There is no amount of money in the world that would lead me to fight a Vietnamese refugee that grew up in Louisiana

I'm glad to report that I stopped caring about the so called New Atheist movement when Elevator Gate and the community's treatment of Watson made it clear that these 'Enlightened' men were the same old sexist fucks. (The Islamophobia, too.)
Rebecca Watson is brilliant, and pissed, and has decades of receipts and these creepy New Atheist assholes. Absolutely worth your time.
I haven't either, usually I do! But the roads are very bad. I usually bike to campus, but I fell on a shorter ride and it put me off my commute.

Ossoff: "This is a seismic event. This should have people across the country absolutely shook. This is a huge deal. This is an FBI raid on the Fulton County Elections office ... This is a shot across the bow at the midterm elections. He tried to steal power when he lost it in 2020."
I cannot tell you how much doubt was consistently directed at the Gaza Health Ministry’s casualty numbers and how much pressure was put on news organizations to couch those numbers as unreliable.
Biden himself said they were fabricated!

A Minnesota woman observing ICE agents in her car was cornered on one-way streets. An agent approached, called her by name—citing facial recognition. Days later, her Global Entry and TSA privileges were revoked, with no explanation.
He says he will meet with Trump on Wednesday, accompanied by the Belgian monarch Philippe: "But it will have a different character than we had planned. It will probably be the message that we have to send: you're crossing red lines here. We either stand together or we will stand divided, and if we are divided, there is the end of an era, of 80 years of atlanticism, really drawing to a close. And you know, as Gramsci said, 'if the old is dying and the new is not yet born, you live in a time of monsters, and it's up to him to decide if he wants to be a monster - yes or no."

Likewise vaccine panics are fueled in no small part by opposition to public health as a concept, because there is no such thing as "society."
This was a major factor, yes—like a big pile of cultural kindling

AI is fine. I'm hoping to get in the French system. Going back to school at 50 is the scary part, really. But I have two kids to feed so... Maybe we could start one of those consultancy companies instead.
Honestly my friend the current plan is to go back to school, get a B.Ed and do a decade or two in high schools. Not sure how realistic that is. Private sector is also an option, but I don't know if I'm hireable anywhere. Definitely open to ideas right now.
NEW: Without USAID funding to help buy food for refugees, the World Food Program rushed to prioritize families based on need, determining that only half the population would get food.
Refugees learned which half they were in from a number stamped on the back of their ration card.
Yeah, got the email. Not a lot of information about which positions are at risk. Doesn't feel good.
A vital read.
Fascinating if true. Can't help but think of how many whales we slaughtered over the centuries, though.

Dire.
Well, that's worrying.
I keep seeing journalism described as an "ecosystem" and I guess that tracks because it's undergoing an extinction crisis caused by billionaires, too.
I was told in grad school this was 'scientism' and never quite got the full argument why.
I love that a politician can say something like “I believe mice naturally spawn out of grain” and the news will now just treat that as a legitimate line of thought
