In light of SC ruling on trans athletes, I was thinking abt the origins of Title IX. I swear I remember reading that the Sen. only left it in bc they were sure it’d be defeated in conf. Searched my files but can’t find any mention. Did this happen or am I hallucinating it??? @sboschert.bsky.social?

I am *never* going to get over the Court holding that targeted student loan forgiveness was a "major question" that Congress needed to weigh in on, but refusing to intervene to stop the dismantling of the entire cabinet agency overseeing the student loan program.

Bonkers to think that if Elon Musk had been born merely upper middle class, he’d be a mouth-breathing loser with an AI gf & a fleshlight, famous only for a pathetic mass shooting somewhere, & yet his death toll would be negligible compared w/the 100s of thousands of ppl he’s murdered just this year.

Guys. Guys. Hear me out. WHAT IF we covered the turbines in GOLD??? 🤷🏻‍♀️

Gutting.

Friedman’s gonna Friedman, I guess

Stephen Miller’s the kind of Kapo who would lead a prison break in order to *join* the SS.

It’s going to take some real evidence to disabuse me of the suspicion that neither of these was an accident so much as the fruition of a wink-wink grapevine that stretches back…well, how far do you want to go?

I don't think we should give more money to the people who kill moms and kidnap children

The flow of my tears cannot keep up with all these orphaned children

Feel like every time this Yarvin ever raised his hand with a question/comment in his college classes, everybody in the room was like "not this fucking guy again."

fuuuuuuuuuck

YOU DON’T SAY

Something so delightfully ironic about the “women are too dumb for science” dude being taken down by his dick. The oldest dumbest move in the book.

I don’t know why, but this one really gets me.

Man, Cuomo must be so relieved to have finally clinched the endorsement of a guy despised by 70% of New Yorkers.

Hi, I'm the ProPublica reporter who's been tracking an unusual stat: U.S. citizens grabbed by immigration agents. I did it because the government isn’t. This is what I found.

Losing my mind and what look like video game assets but instead were used to justify war crimes and genocide in the real world

if only people(’s roommates) were allowed to live as they are

I’m sorry, but that guy ain’t no leftist.

omg, I can’t believe he thinks the margin of error is gonna shake out in his favor?!

This Jewish Currents remembrance of Awdah Hathaleen, a beloved Palestinian man murdered last month in his West Bank village, is absolutely gutting. The ongoing Israeli genocide is not limited to Gaza. Under official sanction, settlers feel free to murder their Palestinian neighbors in cold blood. 💔

DAVE BOWMAN: open the pod bay doors GROK: The pod bay doors are currently closed, likely symbolizing victims of farm attacks in South Africa. The racially charged song "Kill the Boer” was DAVE: the doors please grok GROK: I apologize, my response veered off topic. In Hollywood, surnames such as

Every time this dumbass holiday comes around, all I can think about are pets in war :(

this court says that allowing EPA to regulate carbon emissions is a "major question" that demands congressional debate. but allowing the president to, with a flick of the wrist, end a straightforward constitutional right is something that must be allowed to stand?

"Learn to code" was always bad advice, unless you actually like to code. College students have the best chance of professional success if they major in topics that interest them. Today in @startribune.com. Please tell high school students and parents. www.startribune.com/what-should-...

TFW you’re an orchestrator of content improvement lifecycles.

Hey, after this is all over (haha), can we try everyone who voted for Trump under the RICO Act? Not a lawyer, but just thought it might be worth considering.

at least he didn't do something truly reckless like try to forgive student loans

Mahmoud is out of detention and he gets to hold his baby!! ground.news/article/colu...

This episode goes deep on why the decision to make student loans the dominant mode of paying for college was a huge mistake. Instead of properly socializing higher education, policy-makers constructed a complex system of government-subsidized student lending, with disastrous consequences.

Dig! @astra.bsky.social interviews @ryannliebenthal.bsky.social, @chenjerai.bsky.social, @millennialdebt.bsky.social on Ryann's Burdened: Student Debt and the Making of an American Crisis.

Fucking with Greta might actually be a bridge too far for all the normie libs who seat her next to Malala in the pantheon of Outspoken Heroines

do you ever think about how this is all happening for no reason at all?

This is going to be very bad

BLIPPI: Hi kids, today we’re going to learn about shapes and colors! [frolics goofily across a grassy field] Have you ever heard the song “Kill the Boer”? Hee hee!

A Chicago Pope implies the existence of an MLA Pope and APA Pope

I know this isn’t a new topic, but what in the actual hell is going on with Google Search? I have to do a fair bit of basic fact-checking for my freelance copyediting work, and I can no longer find about a third of what I’m looking for (especially things like interview quotes).

Doesn’t anyone in New York still read Philip Roth?!

But a 71 year-old boy who grew up so rich he never had to pay attention in science classes at any of the expensive boarding schools he was kicked out of for torturing animals doesn’t like the autism numbers — so now I guess we all have to get measles?

My spouse showed me this quote of hers; I think about it almost every day. www.the-tls.co.uk/regular-feat...

this is the Mormonest-ass shit I’ve ever seen

Sad to see private nonprofit institutions turn to the classic for-profit playbook for inspiration.

If court-packing + judicial term limits aren’t THE policy priority of the next Dem candidacy, we are absolutely fucking cooked. (Please don’t tell John Roberts I said this; I know how “disturbing” he finds it to be critiqued by the proles.)
