Now, today, this time, for everyone at the UN wondering about what they just saw there 👉 www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

so many dead canaries and we just keep on mining

Post a movie you like with a terrible rotten tomatoes score

Adrian Klenz, who works with deafblind adults in Wisconsin, said he was told the grant was apparently flagged bc of the words "transition" (as in, transitioning from childhood to adulthood) and "privilege" (one parent said it was a privilege to work with the program's staff). ...

If professors can be fired for discussing topics not explicitly mentioned in the course description and/or not toeing the ideological line of elected political leaders, there is no academic freedom in Texas.

Lemme speak with directness and a sense of urgency about our most important economic threats, and what history teaches us about moments like this.

Every person that teaches a course on media and politics should be archiving all of these headlines as examples of how the media can frame the news to fit their existing narratives.

I will doing an executive order requiring Star Trek 4 begin production no later than January 1, 2026! Thank you for your attention to this matter!

@radiofreetom.bsky.social might have something to say about this...

The thing about a lot of these never Trump Republicans is that, unlike a lot of institutionalist Dems who think the fever will break and we can all return to comity or whatever, these guys saw the rot up close and know the only appropriate response is to tear them out of government root and branch.

If you had told me in 2012 that Mitt Romney’s presidential campaign manager would be posting like this 13 years later i would not have believed you

Holy heck....

Back-to-school reminder: The market rewards education Average earnings: High school dropout | ### ($35k) High school grad | ##### ($47k) College degree | ######### ($87k) Masters degree | ########### ($106k) Professional degree | ##################($184k)

This *should* be disqualifying for any national political aspirations. Time will tell.

remember folks, we cant have gun restrictions because if we do the federal government will occupy our streets, imprison people without due process, ship dissidents to foreign gulags and things of that nature

Turkey is the cautionary tale. Erdogan swapped economists for loyalists and forced low rates. Result: inflation peaked at 86%, still painfully high. That’s the movie you don’t want a sequel to. Posting the full interview over on my fledgling youtube channel: youtu.be/faKG7dtmxtU

Without downloading any new images, where are you mentally?

When the news media reckoning finally happens, their failure to even acknowledge how bonkers things like this are must be front and center. It is such a shocking failure of basic journalistic practices that I cannot even find the right words to describe the breadth of their failure.

So, since Republicans are now advocating for government control of private industry, should we assume they are OK with government taking over health care?

something something means of production

Watches? WTF?

the crisis in which the University of Chicago is now engulfed -- one entirely of its own making, and which has led to the (hopefully temporary) suspension of admissions into numerous PhD programs in the humanities -- represents I think a seismic event in the history of American higher education 1/

If you want to understand the mentality of GOP voters, you can read fifty New York Times focus groups in which Trump supporters give polite answers to polite questions - or you can listen to this voicemail and learn what these people *really* think. Believe me, they all hate us this much.

Trump Confesses that the United States Is a Client of Russia www.emptywheel.net/2025/08/18/t...

Life comes at you fast

OPSEC is for weenies www.npr.org/2025/08/16/n...

Owner of the Trump Burger restaurant chain in the Houston area has been arrested by ICE for overstaying his visa and may be deported.

The U.S. government is run by Stephen Miller, Laura Loomer, and whatever rando Fox puts on TV when Trump is watching

It is going to take us decades to recover from this... if we ever do.

Thanks, @unitedairhelp.bsky.social for reminding me why I try to fly Delta whenever possible.

We fucking told you.

I know nobody under 30 will believe me, but this is the sort of scandal that ended careers, back in the before-times. Congressional hearings, weeks worth of Nightline reports, the whole works. The press _lived_ for this stuff.

If you live in/represent a Blue State, want to gerrymander the FUCK out of your state, support and are willing to fight for a national anti-gerrymandering law you are principled, consistent and doing exactly the right thing.

😳

Dems should fight on every front. If Texas steals 5 seats, Dem states should redistrict 30 GOP members out of their districts. We should insist DOJ release the entire Epstein File. Not only shouldn't we bring knives to a gun fight, if they bring pistols, we should bring machine guns.

Truss: Wow, I'm really unpopular Starmer: Hold my Guinness

I just need one member of the media to ask Trump how much a $500 drug would cost after a 1500% discount.

#UCLA should make sure to send thank you letters to the presidents of Brown and Columbia for making this possible.

I hate slippery slope arguments, but this looks REALLY bad. And this doesn't begin to address the throwback gender language that looks like it could have been written in the 1940s.... wow. #academicsky

This should have every professor at Brown University terrified. And looking for work.

How has this man's story not been made into a movie? He survived the Nazis, basically invented CPR, invented modern emergency medical services, AND created the first ICU in the US... #PeterSafar #medicalhistory #EMS #CPR #ICU #FreedomHouse en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_S...

Hello, I'm a political science professor in a film. I am inevitably a political theorist with no training in data & no knowledge of current events. I will opine on Marx & Plato, but I don't know who POTUS is. There is a bust of Thomas Aquinas on my desk & a huge globe in the corner for no reason.

My last living musical hero is still my hero but unfortunately no longer living. RIP to the great, great Mr. Tom Lehrer.

Ghislaine Maxwell was granted limited IMMUNITY to speak to Trump's private attorney and Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche. The cover-up here is astounding.

POLITICO compiled a list of all the Washington Post staffers who have left in the past eight months. It’s at least a hundred names, many of them among the biggest names in journalism. This is the fastest erosion of a major outlet ever.

Yes, ok, sound bad, but on the other hand Rubio did bring back a triple murderer from Venezuela and release him in the US www.politico.com/news/2025/07...

Wait, I thought this was about anti-Semitism? 🤔

Not only is their capitulation utterly craven, but it puts a target on every other college and university in the country.
