#EdTech professional. Topics I care about: politics (on your left), books (crime, SF, horror, lit), TV, wrestling (AEW, CMLL, fuck WWE), tech, probably other stuff. 3 cats, 1 dog. Dog is smaller than any of the cats. Also, fuck ICE

This is something the Nazis used to do to Jewish children in the camps. It happened to a man I knew when he was a child in Auschwitz. The camp guards thought it was funny as hell.
On Thanksgiving, the immigrant children held at the Dilley detention center gathered in the gym for what they thought was a holiday feast.
The kids salivated over a spread of turkey, sandwiches, pastries and pies, a family told me.
But the food wasn’t for detainees — it was for the staff.

No scene from a book in recent memory has aged as poorly as the one in SevenEves where the obvious Elon Musk analogue sacrifices himself for the good of humanity.
I think the thing that enrages me the most about Musk is that he presents himself as some sci-fi nerd hero doing everything possible to save humanity by going to new planets.
If your plan for saving humanity doesn’t include the people already on earth, you’re just a racist piece of shit.

As a direct result of the obscene actions of Russell Vought and Elon Musk in destroying USAID, we can expect “at least 9.4 million additional deaths by 2030, if the current funding trend continues.
About 2.5 million of those deaths are projected to be children under the age of 5.”

One week left to watch one of the best Netflix originals.
This week is your last chance to watch (or rewatch) She-Ra and the Princesses of Power before Netflix deletes it on 20th Feb.
One of my favourite shows - animated or otherwise - of the last ten years.

I'm old enough to remember the existence of Elizabeth Warren, presidential candidate
I am SO ready to get behind a candidate with a strong anti-corruption, anti-plutocrat platform
It's kind of insane: the obvious lane open today in US politics is fiery left populism that vows to restrain & discipline the Epstein class ... but our only left party is run by that same class & its quisling pundits! Something is gonna break.

We were joking about Cameos at work, and I ended up going down a #AEW Cameo rabbit hole, and you can get Cameos from Darby, Statdaddy, and Kyle Fletcher and still pay less than a single Cameo from DMD.

But don't be fooled. Upholding white supremacy is the backbone of the Christian right.
They will never leave him. They just want him to be slightly more coded about racism.

"We brought our kids to Pedophile Island but didn't leave them there" is a flex of some sort.
VAN HOLLEN: Did you in fact make the visit to Epstein's private island?
LUTNICK: I did have lunch w/ him as I was on a boat going across on a family vacation. My wife was with me as were my 4 children and nannies. We had lunch on the island. That's true. For an hour. We left with all of my children

Logged on to FB only to see someone who's vocally anti-ICE and anti-MAGA posting "go Pats."
I'd say that's a reason to avoid FB, but it's probably a reason to avoid talking to anyone in Boston in the winter.
