There are three kinds of sequel titles I will accept:
1. Incrementing the number in a movie title (Oceans 11; Oceans 12)
2. Making a singular plural (Alien; Aliens)
3. Incorporating a number into the title (Zootopia; Zoo2pia)

If you still don’t want to leave Spotify (despite the fact you can transfer your playlists to other streaming options that don’t profit from exploiting artists while recruiting for ICE), we ask you not to share your Spotify Wrapped this year.
Spotify is running ads to recruit for the regime’s secret police. Stop paying for or using Spotify until the ICE ads stop: indivisible.org/cancel-spotify?source=bluesky

Yeah been wondering the same thing. You can set your watch by the bsky need to elevate a thread that goes bombastic about the idea that people's cognitive abilities are melting though. Very weird vibes about it to me
Has this really shifted that much? Is there empirical evidence that this happens at a higher rate than before, all other things considered? I know some amazing students, but also some not so great students. It’s a distribution.
An issue we're seeing at all levels of university is that many students are simply refusing to do *anything*. They aren't reading the syllabus, aren't following assignment guidelines, aren't engaging with material, ignoring deadlines. And this might seem like old news, but it truly has ramped up.

We should have a word for when people post something they know will be unpopular here. It's trolling of course, but a particular kind. Like they need to re-up on feeling smug. Sad.

A few different ways you can square the circle, but one way that is perhaps less challenging than either of those is to join ICC and give them retrospective jurisdiction to 2025 in the signing statement. At that point a valid pardon ends the domestic process and starts the intl one

And the J-Street / Ro Khanna effort to normalize recognition of Palestine among Dems is contingent upon recognition being of a demilitarized state that cannot pose any counter response to Israeli aggression. I guess in the most shallow sense this is iteratively an improvement but only by so little.

I feel like crowdsourcing the reasoning behind one person's opinion is likely to result in the appearance of a muddled argument, because you're really layering lots of opinions on top of one another.
