Designing an icebreaker / get-to-know-you activity where some of the students are secretly instructed to treat each other as mere means.

Been talking about this trend for years when it comes to games spending. Why are there premium gamepads, $149 collector's editions, Pro consoles and general rising prices? Because the price-insensitive, affluent players are the ones doing more of the spending as everyone else shifts more to f2p.

This mfer is "happy jogging" down the beach at speeds that would make Eliud Kipchoge cry (27kph = about 3'30" miles)

Chicago: “The Border Patrol official said that snipers rappelled down from helicopters on top of the apartment complex, as a precaution from potential violence.”

“‘My building is shaking. So, I'm like, “What is that?” Then I look out the window, it's a Blackhawk helicopter,’ said witness Dr. Alii Muhammad.” Raiding a Chicago apartment building from above as if they were on a mission to capture Osama bin Laden. Absolutely demented.

If Lou were compressed into a black hole, he would have an event horizon that is about a trillion times smaller than a proton and he would evaporate in a trillionth of a trillionth of a second. I’m pretty glad he’s not a black hole… #pigeonsky #birdsky

some of you may know about my obsession with tracing the origins of the hipster subculture anyway, I may have found the original hipster, her name’s Cheryl and she lived in Olympia, Washington in the 80s here’s a photo of her by Michael Lavine from 1983 1/3

Another win for the people: Gavin Newsom signed AB288! The law states that if the NLRB fails to respond to petitions to vindicate the rights of workers, then the CA Public Employment Relations Board can take up the matter - this is particularly important for ULPs! legiscan.com/CA/text/AB28...

i would sign onto some grand bargain where we lock 'em all up. the president, every living ex-president, every living major party candidate for president, every ranking member of both parties. a small price to pay, and maybe not even a price at all.

Crying, my father continues to “watch the Yankees game” and he is but it’s a guy in the stands illegally streaming from Meta glasses or something

I asked Claude to summarize the Ariel Rubinstein paper "Equilibrium in the Jungle" (without putting the paper into context) and it reversed what to me is the most striking result (it said the jungle equilibrium is *not* Pareto efficient).

what New York City did wrt renaming “Columbus Day” is so far the absolute worst of all possible worlds and therefore funniest option they could’ve taken

"Working largely from Canary Mission’s list, Homeland Security Investigations generated between 100 and 200 reports on student protesters. DHS then referred dozens of such reports to the State Department, recommending that it revoke the visas and green cards of those individuals."

Have been seeing people talking about this and didn't realize it was the Vineland adaptation

I, too, would make sure that all the people who would need to coordinate to halt or reverse my political progress were gathered from across the planet in the same room while I demonstrated why they should probably do that

"The leaked emails further indicate that a prominent Canadian billionaire couple — Indigo Books CEO Heather Reisman and her spouse, Onex Corporation founder Gerald Schwartz — were the first to agree to back Gantz’s counter-BDS cyber campaign" jackpoulson.substack.com/p/leak-indic...

Smotrich, the Israeli Finance Minister and de facto military governor of the West Bank, compared Netanyahu to Chamberlain appeasing the Nazis for apologizing to Qatar.

Last week, I and others reported 5+ ICE flights had landed in Ghana since it began taking third-country nationals on Sept. 5. Now eNCA confirms at least one of those flights held Liberian, Nigerian and Togolese nationals, who were driven to Togo and dumped w/o papers. www.enca.com/news/west-af...

New from 404 Media: landlords are demanding potential tenants hand over employer login credentials so a tool can verify their income. I was sent screenshot of the tool, Argyle, downloading much more data than necessary to approve the renter. Opt-out means no housing www.404media.co/landlords-de...

Cornell is cancelling a distinguished professor's classes on Gaza and suspending him because of the complaints of a student who previously served in Israel's military surveillance agency and was literally recording the comments of other students in class and deliberately derailing discussion.

So exhausting..

ICE Nazis in Chicago tried to kidnap a food delivery worker but my man was too fast for those slow bastards

i don’t think he was supposed to post this. this is a company lobbying for medical cannabis, specifically for medicare coverage of it, and i think they made a whole commercial for an audience of one. “YOU will…” “cementing YOUR legacy,” millions will thank you… this was just for trump

I have been haunted by this statement all day www.kgw.com/article/news...

i need to find out the dates of a party i'm not invited to because a lot of my friends will be there and i'm trying to schedule my own thing i'm just gonna email the guy. i guess it might be more skillful to try and get someone else to tell me, but talking about it this afternoon everyone was vague

Northwestern is banning over 300 students for refusing to watch an extremist indoctrination video that demonizes anti-Zionists, including Jews, as Nazis and Klansmen. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Everyone, as Coates acknowledges, thinks that politicians need to win more voters. Obama and Harris can't sound like Coates. Coates agrees! But Klein argues that political culture (so the writing of people like Coates) shapes politicians and hints Coates should be mindful of that.

Greg's point is valid but one of the big problems with our media industry is that engaging with that degree of authentic human social context in their work gets journalists dunned as "biased" and usually dead-ends their careers. mainstream journos can't even let on that they vote let alone for whom

The South Korean Ministry of Defense has awarded medals of merit to 11 officers for disobeying direct orders of superiors during the martial law fiasco, orders that they deemed to be contrary to the constitution and endangerment to democracy. www.chosun.com/english/nati...

We can dunk on Silver. But the folks wildly hyping Adams in 2021-22 included Nancy Pelosi and Joe Biden. The desire for a prominent BLACK politician who was pro-police and hostile to the BLM movement was broadly shared within elite Dem circles. They ignored obvious signs he was corrupt and inept.

Still shocking to hear this kind of moral clarity from a major party politician.
