I can’t help feeling that what’s happening in Gaza is the beginning of the end for all of us. If we can have a genocide live-streamed during the Super Bowl and say nothing, theres no challenge in the coming years that we won’t fail.

chatgpt will never replicate the charm and syntax of an undergraduate paper where the student has neither been to class nor read more than the abstract of a paper

Dictatorship in 21st centry is similar to ones in the past; you have *only one* source of information and it lies to you.

Fifty years ago, the government decided not to interfere with the wearing of tight pants and mini-skirts.

Stereos. They used to have big cabinet sized sets with wood paneling and the two speakers that looked like they were stolen from a dance hall. We got an egg that’s recording our conversations for the police.

Overturning Roe is a reactionary response to unapologetic progressive femininity. It is law versus culture: a dying generation employing its remaining tools to enforce an irrelevant social hierarchy. It will widen the wealth gap. Women & children will suffer. It will cost lives

As back-to-school gets closer, enjoy these Dutch “bicycle buses” transporting 50+ kids getting the kind of exercise that leads to better learning, because they’re not being driven to school adding LOTS of local car traffic. Nijmegen NL video via @MartijnLi
