Gave a talk on Thursday where I aired out a small piece of a very large forthcoming book, and it went over pretty well which is a big relief.

Gross. Like a whore, when it comes to Trump we are really just talking about price.

Commander Burp is going to blow the shit out of some motorboats to distract from the files.

You know what? Investigate them all. Democrat and Republicans. Throw them all in jail if necessary. Like I care what happens to Larry Summers.

Dear Monica,…

The fact that Trump is calling Mace and Boebert today pleading with them to remove their names from the Epstein petition at the last minute tells you everything you need to know about how incriminating the info in the files is to him and his cronies.

I have pointed out for years that I share a birthday with Neil Young and Charles Manson. Friends, there is an addition to the birthday list.

It’s Canandaigua Treaty Commemoration Day today!

8 ancient Democrats, wealthy beyond what most of us can dream, who’ve never feared that they might go without, who’ve never worried about the cost of medical treatment or medication, screwed those who carry those concerns every waking moment, demonstrating the uselessness of the Democratic Party.

Several years ago a young woman went to prison for encouraging her boyfriend to kill himself. Suing these companies into oblivion is not enough. Their leaders are criminally responsible.

We should totally do renewables. Wait, what? He did what? JFC. Trump wants to protect coal, an industry that employs fewer than people than the Cheesecake Factory.

I’m 5-11 and hardly the biggest dude in the world, but this seat is so small I cannot fit a book in my lap to read it.

What an avoidable disaster. www.newyorker.com/culture/the-...

Flying today and Sunday, home to California to celebrate my mom’s life. Not worried about making it to LA. Our return trip may be a bit more in doubt.

I don’t mind that the NYT has some conservative columnists. What I object to is that two of them, Douthat and Bret Stephenson, are idiots.

When I moved from Montana to NY (Rochester! Not NYC!) 27 years ago, conservative colleagues said “don’t get mugged” and “watch out for the criminals.” “Don’t get a disease,” said another. Nothing new in the anti-Mamdani, any NYC rants from the right. The same old racism in new clothes.

Long ago, my mother’s family was made up of Irish immigrants to New York City. Last night was a good night. Though I have never lived in NYC, I was very much inspired by Mamdani’s decisive victory over the old people who have failed to address such screamingly obvious problems.

Dick Cheney is to JD Vance what Lawful Evil is to Chaotic Evil.

It was Subway, made from ingredients compressed with high pressure, plastics, and whatever film Jared left around the place. Flavor and nutrition? Non-existent. But the structural integrity of a flung Subway foot-long is high. A real sub sandwich? THAT would have exploded.

Teen Vogue published some fantastic work on Indigenous affairs, better than anywhere else.

I will vote and canvas for the candidate who primaries Schumer and Gillenbrand from the left.

The neighbor’s dog left a giant exododus on the front lawn.

Mike Johnson: ‘My Christian Faith Is More About Not Jacking Off Than Feeding The Poor’

Trump Does exactly what he said he was going to do, and loses support. Low-info voters and civic illiteracy are greasing the skids toward despotism.

Does anyone at that network listen to the words that come Out of their fucking mouths?

People fucking hate this guy. They fucking hate ICE. They fucking hate how much power he has. He is at 63% overall disapproval to 37% approval. That's lower than their poll after January 6th. And this poll was done before he started intentionally starving people. I wish our media would reflect this.

Go Bills.

Is it possible for both teams to lose?

Reporters: ask whichever Trump official you get in front of you this question: “Are you an antifascist?” It won’t matter and won’t change any minds but it’d be nice to see you all acting like the Fourth Estate.

Best 3 minutes you will spend on the internet today.

The closest I have been to an Ivy was to walk through the Harvard campus as a tourist about 20 years ago. Never visited, taught at or studied at any Ivy. But I’ve been a professor for 30 years and this has never happened. This is harder to believe than THE NAME OF WAR.

By this point I firmly believe that SCOTUS will accept Trump’s reasoning on the 14th. It’s bullshit, and bad history, but the outlook is bleak without massive civil Disobedience.

I would love to see my college, SUNY GENESEO, market itself as an antidote to AI. We teach you to assess evidence, ask big questions, and construct knowledge with sound reasoning and argument. We don’t Ignore AI but we can equip students to think, reason, and care.

"The sand in and around the city of approximately 400,000 is so caked with blood that you can see evidence of the RSF’s war crimes via satellite imagery, according to Yale’s Humanitarian Research Lab (HRL)." Zeteo's Peter Rothpletz in today's First Draft morning newsletter, on Sudan:

Because he and his Trumpzis are just a bunch of disgusting white supremacists. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Too many Americans either didn’t care or didn’t believe. Hopefully they do now.👇

No. You definitely should not dress as Pocahontas for Halloween. I wrote this a couple of years back and have been reposting every year since. Please feel free to share with your students. michaelleroyoberg.com/uncategorize...

Maybe I can help. I have lived for close to forty years with someone who speaks a different language than me whenever she speaks with her family. 2 things have happened. 1. I learned to understand Spanish, and… 2. Well, nothing. Nothing else happened. We’re good. Vance es un pendejo.

Oh, students. Stick around. Ask for help. It will all get better if you can find the people who help you become your best, most complete and authentic self. Some of us try to reach you that. We care, and please know that the loss of one of you, whether we knew you or not, really stings.

So important.

Sure, the Packers won the game, but the Steelers took home the “ugliest uniform In the history of football prize.”

Took me longer to write this than it should have. My mom died over 6 weeks ago. In any event, here is her obituary. I feel enormous peace.

If the Trump administration is going to classify fentanyl as a “weapon of mass destruction,” well, wait until they hear about handguns.
