At what point are other nations going to retaliate against US by treating US citizen travelers the same way our government treats them? EU asks for 5 years of social media history before entry for all US citizens?

This world cup is going to be a disaster

Support from Trump administration officials played a crucial role in the release of Andrew Tate from Romania, where he is accused of rape and coercing women into pornography, a New York Times investigation found.

you'd think that the fact the president of the united states is completely fucking insane would be a bigger news story

"I'm not in denial, I'm in open rebellion" damn that quote goes hard

I can't emphasize enough that they're trying to disconnect you from your own body and children so that those children will enter a fascist regime's snitch system / go to war / turn on you / buy things to fill their parent-sized hole inside of them.

This kind of lack of “imagination” - or, more accurately, this a-historicity & anti-humanities approach - from these technofascists will be the ruin of us

From NYC Department of Health: “Flu season is in full swing in NYC. Cases are rising sharply across the city, sending New Yorkers to emergency departments. Getting an annual flu vaccine is the best way to protect against severe illness and hospitalization from flu.”

it’s pretty funny that Duffy is simultaneously 1. scolding passengers for not wearing fancy clothes while flying 2. supporting airport gyms so passengers can be sweaty and gross while flying both of these proposals are idiotic but the direct contradiction is next level

This kind of bottle-shaming is a not-so-subtle way to push women out of the workforce.

I spoke to my 77yo dad last night, and he was telling me the progress he’s made with his trainer since he injured his knee about 16 months ago. Ironically, he just did his first pull up in ages! Plus, he‘s vaccinated.

their list of terrorist criteria is also a list of things I appreciate in my friends, family, and trusted coworkers - plus some stuff I learned at church as a kid

100% THIS!!!!

cosign; “completist” is not always a virtue

Pardon my choice of words, but this is just fucking sad. I sincerely hope no World Cup teams are coming to the US by boat.

This FIFA mWC draw on Fox is bad. Not only did they give their “peace prize” to DT, a convicted felon whose Administration is literally being investigated for unlawful murder of citizens in the Caribbean, but they also gave too much time to the charisma-less Rio Ferdinand & the try-hard Kevin Hart

I love the US postal service and am happy to pay $30 a year for it

What does it say about this country that that the kind of open, rank bigotry Trump administration officials regularly express towards black immigrants apparently has no social cost because of the number of Americans who quietly agree or don't care.

Not joking: has one reporter responded to his preposterous Sgt Schultz “I know nothing” schtick by immediately asking: * Doesn’t this level of ignorance disqualify you as speaker? * Do you really think we are so dumb to believe you? * Do you think it is appropriate to insult the voters like this?

i’m genuinely so convinced all of this has been a planned operation by the student and her mother (who is commenting on this publicly, and associated closely with the republican party), and big far right propaganda account going all in on it. this is designed to oust trans people from public life

I'm about to go on a much needed break (should probably be longer tbf) buuut I am writing a piece for @theflytrapmedia.com about children's rights and feminism and I would love to speak to feminists who have thoughts about this. email me at nicolefroio at gmail dot com

It’s useful to think about things like this in numbers of tenure track professors. $53M is 575 assistant professors. Or more than thirty percent of the total number of full-time faculty at LSU.

I found this terribly sad. A young woman with her life ahead of her, and she becomes one of the last American victims of the Long War.

Important to do this press conference about a mass shooting from behind a comic book convention’s folding table inside the hotel from The Shining.

I can’t believe people in the room don’t push back. It doesn’t matter if he’s the president, part of holding him accountable is standing up to his bullying— especially if he’s doing it right in front of your face

At what point will the press corps, as a chorus, in unison, just shout back, “THATS NOT TRUE”! What are we doing?

I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture. They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1

we're going to win

“’Well, do you know about Lars Jorgensen?’ Every single time, they’ve said no, And I just say, ‘You know, it’s hard for me to care about Riley Gaines tying for fifth when my swim coach is accused of raping my teammates.”

I think the most successful disinformation campaign since the advent of electronic media was probably Russia's in 2016, though Musk buying Twitter is gaining steam. The last decade has made the Cold War CIA look like a bunch of amateurs

The Great Black Hope: Doug Williams, Vince Evans, and the Making of the Black Quarterback

This hearing just began with a State Board of Education member trying to bar a Council on American-Islamic Relations representative barred from speaking because she leads a "terrorist" organization. (Yesterday, Gov. Abbott designated CAIR as such).

2x in this morning’s CBS Sunday interview Portnoy claimed that he & Barstool have a strong “moral compass” but, even at the surface level, his actions & words don’t necessarily match 🧵1/5

This below is in the context of computer science but we all need to be having this conversation about whether "using AI" in classes prepares you for future jobs or whether actually doing the thing yourself prepares you for a world in which you may or may not use AI. The idea that using AI to write/1

Icymi, from @premthakker.bsky.social and me:

So many vulnerable people were hurt, harassed and raped by these ghouls and now—I’m worried—it’s gonna become hehe haha lurid internet circus instead of a long overdue moral reckoning. I’m scared of who we all are becoming. That man has brought us ALL low.

Every academic should join the @aaup.org national and their local AAUP chapter. If your uni doesn't have one, start one! Colorado academics, check out @aaupcsu.bsky.social! We're active, growing and looking to collaborate. Join the resistance on academia's front lines.

man went to profile someone notorious for getting inexplicably horny on the job and got inexplicably horny himself

a good afternoon walk on Scarborough State Beach

Politically orchestrated removals of multiple university presidents, state manipulation of governing boards to eliminate institutional autonomy, the ideological firing of multiple instructors, restrictions on campus speech…after years of censored teaching and research in numerous state systems. 1/

Every decade, we hear "the kids can't read or write!" Interventions that don't work are proposed. Those that do work are ignored: reducing class sizes, making kids & families feel safe at school and welcome, becoming a community resource. When their expensive reform fails, they yell at us again.

Not questioning my choice to cancel Disney+

No. Science in its best form is that if you think you can disagree - or agree - with it, you run an experiment and perform research backed by scientific experience and knowledge, and then compare your results to the ones previously achieved. You don’t just get to bleat “Nuh-UH!!!!” and get respect

New York Times killed Weinstein and Epstein stories but just asked Ms Rachel if she was funded by Hamas.

"hey guys notice that the same people complaining about having to deal with silly 'cancel culture' standards don't feel like they should be moored by literally any other set of standards either. curious thing going on there wouldn't you say?"
