I talk about politics, academia, LGBTQ rights and other social justice issues. Occasionally sports.
I do not have patience for centrists and nihilists. We deserve good things. We will demand them, and we will see them.

It makes me sad and incredibly angry to see the hate Amber Glenn has received. I,and so many more in the LGBT community, appreciate her transparency and representation more than she could ever know.

I feel like we all kinda hahaed and moved past the whole NBC sensored the world booing our vice president such that the US now knows a different reality than the rest of the world. I think that's probably a bad thing that we should collectively be more concerned about.

The thing that drives me most crazy about all these AI ads is the illusion that if you use AI you’ll magically have extra time at work to do more exciting/relaxing/important things. When in reality, offloading ur tasks to AI jeopardizes the need for your employment at said job 😤

I'm convinced AI is our generation's radium - a discovery with genuinely useful applications in specific, controlled circumstances that we stupidly put in everything from kid's toys to toothpaste until we realised the harm far too late where future generations will ask if we were out of our minds.

It was transforming the biggest NFL stage in the world into a sugar cane plantation that did it for me.
Like, the multiple layers of turning an American icon into a plantation and highlighting the history of exploitation of Black and Brown bodies by the NFL and American colonialism simultaneously?

Are the AI commercials supposed to make AI appealing? Because it's all just making me less and less interested. They're all basically like "You used to think, care, and create, now you can ask AI to do that for you"

An administrator told them to leave, saying BYU is “politically neutral,” and that if they refused they would be arrested.

The entire DOJ is made up of the worst lawyers you've ever seen, eager to get their cases thrown out before they even show up in court because they don't actually believe in the law. But of course. That's not the point. They just want the story. The whole regime operates solely online.

Utah is so far gone. And the number of state and federal politicians compromised by a foreign state, which currently commits genocide and is run by a war criminal and mad man is truly staggering.
Utah's HB435 would scrub "West Bank" from state docs and swap in the biblical terms "Judea" and "Samaria." The bill is based on model legislation from ALEC.
Critics say it's erasing Palestinian identity. Proponents say it recognizes Israel's "rightful claim."

I just really can't square that they keep rolling this line out as the party of pedophile protectors, currently breaking the law to obstruct the Epstein files, and propping up a felon and alleged pedophilic stroke victim as POTUS. And to think, they wanted Gaetz to be the bloody AG.
