An issue we're seeing at all levels of university is that many students are simply refusing to do *anything*. They aren't reading the syllabus, aren't following assignment guidelines, aren't engaging with material, ignoring deadlines. And this might seem like old news, but it truly has ramped up.

Forget which specific thing around 2003 gave me that realization. It is a painful one. Kinda forced me to drop a lot of ideals and focus on just "making it so people who i think will do things I like get power"

we just need stupider leftists. I'm dead serious. charismatic guys with the stamina to record 100 instagram reels a week in the front seat of their car saying stuff like "trump made summers too hot" and "the fries at wendy's taste better ever since they went woke"

Should note that the secessionist & mass murdering terrorists of kkk & white citizens councils also retained their property, citizenship, and official govt positions after treason so, this is a normal U.S. reaction to racial reckoning. The question is how to escape the Groundhog Day loop?
We had one, it was called Black Lives Matter and since then we had the most virulent counterreaction to any movement since Reconstruction
That Daniel Penny and Daniel Perry and Kyle Rittenhouse and George Zimmerman are all walking around free in the most carceral nation in the world is something that demands a reckoning.

We should be specific when we say "tech", whether we mean the fascist overlords, or some kid who works at an Apple Store. The folks who organized unions at Amazon and Google are people, too, and are more _tech_ than any of the tycoons.
the only reason that tech was ever remotely left-coded was that in the early 2010s they consciously aligned themselves with what appeared to be the dominant political party. that meant large donations to Dems and nominal gestures toward diversity. as soon as the winds shifted they swung right.

When you worship power, compassion and mercy will look like sins.
When you worship power, the harsher the treatment towards your "enemies," the more righteous it will look.
When you worship power, the value and dignity of others is solely measured by their conformity to you.

Reoccurring thing I keep seeing people say is 'why should I care about other people'.
I'm not going to give a lecture about morality or the virtues of kindness because someone asking that is not going to be moved by 'doing the right thing'. So I'm giving a different answer: pragmatism.

Modern far-right movements are coalescing around the belief that empathy and compassion themselves are immoral. They're employing quasi-religious nonsense like the thing below to spread this doctrine.

LinkedIn is going to be the first social network where more than half of the accounts, posts, and comments are all fake. And that's beautiful to me
Analysis finds over 54% of longer English-language posts on LinkedIn are likely AI-generated; LinkedIn says it doesn't track how many posts are created by AI (Kate Knibbs/Wired)

She thinks she’s the victim because her high schooler told her he’s not allowed to say “r*tard” at school.
She’s absolutely indignant. She thinks it’s her right to throw slurs at special needs kids.

after another long day of browsing old court documents, i just want to remind everyone that if a stranger agrees to do something illegal with you and they keep asking you to say out loud what the illegal plan is, that’s because the officer is recording you.

now I'm picturing another Twitter clone called Spectacle where the Retweet button is called the Respect button
They'd probably try to call tweets something sane and the userbase would call them Postacles. And not in the rhyming with Heracles way.
...hmm, anyone got a few million lying around?

We are going to hear a lot of “when I voted for Trump, I didn’t vote *for Trump,*” and please pray for me because I know we need every hand on deck and can’t afford to alienate potential defectors but it will take God’s power to stop me from saying “yes you did, that’s what VOTING FOR TRUMP means!”
And yeah, we *know* you did it as a "protest", we *know* you were "worried about how the country was going", we *know* you "don't agree with Trump on a lot of things", you still fuckin' voted for the guy.
