No one says to legit business owners, "hey I see there's an underground market selling toxic knock-offs of your product: how will you incorporate the toxic product AND protect your customers against its harms?" But apparently it's fine to make this suggestion to educators with respect to AI.

Remember when Jeffrey Epstein and Donald Trump’s lawyer, Alan Dershowitz, wrote an op-ed trying to justify having sex with kids? Seems relevant now.

Every Democrat running for office needs to promise investigations and full prosecutions from top to bottom, remove its funding bloat then break up the agency and distribute its core remaining useful functions across other agencies.

If you’re wondering why your friends in academia are a little on edge right now, it’s because an eighteen-year-old who hasn’t done the reading, doesn’t look at the assignment, and has does no critical thinking skills more complex than “because I think it’s in the Bible” can literally end your career

Keep this statement in mind when we're able to restore the rule of law.

CBS paid the president of the United States millions in bribe money and now they censor news reports so it does not annoy him. I don’t know how much plainer we can put this.

Yglesias referring to Senator Van Hollen as a "safe seat clout-chaser" is so despicable. VH took a stand to prevent Abrego García - an innocent man - from being disappeared into CECOT for life.

Every single democratic senator voted to confirm Marco Rubio as Secretary of State. Every single one. Not one “no” vote.

this might be the greatest Christmas photo ever

At least 20 people who have received clemency from President Trump so far this year were also forgiven of financial penalties totaling tens of millions of dollars. Some of these offenders owed money to real-life victims of fraud.

David Brooks, who wrote in the NYT last month, "The Epstein Story? Count Me Out" is... in the latest Epstein photo dump published by @oversightdemocrats.house.gov. He should absolutely be fired by NYT for this. Major conflict of interest that he didn't disclose.

Can't say I'm surprised. But wow.

Never forget: Elon Musk has blood on his hands.

"Wrong house-we're WHITE" is chef's kiss.

May his memory be a blessing

As we mourn Rob Reiner, don’t skip this: he was, pretty much, personally responsible for overturning California’s Prop 8 banning same sex marriage. www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/bus...

It is important to promise, now, that whatever Trump builds at the White House will be torn down as soon as he leaves. www.hamiltonnolan.com/p/if-he-buil...

We all know Clarke's "sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" Well we have corollary:

There's a message in here, can you see what it is

MAHA

I know we’ve been talking about the 25th Amendment being invoked for years now, but we should probably be talking about it a lot more and a lot more seriously right now.

This is how Putin escalates conflict with Europe--through proxies in Belarus.

Alina Habba was first ruled to be playacting as US Attorney on August 21 (though she had already been playacting at that point since July 1). So taxpayers have paid for Alina to pretend she's US Attorney for 109 days.

The latest from an honored member of the Royal Society. Every week he attacks the foundations of society in the UK and the EU and @royalsociety.org is apparently too worried about retribution to do anything about it.

MacKenzie Scott: *donates $50M every 10 hours° Joe Lonsdale, co-founder of Palantir: "I want to see people hang"

36 years ago today, 14 women, most of whom were studying engineering, were killed by an anti-feminist gun man at École Polytechnique in Montreal. I was a young graduate student studying physics at the time and I will never forget. #MontrealMassacre #NeverForget 🧪 👩‍🔬 ⚛️ 🎢 #AcademicSky 🇨🇦

My group contains one of the world's biggest Swifties. At a big party tonight, my wife blurts out, apropos of nothing, "I hate Taylor Swift," not aware of her devotion. 🙄

The dripping contempt the right wing SCOTUS majority holds for district judges is truly a sight to behold every time. When they deign to give actual reasons for their shadow docket holdings, it’s “look at the absolute idiots who keep getting everything wrong!”

LOL:

On the plus side, AI is making a small set of already wealthy individuals MUCH MUCH richer. So there's that. www.currentaffairs.org/news/ai-is-d...

“When participants used ChatGPT to draft essays, brain scans revealed a 47% drop in neural connectivity across regions associated with memory, language, & critical reasoning. Their brains worked less, but they felt just as engaged—a kind of metacognitive mirage.”🧪

Where’s the CBS News town hall focused on the Democrats assassinated in Minnesota?

These are good moments to remember that the CEOs of all the biggest companies in America are happy to go to White House dinners and slap this guy’s back. They do not care about this. Remember this, years from now, when they want you to forget.

Trump Appears To Doze During Stroke

In a dangerous and divided world, Canada and Europe are elevating our defence partnership. That means more access to new equipment for our Armed Forces, more investment in Canada, and massive opportunities for Canadian workers and businesses.

For some reason Democratic leaders seem to prefer telling voters what they won’t be able to do, rather than what they’d like to do. If Hegseth ordered a war crime and lied about it, shouldn’t Ds try for impeachment? Put Rs on the spot. They might get a few defections. www.axios.com/2025/12/01/j...

I've found my new avatar.

Texas Tech has decided it wants to be a football program affiliated with something equivalent to an air conditioning repair school

Condolences to the students at OU who *were* working hard, doing the course work and earning good grades long before the administration there decreed that you only need to say "as the Bible teaches" and be done with it. I'm sorry your university hates you and hope you can transfer somewhere good.

This right here.

OU has put the professor here on administrative leave:

I don't think my output is very blue, but perhaps @profanity.accountant has a different take?

When it’s fishermen they’re pretending are low level drug runners, they’ll bomb and then circle back to finish off the survivors. But someone convicted in a court of masterminding a massive cocaine trafficking scheme? Well, he’s wearing a suit. Come on.

LOL, I've been showing up on the UofA subreddit lately

We are setting the scene for the world’s most unsympathetic version of the face-eating leopards, which is really saying something

Mom dad did you see my latest article where I wrote down what the famous man said
