Far above Cayuga’s waters
Lurks a mighty smell;
Some say it’s Cayuga’s waters,
Some say it’s Cornell.

Fuck you, #Cornell, you craven, compliant motherfuckers. You’re not education; you NEED an education.

Sister JoAnn Persch, a 91-year-old nun who has been regularly visiting the Broadview ICE facility for years, “was asked if she had any thoughts about the recent Catholic convert who persists in turning silence into deepening shame.

And God created Cat

• On the first day of creation, #God created the #cat.
• On the second day, God created man to serve the cat.
• On the third day, God created tuna, mice, and all the animals of the earth to serve as potential food for the cat.
• On the fourth day, God created honest toil so that man could labor for the good of the cat.
• On the fifth day, God created the ball of yarn, the feather thingie on a string, and the catnip mouse so that the cat might or might not be amused.
• On the sixth day, God created veterinary science to keep the cat healthy and the man broke.
• On the seventh day, God tried to rest, but the cat woke him up at 5 AM.

Today in my Klingon class I played the class a clip of Uhura translating Klingon. Then I told them about Nichelle Nichols, about what a hero she is, how she almost quit but stayed on TOS because MLK told her to, how radical her presence was in 1966, and about the work she did for NASA later. The students were very impressed. I hope they spend a chunk of time tonight googling Nichelle Nichols. #StarTrek

This week's comic is about how easily conventional wisdom gets turned on its head by bad faith actors, especially in a media environment lacking responsible editors.

as i said elsewhere, i'm frankly not convinced that the small conveniences that plagiarism machines bring to the programmers should justify the gross and disastrous consequences that plagiarism machines bring to everyone else.

burn this thing to the ground, salt the earth, make the people who developed it unemployable.

@dennyhenke
This is something I really didn't expect.
People continue to support fascism with their actions. Even though they are vehemently against it.

This is just the tip of the iceberg, if you can't stop using and buying things that support evil people, you aren't going to be able to change in the ways that will be necessary to support our eco system and planet.

It's going to be ugly. I'm afraid that it won't be positive for anything on this tiny planet that we are consuming.
