The famine in Gaza is worsening, and the displaced civilians are under constant attack. Please don't turn away, we're there only voice and means of survival. Please give to my dear friend so she can take care of her children. No amount is too small. And help others. 🙏 chuffed.org/project/1981...

I'm not saying crime doesn't matter now, or conditions on the subway but I'm also saying there are some people who will freak out at the sight of any unhoused person anywhere and it is tiresome AF when you remember guys jerking off at Charles / MGH on the regular.

Amplifying for relevance. Do not engage with fascists. Do not reply to fascists. Do not quote-dunk fascists. Do not spend a single second reading/watching what they have to say (the algorithm knows it) Do not acknowledge they exist. Put them on the backfoot. Monopolize the debate with YOUR demands
I’m not a political journalist, so was gladly surprised at the community I found here last night. To Americans anxious about the upcoming elections, a key thing we learned in Brazil that might help you: DO NOT engage with the far-right online. Don’t share rage bait. Amplify your people. Ignore them.

My daughter was in my office one time when she was about 10 and wrote on a post-it, “I love [my full name] very VERY much! ❤️” and stuck it on my monitor. I’ve had several monitors since then, but that post-it (now taped) gets moved to each new one. (She’s 29 now)

The Ramaswamy ad has pushed the largest newspaper in Ohio, the Cleveland Plain Dealer, to reverse its position on endorsements. "A candidate who uses childhood sexual abuse as a weapon against the person who endured it has crossed a line that Ohioans should defend, whatever their party."

I asked UNH's archivist to create a file of letters protesting the "weeding" of 30% of the library's books. Future researchers need to know faculty did not let the books "go gentle into that good night" (30+ books on Dylan Thomas to be culled). 🗃️ #skystorians www.unionleader.com/opinion/op-e...

"The fact that you have all of these parties that are advocating major war crimes and nobody is blinking says something very deep about Israeli society, but also about an international community that has fostered this and that has allowed this to brew for all of these years."

China’s first AI-generated theatrical feature has flopped, earning just $181,000 in its first weekend. By contrast, the scrappy ‘Niu Lai’ turned its crude animation into a viral attraction, grossing nearly $10 million a couple of months ago. www.cartoonbrew.com/box-office-r...
