Columbia suspended, expelled, and retroactively revoked degrees in proceedings that were so arbitrary and capricious they were overturned by a NY state judge. Literally the only evidence Columbia submitted came from sealed records of dismissed arrests—records that Columbia shouldn't have even had.

I converted to Catholicism last week. Here’s why it’s necessary for the United States to invade Vatican City and install its own pope.

I think this is really important, and I'm worried it's never going to filter into the mainstream: Finland is producing studies that their researchers claim cast doubt on gender affirming care for youth, but they hide the ways their idiosyncratic approach itself could be to blame.

working a classic “bullshit charges” case rn where the DA can’t persuade ICE to fork over at least half a dozen cameras’ worth of surveillance footage to back up their bullshit charges, so: def agree

I mean, think about it. Have you ever actually met a real writer? And before you say “I met my favorite writer at a con”, think about it—did you see them actually WRITING, or were they just talking about a book that already exists? Because anyone can talk about a book.

i don't believe in posting through it or centering my Diaspora Feelings over what my family and friends are living through in real time so i will refrain from expanding this into a whole thread of angst. please donate to mutual aid efforts in lebanon www.chuffed.org/project/1719...

Massacre upon massacre in Beirut in the last hour. AUBMC announced a “code disaster.” Over 100 airstrikes in 10 minutes across the country. One hit right behind my house. Sirens ambulances & the smell of sulphur. The city is in total chaos the people in complete panic

We didn't deserve this day.

This is what radicalized me as a native of color Seeing them send fire hoses attack dogs and sound cannons on water and land defenders during Standing rock

Sure the contraption that got us to the moon was cool but have you seen

I'm on the train back to DC – I call on all my colleagues to come back, too. Congress must vote to end this war IMMEDIATELY.

In addition to experiencing a longer total eclipse totality from space — lasting nearly one hour instead of just a few minutes here on Earth — the Artemis II crew got a glimpse at the Sun’s corona wispily peeking out from behind the Moon without interference from the Earth’s atmosphere.

Members of the Iranian Jewish community inspect what is left of their synagogue in Tehran after Israel bombed it. On Passover...

there isn't much documentation of the Basque–Icelandic pigeon language that formed among whalers in the 1600s but at least we know these phrases

On April 7th, 2026, people stopped being born. On the same day, people stopped dying, and people stopped aging. On April 19th, 2026, Moonshot will be celebrating this anniversary with a live table read of @jonbois.bsky.social’s 17776 in its entirety on moonshot.mov. We hope you'll join us.

I went on @therealnews.com to discuss Black anarchist history and US politics, among other things. It was great to have this exchange with former Black Panther elder Mansa Musa on ‘Rattling the Bars.’

TTRPG data perverts might be interested in this, Groupfinder just published the top ten games people are actively looking to play on their platform, no surprise at just how crushing DnDs dominance is but the make up of the top ten is kind of interesting (if generally still not too surprising)

This is my favorite climate change chart. Japanese monks, aristocrats, and emperors kept meticulous records of cherry blossom festivals for 1,200 years and accidentally built the world's longest climate dataset.

NYC Jews are risking arrest right now in the building where Palantir makes the products it uses to help ICE surveil, terrorize, kidnap, and deport immigrants. Jewish New Yorkers are holding a sit-in inside the lobby and refusing to leave until Palantir ends its contracts with ICE.
