We are not powerless in the face of rising hate, harassment and violence. If we take the time to learn effective de-escalation and intervention skills, we CAN keep each other safe.

Give me 1 hour of your time and I'll teach you how. It's free and open to anyone aged 12+ ✊

As an instructor, I'd rather see your fever dream, No Doze-fueled 4AM essays written at an IHOP rather than anything generated by an LLM.

Hope this helps

I wrote a 15 page report on heraldic symbolism in medieval armor and weapon design for my art history class the night before it was due (8am class). Made up 90% of it (only found one book for reference) and got an A. GenAI could fucking never.
wrote 20 pages on Faulkner's The Bear four hours before final papers were due on trucker pills and coffee and cigarettes and got an A, fuck you.
You people couldn't hang with real slackers.

How, exactly, do the Canadian Armed Forces deploy on operations with an ally who doesn't respect ROEs?

Hegseth: "We unleash overwhelming and punishing violence on the enemy. We also don't fight with stupid rules of engagement. We untie the hands of our warfighters to intimidate, demoralize, hunt, and kill the enemies of our country. No more politically correct and overbearing rules of engagement."

Quick reminder that fascism is almost always obsessed with the aesthetics of the male body—sculpted, uniformed, disciplined.

Hegseth: "It all starts with physical fitness and appearance. If the secretary of war can do regular hard PT, so can every member of our joint force. Frankly, it's tiring to look out at combat formations and see fat troops. Likewise, it's completely unacceptable to see fat generals and admirals."

You guys, so many Romance girlies are reading "On Tyranny" that they've broken the Goodreads recommendations algorithm. 10/10; no notes.

A grainy screenshot of the sidebar of the desktop version of Goodreads. It says:

RECOMMENDATIONS:
Because you enjoyed A Wedding to Protect Her Fortune:
On Tyranny: Twenty Lessons from the Twentieth Century by Timothy Snyder
A historian of fascism offers a guide for surviving and resisting America's turn towards authoritarianism. On November 9th, millions of Americans woke up to the impossible...

I had a grad school classmate who ran a study in Fall 2001 where they called Congressional Offices to ask them how they processed mail. (It was about responsiveness to constituents). As you can imagine they got a phone call from the FBI. Still use that as an example of bad timing in research...

This judgy former conference planner wants all of your events to have:

✅ a protein option at breakfast

✅ coffee urns left out until they’re empty

✅ hot water in a container that’s never held coffee

✅ the dessert from lunch held back until the afternoon so you feel like you had an extra treat

I was recently heard to say "It's too bad I believe so strongly in consent because I would really like to send this picture to your grandparents..." (and I was not given permission! 🤷‍♀️)

installing some “please walk your car or truck” decals in every residential neighborhood in the city

My team and I are installing Walk Your Bike or Scooter decals across Ward 13 to make our sidewalks safer and more accessible for all. These decals help prioritize pedestrian safety, especially in high-traffic areas. Thank you to everyone for sharing their input on where to install these decals.

It's summer, the season where we imagine there are suddenly more hours in the day than at any other time of year.

Definitely Voyage of the Mimi in my elementary school! And the sequel.

Might as well find the bits to laugh at... You should have been mentioned as a matter of course. He's at least nominally a journalist - it should be instinct.

Not cool, Jess. I'm sorry this happened to you.
