I’m sure there are more criminals and felons in the current administration than are getting rounded up by ICE

La stratégie de sécurité nationale américaine prend les Européens pour cible et ménage ses adversaires

American public opinion is largely generated by foreigners who make money by lying to Americans over unregulated social media. Out of respect to those entrepreneurial foreigners, we will continue to treat their commodified fictions as one side of a reasoned American debate. -The Editorial Board

If I’m understanding this correctly, X is owned by a white nationalist who pays poor people of color in developing countries to pretend to be working class white Americans to scare other white Americans into being afraid poor people of color from developing countries are going to ruin America?

The Humboldtian research university ideal, as a child of centrist liberals redrafting of the early modern four faculties towards disciplinary specialization, is over. A product of liberalism as dominant it could not survive liberalism's collapse, even as a revenant. bsky.app/profile/anna... 1/

“If there is any story at all to the whole nihilistic affair, it’s the atrophy of American art over the past half-century…It’s not art — just a more eccentric version of stock trading.” Does “America” merely symptomatize, or does it render this thinkable? hyperallergic.com/1058360/maur...

Donald Trump’s approval rating has tanked and Republican suffered heavy losses in last week’s elections. There’s never been a better time for Senate Democrats to cave on the ACA extension.

Mamdani is going to impose Sha Na Na law. Everyone will be forced to wear gold lamé, have pompadour haircuts, and go to the hop

Editor @kwissoker.bsky.social joins The Academic Publishing podcast to talk about how the finances of a press work, and how authors should think about the funding of their books, from subventions to list price: academicpublishingpod.alitu.com/episode/500f...

LOL, naturally the NYTimes, engaging in just the most open self-parody, has a big homepage video for Ross Douthat "Mamdani's victory is less significant than you think" so you have to scroll down to see anything else, because they have to be sullen and bitter about it.

The long-running ideological war on libraries, education, and government workers is not separate from AI boosterism. It is the same ideological war on human knowledge and expertise. In some cases AI is being used to directly supercharge this effort: www.404media.co/ai-is-superc...

C'est un tournant historique et sinistre : les partisans de l'Algérie française et de l'OAS, jusqu'au-boutistes du colonialisme, obtiennent leur revanche à l'Assemblée nationale avec l'adoption d'un texte du RN dénonçant l’accord franco-algérien de 1968. www.lemonde.fr/politique/ar...
