"Donald Trump and J.D. Vance have made it abundantly clear that they think Kamala Harris is dumb. But apparently they think that women voters are even dumber.

Never mind that Harris is a law school graduate who was later elected San Francisco district attorney, California attorney general, U.S. senator, and vice president of the United States."

~ Susan Milligan

@itty53 Yes, I found that detail astonishing, so absurd that it's hard to imagine what kind of fools would engage in such silly behavior.

@crispius @LaNaehForaday It's hard for me to imagine him doing anything other than trying to sit Mrs. Vance down and mansplain to her, over and over again.

The Times lets Trump set their coverage agenda. But at least they do document people walking out on Trump...

#Oklahoma revoked the teaching certificate of Summer Boismier because she set up a classroom display of #BannedBooks and gave her students a link to the #BrooklynPublicLibrary service providing free online access to banned books.

From Boismier: "I've never had a teaching certificate revoked…, let alone revoked for informing [high school students] that #libraries exist online too."

Update. A federal judge just ordered the Oklahoma State Board of Education to explain why it revoked Summer Boismier's teaching certificate.

The covert Russian influence campaign code-named “Doppelgänger” is a vast scandal, the dimensions of which are only beginning to be revealed. Paid propagandists, witting and unwitting, include “television and radio hosts, politicians, bloggers, journalists, businessmen, professors, think-tank analysts, veterans, professors, and comedians.” (Hello, Tucker Carlson.)

Here is Heather Cox Richardson:

Continuing on the fact that computers are harder than we sometimes think: (mastodon.pirateparty.be/@Black…)

The general Linux community is doing pretty good in that regard. You can setup a machine where the enduser is relatively good protected from shooting themselves in the foot. Tanks to transactional updates with the possibility to roll back and thanks to efforts like Flatpaks, Snaps, Appimages, ...

Even if those tools are not perfect they make Linux a lot easier and accessible for people who just want to get things done, without an interest in how computers work. So for all that make this happen, thank you 🙏

According to Wikipedia giant Sequoia can reach 50-85 meters in height and 8.8 meters diameter at breast height. Imagine how many winters you can survive with just 1 tree


If you want to get into class politics and labor organizing, sabotage can be the easiest way to get started if you take this definition 💪

WHAT efficiency? Measured how? Who's measuring? Who's knowledgeable/influential about the domain or helicopter view? Withdrawal of efficiency BY [or FROM] a competent worker? How should efficiency gains be divided/spent? By whom? In what currency? Money/time/CO2/.. ?
Sorry, the above might be (considered) a bit off-topic here, but perhaps en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jevons_p… should influence thinking more.

Just getting started on Mastodon so I’ll repost this with a few hashtags!

I’m a UK teacher blogging about teaching from an LGBTQ+ perspective. My introductory post, where I talk about the ideas that prompted the blog, is here: questioninguk.blog/2024/08/30/…

There’ll be more to come this weekend.

@rochelimit @CppGuy Thank you! And thanks for sharing the post, too! 🙂


More phones should come in pastels.

“Phones should be colorful” is a hill I and others at The Verge will die on. A Samsung Galaxy S24 FE leak from Android Headlines purports to show four colors that Samsung will release the phone in, and just look at this green! We do love a green phone.

The outlet also published renders in yellow, blue, and black colors.



Could the tide FINALLY be turning with the WaPo in covering Trump?

"Trump rants, resurfaces sexual assault allegations for 49 unfocused minutes

The Republican nominee spoke in an appearance billed as a ‘press conference’ that sometimes verged into a stream of consciousness that was hard to follow. He took no questions."

in reply to Wiley Miller

No. They still do this. Via Sherrilyn Ifill:

“It’s textbook. They perceived a powerful woman’s “demanding management style” as a “weakness.” Not that she was abusive or demeaning. But “demanding - she would ask “why?” which was intimidating. They couldn’t keep up and blamed her because working for a woman is supposed to make you feel good.

@GottaLaff
Yeah, saw that yesterday. The old double standard. A "demanding management style" attributed to a man is projected as being a great leader while the same attribute for a woman makes her "a bitch".

I read that article, where they wrote she ran her office like a prosecuting attorney, as if that was a bad thing. I read and said, "yeah, and...?"

Every negative they tried to stick on her showed me she'll be a great POTUS.

in reply to Laffy

@GottaLaff The only surprise is that it's taken this long to start printing this crap. I expected it to start the day after the convention ended.

they are used to failing up because other men protect them. let them get away with stuff and then promote them

women know, we have all lived it

in reply to Laffy

@GottaLaff
Yeah, didn't even bother reading the article as on its face the headline is absurd. If you run *any* organization with more than 3 people then there is no way that you can get "everyone" to like it.

Why this should be grist for an article in the WaPo is beyond me. Actually its not, Trump is such an incompetent and chaotic leader who barely anyone likes to work for something negative has to be raised about Harris to maintain "balance"
