According to the full test I took at mydialect.us I talk most like someone from Connecticut — about 60% of my answers match a typical resident.

Redefining "woke" to make it carry the full weight of its purported anecdotal excesses, while emptying it of its substantive origins, meanings and critiques is not coincidental. It is loadbearing to the project of delegitimizing those critiques, and getting past the discomfort and threat they posed.

For the first time in decades, I thought about my Latin teacher in high school, Cecil Mays. I just looked her up, and apparently she died in February of this year. Ave atque vale, magistra.

I think one of its biggest appeals is it gives the incapable a sense of being able to do something they can't. I drew this with AI. I wrote this with AI. Like the child who traced Snoopy. Look what I did.

We all seem to have forgotten one of the most truly delightful and surprising indie interactive fiction drops of the last decade. 17776 is ostensibly about football, which is why at first glance I thought I wouldn't like it. But it really makes me smile, and the world could use that right now.

on the balance i think partisan gerrymandering is bad but the only way it ends is if democrats weaponize it against republicans everywhere they can. wiping out republican lawmakers in blue states might bring the GOP to the table to end the practice.

Exactly right. Bovino's leaving? Great, get Noem to resign. Noem resigns? Great, defund and dismantle ICE. Go after Stephen Miller too. Bring charges against ICE thugs at the state and local level. Lawsuits. New state laws restricting them. Every possible angle.

Many of his family members fought with the Allied forces against the Germans in World War II, and “I learned from them very early that what one does with Nazis is kill them,” he said at a 2023 conference on antinuclear activism in Johannesburg. “I am not a pacifist.”

Purdue to the rescue of IU student newspaper, whose institution was attempting censorship. Details in alt!
Sara Whitmer

I'm sure many of you have heard by now that earlier this week, IU k*lled the print edition of its student paper, the IDS. The issue that was supposed to print this week contained criticism of the Whitten regime and IUs further slide into scist control, and they couldn't allow that to happen during Homecoming, when all the rich alumni are in town.
Enter Purdue! The Purdue student paper, The Exponent, owns its own presses. Yesterday, in an act of tremendous solidarity with their biggest rival school, they printed the forbidden issue of the IDS. They then drove it to Bloomington overnight and stocked all of the IDS boxes on campus, just in time for Homecoming.
Solidarity is what makes us stronger, and solidarity will be what ultimately allows us to triumph, if we can ever truly get it together. I hope everyone has a fun, safe day if they're going out today, and I hope we can think about what acts of solidarity we can begin taking to really make this movement MOVE - beyond a permitted expression of upset into more active resistance.

Eugene Debs said, "While there is a lower class, I am in it, while there is a criminal element, I am of it, and while there is a soul in prison, I am not free." He was highlighting vulnerability, not just expressing solidarity. Anyone can be classified as subhuman, and we are seeing that now.

Even accepting the premise that AI produces useful writing (which no one should), using AI in education is like using a forklift at the gym. The weights do not actually need to be moved from place to place. That is not the work. The work is what happens within you.

Optimism is a useful way to survive the world, but you must never think of it as a way to describe the world. The world is not a good place, injustices do happen and are never repaid. Realism is how you must navigate the cold world, optimism must be the blanket to warm you throughout the journey.

It seems sad that it requires times like these to make clear that you must ALWAYS disrespect and have contempt for power, in a person or in an institution. Respect should be restricted to people, including their right to forfeit that respect with their opinions and their actions.

White supremacy is so wild because people deep in it really believe that bad things don’t happen to them, like they’re main characters in the story of the world. They can’t accept that they can make bad decisions or even be wrong, because they’re inherently “right” people. Bonkers shit.

By nature, conservatives are unimaginative cowards. They are reactionary, regressive, desperate to recreate the past because they are terrified of a future they cannot imagine. Their only solutions to current problems are ones that didn't work in the past, because they cannot think of new ideas.
