The lionization of Charlie Kirk genuinely proves the point about centrists and leading media figures. The man dehumanized women, minorities, transgendered people, Muslims, etc was building bridges by debating others on these views that all these people are less than human. What a great guy.

And nothing of value was lost.

“Libraries should be beautiful and open; inviting, not intimidating. It’s not a shrine, but a place where you can spend time freely, take part in discussions, public consultations, or meet people,” he says. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/s...

I have a talk on Wed about my previous #PSLF work and early data w/ 2nd wave, including #IDR - going through some of this new stuff and... It ain't good. Descriptives in the pictures Food security, suicidal ideation, servicer trust If these hold true with more data, we have a BIG problem.

Pure fucking evil. Everyone involved in this shit needs to be held accountable.

New Mexico is giving people under 65 access to Covid shots. I am relieved to live in a state that is prioritizing public health. www.santafenewmexican.com/news/local_n...

There is a video game which is The Name of the Rose featuring a pixelated Sean Connery. I am losing my mind here!

I’m so tired.

It's my experience (from 25 yrs of teaching) that "learning management" tools like Canvas do nothing to facilitate student learning & make my job MORE, not less, time consuming. That additional time I put in contributes zero to improving the student experience. But Canvas gets our money regardless.

Hey man your TOTAL INFORMATION COLLAPSE & THE END OF ALL CONSENSUS REALITY T-shirt is kind of bumming out everyone at the beach

I have lived and worked through the most horrific wars, and this is the first time in my nearly 15-year career in human rights and diplomacy that I have seen a STARVING DOCTOR TRYING TO SAVE STARVING PEOPLE without having food, water and medicines.

The prairies were once home to grizzly bears, wolves and bison — top species that indicated the health of their habitat. Left holding the line is the lesser prairie chicken. sfnm.co/479yf1m

"How bad slavery was" is worse. Much worse. Much worse than you think, much worse than you're taught, much worse than museums depict. Worse.

I love to show up every day for my job, which is standing around holding the front of my tactical vest and getting told to choke to death by thousands of passers-by while 11 of my coworkers handcuff a roofer on his way to work. Every night I drive 80 minutes home, thinking about nothing at all.

Bye Bye Big Bird 😢 No more #npr

I feel this in my soul

Something to look forward to in this Hellscape.

My colleague Shaun Walker attended the funeral of reporter Viktoriia Roshchyna in Kyiv today. She died alone and in unimaginable suffering, somewhere inside Russia, after being taken captive. Her body was returned in February and finally buried today 💔 www.theguardian.com/world/2025/a...

Yup and a bunch of working class and legit middle earners are like, "fuck yea, buddy! That's how business works." But also want a free market or something...

This is so breathtakingly cruel that my soul glitched. I’m never surprised by the depths of depravity, per se, but having to process it still exacts an emotional cost. www.npr.org/2025/08/08/n...

Love this for those boys

I hate it here

Cutting your humanities programs is performance art in the guise of budget cuts and everyone in academia knows it and everyone outside does not and that's why they can keep going doing this bullshit.

My father was a coal miner, and all of the men on his crew have passed away. He’s all that’s left. He’s 68.

I kinda think the way people use ChatGPT is sort of aspirational because it seems to emulate the way rich people have sycophants lying to them all the time until they lose touch with reality and also their entire minds

despite everything, i still believe in the potential of humankind to create utopia. but it will require hard work, courage, and above all else extremely deep v-necks that go almost down to the dick

This is such a cute film

The best way to "be good at AI" is to learn core skills that allow you to catch all the errors produced by LLMs, but by the time you reach that skill level you will have nothing but disdain for the technology

Someone was having fun

For all you lichen enjoyers

Look at her. I love her.

I've seen some talk about how we are witnessing the end of the professoriate as we know it and this may be true, but I think it's bigger: it's the decimation of the mission-oriented profession. Want to make a middle-class living serving the public good? Capitalism doesn't want that for you.

“Critics…see degrowth as a Luddite fantasy, motivated by middle-class consumer guilt,” Casey A. Williams writes. “[But] almost all degrowth proponents…insist that such sacrifices would…open more avenues for self-fulfillment.”
