The decline of right wing cultural production is just due to the fact that they don’t like culture, they like the signifiers of culture, ie “classic sculpture means white people are better.” They don’t like art at all except for this purpose. They don’t even like the nerd stuff they whine about

most all prisons in the states already provide what is just shy of free labor and many companies take advantage of that. In some states “low risk” incarcerated individuals regularly work at restaurants, are paid far below minimum wage, and have to reimburse the prison for transportation 1/2

There's a phenomenon where, whenever something becomes sufficiently female-coded, men no longer want to be associated (see for instance: higher ed). I think this has a role in our current Dem coalition, which is predominantly led by women. And it just makes masculine-insecure guys freak out a lil.

There is a Kinda Guy that is absolutely gaga for Gruff-Aesthetic White Guy Who Says Kinda Lefty Things. Their love for this is *not* strategic or instrumental to some end, such a person is an object of intrinsic attraction to them, and a strong one at that. They will rationalise anything for this.
I also am baffled that people are assuming this super checkered barely known guy will be super progressive as though we're not living in a post Fetterman universe.
It's nuts that these are the two candidates the respective wings of the Maine Dems have coughed up. I am positive there are, somewhere in the state, a moderate who's not 97 years old and a progressive who doesn't have nazi tattoos.

I'm reading someone's academic paper on the early feminist internet and something about it is making me feel serious icks. It is giving me big objectification vibes in how it treats the participants in the subject matter the author is writing about.

Some of us hopped online in the 90s and 2000s 'cause it was FUN to chat with people all over the world... for free!

Of roughly 7,000 global languages, only a handful are thriving digitally, with a mere 10 languages making up 82% of all internet content. This disparity is the core challenge for content moderation write Sujata Mukherjee and Sasha Maria Mathew. Measurement is part of the solution, they say.

"Racist people are firing and laying off Black women at three times the rate of other women."

😬Yikes! It sounds bad when you say it like that!

"Black women are losing jobs at 3 times the rate."

Much better! Makes it sound like the Black women just need to be more careful or better at their jobs!
Black Women Are Losing Jobs At Three Times The Rate Of Other Women | Essence
New labor data shows Black women accounted for a disproportionate share of job losses across 2025, especially in federal, education, and care-sector roles.

Local immigrant defense networks were deluged with life and death cases. They put a call out for private lawyers to step in and provide pro bono help.

My firm did. And since we joined the effort on January 14, it’s been some of the hardest, most exhausting, most depressing month of my life.

I've been trying to find and read the original, contemporary sources in the debate about intersectionality in the early feminist internet and the way that the Hugo Schwyzer debacle exposed some serious fault lines there, but it's proving to be somewhat difficult to access a lot of that content.

Trump eyes passport travel ban for parents with unpaid bills.

The number of people who could be affected was not immediately clear.

The first group to be affected will be passport holders who owe more than $100,000 in past-due child support, the officials said

I bet this hurts MAGA hard.🤣😂
