Sometimes I think of @bishoujomom.bsky.social and @striderscribe.bsky.social and I get a bit sad.

Because there might never be a hotter white girl than either of them. They've reached the hard cap, they've min-maxed sexual appeal. Their oppai is OP.

I think a lot about how British TV today, while not perfect, has representation way far beyond what we have over here for some reason and it's because they have a broadcasting law with required minimums for women/POC in talking contributive roles. It's a LAW

When Brazil adopted quotas for higher ed, the percentage of Afro Brazilians in higher ed shot up 400 percent and all of them did as well as non-affirmative action students.

The idea that affirmative action is stigmatizing and elevates unqualified people is a BS argument.

Screw SCOTUS. Higher Education Needs Racial Quotas. (Updated)

If the United States leaned into racial quotas instead of running screaming from them, we might have seen results like Brazil's.

Any time I see a skeleton in a game, I imagine it talking like Skeletor, but I do have that thought sometimes:

"Why do I assume that's a dead DUDE?"

Regarding Marimar Martinez, the woman shot by ICE/DHS in Chicago after the “ramming incident.” Judge agrees with defense that this is not a complicated case and grants speedy trial.

Jon Seidel @jonseidel.bsky.social · 2h

Parente asks for a speedy trial, saying "we don't think this is a complicated case."

At its heart, Parente says, "it's sort of a car accident, where one of the drivers gets out and shoots the other driver."

You’ll notice that new developments in generative AI are always accompanied by new ways of depicting women without their consent—undermining their autonomy and harassing them—almost like it’s a pillar of the technology and its evolution

I don’t know how to approach “Republicans weren’t racist in the early aughts” as someone who went to Texas during the early aughts and had to debate whether or not Black students were “stealing” people’s spots in class.

Love this movie right up until the end, where it breaks the plausibility threshold by suggesting that there's a good cop in the upper echelons of the LAPD who doesn't approve of police brutality and will immediately expose it if it's uncovered

It's about time Strange Days finally begins getting the retrospective love and respect it deserves. To me, it's the best pre-Matrix cyberpunk film other than Blade Runner and Robocop, and still better than most cyberpunk films made since.

30 years ago, Katherine Bigelow made a sci-fi flop that changed her career for the better

Strange Days is a noir-soaked science-fiction thriller set against a backdrop of racial tension, police brutality, sexual assault, and disruptive tech
