“I can't believe ABC Fake News gave Jimmy Kimmel his job back. The White House was told by ABC that his Show was cancelled!”

the most important thing to remember when you see eugenicists who don’t believe that autistic people should exist rambling about “the autism epidemic” is not that they’re wrong about the “cause” (although they are absolutely wrong about it); it’s that they are eugenicists

After President Trump signed a proclamation on Friday to add a $100,000 fee for new applicants of H-1B visas for skilled foreign workers, different responses from tech leaders show how the Trump administration’s visa change is rippling through the tech industry.

Priced out of the housing market, there's been an increase in the number of *families* living out of RVs. Inflation, rising utility costs, and slowing employment options could exacerbate the trend. But this isn't the picturesque #vanlife you might imagine. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

Kamala Harris on The View on election night: "That night -- I grieved in a way that I have not since my mother died. The pain was not at all about losing a race. I knew what it was going to mean for the country ... all I could say over and over was 'my God, my God, my God.' It was very difficult."

How it started // How it’s going

The fact that Trump refuses to meet with leaders of the opposition party, and that Republicans control Congress, does seem to suggest that they own, and welcome, any shutdown

this is wild. and harrowing. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/23/w...

A $100k “price” for H1-B visas is like a tariff on STEM labor. And the first rule of tariffs is clear: never tax your inputs — that just makes American firms less competitive than their foreign competitors.

What?

Oh!

Sounds like the US is about to bail out Trump’s pal Javier Milei. ‘America First’ always has lots of exceptions.

That's a LOT of current/former Disney talent. @thr.com $DIS www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/j...

Algú ha fet un bon anàlisi de les dades micro de les darreres enquestes? Em passeu l'enllaç, si és el cas? Gràcies!

No crec que l'amnistia sigui el factor explicatiu aquí. Els factors que expliquen el creixement de l'extrema dreta catalana estan lligats amb els que expliquen el seu creixement a nivell global.

Potser ara entendreu la diferència entre el nacionalisme d'extrema dreta i el nacionalisme que no ho és, tot i que porteu anys posant-lo tot al mateix sac.

Well, this is reassuring. Light at the end of the tunnel?

You did this to yourself, Disney.

NYT: “I fear that every signal that he is receiving, including Jimmy Kimmel, is rewarding him for what he does and the way he does it,” Kamala Harris said of President Trump.

Shame on Downing Street for going along with this. So much for being committed to a free press

Canceling speech because a corporation is scared that an administration won’t let them do a corporate merger makes you less free

When we warned about authoritarianism-canceling two of the four late night hosts because Trump doesn’t like them, that’s what we meant.

Interesting take:

Yes, it does matter.

Respectfully disagree: 1) in fact it is unusual for a democracy w/ this level of GDP to turn authoritarian & so quickly; 2) the weakness of both institutions (congress & courts) and individuals (Schumer etc) is shocking. Would take less than 10 people in congress or 2 SC justices to stop all this.

I was meaning to cancel my Hulu account for several months but I forgot to. I did it today.

I was at a panel at APSA that discussed this issue. Ryan D. Griffiths just wrote this book about it: global.oup.com/academic/pro...

The end of Foreign Language and Area Studies fellowships and National Resource Centers means the loss of critical language and area studies expertise across the United States. These are the actions of an administration that cannot imagine the future, presiding over a declining world power

if you're in the US, look to your left. now look to your right. if everyone's dead, it's because almost the entire population of this country apparently died from drug overdoses last year.

No sé què hi pinta el President Illa en tot això, però em sembla meravellós que encara hi hagi gent que busqui maneres de promoure els estudis catalans al món.

Molt bona notícia! www.llull.cat/catala/actua...

Translation: Republicans in Congress are doubling down on raising your health care costs.

The collective need to map a coherent ideological narrative onto a guy who was etching meme and video game references onto bullet casings implies some bad things about our current politics.

Cheers from APSA in Vancouver.

So like just after we published this, the 4th Circuit held a hearing where a bunch of judges (including famously conservative ones) are just going out and out with "wtf is wrong with the supreme court, why are they doing this nonsense to us?") www.politico.com/news/2025/09...

"A majority of Brazil’s supreme court judges have voted to convict the country’s former president Jair Bolsonaro of plotting a military coup, leaving the far-right populist facing a decades-long sentence for leading the criminal conspiracy." www.theguardian.com/world/2025/s...

So uh there's a lot going on today. But I wrote this icct.nl/publication/... Did you know the US has added 12 *criminal groups* to the Foreign Terrorist Organization list this year? There were zero such FTOs last year. For decades, US allies have copied US terrorist designations. Not this year.

Seems like a good time to ban guns on campus

Inflation heated up in August at a 2.9 percent annual rate — a faster pace than in June and July — as trade policy continues to filter into consumers’ wallets.

Bona Diada, catalans!

I'm horrified by the shooting of Charlie Kirk at a college event in Utah. Political violence has no place in our country.
