Newt Calkins

I can't tell if this is his childishness, his insecurity, ketamine... all of the above?

Cool. Any way to fuck over creative labor unions, I guess. www.avclub.com/instagram-90...

No money for healthcare. No money for education. No money for SNAP. But 7 BILLION for murderous stormtroopers.

Tonight I’m at an emergency town hall with UMaine United. As a UMaine alum and professor, I’m furious about UMaine’s recent statement about cuts to faculty and staff and am proud to stand in solidarity with my fellow educators, students, staff members, and union siblings. 1/2

I wonder if there's any correlation between this and crackdowns on student protests in the States? Hmmmmmmmm......

wow -- a squirming Mike Rogers gets flustered as Kristen Welker points out that while he attacks El-Sayed over the Muslim Brotherhood, *Rogers himself* defended the Muslim Brotherhood during the same period of time that El-Sayed did!

While the entire online right is defending the honor of Cheesecake Factory, Trump is 100% more angry about Clinton’s Liberace joke.

<hears a joke bookended on both ends by variations of “what’s with all the gold?”> “This is disparaging people in Arkansas!”

Of course. The Ed Dept Secretary is still embroiled in a lawsuit over sexual abuse of underage wrestling trainees. She has stood by her philandering rapist husband over decades of disgusting harassment, often nationally televised! I cannot stress enough how unqualified Linda McMahon is for her job.

Lorenzo Salgado Araujo was driving his construction crew to work when an ICE officer shot and killed him in Houston. He wasn’t even the person ICE was looking for. Now Texas voters are leaving their “I Voted” stickers at his memorial. #BlueWaveIn10Days

This brutal Obama-Trump supercut side by side from @meidastouch.com helps explain why Trump is losing it tonight 👇🏽

It is with a heavy heart that I admit I'm slightly disappointed with Taylor Tomlinson's book. It's not her fault, really. I guess I expected it to be mostly comedic essays but it's a lot of earnest discussion of her siblings and the psychological effects of her mother's death and birth order stuff.

Dismantle ICE.

Rowling *never* writes about women’s rights, workplace discrimination or the threats to women from predatory men. I tracked her posts for five months: Well over 200 hateful transphobic smears. Not a single post about women’s actual concerns or needs None

“As Omar noted in the interview, the Homeland Security Investigations agents would actually have more access to information related to her emigration and naturalization at their office than they could possibly find at her home.”

Jesse Singal is a piece of shit enabler of hate mushmouthing his bigotry because Dawkins is being a more mask-off asshole.

A legitimate president would answer reporters’ questions instead of demanding they identify what outlet they’re from and then hurling insults at them. But a criminal who ran for president to avoid going to prison would act the way Trump acts.

I have been praying for this kind of pushback from Democrats against Elon Musk for a long time now and I am thrilled that the Talarico camp is leaning into it. Light. Him. Up.

I have a long piece at @theconversation.com about AI and the university theconversation.com/friday-essay...

The issue that matters most.

local AI guy who could "finally focus on the higher level ideas" now asking AI to come up with some ideas

What if we didn't accept any of this as normal and just imprisoned every tech bro and billionaire and dissolved every private equity fund and used all the money to provide unlimited housing and food and energy for everyone?

You can't blame the guy for defending his teammate on the National Rape Apology Team.

Yes, the "all in on AI" future they want definitely seems like a good idea now! www.pcgamer.com/hardware/cap...

Gov. Bill Lee’s voucher scam, which will divert $1.3B of public dollars to private schools in the next five years, was spared by the GOP’s rigged chancery court process. Public schools receive less state 💰 per student. Under Republicans, TN’s public schools have the worst per capita funding in 🇺🇸

Fellow WA voters, let's bury this. I can't imagine any parent wants to subject their child to this vile "examination."

But I thought we won?

Please let any one of *many* Congresspeople who want some knock this apartheid apologist piece of shit on his stupid ass. Except we all know he'd have some hired goon do his fighting for him.

Translation: If the government turns on him, he's finished.

Fuck it, fine. Let'a close the entire game industry. Why the fuck not at this stage?
