@PInvararity @Tyler_A_Harper @Ryan_Reilly78 @AstorAaron This is a strikingly performative identitarian thing to claim!

Someone on here said the fastest way to discern the class background of a professor is by asking if they have any friends or family who served in the military or if they know someone who died of an overdose. Dems should hire more people who answer yes to one of those questions.

[No-Shirt Shitlock @DystopamineRush]

@PInvararity @Tyler_A_Harper @Ryan_Reilly78 @AstorAaron I'm not disputing that, I'm just saying I don't think that Tyler actually has a good working sense of how "class" as a concept functions outside of his own very specific circumstances. He once defined it on here as "knowing someone who has been in the military"

[No-Shirt Shitlock @DystopamineRush]

@PInvararity @AstorAaron @Ryan_Reilly78 @Tyler_A_Harper Two things happened, and somehow, via magic, they are linked!

[No-Shirt Shitlock @DystopamineRush]

@Tyler_A_Harper @PInvararity @Ryan_Reilly78 @AstorAaron The notion that you even know what "class struggle" is, is an absolute joke

[No-Shirt Shitlock @DystopamineRush]

@AstorAaron @Ryan_Reilly78 @PInvararity @Tyler_A_Harper It's also totally incorrect and completely blinkered. Just evidence-free sophistry tailored to a trained audience of true believers, persuading no one

[No-Shirt Shitlock @DystopamineRush]

@easybeavis @Tyler_A_Harper Look Tyler, another totally normal, not neurotically aggrieved, and principled "leftist" just like you who resonates with your ideas! Good thing this is your audience now - you should be so proud!

[No-Shirt Shitlock @DystopamineRush]

@Tyler_A_Harper @job_gyhb And they're also the same admin that rescinded their "woke" policies because of pressure from the federal government, which to be clear, is not an issue at all!! It's good, in fact! Tyler should feel vindicated as a principled free speech "leftist"!!!

[No-Shirt Shitlock @DystopamineRush]

@Tyler_A_Harper Hey Tyler, when are we going to get an article on the hypocritical attacks on academic freedom coming out of your alma mater, Haverford? I'm sure your editor, volunteer IDF prison guard Jeffrey Goldberg will love it!

2. Haverford finally adopts IHRA definition of antisemitism!!!;
3. Mandatory (!!!) yearly antisemitism training to students, faculty and staff. We asked for that for years. And there are a bunch of professors in real need of such training. 2/5

@Tyler_A_Harper God the students at Bates are so lucky to have dodged the bullet of having a quisling pseudo-intellectual like you for a teacher

@187shitlibs @equalityAlec Listen brother, the people you voted for value your life the same as they do so-called "illegals." Unless you own an oil field or run a tech company, they'll grind you into paste the second it becomes expedient to do so. Whatever cruel fantasy helps you sleep at night, though!

The sentences handed down today are a huge threat to the possibility of a democratic society. The prosecution is rife with constitutional violations, but 30 years in prison (more than anyone for January 6) for moving some magazines? 50 years in prison even for those not involved in planning the protest? The evidence of an illegal conspiracy is non-existent, but this is how the authoritarian dragnet targets those fighting against repression. Everyone should be learning about this case. https://t.co/XLki7OBuID

@187shitlibs @equalityAlec Lol that's cute that you think that!

@re_skob @edzitron @broderick How many internet companies had as their main line of marketing: "re-orient your whole life and society around this tech OR ELSE"? The point is that they didn't have to - just give someone a sample and it turns out they like the product. Not the case on a wide scale with AI

[No-Shirt Shitlock @DystopamineRush]

@re_skob @edzitron @broderick Yeah see I don't disagree with you on this point - my serious point (and I think Conover's) is that the marketing & hype around AI is far more sweaty and threatening than AOL's or any other internet company for that matter

[No-Shirt Shitlock @DystopamineRush]

@float_party @re_skob @edzitron @broderick You're actually pointing out an interesting difference: the internet was primarily a research project designed by and for the DoD and DARPA, that only realized mass consumer market potential after the money was spent investing in it. AI companies are arguably doing the inverse

[No-Shirt Shitlock @DystopamineRush]

@re_skob @edzitron @broderick Kidding aside, the internet (and its "major players") turned out to have a real profit model based on increased user base. AI marketing seems more an attempt to normalize a product most people are hesitant to pay for while chasing its losses via gov subsidies. V different, imo

[No-Shirt Shitlock @DystopamineRush]

@edzitron @broderick I actually like the analogy, because how many people do you know using AOL today??

•The U.S. Senate may hold a floor vote TODAY which would overturn a 20-year moratorium on sulfide-ore copper mining on 225,000 acres of Superior National Forest land in the watershed of the Boundary Waters Canoe Area (BWCA) Wilderness in northern Minnesota. The Boundary Waters is the most visited Wilderness in the United States. 

🛶 Enjoying the Minnesotan/Canadian wilderness by canoe or other lesser watercraft is one of our nations greatest available pastimes, and one I have personally enjoyed my entire life. We must protect these public lands from the rapacious capitalists threatening to turn them into a poisoned wasteland.

•This vote in Congress would open the door to copper mining at the headwaters of this entire ecosystem. This kind of mining produces toxic pollution, including acid runoff and heavy metals, that can contaminate nearby waters.

•The Boundary Waters supports a major outdoor economy that sustains thousands of jobs and generates over a billion dollars a year - built on clean water and intact public lands. But this vote would clear the way for toxic mining that puts all of that at risk. It would also set a dangerous precedent, making it easier to roll back protections for public lands across the country, including wilderness areas, national monuments, and national parks. 

•This is a defining moment. If you care about clean water, public lands, and protecting places we can’t replace, now is the time to speak up.
•Protect the Boundary Waters, and vote NO on House Joint Resolution 140. Let’s save this treasured place for all of us—forever. https://t.co/JhNAR6Za2O
