Our senses, liberated from flesh, ascend endless escalators through immaculate synthetic realms - post-human, hyperreal, chemically enhanced, both consumer and consumed in a ceaseless economy of sensory data, pixelated and prized.

By COCO SMYTH In June, the Ohio Organizing Collaborative became the latest target of the FBI in Ohio. Citing “voter fraud,” the FBI raided the NGO’s headquarters on June 11 in Columbus, seized computer files and documents, and sent agents to question activists affiliated with the organization across the state. OOC is a liberal NGO that plays an important part in conducting voter registration campaigns across the state. Though the OOC is “non-partisan,” many of the political causes that it backs lean toward the Democratic Party. Beyond these activities, the OOC is a coalition comprised of 20 progressive organizations, including the Ohio Student Association. The OSA has recently played a leading role in the struggle against Ohio Senate Bill 1, which aims to gut higher education and destroy academic freedom. The OOC has become a target of the Trump administration for two reasons—its voter registration activities and its support for grassroots progressive struggles in the state. The Trump administration and its guiding program outlined in “Project 2025” propose a methodology for undermining bourgeois democracy and constructing a reactionary America. This has included deepening the American tradition of racist gerrymandering and the suppression and deregistration of voters from oppressed minorities. This is a core part of the Trump agenda, given the huge unpopularity of Trump and his supporters in the Republican Party among voters. Without manipulating and undermining democratic systems, the Republicans’ outsized control of governments at the state and federal level would not be assured. The fact that OOC plays such an important role in voter registration has put a target on its back. Even the nonpartisan activity of registering people to vote is perceived as a threat by the Trump administration. Beyond the immediate excuse of “voter fraud,” the targeting of OOC is part of a larger crackdown on progressive and leftist groups. The OOC has supported and participated in many movements, from struggles against police brutality to fights for academic freedom. The Trump administration and its allies in the federal and state governments perceive these types of grassroots progressive movements as a serious threat to their hold on power and have whipped up a new McCarthyism in an attempt to root it out. Affiliated organizations of the OOC have organized and advocated against many of the maneuvers of the reactionary Ohio state government. They, alongside dozens of other groups, have made the task of implementing far-right legislation much more difficult for the government by mobilizing thousands against it. It’s vital that all supporters of civil liberties in Ohio stand united against this brazen attack on the Ohio Organizing Collaborative. This case is the latest instance in the rising repression against movements for political progress in the United States, but it will not be the last. We need a united front in the face of these attacks on our democratic rights, our right to organize, and our right to hold on to progressive values and worldviews. Furthermore, we have to move toward mass action and mass organizing methods to defend our existing rights and win much more. The already circumscribed rights granted to us by “U.S. democracy” are facing a direct threat, and it’s clear that the ballot box won’t secure those rights for us. From the intense repression conducted against the Palestine movement by the Democratic Party to the systematic attacks perpetrated by the Trump administration, it’s clear that repression is a bipartisan agenda. It is up to us to unite against the threats against our democratic rights in the streets, in our communities, and in our workplaces. We know that Ohio Organizing Collaborative will not be the last organization to face state repression, so it is our collective duty to build the type of movement that can defend us all.

Tom Kean Jr, a Republican congressman who disappeared from the Capitol for nearly four months with little explanation, re-emerged on Tuesday and said that he was absent while dealing with depression. “Several months ago, due to health concerns, I entered the hospital for some testing. I did not believe that this would result in a long-term stay. I was given the diagnosis of depression,” Kean said in a speech on the floor of the House Tuesday morning. Kean, who represents a swing district in New Jersey, had last voted on 5 March before disappearing, with his office in late April saying only that he was dealing with a “personal health matter” and would be back “soon”. In the first comments he has made since returning to Washington DC, the congressman did not say directly why he had kept his mental health struggles private, but described himself as a “private person by nature”, and indicated that the treatment for depression took longer than expected.

) I also posted this to Ask Lemmy, but I am interested in specifically other women’s perspectives as well. I have a bunch of hobbies, which range from female dominated to a solid mix of participants. However, for a hobby that has a good number of both men and women involved, there seems to be a gap in the participation and achievement levels in a way that mostly aligns with gender. A friend of mine mentioned we would have to look at how men engage with hobbies. Do you feel that the ways men and women engage with hobbies generally, but especially when they share the same hobby still differs?

