This Finnish guy has been teaching himself Sumerian, and sent a cuneiform tablet to the British Museum to check his progress. They just emailed him that they've sent him something in the post. I'm now thrilled and excited for a total stranger! Clay tablet mail! www.reddit.com/r/Cuneiform/...

I go by Ms. I'll answer to Mrs Husbandlastname because I don't expect everyone who knows my husband to know I kept my family name. It bugs me when strangers - usually telemarketers - use Miss or Mrs. Why are you assuming you know my marital status? It's gross.

good advice for any field, any creative community really. People doing hustle-culture shit & treating me/my time rudely, like a vending machine... I've been in the game long enough to see most of those folks flame out. it doesn't work! Just be a human being! You are already one! Allegedly!

As a new Harry Potter trailer makes the rounds, it bears repeating that there’s no way to watch this show without supporting J.K. Rowling’s bigotry and the structural violence she’s inflicting on the trans community.

There is no ethical consumption of HBO’s Harry Potter series

You can’t without supporting Rowling’s transphobic bigotry.

Seen some talk of unethical fiction, so here’s my take

Three panel comic titled Unethical Fiction:
1. Made with AI
2. Printed on human skin
3. The author uses their profits to fund a hate group.

In 1953 Iran had a functioning democracy. A free press. Seven political parties. Women in universities. Women granted voting rights in municipal councils in 1952. A secular prime minister named Mosaddegh who believed Iran's oil belonged to Iran. The US and Britain decided he had to go.

On this day in 1891, Ellen Martin went to the polls in Lombard, IL & demanded to vote. Martin noted that the town’s charter did not explicitly limit voting in town elections to men. The election judges reluctantly agreed with Martin, who reportedly became the 1st woman to vote in Illinois. #WeTheMen

Data says storage prices drops by 19% every time production doubles. You can’t out-compete math this aggressive. This "learning rate" is a one-way street to total electrification: As battery costs crater, EVs become cheapest, and solar/wind becomes reliable 24/7 This feedback loop can't be stopped

Now with ALT text! 'Cos everyone deserves access to the cool memes A napkin doodle from famous "Fox Trot" cartoonist Bill Amend, commenting on current events

A doodle in black ink on a paper napkin by Bill Amend, in a cute somewhat simplified version of his newspaper comic art style.

Hitler, leaning back, says "You're gonna get in trouble for that."

Captain America, leaning in and punching him, says "Okay"

Context: A student filmed himself yelling support for ICE in a school and one of his fellow students announced an intention to punch him and did so. The dialogue is directly from the video that has gone viral.

Three rules in FBI firearm training: 1. Always point your weapon downrange 2. Do not point your weapon at anything you do not intend to shoot 3. Don’t put your finger on the trigger unless you intend to shoot Guns are not for threatening compliance for unarmed people doing things you don’t like
