Curious how France is described as political chaos because two parties with ≈60% of the seats in Parliament will negotiate a PM, whereas Netanyahu is always described as the will of the Israeli people, rather than the negotiated choice among eight parties with 53% of the seats.

There. Now can we please stop with the media-driven panic about Biden and get our focus back where it belongs? Direct your fire at Trump and the GOP. You know — the ones threatening to turn the American democratic republic into a theofascist dictatorship.

Hey. The fragmentation of the social media landscape has been hard on indie #scicomm 🧪 projects

So if you'd like to follow a podcast that's enthusiastic about #linguistics, could you check out @lingthusiasm.bsky.social?

Here’s an abortion fund I’ve been donating to for years that used to be based in Texas but moved to New Mexico to avoid being in violation of the law, it centers the RJ needs of undocumented folks and you can donate to it too

Some reduce the 2024 campaign to a contest between two old men, but it's a choice of two slates of federal appointees who'll impact your life in a million ways. Biden has staffed executive agencies with excellent choices who are doing good work. Trump will empower an army of Stephen Millers.

The excellent animated science fiction show _Scavengers Reign_ is now available on Netflix!

It was apparently unavailable in the UK, Ireland, and New Zealand until now.

(It was canceled by Max after its first season.)

CW (for the show) for some body horror.

Just fold the studio into Disney and kill it already. Make Toy Story sequels till the sun fucking burns out. Love how this shift conveniently happened when more woman/POC were really pushing to direct their own stories. Defining their experiences as not "universal" is saying the quiet part aloud.

Turns out the "campus antisemitism" fearmongering was fueled by Israeli tech firms. Meta reports that FB and Instagram posts praising Israel's handling of the war in Gaza came from accounts posing as Jewish students, African Americans and other concerned citizens.

May 16, 1944, 600 Roma and Sinti staged an uprising at Auschwitz after they'd heard 6000 gypsies were about to be executed. They barricaded themselves in the barracks, armed with whatever they could find. Their resistence meant no gypsy died in camp that day. It's Roma Resistence Day. Opre Roma.

Current estimates say that every prompt you give a generative "AI" system— not each session, every PROMPT— is like pouring a 16 oz bottle of water onto the ground. This is a fact that goes somewhere in every talk i give, now, & i always see audience members looking it up… and then looking horrified

It costs Palestinians 5-10,000 USD to evacuate across the border to Egypt. You can provide material support to Gaza by helping fund evacuations for families fleeing the genocide.