It depends on the position of the person who accessed the prime minister’s account. The way this would work with most computer systems (including several places I’ve worked), you’d be given access because there could very-well be a reason why you’d need to access the customer’s details. But the access would be flagged and reviewed as a routine process. “Why did you access this celebrity’s details?” “They came into the branch and were in front of me.” Very well, carry on. Obviously if you can’t answer this question correctly, ~~bad things~~ appropriate consequences happen. We trust these companies with our private details. They need to have systems in place to ensure they are worthy of their trust. At one job, it was my role to drill the Australian Privacy Principles into every single new hire. Reputable companies take this stuff very seriously, and CBA will be no different. I can imagine that a contractor seconded to CBA, and not a direct hire might have skipped their equivalent induction session. If so, I expect that would be remedied for future secondments.

After a shower (which I already dread because it is overstimulating) I take very long to dry off because I need all water to be gone off of my skin. If I do not I can feel a single drop of water rolling down my skin. Somehow this is even more overstimulating than the shower itself, so I hate it even more.

If you are poor or middle class you just have to learn to accept that your parents built you with a faulty foundation and it is up to you to do something about it if you want to succeed. You can’t rely on paying others to fix you unless your therapy is covered. I kinda floated through life for 32 years until I woke up from my first day using CPAP properly and was aware of being aware for the probably the first time in my life. The last 12 years are much more fulfilling and productive than all those other decades.

This morning I woke up, rebooted a living room pc and got thrown into a 2-hour session of troubleshooting for a problem I do not understand why it exists. I’m writing this in hopes of understanding the whys, and how to avoid similar pitfalls. I just recently installed a living room pc running Fedora 44, it’s running Plasma Big Screen, and it’s purpose is to be a steam link machine, jellyfin server and maybe a game server down the line for some coop games (zomboid, valheim…). For about a week, everything was perfect. Until this morning. After turning on my tv, my system was showing some errors on qbittorrent, and I decided to reboot just in case. And that was when my system just completely locked me out, it threw me into emergency mode and I had no access to root, so nothing could be done, just watch an endless loop of my system trying to do something that was impossible and occasionally pressing enter to restart the loop. That is my first gripe: why throw someone into emergency mode if it’s just going to lock them out? I tried restarting a few times, unplugging things, reseating ram and the likes just in case. When nothing worked, it seemed I’d have to do research, in the hopes of not having to wipe it clean and start anew. So, here I went, searching the web with my problem and trying to find a solution. After reading some very long forum posts, I apparently needed more information about what had actually caused this, but it was likely something about fstab. And here is my second gripe: why did the system not immediately inform me of the error first before starting emergency mode? I got 0 error messages because the default setting is Rghb quiet… Is this a thing about just fedora or is every linux distro the same? (I’m going to add in here that I’m in the process of switching all my pcs to Linux, and this was a first test. But I also am going to switch my family’s pcs, and I need to shine my Linux shoes and put some big boy IT pants for the future, so that’s why I’m writing a post: to learn from your experiences) So here I go, to do some stuff with GRUB to find the error. I decided to test chatgpt and see if it could guide me (I’m a noob if it wasn’t obvious yet), and took more than an hour of troubleshooting with grub and bash to finally see that the problem was about a drive with an UUID that did not match my system drive (a silver lining I guess). But, here’s the thing, as soon as the reboot loop started, I had an inkling of a suspicion that it might have been one of the old spinning hdds causing it (I need to replace those, but they’re fine and working for now, and in this economy…). So I had unplugged all of them when I did my hardware troubleshooting step, and kept only my nvme disk (which is brand new) on the system up to here. So I had been completely blindsided that even if the drives are disconnected, my system still won’t boot, because it expects the drives to be there, and if they aren’t, even though everything else is working fine, it won’t boot! This is my third gripe. Is this a default setting? Something about Fedora? Why is this the way it is done? It just doesn’t seem logical to me to lock me out of the whole system because a non-essential part is not working/present. Anyways, after unplugging and re-plugging the drives, I finally discovered it was not my drive, but a pcie sata expansion card that had timed out, and it was this one smaller drive I had been using with the card that was the problem, but after plugging it straight to the mb (the slots are precious, okay? I was saving them for bigger drives in the future), it worked just fine. My system booted normally. That was 2 hours-ish that could have been just 5 minutes if the system had actually told me it was having problems with connecting to a drive. Also, chatgpt did help, but boy, it didn’t have a good troubleshooting order at all. It was just shooting in every direction and hoping something would stick. But I don’t think trying to find my fix in forum posts would have been any better.

