Purdue to the rescue of IU student newspaper, whose institution was attempting censorship. Details in alt!

I'm sure many of you have heard by now that earlier this week, IU k*lled the print edition of its student paper, the IDS. The issue that was supposed to print this week contained criticism of the Whitten regime and IUs further slide into scist control, and they couldn't allow that to happen during Homecoming, when all the rich alumni are in town.
Enter Purdue! The Purdue student paper, The Exponent, owns its own presses. Yesterday, in an act of tremendous solidarity with their biggest rival school, they printed the forbidden issue of the IDS. They then drove it to Bloomington overnight and stocked all of the IDS boxes on campus, just in time for Homecoming.
Solidarity is what makes us stronger, and solidarity will be what ultimately allows us to triumph, if we can ever truly get it together. I hope everyone has a fun, safe day if they're going out today, and I hope we can think about what acts of solidarity we can begin taking to really make this movement MOVE - beyond a permitted expression of upset into more active resistance.

Translation: they were not drug runners, and the Trump administration is randomly murdering innocent fishermen.

They have showed absolutely ZERO evidence to back up their “drug runner” claims.

The New York Times @nytimes.com · 15h

Breaking News: The Trump administration has decided to repatriate two survivors of a deadly U.S. strike this week on suspected drug runners in the Caribbean Sea rather than prosecute them or hold them in military detention, people with knowledge of the matter said on Saturday.

U.S. to Repatriate Survivors of Its Strike on Suspected Drug Vessel

The U.S. military rescued the two men in the Caribbean Sea after Special Operations forces fired on a semi-submersible that was assessed to be smuggling drugs.

Tolkien named "Bag End" (Bilbo and Frodo's home) for the literal French to English translation of "cul-de-sac" as a way of poking fun at the English habit of using French phrases to sound sophisticated.

Frodo lived in a cul-de-sac: 'end of bag'.

'Bag End' from Lord of the Rings, big round green door, which seems like a design flaw.

There have been 12 players to hit 3+ HR in a Postseason game.

There have been 16 pitchers to have a Postseason game with 6+ IP, 2 hits or fewer, 10+ K, and 0 runs allowed.

Only one did both on the same night.

Ppl who read about a Autistic trait often don’t have *context* & ask:

“that sounds like something everyone does, doesn’t that mean everyone’s Autistic?”

1st, having a *single* Autistic trait doesn’t mean a person is Autistic.

2nd, we recommend you take the RAADS-R test if want larger context.

RAADS–R | Embrace Autism

The RAADS–R is a questionnaire designed to assist clinicians with the diagnosis of autistic adults who often “escape diagnosis” due to a subclinical level presentation.

Spending a Friday creating accounts on a niche social media site to troll people is not a sign of strength. It is not a sign of confidence. And it is certainly not a sign of good judgment.

The reason they're coming after this place is because they can't control the people on it and it drives them nuts.

heartbroken to learn the pope sympathizes with the poor. how can i continue to believe in god

The Pope tweets: "The poor are not there by chance or by blind and cruel fate. Nor, for most of them, is poverty a choice. Yet, there are those who still presume to make this claim, thus revealing their own blindness and cruelty. #DilexiTe"

Someone replies: "I was so hopeful I could be a Catholic again after the disaster that Francis was, guess we just get Francis 2.0 now and I am heartbroken. How do I stay a Catholic now...I don't want to lose faith but I am. You belong to someone else, not God."

The trick here, of course, is that you have to bear in mind who does and doesn’t count as an American to Mike Johnson and the Republicans.

Kaufmann has written a response to my piece that borders on nonsensical. He continues to assert that his use of unweighted data, something the organization he gets the data from explicitly has stated is incorrect on the record, is the best way to measure gender identity trends.

Most people may not know the name Laura Sabia, but she helped shape Canadian history with her activism.
She was tireless in her work, which led to major reforms in Canada when it came to gender equality.
This is her story.
