I have found a Magic 8 Ball to be far more accurate than GenAI.

God willing, today is the day enough Israeli voters send Benjamin Netanyahu packing. More than 100,000 Israelis living overseas have traveled back, the vast majority of them specifically to vote against Netanyahu. Let's all hope for the best.

THEY DONT PRODUCE LITERATURE??? (Also they pioneered much of science, math, and astronomy) al-Ghazali, Rumi, Tarnowska, Rabi'a, Ibn Sina/Avicenna, al-Biruni, Khayyam, etc etc etc....RFK is an idiot.

I don't think I ever watched an episode of Star Trek (science fiction isn't my thing), but I thought casting a Russian while the Cold War was still raging, to make the point that humans would get along better in the future, was a lovely touch.

Just learned potatoes have benzodiazepines in them and suddenly a lot of things make sense

literally this comic except he apparently lives in Czechia instead of Nebraska

Look, folks, I don't want to kink shame but if you're out here saying that Pepsi is the best cola you're just asking for it.

Um, Gandhi was nonviolent, but Indian independence was far from bloodless. See: Sepoy Mutiny, Jaillanwallah Bagh Massacre, and Partition in general. I'm not an expert on South Africa, but I'm guessing similar could be said there.

If you use AI-produced writing in humanities scholarship you are dead to me. How I evaluate that kind of writing is by crossing you off my list,

And the headline is a haiku! :D

I spat out my peppermint tea 🤭

This week I’ve seen men ridicule women for dressing “too provocatively” & other men ridicule Muslim women for dressing “to conservatively.” A reminder that men should shut the hell up, stop worrying about how women dress, & instead expend their energy on getting men to stop raping & abusing women.

As a religious studies professor, I spend a lot of time in social media comments on FB trying to educate people about Islam and Shariah (more so now than ever). This is a lovely explanation of shariah by @qasimrashid.com and should be widely shared and read.

Exactly 10 years ago today: Hillary Clinton said Vladimir Putin would rather have "a puppet as president of the United States.” She absolutely nailed it. 🔨

Eating the rich is only revolutionary if we also remember to feed each other.

Moomins creater Tove Jansson created illustrations for 'Garm', an anti-fascist Finnish-Swedish satirical magazine between 1929 (age 15) and 1953 #WomensArt

Last week I wrote about how Texas politicians’ “free speech” campaign has led to a campaign of academic censorship in the state’s universities that exceeds even the McCarthy era (🎁🔗) www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/1...

I am always a little amused by the creative renaming of Halloween because "Halloween" **is** the Christian name of the holiday. Allhallowe'en or Alle halwe eue (Middle English: halwe - meaning "saint" or "holy person") was the day before All Saints Day. Hallow-E'en literally translates to Holy Eve.

This woman probably interprets the execution video of Alex Pretti as proving ICE's innocence too. Talk about willful ignorance, really sad actually.

Abdul pointing out a similar question was asked of JFK was also good ....the KKK started off being more anti-Catholic than anti-black the Evangelicals are tapping into a LONG history of religious discrimination

I see we're having a debate about whether it's okay to go back to "X," the site owned by a trillionaire fascist who is currently bankrolling the GOP's midterm, throttled Ukraine's war effort, and still winkingly allows vast amounts of CSAM on his service Answer: No, what the fuck is wrong with you

Real "paid protestors"....every accusation is a confession.

Ossoff: "It's the most corrupt administration of all time & everybody knows it. While the crook president & his crook family rake in billions from all over the world, you pay more for everything... they lied us into war & spent most of the last year covering up for the world's most famous pedophile"

I did not have MTG defending Ilhan Omar on my bingo card.

Some good ideas here. Also in-class writing using Lockdown Browser works well too! learning.northeastern.edu/9-ai-resilie...

And yet I get ridiculed for suggesting death penalty for rapists

Fraternities and Sororities need to be abolished. It's 2026 ffs, enough already.

"The way in which female protesters and female journalists are displaying their strength and imagination in these last few months will have far-reaching consequences" What do the protests in Delhi mean for the rest of the world? asks the brilliant novelist Amitava Kumar

I’m sorry Pope Leo had surgery but great he’s no longer in the U.S., it would be weird to have a religious leader cook meth to pay for healthcare

this is so obviously correct it is deeply bizarre and corrosive how many people who should know better are unwilling to simply say it
