May Justice finally catch up to this...

Where Did Ian Shoales Go? The fast-talking commentator was once everywhere: TV, radio, the internet. Then he was hardly anywhere at all. Then he was almost dead.

"Oakland authenticity introduced itself to Merle Kessler the hard way on November 7, 2012, around 5:30pm, when he was hit by a car, thrown over its roof, and left in a heap on the side of the road." www.oaklandreviewofbooks.org/where-did-ia...

Star Trek Deep Space Nine scene. Rom, a Ferengi alien fella with giant ear lobes and butt shaped head, is standing in uniform and looking kind of shaken up and shooketh. Like if he walked in on his parents "wrestling." Closed caption reads, "You have every right to be depressed, Brother."

There are so many shameful parts of this story but the fact that that @bostonu.bsky.social Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy Center still has not completed their examination yet after nearly 6 months is infuriating.

When MC Sway Calloway asked Liu what one word describes Oakland, she said, “Soul” — and the crowd went wild.

some people heard "the amount of energy needed to refute bullshit is an order of magnitude bigger than that needed to produce it" and thought to themselves "wow I want to be on team bullshit"

"The whistle’s appeal is not just its simplicity. It is also what it does not require. It does not depend on an app, a login, or a social media post. It does not create a digital record tied to a user account."

"Our current cultural moment follows a familiar pattern. History shows that after mass disabling events—pandemics, wars, or economic catastrophe—there is a rise in body fascist ideology and diet culture." scalawagmagazine.org/2026/03/let-...

Wow. Is @moderation.bsky.app labeling and hiding the medical textbook style illustration associated with this important Scalawag magazine article an example of body fascism? 🤮

Let Us Explain: Body Fascism – Scalawag Body fascism is not a relic of the past. It is an active feature of modern imperial regimes.

ICYMI:

....the whiplash from the "body positive movement" to the current infatuation with GLP-1s (Ozempic, Wegovy, Zepbound, and Mounjaro) is an extension of this white nationalist, totalizing logic. scalawagmagazine.org/2026/03/let-...

Suspect in attack at Michigan synagogue is dead, officials say Security officers at Temple Israel had "engaged the threat" that apparently started with a vehicle ramming into the building, according to Oakland County Sheriff Mike Bouchard.

Horrified by reports of violence at Temple Israel in West Bloomfield. We are thinking of those impacted and the entire Jewish community.

Everyone deserves to be safe and free to worship without fear. Anti-semitism and all forms of hate must be eradicated.

It's terrible. I grew up not far from there. My heart goes out to the whole community.

As a Jewish American, I'm deeply saddened to see news of another violent attack against a synagogue - this time at Temple Israel in West Bloomfield, Michigan.

Preschool was in session. The assailant wanted to kill Jewish kids.

This is horrifying. Hate has no place in America.

The political culture of the contemporary GOP is indistinguishable from that of the school shooter community

Headline: PM warned over selecting Mandelson Headline: pro-Palestine protest banned.

The whole damn thing in two side by side headlines:
Known pedo buddies given positions of power and anti-genocide protests banned.

Tomorrow is Big Give Day at @ucberkeleyofficial.bsky.social, when we raise money to fund all of the amazing work being done on campus. Particularly amazing is @ucberkeleywriting.bsky.social, where I've taught for 25 years. Help us to help our students succeed at Berkeley and beyond.

Six years ago WHO declared COVID-19 a pandemic. Despite tens of millions of deaths, the world has not sufficiently addressed the ongoing impacts of COVID-19, and we are more vulnerable to future pandemics due to anti-science officials leading government agencies around the world.

We're not just in a subscription economy, we're in a subscription democracy. Some are getting a higher tier of benefits while the rest are locked into the basic plan we were signed up for at birth where the cost only ever rises and they keep removing benefits or turning them into premium add-ons.

Civic tech keeps building platforms for communities that never asked for them.

Then wondering why adoption is low.

Turns out people don't want better apps. They want their actual problems solved.

She’s flanked by security or police Text of X screenshot: An 18-year-old woman in Queensland faces two years in jail for wearing a shirt that says "from the river to the sea."

I was told that a bombing campaign is needed to free her from a fascist government that controls what women can wear.

Cities in Vermont and Maine are experiencing some of the same tactics that ICE has been using across Minnesota since December, and facing lots of resistance.
