Well, we know who this on-tour trio is.
The judge can’t order anyone but the plaintiffs to take them down, afaik. Other people would be free to repost it.
They *should* suffer reputational damage.
um have you noticed that everyone who works in extremism research and antifascist organizing is taking note of a surge of antisemitic rhetoric on the left since the attack on iran
President Donald Trump has blamed the recent attacks on the “genetics” of the suspects. “They’re sick people, and a lot of them were let in here. They shouldn’t have been let in. Others are just bad. They go bad. Something wrong. There’s something wrong there. The genetics are not exactly— they’re not exactly your genetic," Trump said in an interview with Brian Kilmeade that aired Friday on Fox Radio.
Rep. Randy Fine, R-Fla., who had already faced backlash for an anti-Muslim post last month, wrote on X Thursday: “We need more Islamophobia, not less. Fear of Islam is rational.” Rep. Andy Ogles, R-Tenn., said in a series of posts on Thursday that no country is “freer and safer because Muslims moved there,” and he called “immigration” a “national security threat.” Earlier this week, he wrote that “Muslims don’t belong in American society.” Also on Thursday, Rep. Brandon Gill, R-Texas, called for “No more Muslims immigrating to America." And Sen. Tommy Tuberville, R-Ala., shared a post featuring a side-by-side photo of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks and New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, who is Muslim.
Google News search for the story, showing coverage from NBC and a bunch of smaller outlets
Is NBC really the only major news outlet covering this overtly anti-Muslim (and eugenicist) rhetoric from Trump and his Congressional cronies?

If my doctor told me they were educated on nutrition by Linda McMahon, who has far less nutrition background than credible charges of child sex trafficking, or Robert Kennedy Jr, credibly accused of sexual assault and literally eats roadkill and says plants are bad for you, I would find a new doctor
If only a college professor could condescendingly yell at her that AI is useful, I bet she’d feel so much better about all this
Billionaires are using a loophole to avoid Medicare taxes.
Closing it — and eliminating other ways around the tax for wealthy business owners — could raise more than $250 billion over 10 years for the program.

Another murder.
America Goddam.
Normally the "digital divide" refers to *access* to tech, but as access becomes less and less of an issue, the real divide is between people who know how to defend themselves from the cruel indifference of technology designers and people who are helpless before their enshittificatory gambits.

A cutaway of a rocky underground, with a cylindrical brick cistern. Trapped in the prison is a 16th century drudge seated before a wheel on which rest a series of books that rotate along with the wheel.
Ed Zitron's a fantastic journalist, capable of turning a close read of AI companies' balance-sheets into an incandescent, exquisitely informed, eye-wateringly profane rant:

This is the same roster of clowns and lunatics who slithered their way into the White House after 2020. They are conspiracy theorists and frauds all the way down. No serious country would ever allow Q promoter who calls himself "Juan O. Savin" to be within a time zone of power.

Professors will recognize this kid as the student who didn't do the reading but still has very strong opinions about how it's all "bullshit," except this time he's not the callow student who's going to fail your course, he's the reviewer who's going to cancel your grant.
It enrages me every time. The dumb smug privilege. The four PhDs at the early stages of their careers who were supposed to carry out the fieldwork for our project last summer and the two PhD candidates on the project who have done the reading deserved better.
Americans are about to learn one of the things I was yelling about during the campaign: the US cannot produce enough oil to keep us from feeling the global shocks of oil prices, because oil is produced by companies who will just charge us more money if the supply goes down elsewhere.
I’m outraged and heartsick that someone attacked a synagogue in Michigan, and I’m outraged and heartsick that the IDF dropped charges against Israeli soldiers who we know sexually assaulted Palestinian detainees, and I’m outraged and heartsick that some will suggest one of these mitigates the other.

They don’t think women have agency, why would they think enemies in war would?
Not being snarky. This is abuser culture with nukes. A government by insecure overcompensating violent narcissists who’ve never faced consequences.
You don’t put those DOGE boys in prison, you’ll get a whole new batch.

data cleaning IS part of the analysis, the choices you make at the cleaning stage are analytic choices, they affect the results and interpretation

Iran was nowhere close to a nuclear bomb, experts say.

No surprise, Trump is lying.

Remember when people used to be all “hard times creates great art” because no actually it’s just this.
A tumblr post from orteil42 (cookie clicker dev) that says: am i losing the drive to create things for an increasingly alien and hostile world whose mounting taste for fascism feels like a cold metal vise around my skull or am i just lazy and unmedicated and looking for excuses
Sorry for the lack of activity it’s literally just this
As we face the aftermath of another synagogue attack, reminder: The federal government is now requiring synagogues to cooperate with ICE and have no DEI programs to be eligible for federal security funding, which were not requirements pre-Trump administration. www.timesofisrael.com/us-jewish-le...
I have not seen enough discussion today of how the Trump administration is holding synagogue security funds hostage, demanding that liberal Jews abandon their religious values and agree to collaborate with ICE and ban DEI if they want security funding. www.jta.org/2025/08/26/p...
South Burlington residents formed a human tunnel to rescue a three-year-old from an ICE raid without a warrant.

I'm not afraid of Islam or Muslims but I am afraid of demagogic politicians who will exploit the traumas of my community to push division and hate that will divide our communities at a time when we need solidarity more than ever.
