Imagine if university administrators stopped with the appeasement and sued to get funding restored. If a rag-tag group of faculty can pull it off on their own, surely universities ought to be able to. What is the purpose of university counsel if not to defend the university mission?

There is no shame in a love this pure.

The thing about someone ‘improperly receiving benefits’ is I don’t care. Oh no did someone get food or health care? Good!

Every photo of Altman looks like he just got caught jerking off in the ball pit at Chuck E Cheese

in my experience, you have to show your ID to eat

not the point, but more tacky fake gold shit showing up every time they’ve got cameras in the oval office would make a good absurdist comedy bit and/or a creeping horror bit

it's like low-background steel

Can't get numb to this: The United States is stuck in a war it started, cannot end, and may further escalate to no avail, having dismantled its diplomatic apparatus, depleted its military stockpile, and destroyed its credibility. A historic strategic mistake harming millions in many different ways.

Happy fraudiversary!

he’s an unrepentant racist. what has changed is that he thinks republicans make racism look stupid

abdul el-sayed is being held to an insane, impossible standard that no other candidates are because he's a muslim and a brown man. every muslim or brown person running for office shouldn't have to be as talented as zohran at messaging and responding to bad faith accusations. it's bullshit

this matches my analysis

None of you can imagine the horrific environment I've been subjected to after rejecting the inevitable final destination of my politics I've been subjecting others to until this moment

alcoholic trying to get sober after a relapse tells Google's "Health Coach" about it. it tells them to drink every hour and messages them to make sure they're drinking as soon as they wake up.

(The other GIF was the extended version of this with the nudity, my apologies for that.)

the thing is all state AGs have to do to deep-six this merger is delay it until OpenAI can't pay Oracle, Oracle's stock dives, Larry's collateral goes poof, etc.

don't worry everyone: as we all know, it can only good happen.

It's because she's a democratic socialist and Carney is a neoliberal banker. He doesn't want home prices to drop or more people to be housed. There has to be a permanent and growing underclass of poverty to keep the ultra wealthy as rich as possible

if, instead of organizing around rallies or campaigns, if the democrats ever wholeheartedly re-embraced the labor movement specifically and formal organizing like this around housing and similar material aspects of american life, my god just imagine

it was for @us.theguardian.com … for a civil liberties reporter job! does this comport with new york state human rights law?

As defaults on student loans surge, millions are trying to get their lives back on track

I said long ago that ICE specifically looks for guys with a history of domestic violence/violence against kids to hire because the administration knows they're asking them to ignore all the laws in the name of hurting and torturing people and that requires a piece of trash to have the stomach for it

nobody is giving fox news more headlines about how democrats can't win general elections than moderate candidates and their supporters in the media

like, I know people get mad when you say liberals prefer fascists to leftists but they keep saying it

when sex workers do this they get debanked

culture war is evolving to a strange place. went to a craft night and the conversation went from discussing witchcraft (as though it were real) to disparaging antivaxxers within like five minutes. one woman, my new hero, blurted out "they lobotomized the wrong kennedy"

they’re just experimenting on kids

This person in the FT comments section goes by the name Frank Talk and I can see why

This is the point in Sim City where you’re like well I’m fucked

“Why has the climate changed since when I was a kid? And don’t tell me it’s climate change.” -actual internet posts

Virtually no one who cites a need to "beat China" in the "AI race" ever bothers to explain what any of that actually means: what the stakes are, where the finish line is, why we're racing in the first place, what "winning" looks like, etc. Largely vibes-based techno-nationalism.

One incrementalist reform that I think would be good here is federal police licensure.

Yes.

When their landlord tried to raise the rent by more than 70%, the largest multilingual senior center in Sunset Park was forced to close its doors. But Sunset Park fought back.

I know the presidential thing is always small sample size, but (post-Reagan, third-way) liberalism has only "thrived" when we have a generational political talent at the top of the ticket or we're in a once in a century pandemic

It's very funny that he pretends these aren't his personal views

also: if judicial review was so important to the united states constitution i think maybe they should've mentioned it somewhere in the document?

NEW: Aurora Police say an ICE detention center employee shot a protester last night. She is expected to survive. 42-year-old Brandon Booth, who works for the ICE contractor GEO Group, is being held on suspicion of attempted second degree murder and other charges.

there’s something here that i can’t quite articulate about how part of the reason the great RTO revenge of the bosses has so damaged their public images is because no one believes they actually value flesh and blood human relationships, and most of them haven’t even bothered to argue that they do
