International-student enrollment is sagging at many universities, particularly at the master’s level.

For those of you who have envied the marvelous, free school lunches children get served in Korea, there is, of course, a dark labor story behind. Older women, who are basically minimum wage slaves, work all day under grueling conditions to make them. www.koreatimes.co.kr/opinion/2025...

This isn’t getting enough coverage: Hundreds of people once held at Alligator Alcatraz Florida have vanished from federal records, prompting lawyers to accuse U.S. authorities of running a detention "black hole," as a new sprawling report from El País has revealed.

Oh shit do not click on the link or you’ll be up all night. On the other hand, way better than doomscrolling.

at my funeral i want pyrotechnics, merch sales and my wife listed as "CEO and Chair." i want all the weirdest freaks on earth there auditioning for expanded roles at court. keep my parents and any actual friends far away please

Man alive. I have studied Right Wing authoritarianism for years and have watched some truly fucked up shit and today’s memorial service is maybe the most concentrated example of how messed up and disturbing that sector truly is.

Was wondering if @lastweektonight.com would address the Kimmel stuff briefly or make it the "main story" (even though its "main stories" often involve months of prep and research). Looks like they went for it: www.youtube.com/watch?v=ohPT...

The presidential historian the NYT quotes as an authority can’t correctly recall what happened five years ago.

I know everything is stupid, but a day later and I'm still impressed at the gleeful public willingness to scream out "WE DON'T CARE IF OUR SIDE IS CRIMINALLY CORRUPT!"

Get in losers, we’re grieving

“The target repeatedly brought up Homan, saying he was collecting bribes in exchange for future government contracts, the two sources told Reuters.”

All I can say is, this whole Charlie Kirk shit is weird and embarrassing.

One stark marker of how much our society has devolved in just a few years is Bob Iger personally got on a call to convince us to let Disney/HULU make the 1619 Project. That America no longer exists.

“Over half of the ice detainees held in New York jails between January and July — and 62 percent in Nassau County — had no criminal charges or conviction, the federal data shows.”

X has restored the account of Gavin McInnes, founder of the Proud Boys.

Even if you can't attend these sessions, you can contribute to a scholarship fund so others can!

It strikes me that quite a lot of people knew for the last year that the guy running our horrific deportation squads took a bag with $50k in cash from undercover FBI agents investigating corruption, and it didn’t get out until now.

Be sure you take a moment today to remember Charlie Kirk for exactly who he was.

@washingtonpost.com editorial board has endorsed Trump’s idea to reoccupy Bagram air base. This is madness, and certainly evidence of that paper’s continuing obsequious fawning over the administration’s worst ideas.

So what happened to the $50K in cash Tom Homan got in the Cava bag? Was it deposited in his bank account and reported as income that he paid taxes on? Is it under his mattress?

Fucksake, this #discourse AGAIN? Yes this platform is smaller, very observant. But I don't spend all day being force fed Nazi slop or getting harassed by Nazis on a Nazi platform specifically engineered to amplify Nazis. It's not a hard decision, let's all just move on.

I was reliably told celebrating political violence was cause for government reprisal and private sector termination.

The NYT got its 5-byline version of the Homan/alleged-bribe story up around 2 hours after MSNBC posted its scoop. Which might explain why MSNBC broke its story in the middle of a Saturday afternoon www.nytimes.com/2025/09/20/u...

Anyway, a Dutch anti-immigrant protest in The Hague led by a minor newish 26-yr-old female right-wing political chancer, Els Noort, turned into a riot today, with hooligans torching police cars and smashing up the HQ of the liberal D66 party, completely without provocation nos.nl/l/2583352

And note that the lede reporter on the Homan scoop ended her 25-year career at the Washpost just last month, decamping to NBC News. Will Lewis, the Post’s CEO, had urged people to leave if they didn’t “feel aligned” w/ the company’s “significant reinvention journey” www.thewrap.com/carol-leonni...

On Thursday, I wrote a piece saying that Scattered Spider/ShinyHunters etc. were having a banner week, with so many news announcements connected to their hacks. Then on Friday, news came down that the UK busted two of the top Scattered Spider hackers, and now this. www.casino.org/news/teen-su...

Water treatment workers are grappling with how to protect against a new threat: hackers burrowing into the system and wreaking havoc.

oh fuck off

One thing to understand about most “Disney Adults” is that the parks have only gotten more expensive and crowded while offering less ever since they reopened in 2020 so it doesn’t take that much more to make people stop going. And the theme park forums are rightfully pissed about Kimmel

Surprise, surprise…

The termination letter The Washington Post sent to @karenattiah.bsky.social is insane. They’re claiming that white men are a protected marginalized group
