things that are important to note here: - this post was attached to a quote tweet of a report that elon had unfollowed her on twitter - this comes right when the right wing that elon financially supports to an enormous degree has launched another wave of virulent anti-Indian racism

In practice, you can fix Google by putting up signs that say "Local Traffic Only" on every non-arterial street. Google does a pretty decent job (though not perfect) of respecting things like this. But we won't do this, because we worship at the altar of motonormativity. bsky.app/profile/peda...

It seems obvious to me that the demand that more white collar workers pick up manual labor, fatming, and health-giving work (either by choice or by force through poorly automating office jobs with AI) is because the elites expect all the people who do those jobs now to die in concentration camps.

Just asked Victor Wembanyama if he’d ever consider promoting a sports betting company. “Absolutely not. I will never do that. Honestly, I think it's very sad to see some players promote it. .. Everybody does whatever they want, but without me.”

Local HERO in Kansas gets arrested for slashing ICE agent's tires. In an effort to deescalate the surrounding crowd, the cop arresting him yelled that the Kansas man is being arrested for slashing tires. The crowd cheered in response to that and basically gave the man a standing ovation.

They cite the fact that he was caught driving with an expired registration to paint him as a criminal who deserved to die
His background includes convictions for driving with expired vehicle registration, and a separate court judgment against him in favor of the Comptroller of Maryland. Curo entered the United States at an unknown date and location without inspection. Enforcement and Removal Operations Baltimore arrested Curo during a targeted enforcement operation June 27, 2026, and served him with a Notice to Appear. ERO Baltimore transferred him to ERO New Orleans custody June 29, 2026, and detained him at Richwood Correctional Center. On Sept. 18, 2026, an immigration judge denied Curo’s applications for relief and voluntary departure. He reserved his right to appeal.

I think that ultimately the problem with uprooting fraternities from American colleges is that the individual chapter houses full of kids are, essentially, mushrooms: the fruiting bodies of a much larger mycelial network of alumni donor money and cultural control. That's what you have to attack

Further, Alpha School appears to have blithely disregarded the need to take measures to protect student privacy. There was only one shower for 73 students. Multiple sources inform me that male students found gaps in the walls of the facility, and watched female students shower.
