I have been informed that Selena Gomez is here too

WHY IS NICK JONAS IN MY WIZARD GAME??
none of my freshmen students knew what mesothelioma was because they were never scared out of a deep sleep with "ATTENTION: IF YOU OR A LOVED ONE WERE DIAGNOSED WITH MESOTHELIOMA YOU MAY BE ENTITLED TO FINANCIAL COMPENSATION" and now I feel old
Shout has been involved in MST3K for decades now, so it buying out the rest of the series from Joel Hodgson isn’t as shocking as other corporate buyouts of old IP. Joel is 65 and the post-Covid years of MST3K have been a struggle for him so I can see why he’d cash out to be a “brand ambassador”
About to go spend my semester break playing wizard101 like its 2008 again

It's a complicated issue but deadass I think chromebooks have done a disservice to an entire generation of students and are a major contributor to falling computer literacy rates.
As many, MANY people in the replies are pointing out (without reading each other's posts, of course), "Black Mirror" is not just a random combination of words.
The title refers to the effect you get when a monitor or a screen turns off: it suddenly becomes a "black mirror."
Techbros are dipshits.
A black and white image of a grand courthouse with columns. Bold white text reads "MAHMOUD KHALIL CASE UPDATE" at the center, with a 50501 logo in the bottom corner.
A protest scene with demonstrators holding signs advocating for Mahmoud Khalil's release. The text overlay reads "MAHMOUD KHALIL CASE JUST RULED ON." In a text box below reads “An immigration judge in Louisiana ruled on Friday that Palestinian student protest leader Mahmoud Khalil can be deported on the basis of a letter from Secretary of State Marco Rubio labeling Mahmoud’s presence a “foreign policy threat.”
A man, Mahmoud Khalil stands looking serious. The overlay text asks "WHO IS MAHMOUD KHALIL?". The text box below reads "Mahmoud is a Palestinian activist. He is a permanent resident. He is a husband. He is about to become a father. His only “crime” was standing up and speaking the truth. Mahmoud’s freedom is under attack because he dared to protest. This is what happens when the government uses immigration law to crush dissent."
A group of protesters holds a sign reading, “IMMIGRANTS MAKE AMERICA GREAT.” The overlay text states "ICE CONTINUES TO TEAR FAMILIES APART." The text box below reads "“US immigration ripped my soul from me,” Khalil’s wife said in Tuesday night’s statement. “Instead of putting together our nursery and washing baby clothes in anticipation of our first child, I am left sitting in our apartment, wondering when Mahmoud will get a chance to call me from a detention center.”
A man is being deported for using his voice. If free speech leads to detention and deportation, this is only the beginning. If Khalil isn't safe, none of us are safe. #FreeMahmoud #FreeKhalil #DefendDissent #BringThemBack
Alright y'all, lets chat some more about the #strike card.
The ultimate goal is to fully decentralize our collection through regional chapters and partner organizations. Right now, our chapters are working on websites that they can host their own strike card on.
We need 3.5% of the American population to strike. If we go on strike without this, people will struggle even more. We hear you about signing up - it’s scary right now.
But if you’re someone who is adamantly against the use of the strike card, we still want to hear from you…
So anyway, I created an updated version of that XdanielArt chart that contains all the Adobe alternatives since there are a lot more now than there were back when that list was originally made, and Adobe has continued to get shittier and shittier.
Remember no selfies at a protest
Protests aren’t the only tool in the anti-authoritarian toolkit, but they’re incredibly important. Protests help us see each other; they make it feel safer to refuse to obey the dictator, and make it more possible for us to organize mass non-cooperation.
It’s an essential step in the process.
Trump Says Recession Unfortunate But Necessary Step To Get To Depression
Time to go to work in the shit factory!
Adobe is backing the GOP attack on click-to-cancel.
Last year the FTC ruled that any subscription you sign up for with a click must be cancel-able with a click.
Now Republican politicians want to roll back this rule, and Adobe is supporting their push.
And, to be clear, it's almost certainly happening *because* the base has been screaming for action from elected Democrats.
This isn't "relax, they've got this." This is "keep yelling, it's working."
Just so everybody understands, Booker has been speaking cogently about the issues the entire time and Strom Thurmond famously spent hours reading from the encyclopedia, because segregationists were and are dumbshits
I am tired and angry that it took *five months* to get them to this point, but this, finally, FINALLY reaches the level of "better than nothing."
I don't trust them to keep it up. I would very much like to be wrong.
Please prove me wrong.
Sen. Strom Thurmond voted against the Civil Rights Act, the Voting Rights Act, AND supported Jim Crow laws.
Thurmond’s record for longest floor speech (in protest of the Civil Rights Act, no less!) was just broken by a Black man, my good friend Cory Booker.
That’s America.
"There's a room here in the Senate named after Strom Thurmond... I'm here despite his speech, I'm here because as powerful as he was, the people were more powerful." -Cory Booker as he eclipses Thurmond's record for the longest filibuster in US history.
Thank you, Senator Cory Booker! #Resist
Senator Cory Booker has started his 17th hour on the Senate floor during his filibuster.
"Donald Trump is rolling back common sense environmental protections, threatening our children's' futures, and hurting our nation's economy."
Get it, Cory!

“I can’t believe they are damaging Elon musks private property”
Why can’t you believe this. He is shortening your lifespan and destroying your planet. What is the acceptable response to capitalists deciding it’s more convenient to cause ecological collapse and mass death than stop climate change?
This thread also touches on the use of language, and how simply regurgitating the press release is harmful, aimed at inciting fear and creating a criminalizing narrative. Just as journalists + readers shouldn't repeat police narratives unchecked, we also shouldn't act as stenographers for the state.
