Cornell agrees to "invest" $30 million in things like AI farming. Cornell also agrees to pay $30 million to the U.S. for no clear reason or purpose.

BREAKING: Cornell caved. Here is the settlement agreement, signed today by the university's president, Michael Kotlikoff: statements.cornell.edu/2025/documen...

The Iron Pipeline: I tried to pin down the geography of gun stores and firearm smuggling in the United States, and how different state policies mean that around half of the guns in New York were bought in Georgia, Florida, or Virginia. I shared it before, but this is accessible and 1/4 the length

I've been making visualizations for social and political topics, but have learned now that I write far more words than anyone wishes to read 😂 In lieu: How retail patterns reveal demographic structure with precision unavailable through traditional political data sources I'll drop others in this 🧵

Was soll schon schief gehen.

Tja, lernen durch Erfahrung, ne.

'world's first trillionaire' and 'hellish economic crisis' will pair nicely for historians at least. so we've got that to look forward to

Sondern stattdessen in legaler Weise?

Laub ist ein wichtiger Lebensraum für Tiere. Bitte entfernt es nicht mit “deutscher” Gründlichkeit und vermeidet Laubbläser und -sauger. Lasst bitte den Tieren ihren Lebensraum. Diese Vorstellung, jedes Blättchen gründlichst wegsaugen und in die Verbrennungsanlage karren zu müssen ist unnatürlich.

people hate hearing this but it's 100% true, creating a huge pay gap between political leaders, their staffs, and other elites is a recipe for corruption. of course the flip side of that is taxes on the rich should be jacked way the hell up

Wo der Koalitionsvertrag schon jetzt gebrochen wird: - Deutschlandticket wird teurer - Mindestlohn niedriger - Keine Stromsteuersenkung Der Koalitionsvertrag zählt nur, wenn es um große Konzerne und um Abschiebungen geht. Wenn es um Entlastungen für alle geht, pfeifen sie drauf.

Er war jahrelang in der Jungen Alternative Sachsen-Anhalt und im rechtsextremen Verein Ein Prozent tätig - dennoch darf er in Sachsen in den juristischen Vorbereitungsdienst. Das entschied das Oberverwaltungsgericht in Bautzen www.medienservice.sachsen.de/medien/news/...

"Nazi, Nazi, Nazi!" Heute vor 55 Jahren ohrfeigte Beate Klarsfeld den CDU-Politiker und Bundeskanzler Kurt-Georg Kiesinger. Während des Nazi-Faschismus war der an deren Propaganda beteiligt. Als Kanzler wirkte er auf eine Verjährigung der Nazi-Verbrechen hin. Erinnern heißt kämpfen.

Every 2 years some "brilliant" person reinvents phrenology and some gullible publication publishes a lackluster piece about it. Congratulations Economist!

Yeah that tells me a lot: the company that signs up for this has incompetent leadership at every level and I should apply elsewhere

You can tell phrenologists are all lazy by the shape of their skulls

I'll bet it does.

It’s been a pleasure working with Lex and everyone in the politics vertical at Teen Vogue. I’m heartbroken that my column, Disability Visibility, is gone. Teen Vogue was one of the few places that published disabled journalists regularly. I just spent the last 2 months working on my next column

Soweit ich weiß, hat er's überlebt.

The PC game market looked very different in 1989 than it does today, with more emphasis on military and strategy games. That's why they had an award for... Best PC Non-Flight Simulator

No surprises here: Game Player's gave SimCity and Mega Man 2 their top honors. But once you start looking at the smaller awards, things get more interesting

Peter Mills who died in 1972 at 110 years old. Just shy of 3 years before I was born in ‘75. The last child of a slave, Daniel Smith, died in 2022 at the age of 90. Grandchildren and great grandchildren of former slaves are alive and well. I’m one of those great-grandchildren.

It's never been mandatory to believe all women or victims. Every single person who came forward throughout the history of MeToo, which started well before 2017, has faced new acts of violence as retaliation from their abusers and the public for upsetting the status quo

There always have to be specific cases—Aziz Ansari, Depp v. Heard—where the women who came forward are just repeatedly slandered in service of the narrative that they lied and they are examples of MeToo excess, even when they've only been harmed for coming forward and egregiously so!

When people talk about the excesses of MeToo, they have to lie, because the reality is that there was no massive social reckoning forcing people to believe survivors or hold perpetrators accountable. In fact, there has been a significant backsliding and new punishments in rejection of MeToo

Das Berufungs-Verfahren um die Jagd auf Journalisten in Dresden-#Laubegast 2022 ist beendet. Einer der schwersten pressefeindlichen Angriffe der vergangenen Jahre wird nur als Nötigung verurteilt.

I had a male coworker who said this openly. He regularly worked until 8 pm and he had two young kids at home. I asked if his wife liked being a stay at home mom and he was like “no, she hates it”
