these are in fact legal targets in wartime

Gen Z males twice as likely as baby boomers to believe wives should obey husbands Global survey shows young men and boys hold more traditional views about gender roles than older generations

The manosphere is preparing these men for lives of loud desperation.
They'll never be happy, it'll be entirely their own faults, and they will never, ever stop complaining about the shitty hand they dealt themselves while blaming women for not wanting to be with their gross selves.

Humanity heating planet faster than ever before, study finds Researchers identify sharp rise to about 0.35C every decade, after excluding natural fluctuations such as El Niño

The Guardian on our new study, which shows that global heating is significantly gathering speed. Our efforts to overcome our fossil fuel addiction should do the same.

So, it was Iran? Not China? Not Venezuela? Not the radical left?

We are living inside the minute-by-minute delusions of a madman.

literally just Lord Farquaad‘s “Some of you may die, but it is a sacrifice I am willing to make”

Literally "War is Peace"

philosophers have hitherto only monitored the situation

What’s the Point of School When AI Can Do Your Homework? The creator of the AI agent “Einstein” wants to free humans from the burden of academic labor. Critics say that misses the point of education entirely.

Einstein - AI Homework Agent Einstein logs into Canvas and does your homework automatically. He has his own computer — he can watch lectures, read essays, write papers, and participate in discussions.

What is the point of even trying to educate students when they can entirely outsource their learning to a machine agent?

Is this bad

what even is the fucking point

Sometimes I think about the fact that we have less wildlife than at any point in human history but it is more photographed / documented than at any point in human history.

This man is a fascist in his heart, whether or not he's accepted that he's one in his head

As an academic, I feel strongly that it’s unethical for me to sell subscription-only content in a newsletter. I am already being paid to do intellectual work and share it with the world. Asking people to pay me for my analysis would be a kind of embezzlement.

Epstein’s economic power among academics was made possible by a capitalist system that makes higher education dependent on the charity economy rather than a public good supported by taxing the rich

👀"Central estimates suggest that losses from climate change could already reach 12% of U.S. income. These estimates are comparable in magnitude to the estimated impact of proposed revisions to trade, monetary, and immigration policies"

Don't confuse decorum with democracy.

In which Texas A&M announces it is not a university

ICE Begins Buying ‘Mega’ Warehouse Detention Centers Across US Plans for such centers and jails in nearly two dozen communities have sparked protests over suitability, proximity to homes and schools.

It is fitting that the US edition of concentration camps are going to be situated in disused warehouses (former data centres?): www.bloomberg.com/news/feature...

If you give a single fucking penny to the DNC or any senator who hasn’t said “Abolish ICE” after their spectacular display of complicity with the forces that have invaded city after city, destroyed communities and families across the country, you are complicit. No quarter, no forgiveness.

So the Fugitive Slave Act again

Remember that literally every single one of the billionaire freaks behind generative AI has very publicly aligned themselves with trump and his policies

Their CEO's are in and out of the oval office for photo ops, they're donating mountains of money to him, they're literally getting military titles

Huge scandal that Minneapolis has been crawling with terrorists this whole time. They've been living among us undercover as poets and nurses. And would've continued to, had it not been for the work of our bravest child kidnappers

ah well at least we restructured the entire contemporary university, the product of many centuries of slowly accumulating human ingenuity, to boost this

Lolololol who could have seen this coming except literally everyone who was not in the tight little airless anti-woke circle jerk?

Homeland Security wants to know who's anonymously posting about ICE

This is why there is no free speech without anonymous speech.

This is why online ID checks / age verification is incompatible with the 1st amendment and human rights.

This is why "make everyone use their real names" is not a real solution to online hate & harm
