Good case from @adamgurri.liberalcurrents.com for impeaching Pete Hegseth. A key point raised here is that we shouldn't ever assume anything is politically out of reach. Think big and it shapes a better form of opposition politics: www.liberalcurrents.com/impeach-and-...

This is worth a read. As noted, the large rises in people being diagnosed with ADHD, Autism etc are fuelling conspiracists: 'something must be "damaging" our kids'... No, the prevalence of symptoms in populations is stable over time. It's just being recognised now.

Stop replying to the cinnabon lady should be free do do racism actually Atlantic guy, this is literally why he's doing it, all the engagement is just data he uses to go back to his rag and get another byline pushing more inflammatory garbage

Guys, just block the Atlantic when they insult your intelligence. They're only going to do it again. You're not missing anything.

UPenn's student newspaper went HARD 🤣

This take is--astonishingly--moving from "plausible" and toward "likely" with each passing day.

I recommend that someone in State learn about and consult the EU GDPR provisions. I don't see how this wouldn't constitute a MASSIVE violation.

One under-appreciated part of this: note the bit below about “and their dependents.” Under the Trump admin’s new policy, dependent children of visa applicants are not allowed to have their social media set to private during the entire visa process. They MUST make their social media public.

So as someone who has friends staying at women's shelters *right now*, recently had to get medical tests done at a birth control centre and also closeted in the past in homeless shelters because I didn't want to freak anybody out: Christ, this proposal would have a death count.

Kids in poor countries are all getting a free copy of the Olivia Nuzzi book along with their “Super Bowl champion Buffalo Bills“ T-shirts this February.

This is my fave of his

Almost nonplussed by now. All I can say is that this is NOT sustainable. At this point, trans people can't just keep hoping that each and every random bill that moves toward passage doesn't contain existential threats. Dems HAVE to be consistent on basic human rights. Simple as. Fish or cut bait!

Perfection.

Cool stuff!

Garbage-ass British Media remains undefeated in its rivalry with facts and decency.

Don't let the name fool you: Death Valley is a starkly beautiful and varied and fascinating landscape. If it's ever an option for you, I highly, highly recommend visiting. I've been to a solid proportion of the National Parks by now, and it's easily the most underrated of them.

We will be the last generation of academics who know the literature well enough to tell if a publication is real or not real at a glance.

Alex Turner is just objectively one of the sexiest men walking the earth, right? Like it's not just a me thing? I legitimately think this picture just impregnated me.

The President of the United States unilaterally levied a tax on all of us and is redistributing our taxes to a core segment of his supporters.

To go after a family for no other reason than that their daughter sparked sympathy is appalling. Absolutely appalling. Beyond cruelty into outright sadism.

Movie you’ve watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Stars (Wars nor Trek), LOTR, or Marvel, Disney Animated or Pixar.

The Financial Times finally covers the Network State cult. Is this tech fascism? "I mean,we are funding companies that will operate non-democratic cities...and if you're not into that you shouldn't move there," says Peter Thiel protégé Patri Friedman.

Many such cases. Tom Cotton is just perenially egregious.

At some point someone just needs to say “you are an indecent person, you are lying to cover the slaughter of defenseless men, you know you are lying, and even under the tenets of your own professed faith you will certainly burn in hell if you continue down this path”

I give it six months before he’s donning a military uniform and giving four-hour speeches from balconies.

If you've never visited a Frank Gehry building in person (although you likely have), the novelty and the sense of creativity is striking. The man definitely made the world a more interesting place. R.I.P.

The fact that four hostile drones tried to hit Zelenskyy’s plane & it’s barely a blip in the news cycle should terrify everyone. We’ve been dragged so deep into the chaos era that an attempted strike on a world leader doesn’t even break through. When this becomes normal, the world is in real danger.

does anyone else notice the giant lady doesnt cut up your hot dogs anymore!?

Do it, Trump. Reopen Action Park.

Unsurprising answer: Brad Pitt. Always a good performance and rarely a bad movie. You get a terrific cross-section incl. Interview w/ Vampire, Se7en, Spy Game, All "Ocean's", Moneyball, 12 Years a Slave, Ad Astra, and [Maybe my favorite movie outright] Inglourious Basterds

Ok month. I suppose they can't all be winners.

There's a lot of students-these-days discourse happening right now and i just want to quietly remind my colleagues that your students can also read your very public social media posts, and even if things are coming from a place of humour or frustration, they may not know that

“Get out of my fucking seat.”

"Look: I may have been raised by jackals and can't contextualize a joke, but I make up for it with snide arrogance!" Don't do this shit. Especially not to a stranger who's acting out of good humor and not to one of my best friends.
