution” of running universities like businesses rather than a public good was always the problem.
Universities "have become too faculty-centric... we need good faculty, but they’re delivering a product to our customer. And you could argue our customer is either the student or the hiring companies that are hiring graduates. You could make an argument that they’re really the customer, ultimately"
More than any Chronicle of Higher Education profile of a professor who doesn't like academia, I think this interview is the one I'd recommend to understand where higher education is at in the United States www.insidehighered.com/news/governm...

In Massachusetts, we have a responsibility to protect the vulnerable and stand up for those who need it. We don’t throw trans kids under the bus for political points. We protect them—and all of our neighbors—because trans rights are human rights.

The fact we have an executive class that doesn't know what to do with the Looney Tunes or The Muppets really sums up what a joyless, barren world they inhabit.
There are currently no active conversations for a full ‘MUPPET SHOW’ series revival.
Disney, The Muppets Studio and Point Grey Pictures have had difficulties with deciding on a premise for the series that they can all agree on.

Okay, I know I'm an Avalanche fan forever, but before we had a team in Colorado way back when I first got into hockey I was cheering for the Rangers to break the curse in 1994. I don't often lament losing or giving away clothing, but the loss of this jacket has HAUNTED me. 😅

As a side note, it is a shocker to me how many people simply do not understand that civil rights protests broke the law.
Do they think Jim Crow was a polite suggestion and everyone was just following it until the civil rights era out of civility?

Labor Day is about unions. Unions built the middle class. You can’t support the middle class without supporting unions.
Massively powerful companies & their politicians spend LOTS of money telling you not to support unions. Because it’s the only thing they fear.
