absolutely insane story, and yeah, just looking at this chart... with the exception of maybe two people, this entire class was cheating like motherfuckers

I, too, have been declared too "controversial" to have an athleisure line....

Really love this piece, captures something I've wanted to say for a long time. There's an "every accusation is a confession" aspect to this, of course -- nobody is more sweatily obsessed with performance &image than MAGA types -- but there's also something deepers going on.

by @lyz.bsky.social "It never ends with a joke. Jokes are a test of boundaries, a way to push until your achievements are a punchline, your work is just a hobby, and your passions are something to be set aside to devote to his life, his dreams, his needs"

The supposed lack of civility a certain HR organization would be aghast st

Second straight year, a Drake is taking a massive L #SuperBowl

it reveals pretty plainly that "merit-based hiring" means "you belong to the correct class and hold the right set of identities"

Kare 11 local news just read, in full, this statement from Michael and Susan Pretti, the parents of Alex Pretti. "Please get the truth out about our son."

Anyone claiming he was “resisting arrest” should volunteer to be surrounded by several armed men while being pepper sprayed and pistol whipped to demonstrate the proper way to comply

I have spent my entire adult life being lectured by Republican politicians and conservative legal movement types about how important it is to preserve the sacred constitutional right to self-defense of *specifically this person* and then secret police murdered him in the street

The brave ICE officer was afraid that the victim was going to break free of the half dozen agents holding him down and about to attack him with the sidewalk.

Look, I believe in casts, but if a parent has strongly-held anti-cast beliefs, they should be allowed to let their kid’s broken arm grow back all floppy and fucked up, even to the point of lifelong, debilitating pain. And that’s not child abuse because a kid’s bones are their parents’ property

This must be weird news to see if you’re one of the literally hundreds or even thousands of university administrators who preemptively censored faculty, scrubbed websites, changed the names of centers, etc.

Saying the officer who committed murder is a murderer is dangerous, but it's OK to claim that his victim was a domestic terrorist who literally ran him over.

"Now the legal penalty for not complying fast enough, or complying with the wrong set of conflicting instructions being screamed at you by multiple people, or reflexively hitting the gas when there’s a gun pointed at your face, is death by firing squad."

Best TikTok thing going is the two dudes trying food from every country without leaving NYC. If you haven’t seen them yet, it’s incredible. My favorite so far is last week’s. Legit got me emotional.

This is *definitely* how you behave when you're trying to bring every resource to bear, rather than trying to cover up the unlawful behavior of your own personnel.

They released chemical weapons on kids. It’s a school. Kids were the bystanders.

COMMENTARY: It seems an increasing number of Americans, including elected leaders and journalists, are afraid to tell the truth about what happened on January 6. That's dangerous.

My whole life, advocating war has been fed to me as “the adult position,” akin to drinking your coffee black or reading the business section of the newspaper. Let’s be very clear — war is the childish nonsense of impulsive destructive idiots playing baby-brained video games with real human lives.

Chairman JCOS: “Months of planning…” soooo not an imminent threat justifying self-defense

Mamdani: For too long, those fluent in the good grammar of civility have deployed decorum to mask agendas of cruelty

The price of coddling conservative ignorance and malice is astonishing.

Rubio Orders State Department Braille Signage Switch To ‘Times New Roman’

The Republican hacks on SCOTUS start with whatever ruling will help their fellow Republican partisans and lazily work backwards from there, barely offering an excuse for their egregious hackery. John Roberts keeps complaining no one respects them. Yeah, because we’re actually paying attention.

Working In General Vicinity For 8 Hours A Day Misinterpreted As Friendship https://theonion.com/working-in-general-vicinity-for-8-hours-a-day-misinterp-1838142520/

I find OU's actions throughout this story to be very concerning, not only because the university caved to a bad-faith reactionary smear campaign but also because it appears to be enrolling students who are borderline illiterate

The fact that the OU Psychology department gave the grad student a teaching award a day or so before the suspension is another tell. I’m surprised the social posts about it were up long enough to get cached by Google

Introduce yourself with the last 5 concerts you saw: Tame Impala Pulp Supergrass Nine Inch Nails Oasis

Former UVA president Jim Ryan, who resigned over the summer due to pressure from the Trump Administration, just shared this 12-page letter with the Faculty Senate, detailing his experience with the Board of Visitors and DOJ. It's a surreal--and troubling--read. drive.google.com/file/d/1Is6x...

Let me fix that for you: Texas A&M is limiting how instructors may discuss gender identity and race in classrooms in an assault on academic freedom unseen in America since the Red Scare.

If you have to get permission to teach in your area of expertise from people who are definitionally not qualified to adjudicate your expertise then you are no longer working at a university. You’re working at a state propaganda factory.

you could fact check this — there aren’t 30 million illegal immigrants and there is no evidence that the presence of an immigrant in say houston has any impact on housing in madison, wisconsin — or you could note straightforwardly that this is just nazi rhetoric

Good fucking morning to everyone except every MAGA official who’s covering up for Donald Trump’s involvement in Jeffrey Epstein’s crimes. They knew about these emails that implicate Trump. They knew he was at the house, on the plane, and that he spent time with the victims. THEY KNEW.

All day, many of you have been asking for a Cheney obituary from me. Get ready:

Border Patrol agent Lairmore testifies that he was not injured by the sandwich, but he felt the impact through his ballistic vest. The sandwich came apart and "kind of exploded" on his chest upon impact, he says. "I could smell the onions and mustard."

Some of us have hated Auburn for “reasons” since we were kids, but there is still plenty of room on the hater bandwagon.

“I swore never to be silent wherever and whenever human beings endure suffering and humiliation. We must always take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented.” ~Elie Wiesel

The half-life on our National Conversation™️ about toning done the rhetoric lasted about as long as expected.

In 24 hours we have the politico story about the Kansas Young Republicans praising Hitler, the GOP congressional staffer call with a swastika in the background during a Zoom chat, and now this.

The "anti-woke" backlash was always about white collar labor competition from nonwhites, not hr bullshit. bsky.app/profile/phil...

the extent to which media elites treat liberal americans as if they do not count in the body politic is a real problem

one of my takeaways from this great piece is that weiss just doesn’t…sound like an intelligent person? or at least, not someone who has thought even a little bit about how and why they think the things that they do. www.youtube.com/watch?v=gieT...
