Looking forward to this one-day workshop next Thursday: www.dependency.uni-bonn.de/en/events/lo...

honestly one of the most striking things about epstein's emails is the fact that the man, described in many places as "a genius," is essentially subliterate

University admin, too

The Speaker of the House shut the chamber down for two months to block the release of the Epstein Files and the president is huddled in the Situation Room of the White House to formulate a plan to keep them from being released, and I don't know why you crazy libs think there's some kind of cover up.

Why. Were. So. Many. Men. Regularly. Emailing. Jeff. Epstein. After. He. Was. A. Known. Pedophile?

Thank god! I had been worried about them this whole time.

I lost my job, my kids have measles, and I was just detained by ICE for 10 days despite being a citizen carrying Real ID. But at least I know the Oberlin Student Senate won’t be doing land acknowledgements any more.

Dems backed Trump into a corner where he’s advocating for starving Americans and hemorrhaging support. If they vote to let him off the hook in exchange for nothing it’s a cataclysmic failure. I know people are in pain but insulating Republicans from political consequences is not the answer.

If you can take even more dystopian news, this is a sobering read. "A third of [Ireland's] electricity is expected to go to data centers in the next few years, up from 5 percent in 2015." www.nytimes.com/2025/10/20/t...

Brian Schatz: "This is not about money. There is enough money to bail out Argentina with $20b. There is enough money to purchase a brand new aircraft for $173m for Noem. There is enough money to renovate the WH ballroom. What there isn't enough money for under this Republican government is you."

Maybe blindly relying on Amazon for so many things was what the preschoolers would call a red choice?

Oh wow

Did @nytpitchbot.bsky.social write this?

Brett Kavanaugh assures me this is the sort of minor inconvenience that shouldn't disturb anyone.

I received an email today notifying me that in January, my insurance premium is increasing 24.8%

also, if I’m not mistaken, the FCC chair just affirmed his plan to end free speech in America in a reply to the guy who played the wheelchair kid on Glee

Literally fascism. Literally what the Nazis did with Horst Wessel.

And then the dorks cheer the other dorks on because reasons.

the joke that got Kimmel kicked off ABC isn't even at the expense of Charlie Kirk. the way the US is accelerating in fascism is truly scaring the shit out of me!

The statement that got Kimel suspended: “We hit some new lows over the weekend with the MAGA gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them, and doing everything they can to score political points from it,” Kimmel said in his monologue.”

If you’re on academia dot edu, let me suggest that you strongly consider deleting your account.

Anyone with access to Oxford Bibliographies in Anthropology able to send me a PDF of this "Plantations" bibliography?

Both sides are NOT the same.

For no particular reason, here's a stained glass window of Bob Marley as St George, about to slay the racist dragon of Babylon. Taken at his house at Hope Road in Kingston, Jamaica.

I see yesterday's Colorado school shooting is not news today.

It is quite simply dishonest to describe TPUSA as a “free speech” organization and not even mention the “Professor Watchlist,” as NPR just did. Reporting on a crime does not entail adopting the victim’s views.

He was a very talented shitposter who was adept at creating selectively edited, “own the college kid libs” content that made his boomer billionaire funders and MAGA Republicans happy. That’s what his fans admired him for. There’s no need to pretend like he was something other than what he was.

These people genuinely know nothing of the history—white conservative state & vigilante violence has been arguably *the defining feature* of U.S. history. They apparently also know very little of the present, in which, again, the very opposite is the case.

This is amazing but also, WE SHOULD HAVE THIS NATIONWIDE
