“'File the f——- motion,' McCarthy said."

Are we really still unable to write the words our most senior elected leaders say?

Today, I told my students that, as a physics major, I was taught that nothing travels faster than light. But, I told them, as a politician, I learned that the only thing that travels faster than light is bullshit.

I did use that word. They lived.

It is time for our news services to write the words our electeds use.

I couldn't agree more. Fighting fascism is my raison d'etre.

That means #VoteBlue and we'll figure out the rest later. #Fascism is the existential threat of today.

Anyone who thinks fascists will be the same on #ClimateChange are off their rocker, too.

I hope you read and share.👇

Conservative activists are using new emerging technologies to develop powerful tools for voter suppression and election subversion. Left unchecked, we risk a new level of election vigilantism taking hold.

'Sun', the word for the blinding nuclear fusion reactor in the sky, stems from the same Proto-Indo-European word as French 'soleil', Swedish 'sol', Welsh 'haul', Irish 'súil', and Ancient Greek 'hēlios', whence the prefix 'helio-'.

They grew apart by the ravages of time. Here's how:

Hey look, it's that thing I spent years warning about while so-called "experts" gaslit the public about the truth. They should be fucking pilloried for how bad they fucked the country. https://www.vice.com/en/article/v7byyd/2024-election-neo-nazis-visble-on-streets

BREAKING: Trump had 3500 PAGES of classified documents, as revealed in new order from Judge Cannon in the Mar-a-Lago case.

The number of pages Trump was legally authorized to have once he left office was … *checks notes* … ZERO.

Most journalists have, sad to say, stuck with the deadbird site. They shouldn't, and one of our finest political journo-activists, @msifry, says of X/Twitter "Enough wrestling with the pig. Time to go." https://theconnector.substack.com/p/finishing-with-twitterx?utm_campaign=email-post&r=qs4z&utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email

Note: Micah is a friend and he quotes me in this piece.

“Twitter never has and never will be a vehicle for democratic expression. It is a privately held corporation that monetizes human expression and algorithmically maximizes its distribution for profit, and what turns out to be most profitable is sowing social, cultural, and political division. Its participants are a very tiny, skewed slice of humanity that has American journalism in a choke hold.”

“'Children in the US can be legally married in 41 states, physically punished by school administrators in 47 states, sentenced to life without parole in 22 states, and work in hazardous agriculture conditions in all 50 states.' Over and over again, the worst states for children are clustered around the “pro-life” Bible Belt, and the map of the states that are the worst for children looks a lot like a map of red-state America."

Buenos días, mastodontes. Que su café sea fuerte y su día leve. Muchos grunts y toda la movida. ☕☕☕☕☕

Made the mistake of checking the news before teaching my class, and now I want to throw out all my notes, this entire course, and my research agenda, to focus on all the problems, everywhere, at the same time.

Oh well. Can’t fix the world. But I can teach Privacy Law 🤷🏻‍♀️

Still have a frickin low fever and headache but I think I’m almost well. Verrrrry close.

A building designed to withstand a pandemic 100 years years ago:

“Air was brought from the outside and blown through a series of water sprays or screens, heated to any desired degree, then forced through a system of ducts which distributed it to every part of the building through hundreds of small pipes which opened beneath the seats. A complete change of air took place every three minutes” #covid #publichealth