On June 30—the last day of the term and the final day of Pride Month—the Supreme Court issued a 6-3 ruling that states may ban transgender athletes from women’s and girls’ sports, holding that Title IX permits schools to determine eligibility based on “biological sex.” The ruling, authored by Justice Kavanaugh, was narrower than some of the worst-case scenarios: it preserved Bostock, did not overtly strip transgender people of equal protection, and explicitly declined to decide whether states must exclude trans athletes. But its most consequential holding still has vast consequences. The Court declared that “sex” in Title IX “cannot plausibly be interpreted to refer to anything other than biological sex”—a definitional ruling about the statute itself, not merely about sports. And though the majority deliberately avoided saying that blue states must discriminate against transgender people under Title IX, its holding leaves wide lanes for the Trump administration to pressure schools and colleges through funding threats and investigations, and for far-right organizations like the Alliance Defending Freedom to file lawsuits targeting trans-inclusive policies in every state in the country. The decision split along ideological lines, with all six conservative justices in the majority and the three liberal justices dissenting on equal protection. The majority declared directly, “The term ‘sex’ in Title IX, the Javits Amendment, and the Title IX regulations cannot plausibly be interpreted to refer to anything other than biological sex.” This ruling overturns years of lower court precedent. The Fourth Circuit, in Grimm v. Gloucester County, had held that Title IX’s prohibition on sex discrimination protects transgender students’ right to use bathrooms and play sports matching their gender identity. The Seventh Circuit, in Whitaker v. Kenosha Unified School District, reached the same conclusion. Those rulings—and the logic underlying them—were foundational to school policies across the country protecting transgender students in both red and blue states. The ruling was not as sweeping as it could have been. The Court specified two important limiting principles. First, the majority explicitly stated that it was not deciding whether states that choose to allow transgender athletes to participate are in violation of Title IX—noting that “that question is currently the subject of litigation in some lower courts” and that “nothing in this opinion is intended to decide that question.” This preserves, at least for now, the legal space for inclusive states to maintain their own policies. Second, the Court declined to resolve whether transgender people as a class are entitled to heightened constitutional protection under the Equal Protection Clause. This was one of the potential worst-case scenarios—a ruling on those grounds could have greenlit virtually any law targeting transgender people by declaring them undeserving of equal protection. Instead, the Court analyzed the sports bans as sex-based classifications subject to intermediate scrutiny, and found they satisfied that standard. Ultimately, though, the impact of this ruling will likely be severe. The most immediate consequence is that states across the country now have clear Supreme Court authorization to enact education-based bathroom and sports bans targeting transgender students, with Title IX posing no barrier. But the damage will not be confined to red states. The Court gave a wide lane for lawsuits against schools and colleges in blue states that allow transgender athletes to participate. Though the majority deliberately avoided ruling on whether inclusive states are violating Title IX, it heavily endorsed the theory that even a single transgender athlete on a girls’ team “displaces” cisgender athletes—devoting an entire passage to the zero-sum nature of sports, writing that “every athlete who makes a team takes a roster spot from another athlete” and “every competitor who wins a race or competition deprives another athlete of that victory, or medal, or prize.” That displacement framework is the foundational legal theory behind ADF’s lawsuits in Minnesota and other states, and it is central to the Trump administration’s Title IX enforcement campaign against schools that include trans athletes. The Court did not adopt ADF’s argument that Title IX requires exclusion. But it endorsed the factual premise on which that argument rests—and in litigation, the premise is often all you need. A more likely and immediate impact of this ruling, though, is the ratcheting up of the Trump administration’s pressure campaign against colleges, universities, and public school districts to capitulate to its anti-trans demands. Prior to the ruling, the administration conducted rushed Title IX investigations, finding school districts and universities across the country in violation of Title IX unless they voluntarily enacted bathroom bans, sports bans, dormitory restrictions, and more. Most of these institutions pointed to circuit court Title IX precedent requiring them not to discriminate as their shield against capitulation—telling the administration, in effect, that federal law compelled them to include trans students, not exclude them. That shield is now gone. And while institutions could still point to the Equal Protection Clause, the Court limited that avenue as well: the majority held that sex-based classifications satisfying even a general relationship to the state’s interests are constitutional, eliminated the ability of individual plaintiffs to bring as-applied challenges showing a classification doesn’t fit them, and declared that even if the factual premise underlying a ban is wrong—even if trans athletes on puberty blockers have no physical advantage—the ban survives anyway. “This ruling is deeply harmful for transgender women and girls who only asked for the ability to participate in sports with their peers,” said Sasha Buchert, Senior Attorney and Director of the Non-Binary and Transgender Rights Project, Lambda Legal. “Countless studies have demonstrated the myriad benefits that come with participation in team sports. Now, one population, transgender youth and collegians, are targeted for specific and baseless discrimination. We will not be deterred and will continue to fight back to secure the equal participation that all youth, including transgender youth, deserve.” You can read the full ruling here: 24 43 2b35 374KB ∙ PDF file Download Download Erin In The Morning is a reader-supported publication.
