As we welcome white Afrikaners from South Africa and deny entry to any other refugees. There is nothing subtle about what is happening here.

Trump threatened Indiana Republicans that if they didn't do what he wanted, he'd block all federal funds to their state but they ignored his threats and told him to pound sand. Take notes, college presidents.

“I miss blockbuster video” the library has every dvd totally untouched and I never see you there

There are never any new Trump bits anymore, all he does is repeat the same A/B tested applause lines, including his ridiculous wall of text truth social posts. It's Trumpslop

Hearing Sir Paul talk about sex feels like having your grandpa do it now, but this whole Hamburg segment is a reminder of just how tough and tumble the Beatles were. They were basically a more functional version of the Replacements on speed, which I guess makes them R.E.M.

In a stealth upset, Democrat Eric Gisler flips a GOP-held Georgia House seat spanning parts of Athens and Oconee County. Gisler won 39% of vote last November. He captured 51% tonight to defeat a Republican backed by Gov. Brian Kemp and other GOP leaders.

Representative-Elect Eric Gisler in his victory speech tonight: “This is going to be a shockwave. It will be hard work to keep this seat next year, but it sends a message right now that next year, we’re coming.”

The whole “aw shucks we’re so polarized and post-truth, who can tell what to believe now” schtick also hits different when the guy you torched your career for is the antivaxxer who burned down the NIH. “There exists no agreed-upon neutral arbiter of facts.” …Gee, Olivia, who might we blame?

The ironic thing is that one could make an argument that Humphrey's Executor v. United States was *itself* a fairly "political" ruling from a Court committed to hamstringing FDR. So now turnabout is fair play? (though in both cases the goal is to help the GOP)

I dunno, might there be some value in FTC independence at a moment when Trump is using his public powers to browbeat private companies into supporting him and his agenda? www.nytimes.com/2025/12/08/o...

Laura Ingraham was outraged that the Minneapolis Police chief told his residents to call 911 if they suspect someone is impersonating an ICE agent. The FBI issued a warning in Nov. that it is already happening. Some fake agents are committing sexual assault. I provide RECEIPTS

This rules.

Dr. Bill Cassidy’s legacy as a hepatologist, will be that he brought about more liver disease. Put that in his obit.

Turns out it's far easier to convince someone if you just make shit up, who would have guessed

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.

“Yes, yes, we can see all your ‘facts’ and all the adorable little ‘evidence,’ but you failed to consider that none of that matters if we all close our eyes and pretend the Texas GOP actually had pure motives here, you stupid little rubes.”

Hahahahaha Get fucked library harassers

I am more than a little tired of my silent film research suddenly being current events but... Evidence of the wide acceptance of eugenics can be seen everywhere in silent films. Characters casually discuss finding a "eugenic" partner in marriage the same way modern films might discuss income.

Easy SF: takes place on Mars Hard SF: takes place on PSR J2322-2650b

This one hurts: "In time, I came to see why he hated the vaccine. It represented the death of wildness. Of nature. It would have dispelled his brain fog, the very crucible out of which his genius was forged.”

Journalists! If you’re covering the #ACIP meeting this week, this report is super helpful, with tons of info and stats on the birth dose of hepatitis B vaccine

one of the heuristics that will basically never steer you wrong with ML or "AI" whatever is "are there humans who can do this task reliably at a high level?" If the answer is no, you almost certainly can't do it automatically either.

Listen to this. He's a total lunatic - you wouldn't let him join your local school board - and he's helping decide federal vaccine policy recommendations.

A basic and intuitive understanding of the law is that punishments should not be retroactive upon a policy change. This is even worse. There is no formal policy change, they are simply penalizing couples for following common practice - explicitly allowed by Congress - for decades.

Universities can't function if they're constantly running scared of an online cancel factory and spineless politicians who won't push back. Should this student have received a bad grade? Don't know. Should the governor of the state be commenting on it? Absolutely not. www.oudaily.com/news/ou-stat...

I for one *love* how our reality has started to resemble mediocre science fiction from the late 90s... (h/t @rahaeli.bsky.social ) www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

People are making fun of this response but I think all of us have had the experience of sitting in an incredibly loud machine for 20 minutes for a serious procedure and then forgotten about it soon afterward. bsky.app/profile/carl...

conservatives basically want to implement the caricature of affirmative action for conservative students. acceptance without meeting qualifications, good grades and degrees without having to do the work.

So they steal from me then sell those stolen goods to a company who repackages those stolen goods and resells them again. Fuck all the way off. This isn't like ye olden days of pirating off Napster. This is entitlement and greed from AI companies and readers. bsky.app/profile/skyl...

Kavanaugh stop. Smashed the kid’s car windows and arrested him. He told them he was a U.S. citizen. The officer replied “I don’t care.” www.oregonlive.com/portland/202...

RFK Jr. and his team must be fired. they are a danger to every child and family in this nation

This is what happens when you keep fighting back. This is great news for America's libraries, but there's still so much more work to do. 📚

Amazing the things you could have learned just by asking people rather than building a police state and increasing inflation.

"At this point, let me remind you that the agency that Trump is politicizing has never been run by a Democrat...Nevertheless, Patel accused the FBI of being on the Democratic Party “payroll” in an anti-FBI documentary funded by Russia-linked firm for which Patel was paid $25,000."
