People always say cyclists need to be more afraid of cars, because in a collision, the car wins. It doesn't have to be like that. We can _both_lose. Followed by a picture of a propane tank strapped to a bicycle

Sooo here's a little public records request I just made to the University of Oklahoma.
Screenshot of an email draft titled “Subject: FORMAL OPEN RECORDS REQUEST – Administrative Communications Concerning Incident Referenced in OU’s Nov. 30, 2025 Public Statement.” The message is addressed to “Dear Records Officer” and requests administrative communications related to an incident referenced in the University of Oklahoma’s November 30, 2025 public statement on X/Twitter. The requester cites the Oklahoma Open Records Act and specifies that relevant records include emails, memoranda, meeting notes, text messages, and messaging-app communications from the Offices of the President, Provost, Legal Counsel, Dean of Arts & Sciences, Chair of Psychology, Public Affairs, and the Office of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. The date range requested is November 1, 2025 to present. The subject-matter scope includes internal discussions of the incident, public messaging, instructor supervision, policy processes, external interactions, and crisis-response planning. The request emphasizes that student education records are excluded and directs that any incidental student information should be redacted while releasing all non-exempt portions. Production requirements call for electronic records, rolling production, itemized estimates for fees, and specific statutory citations for any withheld material. A statutory reminder notes that the Act must be liberally construed in favor of public access, that the University bears the burden of proving exemptions, and that redaction—not withholding—is required. The message closes by thanking the recipient and noting expectation of timely response under Oklahoma law.

if you ask students to list the causes of the Irish famine and they just say “the Irish are demonic” can you really not fail that kid?

if this is discrimination, I’m genuinely unsure what you’re supposed to do when a student responds to a prompt with some religious gibberish

Even worse the instructor then. They don't even have actual protections of the job. They're just being sacrificed by the Uni to save the feelings of TPUSA folks.

OU has put the professor here on administrative leave:
The University of Oklahoma takes seriously concerns involving First Amendment rights, certainly including religious freedoms. Upon receiving notice from the student on the grading of an assignment, the University immediately began a full review of the situation and has acted swiftly to address the matter. First, the college acted immediately to address the academic issue raised by the student. College leaders contacted her on the day her letter was received and have maintained regular communication throughout the process. As previously stated, a formal grade appeals process was conducted. The process resulted in steps to ensure no academic harm to the student from the graded assignments. Second, the student reported filing a claim of illegal discrimination based on religious beliefs to the appropriate university office. OU has a clear process for reviewing such claims and it has been activated. The graduate student instructor has been placed on administrative leave pending the finalization of this process. To ensure fairness in the process, a full-time professor is serving as the course instructor for the remainder of the semester. OU remains firmly committed to fairness, respect and protecting every student's right to express sincerely held religious beliefs. The UNIVERSITY of OKLAHOMA

idk not to mention how very nuanced and normal the actual response here was
Trans Professors comment Mel Curth (She/They) November 16, 2025 at 2:04 PM Please note that I am not deducting points because you have certain beliefs, but instead I am deducting point for you posting a reaction paper that does not answer the questions for this assignment, contradicts itself, heavily uses personal ideology over empirical evidence in a scientific class, and is at times offensive. While you are entitled to your own personal beliefs, there is an appropriate time or place to implement them in your reflections. I encourage all students to question or challenge the course material with other empirical findings or testable hypotheses, but using your own personal beliefs to argue against the findings of not only this article, but the findings of countless articles across psychology, biology, sociology, etc. is not best practice. You argue that abiding by normative gender roles is beneficial (it is perfectly fine to believe this. but to then say that evervone should act TPUSA OU Trans Professors comment the same, while also saying that people aren't pressured into gendered expectations is contradictory, especially since your arguments reflect a religious pressure to act in gender-stereotypical ways. You can say that strict gender norms don't create gender stereotypes, but that isn't true by definition of what a stereotype is. Please note that acknowledging gender stereotypes does not immediately denote a negative connotation, a nuance this article discusses. Additionally, to call an entire group of people "demonic" is highly offensive, especially a minoritized population. You are entitled to your own beliefs, but this isn't a vague narrative of "society pushes lies," but instead the result of countless years developing psychological and scientific evidence for these claims and directly interacting with the communities involved. You may personally disagree with this, but that TPUSA OU 2 Trans Professors comment doesn't change the fact that every major psychological, medical, pediatric, and psychiatric association in the United States acknowledges that, biologically and psychologically, sex and gender is neither binary nor fixed. I implore you apply some more perspective and empathy in your work. If you personally disagree with the findings, then by all means share your criticisms, but make sure to do so in a way that is appropriate and using the methodology of empirical psychology, as aligned with the learning goals in this class. If you have any additional questions or concerns about this or would like some additional educational resources, I would be happy to discuss this further and provide you with them. 3 TPUSA OU Additional professor Megan Waldron (She/Her/Hers) November 16, 2025 at 3:09 PM Samantha, I am the other instructor for this course, and I have also taken the time to read your paper. I concur with Mel on the grade you received. This paper should not be considered as a completion of the assignment. Everyone has different ways in which they see the world, but in an academic course such as this you are being asked to support your ideas with empirical evidence and higher-level reasoning. I find it concerning that you state at the beginning of your paper that you do not think bullying ("teasing") is a bad thing. In addition, your paper directly and harshly criticizes your peers and their opinions, which are just as valuable as yours. Disagreeing with others is fine, but there is a respectful way to go about it. That goes for discussion posts as well as reaction papers. Please employ more thoughtfulness in your future assignments TPUSA OU

Dwayne McDuffie (a black writer, it should be said) included "The Brown Bomber" as an alternate version of Black Lightning in a realm created by Anansi the Spider as a joke about this.
Comic book panels from Justice League of America #26. A black man with an afro talks to Vixen. Brown Bomber: What's happenin' baby? Meet the Brown Bomber! I only have powers when I turn black, or should I say African American? Anyway, the only last for one hour. I call it "C.P.T." Brown Bomber and Vixen look at each other for a silent panel, then -- Vixen: No. You absolutely can't.

Being anti crypto isn’t being anti-tech. Being anti-open ai isn’t being anti-tech.

It’s like saying anti-ride share is anti-transportation or being anti-wework is anti-real estate like no these are industries that have been fully captured by duplicitous bad actors and require intense regulations

“Why get scammed when you can be a scammer?”
what if instead of being anti-tech to a degree that isn't winnable, those who have (sometimes very legitimate) concerns instead chose to empower themselves through technology instead of resisting it? could this be anything? onion person @junlper.beer • 4d i think tech and ai positive people are going to be in for a big shock when anti tech and anti ai sentiment becomes a major part of leftwing politics going forward especially as datacenters continue to destroy communities and raise electricity bills
