that's exactly where we were a few years ago--using an old, clunky, and in our case home-grown registration system. when it finally failed, Workday.

I teach a course on history of police and prisons in Britain and the US, to a mix of history and criminal justice majors.

I can't cancel my subscription because I already canceled my subscription

Ashton Pittman @ashtonpittman.bsky.social · 23d

So the Washington Post fired Karen Attiah—a Black woman—for doing nothing more than quoting Charlie Kirk's words about Black women?

Is that what I'm understanding here?

We built a calculator that doesn't work, but don't worry, it's also a plagiarism machine that will tell you to kill yourself. It runs on the world's oceans and costs 10 trillion dollars.

I’m kind of speechless with this one. I can’t imagine the kind of person who continues to make the argument that it doesn’t count as real starvation if the kids were already sick.

things that are Not Good for the Jews--good thread and resource

Rachel @rachelneedsanap.bsky.social · Aug 11

In Medieval Europe, Jews were often considered special property of the king, nominally under royal protection. This “protection” almost never extended to actually saving Jews from pogroms, but it certainly contributed to antisemitism by creating a (false) perception that Jews got special treatment.

Joel S. @joelhs.bsky.social · Aug 11

I do not ultimately think it will end well for the Jews to make us into the symbolic state-protected minority group for the American right-wing. It's court Jews all over again.

Trump spoke of “shylocks,” which is one of the most recognizable antisemitic terms in modern English. Watch who tries to explain this away.
