One girl said “it doesn’t matter if you ban a book because everyone can find that information online” and then I blew their minds by talking about how your search history can be monitored and sold to the government without your permission, but your library borrowing history requires a warrant.

It is genuinely incredible to me how much evidence there is to support investing in the public good and how much animus there is to do this simple, effective thing.

"Art is supposed to make you feel something, and I began to realize my appearance was my art. My body, my face, my scars told a story – my story. But I guess that’s how life works sometimes – noticing beauty only in retrospect and poetry, in silence."

I was a socially and politically ignorant teen for both of these “scandals” and all I can remember is how those two women were treated by the media. I swear there was more coverage of cigars, a blue dress, and Coke cans than their humanity.
The reason why most women my age couldn't care less if Bill Clinton goes down with the ship is that we were teens & young women when the Anita Hill and Monica Lewinsky scandals happened. It's rotten to the core. All the way down. Your "lost" era is not ours.
Seriously, what is wrong with these people?

It just feels like everything is being flattened. Rape, genocide, wildfires, etc etc is all just fodder for internet discourse rather than turning points that lead to… something, anything better or different.
It’s so true. It’s actually horrifying to see the memes and jokes about this.

One key aspect of acceptance is the willingness to fully prostrate yourself for the leader.

This is still the best (and funniest) explainer I’ve seen for these cults from Rogan to Musk to Trump.

If you have to get permission to teach in your area of expertise from people who are definitionally not qualified to adjudicate your expertise then you are no longer working at a university.

You’re working at a state propaganda factory.

this is actually really something. The NY Times stuff is bonkers.
As all this disgusting Epstein shit starts surfacing more and more, I hope we don't lose sight of the fact that apparently every major media outlet knew everything and instead spent their time money and energy attacking the trans community.

It’s a good time to remember that, if we started from believing the women who came forward, we wouldn’t need the Epstein files.

Jake Tapper once flipped the fuck out on me because I suggested that he would have normalized the hell out of Hitler and the Holocaust and everything happening today proves I was absolutely correct.

I once saw LeVar Burton call someone out on Twitter. That's the final boss of embarrassment.

I would just die if the man who essentially taught me how to read said something negative about me.
I really hope I never attract the attention of Joyce Carol Oates, Kendrick Lamar, or menswear guy.

I hate that ESPN continues to force this loser on us (and also Trump).

Just like the ones who moved to New Orleans complaining about the corner bars and second lines.
This one? (If so, thanks for alerting me to it.)

There are some interesting cases from the 1910s-1930s of white people using the law of public nuisance to sue Black residents, especially Black churches, for being too noisy.

That was gentrification too (trying to erase Black neighborhoods).

The sound of gentrification is silence.
