You're not free if the cops can shoot you with impunity on a regular basis. I'm sorry but people really must come to terms with this.

remember: if it adds money to the police budget, it is not a reform

You don't need to watch this video but you need to know what happened to this Black woman. And then you really need to do some soul searching when asshole Democrats propose "training" and give even more money to these murderers. Will you be silent and complicit? www.wbez.org/criminal-jus...

Video shows sheriff’s deputy shoot and kill an unarmed woman in Springfield, Ill.www.wbez.org Sonya Massey called 911 to report a potential prowler before being shot inside her home. Footage shows she was cowering in fear and holding a pot when the deputy opened fire.

The Very Smart People are noticing that leftists don't like Harris either. I don't know what to tell them except I didn't just fall out of a coconut tree. The US empire is evil to its core and she's the next in line to continue that empire. I'm going to have some *critiques* if you don't mind.

No mama, he’s my president, I’ll do it

I have not mentioned this over here yet, but I did get early tenure with a fully OA dossier that included a link to library dot gay for @librarypunk.bsky.social. Thanks to everyone who supported my case and the last few years of work!

this is an extremely valid reason to never host your conference in a state that can opt out of life-saving medical procedures for people who are pregnant. All professional societies should take note. 👇

Good comic on traveling while pregnant in a Dobbs nation. The Supreme Court has seen to it that states can opt-out of life saving medical care and many have, restricting travel and autonomy for anyone possibly pregnant while also imperiling their lives. www.vox.com/life/356448/...

It’s like Harris, if you are a major scholar of leftism you have to agree to not have children cause they will rebel against you in the stupidest ways

Every once in while, his dad being one of the US’s foremost Gramscian scholars (co-translated Gramsci’s Prison notebooks and was literally a founder and President of the International Gramsci Society) comes to mind, and I just wonder.

@librarypunk.bsky.social I just listened to the episode on Queer Info Seeking Behavior (really enjoyed it!) and wanted to share a recommendation for Preciado's Countersexual Manifesto. It gets into Haraway (and Butler) territory, in a really fun way

@chucktingle.bsky.social Very strange happenings similar to what you were talking about with the Google Docs article yesterday.

I loathe Google shutting down Google Podcasts and moving everything to YouTube Music. It is an incredibly confusing process for podcast creators and then shit like this happens. You removed a podcast episode because it links to Chuck Tingle's Wikipedia page? WTF? 📚

But his editor scrapped it, telling him the paper could not afford to defend Chinamen or outrage the SFPD. Twain quit & became a freelancer, a position which left him dead broke, houseless, & suicidal, but allowed him to write whatever he pleased. He chose mostly to criticize the SFPD. 3/

As someone who studies college football, I do have to say that universities have already proven that they are willing to literally sacrifice their students for economic imperatives. Calling the cops on protesters to protect precious investments is just a logical extension of Fall Saturdays.
