It’s 5:15 am on a Saturday, I’m awake and ready to take on the world

This seemed to go well, although I will not get word back until Tuesday

I’m sorry, but if not even universities can afford to access the research we produce, why are academics still publishing in these venues? Like, the for-profits can’t bankrupt the very system that creates their product and expect the party to continue www.researchprofessionalnews.com/rr-news-uk-o...

Mashallah even Kirk Cameron can see the heavenly light of Annihilationism

I just launched a new Consulting page on my website! If you or your department are working on curriculum design or research-based equity-focused teaching and want a conversation partner, I would love to talk. Learn more and get in touch.

So exciting!

🚨Judge Xinis finds that, incredibly, Mr. Abrego Garcia was never ordered deported in 2019. She notes that every since this saga began all the way back in March, the government has NEVER been able to produce any evidence that the immigration judge actually issued a removal order.

This should be the biggest story in the country right now. The sitting US President was extorting state lawmakers from his own party by threatening to withhold public money if they didn’t gerrymander for him. I don’t know how else to say it…

Sometimes you just need to do laundry

A planned rule to set new silica exposure limits—and finally address Appalachia’s devastating black lung crisis—has been under continued assault by coal bosses and the Trump admin. Now, it looks like it’s off the table entirely. New for @inthesetimes.com: inthesetimes.com/article/the-...

If AI ever becomes profitable, it will only be due to stupid corporate leadership giving away billions, in this case literally a billion dollars, for something that will not increase subs or retention

Yeah sorry I have to say this is one of the least convincing theological arguments against gay marriage I have ever read. At every point it dodges the key questions it needs to address. It misrepresents opposing views. The confirmation bias is so strong www.thegospelcoalition.org/themelios/ar...

Sorry but if this counts as an argument against gay marriage then we should be allowed to imagine whatever we want to argue for it. What if the bride of Christ is an unclockable trans woman? What if God actually did make Adam and Steve? What if we all resurrect as James Charles

MAGAZINER: How many veterans have you deported? NOEM: We haven't deported veterans MAGAZINER: We are now joined on Zoom by a combat veteran you deported to Korea

Here is my 2025 ranked so far

Tomorrow is my interview with the Bishop for my postulancy day (day where they decide if I can continue in the process to ordination as a priest)

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history. Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

sorry but the greatest heritage of the western Christian world is Secular Multicultural Liberal Democracy, so if your “Christian” vision for “European culture” isn’t multicultural, multireligious, & liberal democratic, then those are European values (likely ethnonationalist ones) not Christian ones

Brett Kavanaugh's "minor inconvience" now includes beating people up and cutting off their wedding rings for [checks notes] "observing ICE from a distance."

Word like "singing" and "slinging" and "flinging" and "tinging" and "pinging" are in a special verb tense that I call the Extra Present Progressive

For a lot of men, the category of "straight" and "male" are about as capacious as the the term "Christian" is for evangelicals, which is to say not many people who meet the nominal definition seem to count.

Officers at the large immigration detention camp located at the Fort Bliss army base in Texas are allegedly mistreating detainees, with accusations including beatings, sexual abuse and clandestine deportations of non-Mexican nationals into Mexico... www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Sports betting is a great societal evil and I cannot believe the strides taken to legalize it in this country.

Inshallah I will find some good kitschy coffee mugs at the thrift store

Trump: I’m a singular genius capable of solving every problem myself and no one makes my decisions for me. Also Trump: I know almost nothing about the decisions I make.

I personally do enjoy a dramatic Vestry meeting. Like real life Reality Tv

Saying Trump is “transactional” is just a gentle way of saying he’s corrupt. Every power he has been trusted with, he treats as a way to extract favors and benefits from anyone he sees as situationally vulnerable.

Indescribable number of Harry Potter decorations in this 5th grade classroom (many such cases)

Israel hunted a 70 year old lady down with a gun drone and then hoovered above to make sure she bled out next to her dying son. They both join almost 1,000 Palestinians Israel has massacred or maimed in its genocide during the "ceasefire". www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/12...

Got home from church and took a five hour nap. Very necessary

not sure how one argues with a straight face anymore that liberal elites did not play an outsized role in the slow-then-sudden disappearance of the cordon sanitaire around open racism and eugenics

By the way this is why I know they’re lying when they say they knew who was on the boats and they’re all on a military list. The US military had somehow built a dossier on Robert Sanchez, the boat pilot living in a cinderblock house and earning $100 a month? He was next on the kill list after Osama?

Holy shit new record for most insane use of the Bible in our time?

My constituent, Wilmer, was mauled by an ICE attack dog despite the fact that, as he has consistently explained, he was not resisting arrest or trying to flee—his wife and young children, all U.S. citizens, were forced to watch helplessly as Wilmer was violently attacked and dragged away.

"Soon, CNN will run live odds on world events where its viewers can gamble on them in real time on their smartphones."

This is unbelievable and just totally unacceptable. A school district with 400,000 kids was allowing this to go on? My district's tech admin would have stopped this in one day

It turns out that Dollar General and Family Dollar routinely overcharge people—their advertised price tags are fictions. These are the only stores in many small towns. Scam culture. It's all scam culture. On this matter, Democrats should run on audits and serious fines for overcharging.

This kind of dataset is a clear indicator that propaganda plays a big role in people's political positions and acting like people are unshiftable is just completely detached from reality

He’s scowling but this is his favorite box
