The White House is bragging about reducing immigration (including refugees) from Muslim-majority countries to near 0. The U.S. is a nation of 340 million or so people. It was letting in just 18,000 people or less per month from these same countries prior to Jan 2025. Obvious anti-Muslim bigotry.

I imagine it would probably be different if the money was on the table for me in a real way but I really do think I'd walk away from a pretty large amount of money not to have to go along with something as fucking stupid as this renaming

this is the rape culture btw. the one women have been warning you about, and were told we were hysterical and over-sensitive and couldn't take a joke, and that rape allegations ruin men's lives, and now we live in a meritocracy where the only "merit" is who has hurt the most women

Every college in this country decided that expelling and/or sending the police to beat the shit out of their own students for the crime of being opposed to genocide was their top priority. That and giving Trump complete control of what they teach. Contrast that with how they treat rapists.

Writing by Hand is Good for your Brain - Here's how to do it
Because I am known to write using a fountain pen on paper, a number of people have pointed me to this post and its underlying research. I won’t rehash what is said in those sources, but the gist of it is that when you write things down by hand you’re recruiting more of your brain, which is a good thing.

And you can directly walk this back to Gamergate and before. The argument that women "invaded" male gaming spaces (like D&D and video games), that women only game for male attention, are all derived from the same mentality that got us Ready Player One, The Manosphere, and Palantir.

“All watched over by machines of loving grace” by Richard Brautigan, written in 1967.
All WATCHED OVER BY MACHWES OF LoViNg GRACE
by Richard Brautigan
I like to think (and the sooner the better!) of a cybernetic meadow where mammals and computors live together in mutually programmatic harmony 
I like to think (right now, please!)
of a cybernetic
forest
filled with pines and electronics where deer stroll peacefully past computors
as if they were flowers
with spinning blossoms

I like to think! (it'has to be!)
of a cybernetic ecology
where we are free of our labor and joined back to nature, returned to our mammal brothers and sisters, 
and all watched over by machines of loving grace.
