My husband is one who stood up, and we lost friends over it. It was infuriating. Thankfully he's stubborn as hell and doesn't give a shit what other people think. 😂

So I went to a university that had no fraternities or sororities and I've always been out here with my whole chest saying, "Not a single thing of value was lost." There's a reason why the Venn diagram between frat jokes and rape jokes is just a one-colour circle.

I remember a really frustrating conversation with a generally decent cishet white guy about a news story where a woman was roofied. he went off about wishing he could beat that guy up to avenge her, and I was like "how about start with calling out your friends' sexist tweets?" and he was like 😳

I would LOVE to see tech bros’ guesstimates of what shares of the population do different types of labor. Part of the infatuation with AI has to be that they can’t really imagine what most people do all day

They were promised confidentiality, yes. So either get in contact to check whether they actually want them destroyed, or remove identifying information. Politicians and shitheels are literally walking around saying the whole thing was a fucking hoax.

Technology enthusiasts severely overestimate the average person’s desire or willingness or capacity to build and use AI agents. I understand some work roles that could mandate or encourage it but that is no way a tech revolution. Agents are best for structured, clearly delineated tasks.

The solidarity continues.
Trades Union Congress

Reform-led Durham council cut off funding to the annual Pride celebrations.
So trade unions launched a fundraiser to save it, eventually raising more money than was cut.
Which means this year's Pride will be bigger than ever.
In the 1980s, the LGBT+ community raised thousands of pounds to help striking miners and their families.
When we stick up for each other, we can achieve anything.

I know this is a thing for quite a few parents, and I need y'all to know it's fucking unhinged. You can't complain that kids never grow up while you are also treating them like this. And also it tells me you are just straight up unwell. This is not normal.

Right. Like, MAHA isn’t a push for equitable access to care. It’s eugenics under the guise of “healthy living.” There’s plenty of somewhat normalizing woo and almond mom and ~natural~ in the mix, but that’s just noise. The signal is the strongest survive, and no regard for the lessers who don’t.

a lot of people want to believe that right-wing beliefs are rooted in some legitimate material grievance. that makes it easier to imagine that if we simply solved the material problem, they’d deradicalize. but they won’t, because they aren’t disillusioned, they’re just morons.

How having a disability became cool
Young women, nicknamed ‘sickfluencers’, are turning chronic illness into a lifestyle trend and entrenching a culture of economic inactivity

Young women are also more likely to get caught up in “social contagion” – the spontaneous spread of behaviours or emotions previously observed by sociologists in “outbreaks” of bulimia, self-harm and transgender ideology. What may have otherwise been transitory feelings are seized upon and obsessed over until they form a central pillar of a person’s identity. A chronic-illness influencer won’t want to get “better” any more than a female-bodied transgender person would want to re-identify with their sex.

Even if you grant the absurd premise about Jews and Italians, this only makes sense if you know *nothing* about India or its politics. Mamdani is criticizing a leader of the RSS. It's a violent Hindu nationalist group, one of whose devotees literally killed Gandhi.

My next book has a whole section on the psychology behind "People becoming successful by simply lying about already being successful then charging other people to learn their 'secrets' about how to become successful". This would make a perfect case study, but I doubt the legal team will go with it.

Lawvers for Andrew Tate have had to admit in
court that he is not a citizen of Estonia as he
previously claimed.
Much of his wealth and status is fabricated, they
said in attempt to convince the court he and his
brother are not a flight risk if released on bail
That included his claims to seven passports.
"The Tates are engaged in several businesses
teaching men how to earn money. It is in their
interest to portray themselves on social media
as uberwealthy." 1/3

We treat the ability to drive a car like a sacred, unassailable human right and it does untold harm to society. There's something to be said for how it's been made almost impossible not to drive by our infrastructure and culture, but acting like others don't have a right not to get run over is nuts.
