There have been so many violations of so many laws that I can't keep up. Which two things are we talking about?

Houndoom says: Treat, now.

A realistic houndoom pokemon, which resembles a doberman with horns. They are on a dark background with embers floating in the air and smoke rising from their nostrils. They are staring at you with great intensity and orange-red eyes. This is an acrylic painting on wood.

Identity is not conditional. This isn't difficult. Even shitty women are women. You don't get to be a bigot because someone who is a minority is an awful person. All you do is delegitimize your criticism. If you misgender Caitlyn Jenner, your opinion means nothing anymore.

this is a very common question from cis people & i am not the most patient about it anymore.

Sage Divinorum 🏳️‍⚧️ @trans.bsky.social · Jan 21

Caitlyn Jenner being horrible & annoying is something every single trans person has known for years.

we still use her correct name & pronouns when talking shit about her because no one’s gender is conditional on their behavior.

So it's unclear whether or not these people were actually hired by the protest organizers, but if they were, then they were acting outside of that capacity just by being armed at all. Which makes this murder. You don't just fire into a crowd because you think one of them might be dangerous.

"Volunteer peacekeeping teams are common for protests, said Sarah Parker, a national coordinator for 50501 Movement, which was a partner in the “No Kings” protest. But the organizers ask attendees, including the peacekeepers, not to bring weapons, she said."

Always remember:

We are responsible for all things we do and all things we choose not to do.

Regarding Gaza, I keep thinking back to this passage from the Talmud:

“Anyone who can protest the wrongs of their household but does not do so is responsible for them. … Anyone who can protest the wrongs of the whole world but does not do so is responsible for the whole world.” (Shabbat 54b)

Alan Alda is a treasure. His autobiography is titled 'Never Have Your Dog Stuffed' and his life has been exactly as weird as that title implies. And he's just... a good human.

MASH still holds up at least reasonably well compared to other media of its time, and that's mostly down to him.

Lovely interview with @alanalda.bsky.social, including a nice plug for his Alda Center for Communicating Science. We are in the midst of an anti-science, anti-medicine crisis in this country.

I hope all prospective Duolingo users will accept nothing less than his firing. Even floating the possibility of firing people and replacing them with AI needs to have unavoidable career ending consequences.

It's honestly quite pathetic.

If you think "woke" is a bad thing, I hate to break it to you, but Mr Rogers knows you can do better. Ms. Frizzle would be delighted to explain biology and how being transgender works. Elmo thinks you should be nice to immigrants. And LeVar Burton says if you want to ban books, you are the problem.
