1. We are ruled by a group of pedophiles that I refuse to call a cabal because cabals work in the fucking shadows, this was all out in the open. The entire ruling class knew what was happening they talked about it openly and none of them cared.

Again it’s not good that the most prominent leaders of the party keep insisting it’s a trap to talk about “identity” when the Trump administration is pushing white supremacy.
Speaking at a Texas Tribune Festival on Friday, former U.S. Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg criticized the Democratic Party for failing to reach everyday Americans, arguing that it “got sucked in” to a conversation about identity. #TribFest25
Pete Buttigieg critiques Democrats for focus on identity
The former U.S. transportation secretary said the Democratic Party should focus more on issues gripping the country, such as health care and housing affordability.

As an expert in the philosophical, social, & historical implications of technology allow me to explicate how self-referentially arguing that, in spite of its harms, "AI" is necessary because it will be necessary thus a) amounts to a continual cock gargling of the "AI" industry & b) is bad news bears

…And that "at all costs" model in turn seems to be founded on the circular argument that "we have to use 'AI' so that/because it will be useful."
Which… yeah, no.

Instead, we need nuanced criticality to question how, when, & perhaps more crucially *Whether* we should make & use "AI" tools, at all.

People are *still* dying from Covid they caught at work but corporations don’t care and will do nothing about it bc they don’t have to 👇

It’s up to us to demand clean air, paid sick days, RATs, masks, WFH accommodations… or you’re just giving your corporate overlords consent to maim & murder you 😷
And they will almost certainly not get wrongful death suits because courts have already ruled wrongful death suits due to the pandemic are too great an economic burden for the corporations and the country. But I hope someone gets clever and figures out a way around that.

It really seems like this administration is trying to eliminate the field of public health. MPHs and DrPHs will no longer be considered "professional degrees" by the DOE and, therefore, will face limits to accessing federal student loans.

I believe one reason for their disdain for public health is that it is based on and recognizes our interconnectedness as human beings, as inhabitants of this earth, in direct contrast to the dominant culture's emphasis on individualism.

Such an important point, from p. 11 of Jim Ryan's letter (link below). Universities, law firms, & NGOs have been inundated w EOs & other demands since Jan. 20th insisting that they cease any behavior inconsistent w the "president's priorities." But the president is not the law, not in this country!

Gatekeeping an accessibility resource behind required submission of your info to a marketing database is quite a choice. Is the accessibility resource actually accessible? Is this a marketing play or do you really want to improve the accessibility landscape?

(I should add that I was investigated for changing the course content after students could drop/add & exonerated by the faculty review committee, which Dean Charles Whitaker ignored. But student snitch culture on what is appropriate to be taught is merging w administrative authoritarianism.)
