STOP using “medieval” to describe the atrocities people commit today. “Evil” and “morally repugnant” will suffice.

Love that my opponent is trying to paint me as someone who wants political violence and meanwhile her party is going to execute someone on live tv (after already murdering multiple citizens in the streets and fishermen in boats)

Not part of your thread, which is brilliant, but one of the things to be aware of is that early church believed the anti-christ is anything in seats of power. Beware of the one calling out anti-christs because that one is a false prophet

Very happy to announce the Spanish edition of Bring the War Home, coming 10/19 from @capitanswing.bsky.social. Though it has been almost a decade since its publication, this history still has much to teach us about white supremacy, racism, violence, & the way these forces structure society.

not that you should expect anything more than rank idiocy from this pair of racists, but the idea that whiteness means a "high trust" society of "social cohesion" is some of the stupidest shit i have ever heard. these people live in a fantasy land that you could dispel by simply opening a book.

“When his turn on the pope’s stage came, Mr. Olah acknowledged that every frontier A.I. lab, including Anthropic, had business incentives that conflicted with moral behavior.” One cannot worship God and mammon(power) at the same time. The valuation of Anthropic means Claude defaults to power.

A facebook post by the US embassy in Yaoundé that has trumps image, plus this horrible phrase:

There is no human right to illegal immigration, but there is a right to remain a sovereign nation.
L'immigration clandestine ne relève d'aucun droit de l'homme, mais il existe un droit à rester une nation souveraine.

One of the things I love about following Seth (other than the fact he's a great dude and brilliant scholar) is he'll describe some Right-wing guy and it's always like "a committed anti-Communist and John Bircher, he also believed an army of forest gnomes could help him become county commissioner"

I am reminded as fall temps drop that worker bees spend their days kicking out the drones out of hives to die. Drones are bros in true sense of word: eat everything, do nothing, and bring diseases in the home. The natural world of honey bees knows how to deal with shameless men who drain resources.

Yes, never bring it up. Always a student who raises hand and then others jump in. More recently, I had a student ask if that is why they are attacking history programs. The kids are alright (and the irony is that the administration is radicalizing them not me/us)
