I genuinely wonder what the fuck the people who are in charge of universities think universities are? Like in their mind, what do they believe is the point?

I like to distract myself from the terrifying political news by reading the ridiculous political news.

"Assemble the Board of Peace - I'm starting a war".

At least we know in the hours before the attack Hegseth was laser focused on keeping Americans safe

Time is a flat circle

happy 14th anniversary to all who observe

The Ford Pinto had a death rate of 85 people for 10 million cars sold. The Cybertruck hasn't sold 10 million, but the fatality rate so far maths out to 1,452 people killed per 10 million sold. The Cybertruck may be the deadliest road car, for the occupants, ever sold. fuelarc.com/evs/its-offi...

i am mortified. i've been writing art code in #rstats for several years now and it was only yesterday that i realised how useful the cauchy distribution is if you want the untidiness in an image to feel naturalistic

"An Associated Press reporter was beaten by the police and detained along with three other journalists on Tuesday in Cameroon while reporting on a secretive Trump administration program to deport migrants to the Central African country, according to two of the people detained." (gift link)

Fascism is here. 🇺🇸 CBS is dead. ☠️ More people will now see this interview Trump tried to bury than ever would have otherwise. 👀

This is the interview Donald Trump didn’t want you to see. His FCC refused to air my interview with Stephen Colbert. Trump is worried we’re about to flip Texas.

I don’t know who needs to hear Jesse Jackson leading the kids on Sesame Street in this beautiful call-and-response reminding them that every child is somebody, but here it is

Gus Johnson: "The difference between UVA and Ohio State is that UVA paid for it. Ohio State, they've given all the money to Ryan Day."

Checks out. #rstats

He’s absolutely right that prisons and other detention places were bad under Dem presidents. And know what today’s critics of ICE did then? Complain abt it and demand change. Is this just a lame deflection, or do GOPers like this genuinely not understand that not all ppl put party loyalty first?

Today is the 52nd anniversary of the release of "Blazing Saddles," the plot of which involves business and political interests leveraging ordinary people's bigotry in an effort to obtain power and financial gain. People like to say that that movie couldn't be made today. Shit, we're living it.

Oh, you know, just a metro daily newspaper running a service journalism roundup of munitions the government has used against its own people

Holy shit.

📌We must never forget how quickly all these pathetic universities, corporations, and media outlets surrendered to this murdering fascist regime greasing the skids for all this.

Not complimentary in any way to Trump, I meant an insane reactionary cat owner who loves berets that spends his time desperately pleading for attention would be his best case if he had of had to work for a living

If Donald Trump was born without a hundred million dollar inheritance he absolutely could have grown up into Curtis Sliwa

My family and I, and the entire Japanese American community on the West Coast, were denied due process during our internment in WWII. It is a cherished, critical right for all people within the U.S.’s borders.

this year, I'm giving all my Christmas gifts to the richest child in the neighborhood. I'm sure they'll trickle down to all the other kids eventually

If you are using AI for academic research, you should be fired. The only thing I use it for is to convert citations, real citations, into bibtex format. If you haven't at least read the abstract of a paper, don't fucking cite it.

If we treated him like a normal president he’d be in prison right now

Reagan was bad. I think a good thing to remember about this stuff is that most of the guys around Reagan thought FDR was as evil as I think Reagan is, but they still worked to sell Reagan to the public as the true inheritor of FDR's legacy rather than a repudiation of it.

J*F*C This is *exactly* the sort of thing I've been screaming about for decades: anti-science lofted to the level of a government-funded colossal waste of money, as well as more eroding of public confidence in science. RFK Jr. is an immense danger to this country.
