There are lots of people trying to still have values and work in the US media industry but an overemphasis on pageviews, revenue, and perpetual growth—despite never-ending layoffs and stagnant wages—means widespread burnout and rock-bottom morale amidst an explosion of disinformation and propaganda.

Also part of why they're happening is to force people to forget about covid, and the other part is because masks fuck with facial recognition software. Therefore, wearing a mask especially in an area with a mask ban, is the most punk thing you can do.

As people react to the horrible crime of someone getting pushed in front of a BART train, worth noting platform screen doors prevent this and are standard in subways around the world.
BART decided against them because $24m was too expensive.

“At least 14 people* have tested positive for COVID-19 as a result of 3 outbreaks in the main building of London's Parkwood Institute.”
*Most of whom are between 80-90 years old
There is no such thing as “mild symptoms” in people of this age group!

I just don't get it! In addition to masking I have nose spray, mouth wash, xylitol gum... In addition to not wanting to risk COVID I don't want to miss various work obligations, transmit to others, etc etc etc.

Terfs internalize that patriarchy is pervasive and brutal, and to be a women is to be subjected to it. Sans liberation work, they fall into self-loathing defensiveness about womanhood. Transwomen especially are suspect because who would voluntarily be a woman? Only someone sick and/or malicious.

One thing that’s helpful to keep in mind here, imo, is that these days it’s not really clear just what an editorial board is for, and so as a result editorial boards at big papers are constantly engaged in the project of justifying their own relevance

Recently, I was peer reviewing a paper, and it cited one of my papers. Except... it wasn't anything I had written. The title sounds like something I'd write. It included coauthors I work with, and was in a journal I've published in. But it wasn't real. AI is not good for science.

Part of the reason the debate felt awful was they didn’t cut the mics and they didn’t push back on *anything.* Biden probably would have benefited from pushback so he could generate answers from the hip; Trump would have collapsed.

Let’s shift our focus, ok? Donald Trump was fucking incoherent tonight. Yes, he’s always incoherent, but his answers were wholly detached from reality. You know what works better than appeal? Disgust. And there’s a lot in his answers that would disgust people if it were pointed out. So point it out.
