I know that politicians absolutely need to offer a deeper vision than "we're not Republicans" in order to secure people's votes, but really, at this point, that could even just be "…and we'll fix what they broke (and what was broken before they started)" or even just "We'll Put A Stop To All This."
The EPA is starting to allow the use of pesticides containing PFAS on food. The move is part of an effort to roll back the regulation of PFAS — also known as "forever chemicals" because they don't break down easily in the environment.

One of the many things I love about Bob's Burgers is how unabashedly pro-LGBTQIA+ it is. Not just, like, "friendly," or "tolerant," or "ally"-ish, but full-on "Throw a Massive Underground Queer Rave To Demonstrate The Spirit of Christmas" pro-queer. And I just… really appreciate that.

do you have any idea how much you have to piss somebody off to make them change their gauge
#Finland will begin to #Russia - proof its rail network, integrate with EU train infrastructure.
The Finnish government has announced the conversion of its rail network from Russian gauge (1,524 mm) to European standard (1,435 mm).

Oh my god that is so much money to manufacture consent for something that so many people do not want, and on which they have bet so much money and infrastructure. Holy shit. The popping of this "AI" bubble is gonna be such a nightmare.
The deal will create the government’s first AI high-performance computing infrastructure, adding nearly 1.3 gigawatts of capacity.

The fully open study guide assignment format is a lot of extra work for me to grade but it's honestly worth it because I get students making stuff like tarot decks, D&D campaigns, bespoke Yu-Gi-Oh cards, and carefully repurposed and photoshopped manga.

I might argue that Q and other cult-like and conspiratorial mindsets aren't about the "self" as hooks is writing here, but about the "other," and how "they" are contra to an established meaning of/within the world.
caveat: not a hooks scholar, and still need to read more of their work.

Thinking about this concept structure for a lot of reasons, right now
“queer not as being about who you’re having sex with (that can be a dimension of it); but queer as being about the self that is at odds with everything around it and has to invent and create and find a place to speak and to thrive and to live.” -bell hooks

I really wish the US had actually listened to Chumbawumba's lyrics rather than just half-hearing "Tubthumping" and then relegating them to drunk-at-a-bar music. Like… Even on that album (their eighth, btw), there's levels & layers of class, anti-racist, feminist, & queer-conscious themes.
So good.

January this year was the 30th anniversary of the airing of "Past Tense." Currently rewatching and thinking of it in relation to Octavia E. Butler's 'Parables' novels. (Also thinking about how they thought that a tech CEO in 2024 would have to get *Rid* of his tattoos in order to be successful.)
We sit On the In-Universe Dates of DS9's "Past Tense" and one year out from the 30th anniversary of DS9's "Past Tense" (oof), and this would've been a great year to get @roberthewittwolfe.bsky.social Avery Brooks, Siddig el Faddil, & Terry Farrell on a Dragon Con stage to reflect on these episodes.
So. Who's got the pictures of all the people in DS9 era starfleet uniforms in San Francisco, today?
