History Colorado Center has censored an artwork apparently for its pro-Palestine sentiments. Disgusting whitewashing of history. Fascism in action denverite.com/2025/11/03/his…

This website is a joke

🚨 New directive NSPM-7 targets "anti-capitalism," “anti-Christian,” and “anti-American" opinions as indicators of extremist violence, authorizing an army of 4,000 counter-terrorism officers to prevent crimes that haven't happened: kenklippenstein.com/p/trumps-nspm-…

This last point is hilarious because it’s not even an argument against a beneficent nature, it’s just Kant unable to stop himself from giving another sick burn of humanity by turning his jadedness into proof

2. As a result, “even if nature outside us were utterly beneficent, its purpose would not be achieved in a system of nature on earth if that purpose aimed at the happiness of our species, because nature within us is not receptive to it.”

My top two fave arguments by Kant for why nature is not designed for human happiness:

There’s also Cinnamon Roll x Spinoza 😭

It's publication day for my book, Fortress Power (@UMinnPress). The book is about the weaponization of the built environment, from the early modern bastion fortress to present-day border landscapes and privatized cities. upress.umn.edu/9781517917937/…

@DerekSDenman @UMinnPress Congrats!! Looking forward to reading

@SamuelRGalloway “Facts over feelings” 💀

@QuinnLester Interesting that this is a post Covid thing and not just a getting old thing

A fun thing about post covid theme parties is between emo night and indie sleeze you can choose your nostalgia for the first or second bush jr. Administration

@QuinnLester lol was just thinking that 😭

Mikey Madison winning over Demi Moore is bit too on the nose of the whole plot of The Substance

@QuinnLester Great time for affect theory

So much political discourse now is literally just release the good flows, block the bad flows

I hope you all had a lovely Twin Peaks Day! I baked a pie for the first time and it only took seven hours lol

Happy Twin Peaks Day ☕️🏔️

Thread: At yesterday's governing council meeting for @isanet, a motion was put forward calling for end to genocide, adoption of BDS, and commitment to aid in reconstruction of Gaza. The president blindsided us by declaring the motion out of order, denying any discussion or vote

We spent weeks crafting a motion in BDS and even though it made the agenda the chair of the meeting (pres of @isanet) did not allow discussion nor a vote on it. When members of the governing council protested they were muted. When we held up signs our videos were turned off.
