pre-writing a devastating obituary for your enemy is god-tier hating of a kind you don’t often see anymore. renaissance haterism. beautiful stuff.
A Sharon Begley byline, almost 5 years after her death.
Upon hearing the news James Watson had died, a STAT reporter said in our Slack, "I wish I could read what Sharon would have written."
Incredible news: Sharon in fact did pre-write a Watson obit. And it is masterful and excoriating.

An excellent, considered and coherent refutation of those that argue against the existence of any art or fiction that contains aspects they find problematic or 'icky'.
Posted particularly for @foxhall.bsky.social , who I know has had trouble with these arrogant and self-absorbed fools.

WHY IS SHE NOT AN EX-BUREAUCRAT ALREADY?!
Either she had no idea of what she was ordering the IT department to do over their expert opinions, or she DID know and it was just corruption.
Either way they should be fired. Or at the very least, stood down without pay while there is an investigation.

Note the ‘British soil’ bit. My uni has plans to open a campus in China. The VC scoffed at me when I expressed concern that staff and students wouldn’t be able to speak freely, and that - as he said - the curriculum would be censored. It’s the price of doing business.

huh it doesn't seem like it's necessary to run away from supporting marginalized people in order to win at all, it almost seems like it helps you win the support of a polity that hates our supremacist government

messaging suggestion: when people call any social welfare program "corrupt," response should be "its fraud rate is lower than the small business tax fraud rate" because this is inevitably true and then you can follow up with "should we attack small businesses? apparently you seem to think so"

The wonderful old-Twitter experience of a global group chat during a live event or breaking news is a thing you can't do on Threads bc of its trash algorithms and you can't do on X bc it's a Nazi propaganda weapon, but it's really happening on Bsky now and I hope more holdouts start to discover that
Fwiw, it’s nice to have a place to chat during a live event. That was one of the things that Twitter was great for. Before the dark times. Before the empire.

A movie you've seen more than seven times, in a gif
I can't recall exactly how many times I've watched this, but I know it was more than a dozen times (forward), and once in reverse.
The VCR never really recovered from that 'in reverse' viewing, either.
