"From where I’m sitting, that’s why Justice Jackson...ruled herself here—rather than allowing the full Court to overrule her. It drastically increases the odds of the full Supreme Court resolving this issue by the end of next week—one way or the other."

your honor, every single crunchwrap is more supreme than this court

I admire his honesty in this case but I do not love it when the president's closest economic adviser fails to predict the massive negative impact of the administration's policy choices

Chris Rufo/Ron DeSantis overhauled New College and made it "the most financially inefficient school in the university system" Degree yield is 19%, 2nd-worst in Fla. Operating funds per student at New College: $83,207 Same category at Univ of Florida: $45,765 www.heraldtribune.com/story/news/e...

HAPPY FOUR SEASONS TOTAL LANDSCAPING DAY TO ALL WHO CELEBRATE

The Cornell AAUP chapter has consistently stated that any deal with the Trump administration would be strategically unwise and a betrayal of Cornell’s principles. This remains the case. At best, we can say that this deal could have been worse. Read our full statement here:

Panera’s moderately caffeinated lemonade was loosely associated with 2 deaths before it was taken off market. This article alone has 4 examples of ChatGPT encouraging young people to commit suicide, and OpenAI’s own public stats estimate over a million users discuss suicide with ChatGPT each week.

This is fantastic. Make sure you stick around until the record scratch at the end.

NEWS — The Oregon Department of Human Services has issued 100% of November SNAP benefits, per an alert on their website. I've received reports that the funds have already hit recipients' EBT accounts. www.oregon.gov/odhs/news/Pa...

Prices since Trump took office: -Groceries: ⬆️ 2.7% -Utilities: ⬆️ 11% -ACA premiums: ⬆️ 26% -Overall consumer prices: ⬆️ 3% Trump: “I don't want to hear about the affordability.”

Cornell has reached an agreement with the federal government to restore our funding: statements.cornell.edu/2025/2025110...

The US is the world's largest oil and gas producer. Yet, "China is now making more money from exporting green technology than America makes from exporting fossil fuels."

The amount of extra work that federal employees are having to do right now (with no pay) just to make up for the incompetence of the GOP in Congress is quite stunning.

When deception’s more profitable than honesty, users lose. Internal documents suggest that Meta earns $3.5B(!) every 6 mo. from scam ads, revealing a deeper systemic problem: the economic incentive to tolerate “higher legal risk” content still outweighs any penalty. www.reuters.com/investigatio...

Getting nervous for the talk I'm about to give at a workshop about "using AI to drive impact" which features slides such as these.

The advances we've made in statistics, experimental study design, and causal inference over the past century are remarkably useful for understanding our world. But there is never been a push to make people use them like we are seeing with generative AI. Perhaps take a moment to consider why.

"At the meeting, Musk claimed that Optimus robots 'will eliminate poverty,' 'give everyone amazing medical care,'...He also said the robots could be used for 'containment of future crime' by following criminals around and stopping them from 'doing crime.'" 🤔 www.cnbc.com/2025/11/06/t...

Indeed, he was allowed to to kill all those children because he is so rich

Incredible.

making Jacob the stereotypical Bluesky user is the rudest and truest attack anyone has ever made on us

Hahahhahaha

The thing about being a woman and navigating the world, is that you are never safe from being sexually harassed by strangers even if you are a freaking head of state. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Again, the conflict between the “Hitler wing” and the center of the GOP is like the fights between the Klan and the White Citizens Council. The councils mostly agreed on substance, they just wanted to distance themselves from the tactics of the Klan’s vulgar commoners.

He was credited for being popular on TikTok, but New York’s new mayor spent his time on the city’s streets. Read more from @thedextriarchy.bsky.social: www.theverge.com/policy/81406...

Thinking about this Mary Oliver poem this morning. Don't hesitate.

And here's the paper, led by the incredible Silvia Mari, in which we find that stronger beliefs in traditional gender roles is associated with less voting intention across 18 countries. link.springer.com/article/10.1...

"New York will remain a city of immigrants, a city built by immigrants, powered by immigrants, and as of tonight led by an immigrant." - @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social

Good morning! No matter how bad things look at times, politics is not over, and a better day is possible when our fellow Americans come together and demand it be so. Time to get (back) to work.

I knew it would take less than a day for a tiktok dj to make something.

This person took this when they called the race

Mamdani cracks 1M votes, the first NYC mayor to do so since John Lindsay in 1969

so it turns out that fascism is unpopular

Savor this moment, friends. They couldn’t buy their way to a win. They couldn’t racist their way to a win. There are more of us than them, and we fucking beat them. And we can keep beating them.

Well, well, well. www.nbcnews.com/politics/ele...

Just wanted to follow up on this 👀 nypost.com/2025/07/19/u...

BREAKING: Zohran Mamdani wins the New York City mayoral race, NBC News projects. nbcnews.to/4nIzNUC

I'm just happy for my many many friends in NYC that they will have a mayor who loves and understands the city and will try to make it a better place to live. he will surely have wins and losses, exceed expectations and disappoint bitterly. but he loves your weird city so much.

To prep for the higher ed policy class on censorship next week, I'm rereading Schrecker's No Ivory Tower. Buddy this intro has it all! SCOTUS jumping on the bandwagon, disregard of first amendment rights, why congressional hearings played such a key role, how private companies aided the government.

sorry but mamdani and cuomo should have worn blue and yellow hats, respectively

They're running this country like a budget airline. Nickle-and-diming customers who can't afford a full-price ticket on a decent carrier.

Beautiful end to the day.

Directly defying a court order so that he can withhold food from the poor

We experience these events through our media bubbles. So please take a little time to look at the details. For example: here is how DHS described one incident in Chicago. Now watch the video, which tells a different story. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/whos-threa... bsky.app/profile/news...
