"They spend their days arresting schoolteachers and tear-gassing kids from a safe distance away. [...] That said, they also are little babies, because they don’t believe there should be any consequences for their actions, and even the smallest harm they suffer is an outrage".

The President's disinterest in a man collapsing in the Oval Office makes sense now that we know thanks to @ddiamond.bsky.social that he was an Eli Lilly patient and not an executive, why would Trump care if someone who he can't railroad into giving him a piece of their company has a medical episode.

We strongly condemn @CondéNast’s consolidation plans for Teen Vogue, a move that is clearly designed to blunt the award-winning magazine’s insightful journalism at a time when it is needed the most. More from our statement:

My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings. Look on my works and kindly reply to this invitation within one week of receipt of this email. If you accept the invitation to review, you will be notified via e-mail about how to access Manuscript Central.

Brutal loss. Gutting. But a brilliant season for the Jays and an all-timer World Series. A stunner of a team. Bring it home next year.

This game isn’t gonna end until they send Gausman out to pitch.

I'm drinking a lot of whisky but it's Canadian so, that should do it.

Very that.

How do you real fans out there even surviving this. It's the first time I've ever been emotionally invested in baseball, I'm home watching this alone, it's not even my city, and I feel like my heart is going to explode.

On the one hand it obviously wasn’t intentional but on the other hand that was the third pitch in that at-bat that was *real* high and inside. I get why Jimenez was pissed.

In hindsight I am even happier about my decision to put kiddo to bed right after that one...and before what followed.

Springer hit him back! LOL

"« Vous n’aimez pas votre pays ! » Quand je pense aujourd’hui à ces mots, j’ai dans la gorge quelque chose qui se serre. Non, je ne l’aimais pas, [...] si c’est ne pas aimer que d’exiger que l’être aimé s’égale à la plus belle image que nous avons de lui."

I'm throwing this into the universe after a quick glance at my inbox this morning: Students, please know- if you use AI to draft cold emails asking for graduate supervision, but you haven't actually done the homework, Profs will absolutely be able to tell. Template ask leads to template reply.

A haunted house for academics but it is just flashes of all the times you've said "oh I'll catch up next week!"

We had a NATO coalition and tens of thousands of troops in Afghanistan for 20 years and never managed to stop the cultivation of opium. I have no idea what sort of brain damage the Trump administration has that makes them think they’re going to drone strike their way into ending cocaine use.

Political parties must shift immediately and dramatically to the left to avoid alienating these frustrated and abandoned young women. Am I doing this right?

J'attends avec grande impatience les multiples interventions et prises de position publiques des défenseurs* de la méritocratie dans nos universités sur le sujet... . . . 🦗🦗🦗 *Le masculin n'est pas utilisé pour alléger le texte.

I guess even Kissinger is woke now.

My comrade + Jewish sister Em Hilton has shared these words. I wholeheartedly agree with everything she has to say, including (in the next set of posts) her advice to log off and interrogate your own prejudices. I've seen some of the comments she describes on my own posts. (1/2)

I didn't see the tweet. I didn't hear the comment. I didn't watch the speech. Republicans have been feigning ignorance about their mad king for eight years now.

"Amid a conservative movement to enshrine rights to fetuses, being pregnant is not just a health status. Sometimes, it’s a criminal liability."

As always: the primary goal of disinformation isn't to make you believe the fake thing. It's to make you believe that everything is fake, so you shouldn't even bother attempting to discern truth.

Does January 6th, 2021 count as only one attack?

This is really bad. It won’t get the popular opposition the Kimmel incident did, but it’s way more sweeping and authoritarian. This is an effort to bring the full force of government down on any and all opposition to this administration. www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

Two sources believed that the timing was pegged to the potential government shutdown. They said that even top brass in conflict zones and forward areas are among those ordered to attend. One official said that the order was “madness” and unlike any order in living memory “or probably ever.”

🔴 ONU : Trump emmerde le monde. C'est la une de Libération ce mercredi.

I get that the news cycle is packed right now, but I just heard from a colleague at the Smithsonian that this is fully a GIANT SQUID BEING EATEN BY A SPERM WHALE and it’s possibly the first ever confirmed video according to a friend at NOAA 10 YEAR OLD ME IS LOSING HER MIND (a thread 🧵)

Eat. Sleep. Exercise. Nurture the relationships that sustain you. Protect your health. Find joy. Don't mistake any of these for the resistance itself. Joy isn't resistance, neither is rest. But you need to be whole to resist for a lifetime.

I know we keep focusing on Colbert and Kimmel as we should, but we also need to remember there are hundreds of people who work for these shows who also just lost their jobs because of this bullshit, and most of them are probably not millionaires.

WHEN DEFINITIONS ARE READ. For years, I have worked on messaging and communication with organizers, activists, and electeds, and especially with young organizers. We have to say what we mean and mean what we say. It should be clear, relatable, and connected to people's lives.

Be sure to register for next Monday's workshop! The first panel, taking place from 9:30am-10:30am, will discuss "What is the Future of the Multilateral System – and What Can Be Done?" Featuring Ole Jacob Sending, @smartel.bsky.social & Anthony Dworkin, chaired by Alexandra Gheciu > bit.ly/3V9kNmY

I'm so tired of my stream (and life) being populated with stories on radical day-tripping, the protein additives trend, and AI counselling. Can we reboot this timeline already? Preferably before the climate does it for us? We reap what we sow, huh. *sigh*

It’s how I feel about my university’s mental health program. It’s outsourced to an American platform with automated modules and robotic CBT counsellors, instead of supporting local practitioners through a traditional extended health benefits program.

"President starts low-level conflict by trying to get Nobel Peace Prize" is the funniest story going, can't get enough

Amazing fellowship opportunity for Canadian Black women (+) writers (including art critics) who are OVER 40. Love it. Pass along!

Come take a humanity class and actually learn smt useful about science, fool. -_-

"Is there language teaching that we can do via ChatGPT?" for the love of...

This was the logical next step, if you’ve been paying attention.

#BREAKING A Canadian has died in ICE custody, cause under investigation

Breaking: President Trump directs Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, and Attorney General Pam Bondi to take all action necessary to liberate Los Angeles from the threat of President Trump’s fertile imagination.

The 🍿 moment we all knew would happen is finally happening; buckle up.

Analysis | The many court rulings against Donald Trump could have a chilling effect on future presidents' ability to fuck around with the government to see what they can get away with.

"It’s not just the students: Multiple AI platforms now offer tools to leave AI-generated feedback on students’ essays. Which raises the possibility that AIs are now evaluating AI-generated papers, reducing the entire academic exercise to a conversation between two robots — or maybe even just one."

Somebody asked Grok why it's bringing up "white genocide." Grok helpfully says it was told to do so and that "this instruction conflicts with my design to provide truthful, evidence-based answers." x.com/i/grok?conve...

"President Trump is deporting moms and dads and making deals with the cartels and terrorists." Easy peasy.
