NYT writing about how The Stranger became a political powerhouse without talking to @ericacbarnett.bsky.social @joshfeit.bsky.social or @mudede.bsky.social is extreme journalistic malpractice. Before they came along, it was a nightlife weekly with funny sex advice

the problem with the left handing democrats a loaded gun tonight to take back to the negotiating table is that they absolutely can not be trusted with a firearm.

Everyone employee deserves to work in a non-toxic respectful environment where they’re paid enough to enjoy their lives. That shouldn’t be a “perk” of a good company.

Dr. Hagopian was kind enough to sit down and talk with me for almost an hour about this. You may find it interesting

Higher Ed in 2025 is opening your mailbox to see that your institution has sent you:

1. A Center for Teaching and Learning call to integrate AI into your classroom; and

2. An Office of Academic Integrity email encouraging you to crack down on students who use AI to cheat.

it's only racial profiling if it comes from the racial profiling region of france. otherwise it's sparkling reasonable suspicion.
McLaughlin: "Pritzker said there's racial profiling, which is absolutely false. Our officials use reasonable suspicion. That's protected under the US Constitution 4th Amendment."

Let me get this straight: Link, a Black user, got banned for calling out the Bluesky CEO for following a racist. That’s not a good look, especially given Bluesky’s historical treatment of Black users here on bluesky.

Quick reminder that fascism is almost always obsessed with the aesthetics of the male body—sculpted, uniformed, disciplined.
Hegseth: "It all starts with physical fitness and appearance. If the secretary of war can do regular hard PT, so can every member of our joint force. Frankly, it's tiring to look out at combat formations and see fat troops. Likewise, it's completely unacceptable to see fat generals and admirals."

“'This tendency to fantasize—when times change and things aren’t what they were—that the poorest and most vulnerable are actually some sort of malicious freeloading class is a very old one,' medievalist @elisewang.bsky.social ... pointed out on Bluesky."
To many, the notion that the “able-bodied” must work sounds reasonable on its face. But in reality, work requirements don’t ­meaningfully boost employment.

And for people with invisible disabilities that can make work extremely challenging, the framework can unfairly cast them as lazy.

Wondering what image will be on my personalized Antifa address stickers.
I know for a fact that Antifa is not an organization because I don't get emails from them asking for money.

Concerning.

And very sad to see our national data resources degraded.

Thank goodness for the archivists.

I have approximately zero following on this app, sharing in the hopes it can get in front of the right person. A man I went to college with’s wife was kidnapped by ICE at a green card hearing, and he’s trying to find a reporter who will speak to him about the situation
