Who should you vote for in the School Committee election? Not the incumbents!

This is very long, I know less about School Committee, and I may've made some mistakes, so please let me know if I got something wrong or why you disagree.

Our shitshow of a School Committee, and who to vote for instead

We need a completely new School Committee.

Imagine suggesting, even in jest, that you have “ptsd” from trying and failing to take away healthcare from millions of folks.

REPORTER: Do you support repealing Obamacare and what's your healthcare plan?

MIKE JOHNSON: We worked on repealing and replacing Obamacare back in 2017. I still have PTSD from the experience. We know that American healthcare needs dramatic reform. We have lots of ideas.

(So, no plan)

LinkedIn post about how a guy got a job interview at Strava by running a route that spelled HIRE ME on the map

HIRE ME written on the map (looking more like HIRE NE tbh)

commenter asks if the guy got the job and OP says “I don't think so. But his effort got him noticed and a foot in the door when so many others didn't”

On this """Columbus Day,""" please remember that Christopher Columbus was as dumb as he was sleazy

🏳️‍⚧️ Josephine Riesman (Horrifying) @josie.zone · Dec 12

TIL Christopher Columbus didn’t think the world was round, he thought it was a ball with one part rising to Christian Heaven, “like a woman’s nipple”

www2.latech.edu/~bmagee/212/...

Columbus speculated that the earth had a bulge, having the form of a pear (de la forma de una pera) or of a ball with a bulge like a woman's nipple (una teta de muger alli puesta; Textos 215). The world's
"nipple (peçón) was in the East, where he thought he was, along the equator (215). Because of its height, it was the part of the world closest to heaven.

thank you for this, @emilyctamkin.bsky.social

I know exactly why leftists aren't celebrating this ceasefire

Why not celebrate the ceasefire? Because, while it's a relief, it won't undo all the suffering and death of the past two years.

my biggest beef with bluesky is that I get way more updates on what Curtis Yarvin or Peter Thiel than anything on the African continent

What the Twitter takeover did so effectively was fracture the way we get our news. If, for example, I want to get in-depth updates on Sudan I still check in with Twitter as that's where a lot of the biggest accounts are. There's no one-stop shop anymore.

Boston No Kings! won't be your average protest.

Yes, we’ll have speakers-but also live music, theater & art, & more than 30 resistance groups ready to turn your outrage into action.

Peaceful? Yup. Passive? Never. Join us!

Remember folks: AI sucks but Futurism does too

Jesse @misctakes.com · Jan 26

just want to note, Futurism has found a niche in baiting the clicks of AI skeptics, either by flattering our priors or rousing our outrage, but it's all tabloid shit

just because Futurism is volunteering for this guy's marketing campaign doesn't mean we have to as well
