Came back because this is probably going to be where all the creative Trump hate signs are posted.

Fuck that guy!

After many recommendations, I finally started watching the Star Wars show Andor. I found this moment from season 1 to be particularly relevant. What do you think?

I have an even hotter take, anti Blackness isn't rooted in logic. None of our explainers for their aversion to DEI take in the very real issue of how much pleasure they get out of hate. The most successful bigots still hate equality laws because if they don't have anyone to hate they're unhappy

🧵I disagree with Jamelle Bouie very rarely, but I do here:

Ppl w/ unearned confidence believe their confidence is earned. Mediocre, mid, & otherwise unimpressive white people who oppose DEI actually *believe* themselves to have been cheated.

It's the root of antisemitism, in fact! A thread! Fun!

jamelle @jamellebouie.net · Apr 23

these people hate DEI because they would be unemployable in any system where they couldn’t rely on favoritism and nepotism

Will RFKjr also introduce a govt register of children born with disabilities? Will he falsely claim that they too won't pay taxes or hold jobs?! Will people with autism, with disabilities, or with chronic illness be labelled "undesirable" or "a burden on society"? This is #eugenics. 😠 #USPolitics

Ai is a tool for digital State capture nothing else. AI is being forced into all of our lives because it is not a feature to help you learn it is a tool to control you and knowledge while also neutering your ability to know anything.

It’s knowledge killing technology

"Federal agencies would be instructed to take steps to train students in using AI...The agencies would also be asked to partner with the private sector...All educators should undergo professional development to integrate AI into all subject areas, the draft order says."

Draft executive order outlines plan to integrate AI into K-12 schools

A policy under consideration by the White House and seen by The Post instructs federal agencies on how to incorporate artificial intelligence into classrooms.

My first apartment in 1994 was $350/month. Adjusting for inflation, that apartment should now rent for $744/month.

It actually rents for $1500. Greed and inflation are hurting the kids, not their Starbucks lattes.

Maybe I’m being overly critical but this feels like such a soft, passive headline. “Aw, we’re just going a different direction right now. Just switching it up a little bit away from those pesky quote unquote ‘human rights.’ Anyway! Who wants snacks?”

The State Department is changing its mind about what it calls human rights
The agency's annual human rights reports are being purged of references to prison conditions, political corruption and other abuses.

I know I’m late to the discourse but if you were really worried about declining birth rates you would be pushing for universal health care, free early childhood education, social security and UBI.

“Rich man wants harem” seems a lot more honest.

Trans people aren't the problem.

The problem is billionaires. Like Rowling herself.

Billionaires want you to think that immigrants, trans people, and other minorities are the problem, not themselves.

Billionaires shouldn't exist. They are unapologetically, disgustingly rich. Nobody should have to choose between heating their home, feeding their kids, or buying medicine for their grandparents.

Universal basic income should be a human right. Not the right to be rich. Late stage capitalism rewards the lucky few and punishes everyone else.

Did you use limewire and how bad did it fuck up your computer?

An assortment of dwarf hamsters use an early 2000s gateway desktop to pirate music using LimeWire. The hamsters are interacting with nostalgic y2k clutter across the desk, such as eating Bugles, chewing on CDs, playing with a tamagotchi that says “kill me”, and eating pop tarts.

How is it inspiring to girls like me, who are often being failed by schools that have their budgets being slashed, to see an obscenely wealthy woman get a free ride up to space and not even actually take anything from it other than it's a cool pace to get wrecked if you are rich? This blows. 2/2

South Side Trekkie @southsidetrekkie.bsky.social · Apr 14

As a kid, I wanted to go to space because space is cool as hell and there's got to be so much going on up there for us to find. Alas, as a girl I got fed up of dealing with guys in science and tech subjects so decided to be good at drawing instead (questionable wisdom, past me). 1/2

It shouldn't have to devastate you personally to care about it.

You should be able to look at someone else's pain and go "that's terrible, I wouldn't want that for myself, we should do something about that."

Like.

This is kindergarten shit.
