I know one person who didn’t get a single boo at Madison Square Garden.

I can honestly say I've never been swayed by celebrity endorsements but I just saw Uzo Aduba advertising a multivitamin and thought "I do trust your judgment, Uzo Aduba" and bought a pack.

You, but as a cartoon.

Congratulations Qween Jean!! #Tonys

If you let them ban porn, they will call you pornographic when they ban you.

Just a constant horror show as the privacy of trans patients is constantly eroded. As a former patient of Mount Sinai, this is a massive betrayal to their patients. Your medical records are not safe with them. gothamist.com/news/nyc-par...

The Trump administration is illegally withholding $150 million for domestic violence service providers, which has led to "layoffs, diminished services for survivors and sacrifices among advocates." A 24-hour hotline is now closed on nights and weekends. 19thnews.org/2026/05/dome...

nicki minaj's agent: [sighs, pinches bridge of nose] no, no invite yet. look i told you i'll call if i hear anything

Martina no

So unbelievably angry. This is blatant child abus, a shocking escalation in the kind of everyday violence against trans kids that has already cost lives. Everyone involved in enacting this must resign, and every teacher, counselor, and social worker must be vociferous in our condemnation. Get loud.

"The Military Academy at West Point... cannot prevent a professor, Tim Bakken, from expressing his opinions to students in the classroom on subjects he teaches, Judge Cathy Seibel of U.S. District Court in White Plains, N.Y., said in the ruling."

I’m going to borrow “I am mandatorily requesting” for future email purposes.

I'm 95% done with my grading. The remaining 5% is focused on me writing comments on students' papers so they understand how I derived their grade and to provide guidance on what parts of the essay are excellent and what could be improved and how to improve it for clarity and rigor.

You come to me, on the day of my son's wedding, which I am not attending

To combat the ideological indoctrination that exists only in their minds, state legislators will now mandate actual ideological indoctrination on college campuses. www.kcrg.com/2026/05/20/i...

Our highest ranking intelligence official, everybody.

People gave Joe Biden a lot of flack for pardoning Hunter, and I get why, but it's striking how relatable and human that parental love was compared to whatever's going on here.

Incredible stat in the latest Democracy Perceptions Index: the United States' global net favorability has fallen to -16. That's 38 points lower than it was under Biden. It's 23 points worse than China. 52 below Canada. The US is now less popular around the world than *Russia*

Rep. Eugene Vindman is doubling down on the forced outing of transgender students and though he says he "disagrees" with defunding schools that support trans people, he voted for it anyway because he really likes the forced outing portion.

UNC-Chapel Hill Trustees Reject Hiring of Tenured Women’s Studies Professor www.theassemblync.com/news/educati...

BREAKING: The House of Representatives just voted to require teachers to forcibly out transgender youth against their will. Censoring "gender ideology" does nothing to advance the basic promise that every child deserves the same opportunity to thrive, and that includes transgender students.

I say without hyperbole that this is the most brazenly corrupt action in US Presidential history. That it does not immediately lead to impeachment is a dangerous sign of how far the rule of law has declined.

Dems should exhaust legal options to stop this, and if they can’t, go ahead and use this faux settlement model to pay reparations to migrants, disenfranchised voters, and trans people in 2028.

“Instead of student loan forgiveness we’re doing a coup forgiveness program”

We are dismantling gender studies at a time when it has more explanatory potential than ever before.

sorry, i work at a university in a red state, and it’s illegal for the women & gender studies faculty to spend research money to attend their conferences. what in the fuck are they talking about

I’m tired of the dishonesty of this entire debate. The folks calling for “perspectives different from their own“ are shutting down Women’s and African American studies because they hate differing opinions. Marginalized folks had a small foothold, and powerful people decided to push them out.

Just searching for the best show on Epix.

I love everything about this aesthetic: the airport terminal carpeting, the least comfortable couch ever, the windows awkwardly backlighting them, the depressingly flat skyline, the impression that one man was put through four instagram filters, etc. No notes!

As someone whose three year old has demanded Monsters Inc. (2001) the past dozen weekends, I reject this premise.

I admire the hell out of these Texas Tech students, who held a funeral for academic freedom: pen.org/texas-tech-a...

Jesus Christ, I do not like the future we’re speeding into.

I'll just note that critical race theory predicts quite a lot about the current racial retrenchment and for being *correct* it was pilloried in the press and by some academics.

Looks like Canvas isn’t the only thing abruptly shutting down and abandoning my students during finals

And here I had forgotten about Article II's Love Tap Clause!

Hacking canvas? What do they think this is, the Isabella Stewart Gardner museum in 1990.

All of our Canvas pages have apparently just been hacked during finals, and without expressing any opinion on the merits of Canvas or hacking as a political act, HAVEN'T AMERICAN EDUCATORS BEEN THROUGH ENOUGH THIS YEAR
