I go to Trader Joe’s with the hope of meeting “the” guy at the cheese wall - never happens. However, I’ll take the win today after a lady my age said she loved my M&S Percy Pig shopping bag and then gave me a sticker she’d had made up because she and her friends happen to love Percy Pig!

A. It’s Department of Defense. B. Department of War is the fever dream nickname created by a department head so inept and incompetent that he will be taught as a case study in dereliction of duty for centuries. C. Don’t perpetuate the department head’s game of pretend. Respect Congress.

Wow, the first scene between Hoon Lee and Ciarán Hinds was powerful. I may have to show it in class when I discuss the history of the intersection of Irish and Chinese immigration.

Woo-wee, I did not realize a John Steinbeck series would be so spicy. East of Eden is well-filmed & acted. I’m far from prude, but given all the ways women are exploited & targeted in society right now, it makes me sad (but not surprised) that shows must depict graphic sex to attract viewers.

Wouldn’t miss it a bit. AI should be tightly constrained and controlled, only used as a tool when/where there is evidence its use is a benefit (and not just profit-making or “productivity”).

Developing research skills means not jumping to conclusions based on one piece of evidence. A competent researcher cross-checks evidence, looks for context, and interrogates their own biases. And we certainly don’t shoehorn evidence into a predetermined conclusion. Talking to you, Eric Schmidt.

Please don't give the DA reopening the Cornell case any cookies. District Attorney Matthew Van Houten all but called Jane Doe a liar today. He said that in Doe's initial statement, she described "her participation in drug use and sexual conduct as voluntary, conscious, and consensual.” CONSENSUAL

You have to laugh at something like this because reality doesn’t make you cry anymore - it hits cold & hard because this is the America your mothers, sisters, aunts, nieces, daughters, friends, & wives grew up in. A country that rips away women’s bodily autonomy is also one that supports rapists.

What also depresses me is that at Drumcree - as we see in other contexts - words like “negotiate” & “compromise” are thrown around with such disingenuousness that you have to just sit & stare in awe at the cognitive dissonance required. I wish people would use such powerful words more carefully.

Deleted a string because BlueSky is not a good place for discussion and I am not gifted with an ability to write the thought-provoking or inspiring prose. Sadly, my ramblings leave people more confused than anything else. Generally the story of my life, but that’s why I don’t social media well.

A must read. “A civilization in which 1 in 3 women are sexually assaulted, in which 98% of rapists face no consequences, in which nine out of ten women murdered by men are killed by someone they trusted—that civilization is not stable. It is not healthy. It is not just. It is destroying itself.”

I don’t understand how you can have Paragraph 27, but also say, “this dispute remains extremely divisive” (Paragraph 30). I think particularly noteworthy is Paragraph 28, “The Commission…notes that the parade has not resulted in any disorder or violence for many years…” Um, 🧐🧐🧐

I keep thinking about the Quinn babies & can’t wrap my head around the OO’s expectation that people are “over” the harm and trauma of those years. Living in relative peace does not mean that anything substantially has changed about how people understand that harm (positive vs negative peace).😞

I am an American who studies policing in Northern Ireland, & the scenes from Drumcree and the Garvaghy Road has just deflated me. I feel so bad for those who still feel the negative impacts & trauma of the mid-90s, who now see others *choose* to threaten the peace & retraumatize. Just mind-numbing.

“Trans-panic” does not need to be explained by ANYTHING other than lack of moral courage and a modicum of humanity. Shame on any Democrat willing to throw trans-friends, family, and community members under the political bus in the hopes people who succumb to fear will vote for them.
