A graduate student at the University of Oklahoma
is the latest in a growing list of college instructors to face disciplinary action
after being targeted by Turning Point USA,
the right-wing campus pressure group founded by the late Charlie Kirk.
Mel Curth, a trans psychology instructor who recently won the Department of Psychology’s Outstanding Graduate Teaching Award,
gave a zero to junior Samantha Fulnecky’s reaction paper for an assignment on “gender typicali…

State Universities Are Scrambling to Appease the Bigoted MAGA Regime
From Oklahoma to Indiana to Alabama, state schools are bending over backward—suspending student magazines and even disciplining instructors—to preemptively satisfy the Trump administration.

Lord Whitehead: ➡️ Stick to the Science, Inform the Public, Take Action. #climate

The noble Baroness is quite right that we are seeing in front of us right now all the things that the scientists said were going to happen. They have been proved absolutely right. So the first thing we need to do is stick to the science, make sure that whatever we do is in line with the science and explain that science to the country in a very clear way: if we do not do these various things, we can already see the results of inaction in front of us. While | cannot commit this evening to a …

There is a pernicious trend in leftwing discourse where a person correctly notes that somebody is being given privileged treatment, but then immediately implies that the right course of action is to take that privilege away.
More often, the right thing to do would be to afford everybody the privilege and encode it as a right.

Tell Congress: NO Funding for Primate Breeding! #AnimalRights

URGENT: Tell Congress NO to Funding Primate Breeding!
Right now, Congress is working on the 2025 federal budget, and the Senate Appropriations Committee has allocated a staggering $30 million to expand primate breeding and research at National Primate Research Centers. This funding will support invasive, unethical experiments on primates—causing unimaginable suffering while advancing unreliable science that fails over 90% of the time in human clinical trials. 🔬 Despite these facts, the NIH asked for $10 million, but the Senate has tripled th…

Ilford HP5 Plus 400 (FF) English Alt Text: A grainy black-and-white urban photograph, possibly taken through glass. On the left, a person wearing a helmet and carrying a bag walks along a wooden or tiled pathway. Behind them, a large number “7” is displayed on a glass wall or door, suggesting a building entrance or floor marker.

The staircase curves downward in a tight coil, with railings tracing its circular form. The perspective is from above, looking down into the narrow vertical shaft.

A cyclist or motorbike rider moves away from the camera on the right side of the tiled street. Trees peek thro…

Right, folks, so there is an account on mastodon.social (@8124@mastodon.social) that has been libelling me and others, defaming us as antisemites for the longest time.
They just sent the posts attached.
They have been reported to mastodon.social and I have raised my concerns with them and yet no action has been taken against that account even though the account has been suspended on at least three major Mastodon servers and limited on at least four others.
It is not limited…

One could make an argument that #LFC is looking to shed distractions in order to right the ship. The Carabao Cup is perhaps one such distraction. This starting lineup and bench selection is not the strongest.
But it will be great to see Woodman, Ramsay, Morrison, and Nyoni in action (alongside Ngumoha, of course).
Palace doesn't have their full strength either, but are a lot closer to i…

The starting roster for LFC. Woodman in goal. Robbo and Gomez in the middle of the defense, with Ramsay and Kerkez on the outside. A midfield of Nyoni and Endo, possibly as pivots, with Mac Allister playing higher up. Ngumoha and Morrison on the wings, with Chiesa the lone striker.
The LFC bench: Armin Pécsi Amara Nallo Carter Pinnington Wellity Lucky Michael Laffey Tommy Piling Kaide Gordon Keyrol Figueroa Trent Kone-Doherty

Making this a subtoot so I don't come across as smug or condescending...
My decision to stop using github when they started providing services to ICE back in ~2016 felt awkward at times but has been feeling really good in hindsight right now.
I see a bunch of people now saying "why boycott X company over some "minor" transgression or political capitulation (or over a "neutral" stance on LLM code). The answer is: it shows what their values are, which predicts their future behavior, especially under the tilted playing field of capitalism. I'm by no means perfect at this and I don't think shouting at people to boycott is a good idea for several reasons. People should boycott what they want to, for their own reasons. But I am posting this to try to help others be aware of the upsides of taking action when confronted with "subtle" evidence of corporate unvalues.
