Hos way before bros. Who is out here picking bros? Have you seen bros lately? Respect to hos for your professionalism towards bros, I could not do that.

The distance between what is in happening Gaza, fully backed with US dollars and political support, and the reaction of American politicians who by and large just don’t seem to care or support it is just completely brain-breaking.

I'm not teaching my grad course 'Civil Resistance: How It Works' this semester. But here is an abridged version of the course schedule, readings, and films I used the last time I taught it (in 2022). Just in case it's useful. drive.google.com/file/d/14RRJ...

Trump’s anti-trans Executive Order is bad BUT it technically defines everyone as female. It states:

“'Female' means a person belonging, at conception, to the sex that produces the large reproductive cell."

Since all fetuses "at conception" are female, Trump just defined EVERYONE as female.

The thing I said they were going to do a month ago has now turned into a summary of Trump's actual executive order.

So this is my reminder that we know what they are going to do and how because they say so.
First, they will say “oh, we fully support the 14th amendment, a very great amendment, which says that everyone who is born in and subject to the jurisdiction of the United States is a citizen, but what does it MEAN to be subject to the jurisdiction of the US?”

I love this so much!

At the inauguration, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson wore a distinctive collar adorned with cowrie shells, which are believed to offer protection from evil in African traditions.

This choice mirrors the late Justice Ginsburg’s practice of using collars to convey a message.

At top schools like MIT, men earn #computerscience and #engineering degrees at 1.5x the rate of women. At less selective schools, that ratio jumps to 7.1x, a sorry statistic that has more than doubled since 2002. An #economics professor explores the trend: https://buff.ly/4jaexWQ 🧪#WomenInScience
Gender balance in computer science and engineering is improving at elite universities but getting worse elsewhere
Women in these fields are almost at parity with men at the most selective schools, but the gender gap doubled at many of the least selective universities.

The world’s richest 1% have more wealth than the bottom 95% put together, according to Oxfam.

There is no moral justification for this extraordinary level of inequality.

It's distorting politics, rigging our markets, and granting unprecedented power to a handful of people.
World’s top 1% own more wealth than 95% of humanity, as “the shadow of global oligarchy hangs over UN General Assembly,” says Oxfam | Oxfam International

Not a musician but I can confirm this
This year my music got 96,000 streams on Spotify and had 46,000 listeners and I made… $185.61. Total.

This is indefensible. Truly an evil company. I totally get why people enjoy using Spotify, but if you want to support musicians, please consider buying our stuff on Bandcamp once in awhile. 💚

Is it just me, or does this have a bit of a Douglas Adams feel to it?
