It’s wild how the RICHEST and most POWERFUL men in the world simply cannot stand it that ordinary little mundanes like us just DON’T LIKE THEM.

No shock. This app has turned my mentions, and others, into mostly hate. But there are a few people worth connecting with

If you’re wondering why your friends in academia are a little on edge right now, it’s because an eighteen-year-old who hasn’t done the reading, doesn’t look at the assignment, and has does no critical thinking skills more complex than “because I think it’s in the Bible” can literally end your career
The University of Oklahoma has removed an instructor who was accused by a student of religious discrimination over a failing grade on a psychology paper in which she cited the Bible and argued that promoting a “belief in multiple genders” was “demonic.” https://cnn.it/4b6g3rd

Honestly, as someone who loves the Oscars, watches it every year, and has YouTube but not cable, this change is smart and makes sense. I’m sorry!
LOS ANGELES (AP) — The Oscars will move to YouTube in 2029, departing the film awards' longtime home of ABC.

This is why big protests like No Kings are important, even if it can be hard to trace specific effects back to them. Everything is a feedback loop. Silence begets silence, speaking up encourage speaking up.
Two social dynamics make this work: 1️⃣pluralistic ignorance (people privately disagree but think they’re alone) and 2️⃣the spiral of silence (when people think they’re alone, they stay quiet). The quieter most of us are, the more it looks like “everyone” backs illiberal moves.
