Biden appears ready to sanction the #ICC, the international court that prosecutes genocidal fascists.

If u support #JoeBiden for #potus, then you support removing an international check against dictators of the likes of #Trump. It's time for Democrats everywhere to admit that our most important business in #Chicago this August must be choosing a replacement for #GenocideJoe

Muting/blocking is just as important as following. The algorithm used to do that for us, even though we thought of it as "serving" us content. The muting part was just, naturally, invisible.

This means that requires a bit of housecleaning when you first move in. Advice: start early figuring out what content you're NEVER interested in seeing, and block 🚫/ mute 🔇 appropriately. You'll soon find that interesting content surfaces more frequently.

We need to bring more attention to the university-specific demands that the students of the are making: companies invested, dollar amounts, research relationships, etc. So far, the divestment aspect seems to be lost, when it's actually the most important part.

To follow through on my pledge to do more of my reading on the , I've been visiting random blogs using this site and adding any interesting ones to an feed.

My intention is to browse this feed much the same way I would the news -call it a self-care practice. I want to spend more time in reflection and less in panic. I also want to get ideas for, perhaps, my own blog someday.

@xtaran wonders about campaigns designed to boost cycling:

Q4. Given campaigns like , (this is happening right now!) or : Which type of campaign motivates you most? Are you more looking for "as often as possible" (e.g. at least once per day, outbrave any weather) or more at the distance ("see how "much you cycle get within some period")? Maybe regular group rides similar to a ? Or something completely different?

@ai6yr @ascentale @xtaran

The bus is to me what the bike is to you. For me it wasn't the time (which is about the same) but the stress of driving in morning traffic, looking for parking, etc. I used to walk into work with my heart already racing. Now I get a soothing morning walk on the way to the bus stop.

It's probably best not to trust any Israeli voices on the state of things in or . Even this Israeli "scholar," who admits that Israelis are almost unanimously pro-genocide, is pushing the "sexual violence" lie about Oct. 7.

I know the Brits aren't very enthused by the idea of #nationalservice, but as an American I've always admired countries with the maturity and wherewithal to implement it. We couldn't even dip our toes into universal health care (ACA) without sparking a national anti-government rebellion.

@stuart @catbuttes
Our young people aren't doing any of those things, in part because education and social mobility have been decimated. And we've allowed it, because we no longer have any shared commitments (education as personal investment, not a public good) . . . which is a problem I think could be remedied by national service.

@stuart @catbuttes
Right. I have a more expansive notion of national service that includes other things than military.
