Suspending Erin Biba, a Jewish woman for this skeet is nasty work. Between this and intentionally misreading Link’s use of a meme as a threat, bsky mods are more than willing to ban based on the Spirit Of The Law for *some* posters but never Jesse Singal.

"All the Jews have to die or convert to trigger the rapture. Then our dead bodies surround Jerusalem and they climb over us to reach Jesus, who will bring them to heaven. It's why they're all Zionists obsessed with Israel.
Cause they need Jews to go there so we can die"

Deeply funny that an artist who made a big deal about owning her work and each song being uniquely hers is using AI slop to promote her new album

I wrote about Napheesa Collier's power play, Cathy Engelbert's puppet leadership, a changing ownership landscape and how the next commissioner should take a collaborative approach to the WNBA entering its player empowerment era:

The WNBA Is at a Breaking Point
Napheesa Collier went scorched earth on Cathy Engelbert for a reason. The players are fed up—and the firestorm is here.

like I truly do not care that he allegedly supports the LGBTQ community - as long as he is giving them a substantial amount of money, he is funding an organization that actively hates them + wants them to be removed from public life

anyway, reminder that Brando Sando is a mormon in good standing aka he tithes 10% of his income to a church that just announced they filed a brief saying that protecting trans rights infringes on their religious freedom ✌️

The WNBPA has issued a statement re: Napheesa Collier's comments.

"The leaders of the league and its teams would benefit from listening to her powerful statement. The players know their value even if the league does not."

Cathy and Jessica are really in a competition to see who's the worst commissioner

Cathy Englebert is not seeing the light of heaven

Napheesa Collier continued in her statement, saying Cathy Engelbert told Colllier "only losers complain about the refs."

"We go to battle every day to protect a shield for a league that doesn't value us."

Today is a good day to support my friends and former co-workers, whether they're at @yellowbrickgames.bsky.social, @summerfallstudios.com, @northmiststudios.bsky.social, or elsewhere. So many brilliant people making things that bring a little more love into the world.

A LOT of professors are silent on this. Well, know that unless you fight this, the war machine will eat you alive, too. Tenure won’t save you. Even whiteness won’t save you. No one is free until Palestine is free. Zionism & the US colonial war machine will eat the earth until stopped.

Cornell is cancelling a distinguished professor's classes on Gaza and suspending him because of the complaints of a student who previously served in Israel's military surveillance agency and was literally recording the comments of other students in class and deliberately derailing discussion.
Early last semester, Droubi said, students began approaching Cheyfitz with complaints that a graduate student in the “Gaza, Indigeneity, Resistance” class appeared to be recording them, possibly to “gather their names and comments” and intimidate them. “We believe that a student came to the course for the sole reason of surveilling and potentially harming students in the class,” Droubi said. “That ended up proving itself to be true because multiple students came forward and shared their concerns with Professor Cheyfitz.” Cheyfitz said one Palestinian student quit the class after telling him she felt upset and frightened.

According to Cheyfitz, the graduate student often steered conversations away from the assigned readings—which at that point mostly focused on definitions of genocide and international law on Indigenous rights—to defend Israel’s conduct in the war in Gaza and argue with others in the class. “He clearly had not done the readings,” Cheyfitz said. “It was disruptive.”

Cheyfitz said he met with the graduate student in late January and spoke to him about concerns from his classmates. During the conversation, he asked the graduate student to drop the course, and by the next class, he did, Cheyfitz said. The graduate student, Oren Renard, a PhD candidate in computer science whose identity was confirmed by other students in the class, previously served in Israel’s elite military surveillance agency, Unit 8200, according to his LinkedIn profile.

It was Ace for Irresistible Urge to Fall for Your Enemy, the one which is technically not Dramione (it's supposedly an original work) but I would not be shocked if it started as fic and pivoted to being original when Knightley signed with Thao Le

I would agree with this - like, you can see places where it was inspired by both HP and its fandom, but Novik is much more interested in using the magical school as a starting point to explore magic as an allegory for capitalism + climate change

"Reylo and Dramione booms function like media franchises for book publishing, banking on and extending the reach of reliably lucrative IP. For publishing houses, it’s a clear win. These books can cash in on fannish enthusiasm through an always plausibly deniable connection to the fannish property."

Disney has backed down, but there's no evidence that Sinclair or Nexstar have learned their lesson.

If you haven't already done so, check the links in the thread below for stations in your area. Find the advertisers and let them know you're boycotting them until they remove ads from these stations.

Luckily, Sinclair has a helpful database of all their stations, so you can see if they're operating in your area and respond accordingly.
