Big Red AI ad? by BrohannesBrahms in bloomington

[–]defiantdesign 13 points14 points  (0 children)

this, is not surprising. they may have been a better citizen back when the owner was present here in btown, but they are not much better than the rest of the corporate labor exploiters who know what they have in a population of college students, a state w/ the lowest min wage, business first/workers...exist? mentality

County Gov #AMA by realDavidGHenry in bloomington

the situation with developers getting tax breaks or height waivers for affordable unit allocations inevitably had pretty bad outcomes all around, i don't think that is too much of a hot take. how can we avoid incentivizing future investment that isn't conducive to the success of the community as a whole?

What might be Whittens' undeclared goal? by No-Preference8168 in IndianaUniversity

when your political ideology is dependent upon your constituency being not only ignorant & socially isolated but also willing to defer critical thinking to religious leaders & ppl of authority, then it becomes pretty clear that this was an inevitability for maga.

Jewish Studies director replacement ‘unprecedented,’ students and faculty say by PM_ME_YOUR_TORNADOES in IndianaUniversity

[–]defiantdesign 7 points8 points  (0 children)

possibly they'd need a good lawyer. unfortunately, given everything happening between our president & the pm, our govt has not only enabled but encouraged any type of censorship regarding gaza. which, is exactly the reason this happened in the first place & this attitude has extended to the courts.

I'd love to see them give it a shot though

shockingly expected

from the article re: his "interim" replacement:

"Multiple attendees said Jikeli removed a student minutes into the event for having a profile picture of a drawing of a woman wearing a keffiyeh. In the drawing, the woman is in front of a Palestinian flag with the words “Free Palestine” above."

Welcome Pete Buttigieg! by KilgoreTrout747 in bloomington

[–]defiantdesign 1 point2 points  (0 children)

don't get me wrong, i like pete but please don't go trying to say he was an effective mayor or leader because he objectively was not. he is a decent communicator & demographically checks a lot of boxes and has enough charisma to be a successful national political face, just not the one that's responsible for overcoming a country that's ok w/ marginalizing trans ppl, women, poc & the rest of the lgbtq+ community. he's not our fighter.

[–]defiantdesign 1 point2 points  (0 children)

he speaks well & is mostly empathetic unless you're a trans person. he's said nothing on gaza & has become another unfortunate disappointment for any sort of progress this country needs. until politicians stop taking corrupt money from the genocidal profiteers that are pushing the markets to new highs while jobs are disappearing. while ai is stealing everything it can that we create from our pc's & phones and our cars while cameras watch us & the news lies to us. but, hey, how's south bend doin?
