@Teri_Kanefield Having started in literature, I considered law school, but decided instead on a PhD in communication and cultural studies. My passion was learning why people believed what they did, even when it wasn't in their best interests. How do our values, feelings, beliefs, and practices get embedded in everyday life? And how does change happen? Many years later, I still have so many unanswered questions.

@Penelope I believe this is the culture ultra MAGA wants to resurrect. [Book cover of Inquisition, a bilingual book illustrating the instruments of torture developed by the family values friendly, unwoke, arbiters of who is allowed to matter, aka the Church]

I just heard this outrageous bit of news on the New York Times Daily: that the Pentagon is blocking the Biden administration from sharing information about Russian atrocities in Ukraine with the international criminal court, because they fear it might open up the possibility of prosecuting American atrocities. My view: prosecute criminal Americans as well. #ukraine #InternationalCriminalCourt

In case you are interested, this is the Scott Adams (creator of Dilbert) racist rant that is righfully getting him into deservedly hot water. He exposes just how little he knows about just about everything: race, racism, white supremcy, racial violence, equity, algorithms, and AI. For heaven’s sake, he talks about AI like anything it produces is neutral FACT. I am glad to hear that publications across the country are no longer subscribing. https://www.youtube.com/live/K6TnAn7qV1s?feature=share

Google in is decay. Here is one convincing account of why:"The way I see it, Google has four core cultural problems. They are all the natural consequences of having a money-printing machine called “Ads” that has kept growing relentlessly every year, hiding all other sins.(1) no mission, (2) no urgency, (3) delusions of exceptionalism, (4) mismanagement."https://medium.com/@pravse/the-maze-is-in-the-mouse-980c57cfd61a

@Penelope Massive denial! The good news is at the last minute my friend changed their mind. My "What the heck? You can't do that." may have saved somebody's life.

@Penelope There seems to be this uniquely American thing: if it is something I want to do, I can do it. No matter who else it might hurt. ‘FREEDOM’ Of course, it also entails this: if there is something I don’t want YOU to do, I have the right to keep you from doing it as long as I give it some kind of moral significance. (We can be forgiven, I think, for not seeing the logic in all this.

Is Israel's Netanyahu trying to turn himself into a dictator? He fired the defense minister appointed a loyalist and has taken over the military and police.

@Bullix @KimPerales "True equality is achieved by holding everyone to the same standard, they believe." Were this true, Clarence would never have been made a Supreme Court Justice and Ginni would be indicted.

@lauren On one of my first jobs out of college, I ran a giant Xerox machine to make a workbook for a dental school. The sounds of the machine were loud and the funky rhythms were conducive to dancing. So I danced a lot.

As the billionaires to continue to suck all the money off, life in the trenches of every day work get worse and worse and worse. Minimum wage remains a poverty level wage, dragging down everyone else's wages and work conditions. Really, people, this is not okay.

I read the indictment, and I do believe, at last, that Donald Trump is going to prison.

@textfiles You could always read someone's discarded newspaper after they were finished with it. That access is gone.

@futurebird I thought Trump did an excellent job, with especially intelligent observations such as "child care is...child care" and "in this country you have to have it." But as he also implied, "those numbers are so small" as president he shouldn't have to worry about child care. Like JD Vance explained, that's grandma's problem. 😈

@_L1vY_ The problem is that there are real people who really believe this. I know at least one personally and it astonishes me. They vote. They teach. They have children and friends and go to church. They are "nice people."
