I cited actual Kirk quotes where he calls Black women less intelligent, demonizes me for being Muslim, & dehumanizes LGBTQ people—& his supporters are upset at me for “speaking evil of the dead.”
If quoting him is “speaking evil” maybe ask yourself why you followed someone who believed evil things.

New Mexico's economy is a fraction of the size of New York City's.
If they can enact universal childcare — and relieve working families of a crushing cost burden — surely we can too.
It's just a question of political will.

New Mexico will be the first state to make child care free
The program, which is expected to save families $12,000 per child annually, is available to all residents regardless of income.

there is a level of privilege in being able to praise him as a “family man”
you know who else are / were family men and women and children? All the marginalized people he wished harm on & railed against

I said something last week that is more broadly applicable today:
Calling for empathy is not neutral or apolitical when only one group of people have been socialized and brutalized into having empathy.

Hey @octranspo.com, which stop does the 105 St-Laurent depart from at Hurdman?
Signage says "B" but I have seen more than one today stopping at "D" and opening their doors. Easy way for riders to get mixed up and miss the bus!

An 11-year-old will be charged the same thing as me, an adult with a full-time job, for a month of transit access?
And you KNOW most of their trips are to school and back. A required destination.
The youth pass was already too expensive; children should be able to afford to take the bus.

The women-only dating safety app Tea leaks over 70,000 private images, ID docs, private DMs, and a dash of 4chan creepiness. Yikes.
Plus, Carole takes us down memory lane as she hangs up her co-host mic after 428 glorious episodes. Expect tea, tears, and Tom Lehrer

We have talked about how gambling has been mainstreamed. I want to add something about how auctions have infected so many consumer interactions. It is probably because white tech bros’ second sons got into sneaker culture but it’s now everything. Sign up for “a chance” to buy a coffee or a shirt

I gotta say I find a lot of AI discourse around higher ed very confusing. "if ChatGPT can write your essays is college even worth it?" did people think math teachers were assigning problem sets because *they* couldn't figure out the answers?
