I am sure Patty Morin would like due process to bring closure to her life.

Somehow thinking an innocent legal immigrant should suffer a totally unconnected injustice for her loss is how irrational racists see the world. Everything is a grievance.

Would Patty want to hear 'all lives matter'?

is this the first time Siobhan has done a different british accent for a d20 character? she's great at british accents and i'm realizing to my knowledge she hasn't really leaned into it here until now

[queencaramilflinda]

The fact that she hasn’t been doing a different one of these each season is a travesty

if pointing out that the age of getting a phone decreasing along with the prevalence of short form video as the dominant form of social media content during the most significant collective educational gap in recent history all of which happened during one of the most significant windows of psychological development in a human lifetime has had a deleterious effect on the attention spans, self-regulation, impulse control, social skills, tech literacy, and actual literacy of zoomers and gen alpha. if pointing out that that is a real and serious problem makes me a boomer and an old crank who has fallen for “kids these days” propaganda someone find me a porch and a rocking chair so i can yell at you to get off my lawn

#you have to meet the problem with empathy not deny its existence. it’s not their fault but things should also change about this #i’m extremely passionate abt this like. i am too online and was as a teenager but the extent to which you can Be Online has like quadrupled #and it is not good for you (via @aimmyarrowshigh)

I think this is true but not just for Gen Z or whatever. It affects everyone no matter what generation they were. We can’t act like because we aren’t kids we aren’t also affected by changes in the world.

Why Techdirt Is Now A Democracy Blog (Whether We Like It Or Not)

While political reporters are still doing their view-from-nowhere “Democrats say this, Republicans say that” dance, tech and legal journalis

There’s something important to understand about innovation. It doesn’t actually happen in a vacuum. The reason Silicon Valley became Silicon Valley wasn’t because a bunch of genius inventors happened to like California weather. It was because of a complex web of institutions that made innovation possible: courts that would enforce contracts (but not non-competes, allowing ideas to spread quickly and freely across industries), universities that shared research, a financial system that could fund new ideas, and laws that let people actually try those ideas out. And surrounding it all: a fairly stable economy, stability in global markets and (more recently) a strong belief in a global open internet. And now we’re watching Musk, Trump, and their allies destroy these foundations. They operate under the dangerous delusion of the “great man” theory of innovation — the false belief that revolutionary changes come solely from lone geniuses, rather than from the complex interplay of open systems, diverse perspectives, and stable institutions that actually drives progress. The reality has always been much messier. Innovation happens when lots of different people can try lots of different ideas. When information flows freely. When someone can start a company without worrying that the government will investigate them for criticizing an oligarch. When diverse perspectives can actually contribute to the conversation. You know — all the things that are currently under attack. But you need a stable economy and stable infrastructure to make that work. And you need an openness to ideas and collaboration and (gasp) diversity to actually getting the most out of people.

you have GOT to be able to admit when you’ve believed something bigoted in order to improve as a human being. like you NEED to be able to handle that if you want to act in line with your values

[handmedownpocketpussy]

I just want to add that bigotry is a marble layercake, it's not a black and white infographic of good versus bad. Some bigotry is up front, "Oh, why do I assume that particular accent makes that person sound stupid?" and easy to point out to yourself Some bigotry is more hidden, "I feel unsafe in certain locations, despite no signs of danger" which could very well not be bigotry but you gotta get in the habit of questioning those knee jerk reactions before just blindly assuming you're having them for valid reasons A lot of bigotry is just stuff you learned and never unlearned, so when it's pointed out to you your first response is NO! THAT'S A REAL THING I LEARNED! the best antidote to this is learning that we are all ignorant gits and lifelong learners, and it's ok to be wrong. Learn to laugh at yourself and you'll have less hard of a time unlearning stuff I promise
