Every intro to sociology class I teach gets this image.
A small digger trying its hardest to dig out the Ever Given ship that has run aground. It says, “Structural Problem” on the giant Ever Given and, “Making different personal choices” on the tiny digger.

these people really want to make "racist" akin to a slur rather than what it is, a straightforward label for a set of beliefs and views. if you don't like the label because you, correctly, associate it with degenerate chuds, then get better beliefs

I know I barely post anything here so I don’t expect many will see this, but if you see this and can spare a few dollars, I would appreciate it if you could help my friend. He’s been struggling and is really trying to stay afloat while awaiting surgery, and maybe some relief. gofund.me/c1cbf2b06

Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.

We need a firm, public commitment TODAY from @warren.senate.gov and @markey.senate.gov to bring the Senate to an absolute HALT to prevent this murderous budget bill from moving forward. Deny unanimous consent on EVERYTHING, even mundane business. Deny cloture. Stand up, speak out, whatever it takes.

There is an earlier group of Women who also deserve honouring, instead of the small group of 'celeb' that made a mockery of what being an Astronaut is all about. The Mercury 13 www.space.com/mercury-13.h...

Maybe we should honor the women who were real astronauts. From left to right are Shannon W. Lucid, Margaret Rhea Seddon, Kathryn D. Sullivan, Judith A. Resnik, Anna L. Fisher, and Sally K. Ride. NASA selected all six women as their first female astronaut candidates in January 1978.

Reports Indicate Trump May
Target 50501 Actions on April 19
We have reason to believe that events on 4/19 and/or the 50501 Movement may be misrepresented by the Trump Administration in an attempt to justify the use of military force.
Let us be clear: our movement is pro-democracy and firmly grounded in non-violence.
We are not affiliated with any so-called "Day of Rage" or with any group or movement promoting violence.April 19 is a Day of (Community) Action centered on mutual aid, community care, and civic engagement.
Any portrayal to the contrary is a deliberate distortion intended to undermine our message and suppress our broad, growing support.We are aware of specific and credible threats involving aggressive policing, ICE presence, and even the potential deployment of military force against peaceful demonstrators in Washington, D.C., and other locations on April 19.For clarity: 50501 DC is hosting a peaceful community aid event in Franklin Park. We are not connected to any actions taking place at Lafayette Square, the Naval Observatory Building, or the Washington Monument.
We cannot vouch for their safety of plan, and we are not affiliated with their protests.
