Okay who the fuck is this white man who has no grasp of asexuality. This is soooo harmful to the aspec community and so irresponsible of major news outlets to peddle this kind of rhetoric. Has the ace community stumbled upon this yet?? @theacecouple.com #asexual #aspec
A screenshot from @Andersoncooper360 on Instagram showing a collage image of Anderson cooper interviewing Scott Galloway, a bald white man with thin rimmed glasses and a stubble. The collage has three images, with the top most image showing Anderson cooperating looking down asking a question. The middle image is of Anderson and Scott sitting across from each other with a blue globe on a large digital screen in the background. The bottom image is of Scott. A headline in the middle of the collage reads, “Scott Gallloway on ‘- new species of asexual, asocial males’”.

People are not paying enough attention to what the govt is testing in Chicago. “A federal agent pointed a gun at a combat veteran’s face & said “bang, bang” and “you’re dead, liberal”… the agents, including Border Patrol chief Greg Bovino [also threw] tear gas” blockclubchicago.org/2025/10/28/f...

Federal Agent Told Combat Veteran 'You're Dead, Liberal' At Little Village Encounter, Attorneys Say
The allegation comes as ICE and Border Patrol are increasingly facing pushback for using tear gas, pepper spray, rubber bullets and other measures against peaceful protesters and bystanders.

Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.

Working at a cafe this morning and the table next to me is discussing education. Person A tells Person B to put everything they think relevant to the conversation on a Word doc and they’ll have AI condense the main points. Being so anti-AI I am blown away at how casually people discuss and use it 😭

Their idea of “can’t afford it.”
A tweet from the Democrats’ official account includes a chart titled “MATH” with a Republican elephant logo. The chart contrasts what Republicans “CAN AFFORD” versus what they “CAN’T AFFORD.”
Can afford: $40B bailout for Argentina, Trump’s golden ballroom, Qatar jet upgrades, National Guard takeover.
Can’t afford: Health care for Americans, children’s cancer research, SNAP/WIC benefits, and special education programs.

Really well put! AI sucks, of course, but it is the latest of thousands of insidious ways that EdTech grifters have attempted to destroy labor within education. EdTech has been successfully destroying universities and K-12 education for at least 30 years, to the cheers of donors and idiots!

Ideal conditions for starting your passion project will never come. You will never feel skilled enough to make it. There will never be a moment where you stop being scared to start. Do it anyway. Do it badly. Do it scared. Just make that thing that’s clawing at the door of your soul; It wants out.

I couldn’t make it to a protest today but this block print serves as both a love letter to #TheWheelOfTime and a message to everyone who gathered today to resist our fascist authoritarian regime. #SaveWoT #RenewWoT
A linoleum block print of Siuan Sanche from Prime Video’s The Wheel of Time standing in front of the Amyrlin Seat, shaped as a 7 sided wheel with an intricate lace pattern with a Flame of Tar Valon (half of a yin yang symbol) in the very center. Her hand is outstretched and her words “it is us. Us. We are the power. The light shines through us” are on the print. The linoleum print is in the bottom middle and two rainbow hued prints on white paper are side by side above it.

We need S4 and the full 8 seasons because this story has so much hope, complexity, maturity, and resonance for todayʻs world. It’s more than an escape from reality; it depicts a reality many of us yearn for in terms of acceptance. #TheWheelOfTime #RenewWoT

Bury Your Gays is a specific trope rooted in sadism and the inherent belief that homosexual desire must be punished for its perceived innate sin - that is not what WoT has done w their central lesbian couple, whose love is central to the show's idea of justice and sacrifice

Who wore it best? I have to give credit to my partner who made me make this after commentary from him and my roommate during this stunning Lanfear scene in the season finale 🌙 #TheWheelOfTime #WoTShowSpoilers
Compilation of three images. On the left is an image of Disney’s animated Jafar from Aladdin. He is wearing a large round headpiece and a black and read cloak with large pointy shoulders. The middle image is of Lanfear from Prime video’s The Wheel Of Time. She is wearing a split black headdress and a black robe with large pointy shoulders. On the right is a dilophosaurus from Jurassic Park with a split head and frills extending from its neck. At the top of the image reads “who wore it best?”

For ten years, the Okinawa Prefectural Gov't maintained an office in Washington DC, speaking directly to US lawmakers and others about Okinawa and esp. issues related to the US military presence. The pref has now decided to close the office. I hope it can reopen someday. dc-office.org
Okinawa D.C. Office Newsletter

Final Issue

1. Announcement
Haisai (Hello in the Okinawan Language) to the friends of Okinawa!
It is with deep regret that we must share some sad news in this edition of our newsletter.
Since its establishment in May 2015 by the late Governor Takeshi Onaga, the Okinawa Prefecture
DC Office has served as the official gateway for Okinawa Prefecture in the United States. Over the
past decade, it has played a vital role in conveying Okinawa’s perspectives, building networks with
U.S.-based stakeholders, and promoting mutual understanding and exchange between Okinawa and
the United States. However, as of the end of March 2025, the office ceased its operations.

You all need to treat Harry Potter IP like we’re treating the Tesla brand.
Twitter post/pohoto from JK Rowling who sits on what looks like yacht, taking a puff of what looks like a cigar.  She holds a cocktail close to her face and looks smug as fuck. Text on tweet: I love it when a plan comes together. #SupremeCourt #WomensRights.Text on screen: our.moral.imperative British billionaire JK Rowling has posted several gloating tweets today after the UK
Supreme Court ruled that only 'biological women' legally count as women, excluding trans women from legal protections and safeguards.
Rowling's vicious smear campaign against trans people in Britain has been going on for several years now and has played a major role in cultivating the extremely hostile and toxic environment that exists in the country towards trans people, particularly in the name of liberal 'feminism'.
