Texas Conference of the AAUP @texasaaup.bsky.social · 13h
There are many ways to destroy a university. Texas Tech, Texas A&M + the University of Texas have each taken a different approach…But the result will be the same: substandard education, substandard research + graduates who are less prepared for their future… + more prepared to obey without question.

I was sad there was no Poets of the Fall/Old Gods of Asgard track this time out (different game director and also Poets seem busy touring and with a somewhat “overdue“ album), but the mixtape choices were still great. Remedy continuing a trend of introducing me to interesting artists.

Here is a cartoon I did of Danny Trejo & Harvey Keitel. Fuck ICE. Pen and ink on paper.
Here is a cartoon I did of Danny Trejo & Harvey Keitel. The cartoon is a drawing of them saying: “Hi we’re Danny Trejo and Harvey Keitel, and we’re starring in a currently filming movie portraying ICE in a positive light. We should never know a moment’s peace for this, but we’re banking on the decades-long mass casual acceptance of ethical apathy toward actors starring in political propaganda like pro-war films and movies promoting fascist values to enrich our careers and boost our social status. It’s pretty fucked up, and it’d be a shame if people stopped letting this happen”. Pen and ink on paper.

I was once told by a cop, at a training triggered by a sharp increase in drugging and SA at large events in the 2010s, that their job was to disprove allegations, that 99% of victims were liars, and they were there to lock up people who made false allegations. Which was basically everyone.

A senior Ukraine official told the Financial Times that Kyiv will continue long range drone strikes, and will burn Russian refineries despite Trump’s agreement with Putin for Russia to supply diesel. Ukraine has vowed to destroy all Russia refineries to ensure they don’t get exported to the US.

Screenshot of a post by Matt Binder (@MattBinder). The image shows Jar Jar Binks, the Gungan character from Star Wars, in red robes with both arms raised as he addresses the Galactic Senate, with rows of senate pods behind him. A large, empty white speech bubble points to his mouth. Below the image, the post quotes a January 17, 2024 tweet from far-right leader Geert Wilders (@geertwilderspvv) in Dutch: "We hebben een serieus probleem met de politieke ontwikkelingen mbt de dwangwet en ik hoop dat dat de komende dagen kan worden opgelost." The post shows 638 replies, 19,000 reposts, 168,000 likes, and 9 million views.

**English translation**

"We have a serious problem with the political developments regarding the coercion law, and I hope that can be resolved in the coming days."

**Context for the translation**

"Mbt" is an abbreviation of *met betrekking tot*, meaning "regarding" or "with respect to." "Dwangwet" translates literally to "coercion law" or "compulsion law." It is not an official name: Wilders' party consistently calls the Spreidingswet (Dispersal Act) the "dwangwet" because it puts pressure on municipalities to take in asylum seekers.

The tweet is from January 2024. The Dutch Senate had approved the law with the support of VVD senators, while VVD leader Dilan Yeşilgöz wanted to scrap it, and this happened while the VVD was negotiating with Wilders' PVV to form a coalition government.

The tweet became a meme among English speakers mocking the far-right politician. Some Dutch speakers also pointed to the “we hebben een serieus probleem” construction as an example of contemporary English influencing Dutch instead of a more typical phrase “Daar is een serieus probleem” (There is a serious problem).

Discworld QOTD, from Thud!
Would a minute have mattered? No, probably not, although his young son appeared to have a very accurate internal clock. Possibly even 2 minutes would be okay. Three minutes, even. You could go to five minutes, perhaps. But that was just it. If you could go for five minutes, then you'd go to ten, then half an hour, a couple of hours...and not see your son all evening. So that was that. Six o'clock, prompt. Every day. Read to young Sam. No excuses. He'd promised himself that. No excuses. No excuses at all. Once you had a good excuse, you opened the door to bad excuses.

In an oft-told anecdote, my mom was friends with Sherrod Brown and I have fond memories of him taking me to Chuck E. Cheese. My email telling him to fuck off still probably got deleted by an assistant, but I hope he knows there's an actual former trans child mad at him and that it hurts his feelings

If James Talarico collapses in Texas, it's almost entirely because he alienated his Trans and Queer voter base in favor of pandering to voters who'd never vote for him to begin with. The idea of reaching across the aisle, does not work in the current era, and Dems must act now to unite what's left.

a lot of people are replying with 'what are you going to do about it,' and while every level of government could do more, the powers the *DC City Council* has in this situation are comparatively limited. This isn't just voter intimidation, but an argument for statehood for the District of Columbia.

A Tennessee appellate court has ruled that the killing of a woman may have been justifiable because she was trans. The court reversed a conviction, stating that the killer could have a new trial because the jury did not know the woman killed was trans. Trans panic in the modern era.

Killing of Woman May Have Been Justifiable Because She Was Trans, Tennessee Court Rules
The case is a bitter reminder of the ways LGBTQ people have had their identities weaponized by the courts in the past, most notoriously through a legal defense tactic known as gay or trans “panic.”
