The sportsman who helped model an era of campus protests

Current campus protests are reminiscent of the anti-apartheid divestment movement, which built on the work of sportsman and activist .

"A hidden force supercharged this Alabama flood -- and threatens the Anerican South"

Spoiler: the "hidden force" is climate change and the resulting sea-level rise.

It's sad that the WaPo needs to use click-bait headlines to get people to read about the greatest crisis humanity has ever faced. I hope it works.

Regular readers of the WaPo can be forgiven for expecting that the "hdden force" might turn out to be Taylor Swift fans, or a new technique for loading your dishwasher.

ai6yr,

@joelvanderwerf "hidden force"? 🙄

Chiropractors, giraffes, and reality: the Washington Post pretends that chiropractic is anything but a superstition-based placebo: https://www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/2024/04/25/giraffe-chiropractor-tiktok-joren-whitley/

Note: there is a minority movement in chiropractic that rejects the original, magic-energy-flows-through-the-spine version of that practice.

The article contains amazingly false balance, as you'd expect from non-science journalists covering science. They can't tell the experts from the quacks.

Holy fuck.

"In recent years in California, the duck curve has become a massive, deep canyon — and solar power is going unused."

Ya don't say. Still, tho. Headline incongruent.

@pluralistic wrote yesterday about the upside of the "common enemy" of a global oligarchy in terms of labor justice, but an apparent downside of the global interconnectedness is...China, India and possibly Pakistan allegedly interfering in Canadian elections? https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2024/04/10/canada-china-foreign-interference-trudeau/

I haven't heard the album yet, probably won't ever hear it except whenever various songs trickle in through the membranes of my social media bubble. But I can tell you right now, I don't need a bearded white man in the Washington Post to tell me what I ought to think about Beyoncé’s country music album.

"The Biden administration in recent days quietly authorized the transfer of billions of dollars in bombs and fighter jets to Israel despite Washington’s concerns about an anticipated military offensive in southern Gaza that could threaten the lives of hundreds of thousands of Palestinian civilians"

The big fear is that the billionaire oligarchs that own these media entities have determined that they are loss leaders when balanced next to transforming the largest economy in the world into their very own fascist kleptocracy.

/ The U.S. and Israel have a ‘major credibility problem’

[…] intolerable — it’s a blight on the consciousness of humanity. This kind of thing can’t happen in the modern day and age,” one White House adviser told my colleagues. “It’s the humanitarian situation that has tipped us over the line into open confrontation with the Israelis.”

/ Biden Administration Scrutinizes Israel's Compliance with Laws of War Amid Gaza Crisis

A group of 17 Democratic senators, including Chris Van Hollen, Dick Durbin and Elizabeth Warren, stated the current "excessively burdensome restrictions" on aid delivery make Israel's assurances inconsistent with 's compliance criteria. Withholding future arms transfers is a potential punitive measure.
