New: Reuters has tallied job losses, suspensions and investigations stemming from the reaction to Charlie Kirk's Sept. 10 assassination. Its findings: More than 600 Americans have been punished, and the figure is likely to be an under-count.

Buying used books can be an adventure. You get a book, sure, but sometimes you can also glimpse the personality of the previous owner. For example, I just got a book, where based on the underlining and marginalia, I concluded that the previous owner was an idiot.

Anti-trans policy means surveilling cis women in a culture of gender suspicion.
Closed borders means surveilling natives in a culture of "Papers please" suspicion.
Segregation means surveilling whites to prevent race-mixing and race treason.
Fascism erodes the freedoms even of those not targeted.

The level of surveillance and policing demanded by transphobia will always be more disruptive to your life than the rights and demands of trans people ourselves

Like look at this shit. The Nation accuses Fauci of lying because he says he never read the paper before publication yet told the authors "nice job."

The US government says reading Toni Morrison or Maya Angelou is political.
In my terrorism class, I explain how “Great Replacement” is a false conspiracy theory that’s motivated multiple terrorist attacks. Now that America’s leaders push the theory too, teaching that is political.

AI (like crypto) needs to be properly taxed to reflect the environmental and technological costs.
The Wikimedia Foundation, which owns Wikipedia, says its bandwidth costs have gone up 50% since Jan 2024 — a rise they attribute to AI crawlers.

This is 💯% correct (and reading/sharing it on social media is a bit... ironic?)
“…The viral outrage disseminated on social media actually reduces the effectiveness of collective action. The result is a media environment that keeps us in a state of debilitating fear and anger, endlessly reacting to our oppressors instead of organizing against them.”
