I really enjoyed the movie HIM even thought I didn’t particularly vibe with the ending. I loved the commentary on sports (football) being its own sort of religion in the US with kids being groomed from a young age to do anything & everything to go pro, sacrificing their literal brains & bodies. 🧵

It’s a long weekend. I should be using the extra day off to be productive and do housekeeping….
Or I’ll just cancel all my plans, drink so much tea I cause a local shortage, and read read read some cool library books 💙📚

California has a very strong anti-wildfire “home hardening” law on the books, but it’s never been enforced because insurance models can’t account for it — and because people *hate* what it tells them to do. Fascinating @emilypont.bsky.social story: heatmap.news/climate/los-...
The Five Feet That Could Prevent the Next Palisades Fire
California passed a new fire safety law more than four years ago. It still isn’t in force.

when you have anti-DEI proponents openly going after black military officers for recruiting from HBCUs and suing schools for their black and Hispanic enrollment *even after the schools ended any racial preferences* then the only honest label for these people is "segregationist"
I genuinely think we should start calling businesses and schools falling to the anti-DEI movement “segregationists” because they are re-segregating. And earlier rounds of segregationists *also* explained their preferred policy in race-neutral terms (“state’s rights” and “freedom of association”).

“Once you decide that a single vulnerable minority can be sacrificed, you’re operating within a fascist logic, because that means there might be a second one you’re willing to sacrifice, and a third, a fourth, and then what happens?”
A lot of good stuff from Butler here. The questions are embarrassing.
