Princeton professor emeritus Anthony Grafton has received the 2025 Barry Prize for Distinguished Intellectual Achievement from the American Academy of Sciences and Letters.

Right in the middle of a White House event promoting their bizarre vision of "health," one of them passed out and required medical attention. The writers are getting lazier and lazier.

democrats are having such a good night that the polls here just closed and they’re already calling it lol

Princeton President Christopher Eisgruber on addressing challenges facing higher education.

Quoting my idol: “It’s rape. Brutalizing the building where women worked. Tearing away FDR’s legacy — the New Deal. He already destroyed Jackie Kennedy’s Rose Garden.”

This is a desecration and an abomination. First he posts an AI video of himself wearing a crown dumping shit on the heads of Americans, then he starts tearing down part of the White House for his Mar-a-Lago style ballroom.

Cancelled as well

Could not have done this without a lot of help from treasured friends

Honored to receive this honor from ASEEES.

South Park Episode 3 did not disappoint. #Sickofancy Only the horrors of the #TrumpRegime could make me feel bad for Satan!

Stevie said “You'll never get away from the sound/Of the woman that loved you” and she meant it ✨

Just to hammer this in: I don't know of an example in US history of comparable *in-person humiliation* for a US president. And of course for the country. Trump will soon realize how visibly he was "owned." In view of the whole world.

These two a friends. Period. End of story. I’ve covered a variety of summits. And I know what admiration looks like. That’s the end of the world order as we knew it. A sad day for everyone.

My book on Stevie Nicks makes the cut! www.women.com/1941065/book...

I am grieving the barbarism that is going to unfurl from all this. People are going to die. Livelihoods gone. All to feed a corrupt kleptocracy. I see every day up close how different it is from the first time around. There are no guardrails. A disaster. I’m sorry we have to live through this.

let this be a lesson: people are pissed and they want fucking CHANGE

the American День победы sucks

Everything good and terrible in America is hyper accentuated in Los Angeles county. In a way like No Other place in the United States and its territories, you will see every great thing in America to the max there, and every awful, horrifying aspect there turned up to 11. It’s just the way the…

@sarahrainsfordbbc.bsky.social Hi Sarah, I hope you might remember me from Bolshoi ballet encounters. Might I DM you about my forthcoming history of Moscow? Thank you! Simon

If I were Beyoncé, the Boss and Bono I would host the biggest free concert in the history of fucking time on the same day as Trump’s teeny peen birthday parade.

When he's gone, the world will breathe a sigh of relief and the planet will rejoice.

It’s amazing how terrified people are of this.

Honestly I'm glad they picked Harvard to try out this novel "we're mad" legal theory of revoking tax-exempt status, given its infinite resources, deep network of powerful alumni, and law school attended by 142 sitting federal judges. Good luck! 🫡

Superb interview w/ Princeton president Chris Eisgruber - a model of resistance that is thoughtful, clear-eyed, but adamant of ultimate lines to draw -- applies for all univ and law and media too. Really worth a listen. The University President Willing to Fight Trump www.nytimes.com/2025/04/09/p...

The termination of Sasha's grant was "an urgent priority for the administration" according to the letter he received.

Omg

In 25 years of covering national security, I’ve never seen a story like this: Senior Trump officials discussed planning for the U.S. attack on Yemen in a Signal group--and inadvertently added the editor-in-chief of The Atlantic. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

This isn’t a real school anymore, it’s simply pretending to be one. I won’t be setting foot on that campus again. bsky.app/profile/jame...

amazing putin and this host guy laugh about trump being a huge cuck live on camera here, as he reminds putin that trump is waiting by the phone

Extraordinary scenes in Serbia’s capital Belgrade right now. Around 500,000 people are on the streets in what may be the biggest protest in Serbian history. All demanding the resignation of President Vučić & his government. What began as a student protest is now a full democratic uprising. 🇷🇸
