⚠️WOKE CONTENT⚠️

🧵 Today, we're going to learn about The USS Sumter Three — and the mutiny charges that should never have happened. It's apropos for #BlackHistoryMonth—because most people never knew about it.

Thousands of institutions abandoned programs, ended or rewrote scholarships, closed down clubs and publications, all in pre-emptive compliance.

And you know why?

Mostly because they wanted to do it if they thought they could blame someone else for it.
BREAKING: The Department of Education has ended its directive that attempted to restrict diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts in schools nationwide.

This is a victory for academic freedom and education equity.

Marty’s photo of the day #4965: I took several photos in the Galapagos Islands that I consider particularly artsy. These swallow-tailed gulls fit into that category. I think this image looks more like a painting than an actual photograph.

They also did it in Charlottesville. I know a lot of people thought her death would move the political needle but they are just going to call her a race traitor in their little groups just like they did white protesters during the height of the Civil Rights movement. These people love to hate.
This is the kind of thing white supremacists have been doing to Emmett Till’s memorial for decades.

It’s wild to see them do this to a white woman who the entire world saw extrajudicially murdered.
Someone doused Renee Good’s Minneapolis memorial and a nearby pile of wood with gasoline and started a fire at about 9 p.m. Tuesday.

If you don’t read old stuff you’ll never discover that people in the olden days had the same thoughts and feelings and dreams and anxieties you do, sometimes articulated differently, sometimes exactly the same way. You are never truly alone in anything and old writings are a neon sign telling you so
Meanwhile, on threads, which actually is like what people on twitter think bluesky is like, a "teacher, author, poet" speaks...

Good afternoon. More Carlsbad Caverns photos later.

We spent last night at Cloudcroft Grand Hotel in Lincoln Natl Forest NM ski country. Ski lodge vibes. Highly recommend.

Hearty food and a collection of hundreds of cookie jars next door at Rusty Boot Cafe.

This guy (@glutelord.bsky.social) is correct about a lot of the discourse around "looksmaxxing" and so much of guys' ideas of what men should look like, and he should keep saying it.

Less vertical farming, more urban greening? You can't feed the building with plants growing on it, but you can cool it and the neighborhood a bit
The problem is that the people who get super into vertical farming always seem to be way more into the tech than the plants, and want much faster results than plant trials, which literally take years. Or they buy into the hype and start raving about corn on the sides of skyscrapers.

"Is there technology the left is excited about?" is the kind of question you only ask if you're wildly naive about technology.

mRNA vaccines. Heat pumps. Offshore wind. Urban mining. Sodium batteries.

But god forbid we're not fawning over every new implementation of Making Computers Bad At Math.

I've long thought that the final test for nuclear waste warning messages was to use them in TTRPG campaigns until you found one that made the players decide not to go into a cave with that message on a sign in front of it.

Vague idea for a TTRPG campaign: All Regulations Are Written in Blood

PCs are field agents in charge of finding and dealing with arcane occupational safety violations. That six-sided summoning pentagram? Flagged. That storeroom where the universal solvent is next to the lemonade? Flagged.

i have come to the view that there is an extent to which elites are projecting the salience of bigotry on the broad public. *they* are preoccupied with this stuff and so they imagine the public must be obsessed with it.
