How old were you when you first learned that JFK didn't kill himself? Tune in this Thursday for more undeniable truth.

You don't hate AI enough.

Truly bleak

1/ Important new investigative report from my colleague @jbeowulf.bsky.social about "Maestro," advertised as "the AI University" on TikTok, that turns out to be a chatbot bolted onto a failing for-profit business school in order to illegally harvest Pell grants. www.newamerica.org/insights/the...

Jackson.

Just shocking this was a 5-4 ruling. This Court is so so badly broken.

A no-lose proposition -- you either get a 20% gain on your investment or have one of the best days of your life.

“you’re a world historic mass murderer” is getting to him, huh maybe he shouldn’t have chosen to be a world historic mass murderer

the first episode of my new weekly show @theatlantic.com is out today! this week, @adamserwer.bsky.social joins me to talk about birthright citizenship and the Supreme Court youtu.be/mgDvW9GCxto?...

This Washington Post editorial claims that state funding has not improved student outcomes. There is plenty of evidence to the alternative, which they regrettably omitted. www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202... nces.ed.gov/programs/dig... www.nber.org/papers/w27885

pete hegseth is engaged in open racial discrimination against black officers. the clear message is that there is no place for black or women leadership in his military

My new op-ed in @mississippitoday.org: Mississippi is talking about school district consolidation. This is a crucial window for getting the policy right, for two reasons. (1/4) #edusky #mississippi #redistricting

Trump admin eliminating access to many microdata sets that economists use Probably not intentional, just the bumbling fumbles of unqualified appointees Effect is the same

completely torpedoes any use of these data by scientists Already reports of researchers losing access to data at the Census Research Data Centers, and RDCs refusing to allow release of results

Higher education sees what you're doing, Iran. We have been doing it for decades to get around limits on tuition.

One thing I don't think we're prepared for as a society is the absolute cascade of Boomer rock icon deaths over the next decade. Bob Dylan, Paul McCartney, and Mick Jagger are all still alive! So are Neil Young, Joni Mitchell, Stevie Wonder, Patti Smith, Pete Townshend, Robert Plant, Jimmy Page...

Apropos of nothing else today, anybody else interested in a new history of extreme wealth leading to a fraying of the social order?

For the love of god! Loyalist paramilitaries entire existence are based on not being Irish!

I would read a serious academic analysis of the emerging literary genre "Heartbreaking stories told through a series of notes discovered by players exploring post-apocalyptic landscapes in AAA video games"

I just went 82-0, think you can go 82-0? (This seems mostly a matter of getting Wilt) www.82-0.com/share?id=j2M...

There’s a moment in “Under Your Spell / Standing- Reprise” where Tara and Giles sing “wish I could stay” together that’s better than whole seasons of other TV and I come back to it all the time www.bbc.com/news/article...

god damn, i was just reminiscing with friends about Once More with Feeling a couple hours ago. sad news. a great actor and wonderful TV presence.

I feel like this team would do better than 69-13 www.82-0.com/share?id=RGm...

Reading comments on the new student loan caps and I think people should be open to the idea that one solution for the college debt crisis is lending people less money.

Called this back in October

"'The fragility of academic freedom is the distance between our soaring rhetoric and the harsh realities of trying to put them into practice,' said panelist Dominique Baker, associate professor of education and public policy." I gotta transcribe my portion of this talk www.udel.edu/udaily/2026/...

This is just crushing. Emily Waldorf was denied care for a risky miscarriage due to Arkansas’ abortion ban, even after she met the hospital’s CEO, called the governor’s office and got a lawyer. www.propublica.org/article/arka...

Nothing promotes individual liberty quite like a state-mandated indoctrination.

on my hands and knees pleading with journalists to remember that $1.776 billion rounds to $1.8 billion and not $1.7 billion

Enjoyed talking to @kang.bsky.social for his @newyorker.com piece about the higher education enrollment cliff: www.newyorker.com/news/fault-l...

well, lucky for us fox news hosts arent in charge of the military lol can you even imagine what a disaster that would be

M: I made bilions selling software that lets people go on the internet. E: Great. Thanks. Good on you. M: Now I have some ideas to share about the future of civilization. E: Huh. Cool, I guess. Have you run them by anybody? M: You're not listening! I sold software so people can go on the internet!

the most anti free speech administration in this country’s history

Win the election Kill the filibuster Pack the Court If that’s not your plan then you don’t have one

Not the Turing test exactly but feels like progress

The problem w/ how Dems communicate isn't big words. It's that they often create complex two-beat logics to get to what they think voters care about: eg, "For the cost of the Iran War, we could fund health care for 30 million people"--not wrong, but two points, tenuously related. Just say one thing!

Florida parents have an exciting new opportunity to make sure their kids will be denounced as racist idiots when they get to college.

Yesterday's 56th anniversary of the Kent State Massacre didn't get much attention, but it should have. The shots fired then were only the beginning of a right-wing crusade to silence college campuses. In a crisis of democracy, 1970's bullets still echo My new column www.inquirer.com/columnists/a...

The insurrectionists eventually got what they wanted

84% of Iowa students taking public funding to attend private school have never been in public school

Official data is in today, and US solar power generation continues to grow rapidly, up 25% compared to this time last year!

Nothing like a good book manuscript copyeditor to hammer home the point that I, allegedly professional writer, do not know the difference between "like" and "such as"

I'm old enough to remember when scandal-plagued senior government officials were usually on the other side of these transactions www.thedailybeast.com/top-donald-t...

It’s funny that Texas decided to do mid-decade gerrymander shenanigans and as a result I can now walk through four different Congressional districts on my way to get beer at the 7-11

As a dog owner I agree with a lot of this but not "no public dog parks." Nobody says there shouldn't be public tennis courts because tennis balls aren't people.

surely no army in military history has ever been laid low by disease, a famously uncommon problem among people living in enforced close quarters
