The main reason why ad-blockers became ubiquitous, hastening the death of ad-supported journalism, is because adtech couldn't just be chill. No, they created a mass surveillance ecosystem that tracked your every move online and made sites unusable to boot.

bad management or no, this is a big reason why publication after publication is shutting down and why many of the remainders have shifted to a subscription focus

The closure of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion programs at the University of #Texas at Austin have been an unmitigated catastrophe for students and faculty, according to this new OpEd from two college professors:
Anti-DEI Law Implementation Has Been a Disaster
Kowtowing to the legislature, UT Austin disbanded all its diversity, equity, and inclusion programs wholesale—with little input from students or faculty.

Less than three months after Israel pretended to be outraged that we would say it attacked a hospital, the IDF is attacking the last fully functional hospital in Gaza. Three month ago, there were 36.

getting intimately involved with someone new really rubs salt on the open wounds of your biggest insecurities 😭 questioning every other word and going into shame spirals about shit I didn’t say right etc. and it’s not even a bad thing, it’s just like a normal phenomenon but still

Oh hey look. It's a right wing nationalist leader who attempted a coup, consistently blames his and the nation's woes on George Soros, and claims that his movement is being "stabbed in the back" by his opponents who are communists. The rhetoric is vaguely familiar.
![Seth,
Behind closed doors, disloyal Republicans (or RINOs, as we call them) have finally admitted and accepted that they cannot beat us in a free and fair primary.
So now, they have a new plan of attack.
They’re willing to sell their souls by making a pact with the Communist Democrats to invoke the 14th Amendment to try and make me ineligible to be the 47th President.

But let me be clear: this is not an attack on me.
This is an attack on our Republic.
It’s an attack on YOUR very sacred right to vote.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:miczfsfixolk42l7343z3bpd/bafkreiflahbyp2nomcyp5afoha32uzo5fxywg76aoo6kn2s6gx2s6vrbxm@jpeg)

These graphics of Israel-Hamas posts on X-Twitter really shows what has happened. The bigger the circle, the more views a post got. Regular media (blue) dwarfed by the Musk-enabled shitposters in yellow. Any traditional media still on Twitter is being suckered www.cip.uw.edu/2023/10/20/n...

my trans and nonconforming friends have been way more accepting and affirming of how I present myself as cis woman than ANYONE else has done. most cishet women side-eye other cis women that don’t conform to the gender performance (which — for themselves, can’t seem to find a way to break free from)
I think that there are a few things cis people can learn from trans people like. in general. such as:
you can name yourself whatever you want. go ahead, it's fun.
you can actually wear whatever you want.
you can get a little goofy with presentation and still be whatever you want.
