After this weekend's racist attacks on the EU, I've written a column about the moral obligation to stop posting on X.
Oh no, wait, I wrote it *two years ago* when it was blatantly obvious what was going on and how it would get much much worse.

Holy shit, Spotify is fucking repugnant. I keep thinking I know how trash that platform is, and I keep being shocked all over again.
An old person, I just hoard MP3s. I buy ‘em with Bandcamp and stream from my hard drive with Plex.

My girlfriend has spent countless hours setting up a home server filled with the music we own, painstakingly tagging albums and installing a way to listen to music outside the house.
Meanwhile Spotify now recommends fake AI bands. The real King Gizz band left the platform months ago.

This may be less because poor people are better, and more because being caught disproportionately impacts poor people.

I think the four pieces I edited by incarcerated queer journalist B Speaks may be the thing I'm proudest of this year. Speaks is an incredible writer, with an ability to take you into the world of the GA prison, and its trans and queer inmates, that takes my breath away.
In August, we got a bit of extra money from a generous donor, and I used it to expand into coverage of trans life in American prisons.
This piece, by incarcerated journalist B Speaks, describes the chaos Georgia's forced detransition regime, currently halted by the courts, wreaked in one prison.

The proliferation of AI-generated cute animal videos is a great reason to follow animal rescues, and donate to them as long as you're doing that. For the care of the animals and also creating a space for reliably authentic videos of baby skunks skittering across hardwood floors

During ratification of the 14th Amendment, senators discussed whether the Citizenship Clause would apply to the children of immigrants and resoundingly concluded that it did. The text and history all point in one direction and the counter-arguments are patently fraudulent. I am going to lose my mind
The evidence is the text. All you have to do is read the Constitution.

I dunno man the concept of actually owning something you pay for must be like a drug if you're under 30

Given how inextricable the tech industry is from the Trump administration at this point, fighting one inevitably supports efforts to fight the other. We let data centers be built unchallenged at our peril in more ways than one.
Communities need to put as many obstacles as possible in the way of data center construction. Make tech firms spend money and burn time.

This is horrific and exactly what those of us in Black studies, gender studies, women’s studies have been warning our colleagues in the sciences about. Their seeming neutrality will not save them.
Heartbreaking. The University of Nebraska will terminate its entire Earth science department.
One of the country's most successful and respected geology & climate programs: gone.
When ideologues & politicians are threatened by the very act of studying climate change, I wonder: who of us is next?

It's over.
Despite the fact that the academic council recommended against it, despite the fact that the program brought in more tuition than it cost, and despite the fact that Nebraskans need & deserve this expertise, Earth & Atmospheric Sciences will be cut.

It’s clear from the video this woman had just come to the park to play with her child. She said as much and was upset that there were masked men with guns in the park.
Border Patrol chief Greg Bovino calls the woman an “activist” and Andy Ngo says the woman was using her child as a “human shield.”
