I think all of us in academia knew this was coming. I've talked for years how, before the rise of the nazis, you needed to know German if you wanted to understand the most important physical science being done. After the war, you only needed to know English. The nazis destroyed German science.

elected democrats who want their constituents to remain non-violent in their protests of these abuses must actually offer a path for ending the abuses non-violently. they currently are not as a party and it’s a major problem.
🚨WHOA. The El Paso Medical Examiner says it will rule the death of a 55-year-old Cuban man at ICE's "Camp East Montana" tent camp as a homicide.
He was allegedly choked to death by a guard during a "struggle" after he refused to enter a housing unit without his medications.

Take a second and think before posting the easy Eeyore reply. You might have something substantive to say instead. Or, even better, you can say nothing at all.

4Ks, on the whole, are already region free. They might have bonus material on standard Blu-rays tho and those can be region coded. If you already have a 4K player, all you would need is a region free Blu-ray player and that would probably be easier to find.

I know nothing of this NFL thing but what I do know is that three of the pro teams that left Oakland (Golden Seals, Athletics, Raiders) become much worse afterward, and the Warriors lost their soul when they moved to San Francisco.

My whole life, advocating war has been fed to me as “the adult position,” akin to drinking your coffee black or reading the business section of the newspaper. Let’s be very clear — war is the childish nonsense of impulsive destructive idiots playing baby-brained video games with real human lives.

I don't think you non-science people realize what it takes to get a grant funded by NIH. Started experiments in Sept 2021 to generate 3 new mouse mutants to model human disease. Prelim dara shows they have relevant disease phenotypes worthy of study. Need a small grant first to characterize /1

THE DAY CARES ARE LOCKED BECAUSE YOU MADE A GENERATION-LONG EFFORT TO MAKE IT AS EASY AS POSSIBLE TO KILL THE CHILDREN INSIDE THEM YOU ABSOLUTE FUCKING GHOULS
these fucking people. they pass laws to make sure every person with a screw loose who wants an Armalite can show up to the day care armed & ready to kill, then complain that the day cares are locked to protect the children inside
CNN: “Surely you don’t think a daycare should be unlocked.”
SHIRLEY: “There should be a reception area.”
CNN: “No, every day care is locked.”
SHIRLEY: “Fair point.” 🤔
He shows up to a day care with masked men and wonders why they don’t let him in.

Defeating fascism and creating a better future will require hard work and organizing and those cheering on Republicans who set the stage for Trump and who did this damage are showing they are incapable of actual solidarity. They just want change to be a product they can buy.

Heartbroken to hear about the passing of amazing Howie Klein - founder of the progressive blog @downwithtyranny.bsky.social.
He was a brilliant blogger (from OG netroots) who made his mark as a big time music exec. Most importantly he was a kind human & a good friend. Rest in power Howie.

This is why you never give an inch to the bigots. All those centrists dems (Newsom, Mayo Pete) claiming there are concerns around trans kids, you're complicit in this.
This doesn't get rid of trans people, it just makes them suffer unbearably. Get your head straight: trans rights are human rights.
