Please take the time to read this superb @jamellebouie.net column. It establishes a baseline of truth for anyone who wants to think, talk, and write honestly about Trump. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/07/o...

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again. #Pinks #ProudBlue

While @repgreglandsman.bsky.social is sending campaign emails bragging that he brought some chump change to the district, we all remember him voting to thank ICE for assaulting a US citizen for the crime of having brown skin.

Epstein’s economic power among academics was made possible by a capitalist system that makes higher education dependent on the charity economy rather than a public good supported by taxing the rich

I hate living in the Asshole Cinematic Universe. “So the King of Pedophiles got the 4chan guy to make the Nazi board and that’s why the host of Celebrity Apprentice was made immune to laws by the Tradcath Illuminati. This has something to do with video game journalism, maybe?” Fuck off.

Never mind the jobs you had, tell me five classes you took in college: 1. German (for two years) 2. World War 2 on the Homefront 3. Politics of the Catholic Church 4. History of the Balkans 5. World of Wine

My rep @repgreglandsman.bsky.social voted to thank ICE for crushing teenage boys' testicles.

Have you ever wondered what a Sasanian city sounded like? We can imagine the sounds of the past if we pay close attention to material, historical, & archaeological sources. Check out this new article on the soundscapes of Eranshahr-- & be sure to download the sound file for an immersive experience

Even if Bovino gets fired, ICE has to go. Even if Noem is out, ICE has to go. Even when Trump leaves office, ICE has to go. As protests grow and ICE's popularity drops, we may see concessions and leadership changes, like Bovino's departure. ICE still has to go. www.cnn.com/us/live-news...

stop using AI to do your research. it hallucinates too often. if you want an answer to something, post something arrogant on the appropriate subreddit. something like: "this item performs 10% better than everything else. only idiots deny this." this will bait nerds into doing your research for you.

Yes. They Just Didn’t Think Those Americans Would Be White

The term martyr means “witness.” The man was murdered for bearing witness, literally bearing it, not arms but a camera. Murdered for seeing.

This would obviously be the outcome from the start. But university admins capitulated because they agree with Trump more than they disagree with him and he just gave them cover to do the thing they wanted to do but couldn't.

This must be weird news to see if you’re one of the literally hundreds or even thousands of university administrators who preemptively censored faculty, scrubbed websites, changed the names of centers, etc.

They wheeled this Nazi asshole into court in a wheelchair and he was still trying to hide his face in shame 76 years after World War II ended. That's the kind of commitment I'm looking for.

“I was hit so hard with the fact that this man would not do this for me"...“We were willing to do for this man, this human, what they were not willing to do for Renee Good,” Zemien said.

This is the problem with votes like @repgreglandsman.bsky.social vote to thank ICE agents and his promotion of bipartisanship with fascists. It paves the way for other Dems to vote for funding ICE when it could have been blocked by normalizing the idea that ICE is normal law enforcement.

Can anyone point me to a single serious study or news report which offers unambiguous evidence that genAI/LLMs have contributed anything non-harmfully useful, anything that has contributed to actual human flourishing and the common good? Anything that has actually “enhanced” educational outcomes?

“But what deeply troubles me now is that for all the steps we've taken toward integration, I've come to believe that we are integrating into a burning house."  Dr. King said this famous quote on March 27th, 1968, mere days before his murder. But the context around the quote is interesting...

Houston Texans’ Azeez Al-Shaair has reportedly been fined $11,593 for wearing eye black that contained the message "stop the genocide” The report says he was fined for violating NFL uniform and equipment rules www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/...

There are lots of reasons to compare what is happening now to Nazi Germany and there are also lots of reasons to compare what is happening now to the post-1850 Fugitive Slave Act U.S. and it's *weird* how people respond with interest to the former but total confusion to the latter

If I bring a baby to a protest and you bring a gun and shoot me and the baby, who has made the protest a violent riot?

Tonight thinking about this all-time @ndrew.bsky.social banger

Also, by their own standards, the cops protecting the Capitol on Jan 6 should have opened fire all over.

This is one of the most beautiful things I have witnessed, the craft here is impeccable.

WATCH: Here's the segment CBS News pulled from "60 Minutes" last night

CBS didn't run the 60 Minutes segment on CECOT, but over here at @propublica.org we've been working on the story since March, including finding out who each and every man sent to that maximum security prison was. You can see our reporting here: www.propublica.org/series/depor...

ASPS is hiring a new Editor-in-Chief for the Journal of Persianate Studies. Review of applications will begin April 1, 2026. www.persianatesocieties.org/job-posting-...

This describes @repgreglandsman.bsky.social to a tee. The only thing he stands for is attacking marginalized communities in the name of bipartisanship.

Who will they get to finish teaching the classes and grading assignments? Who cares? All I'm seeing is a paid leave in the middle of a semester! Offer extra credit to any student who shows proof of filing a complaint against you.

@repgreglandsman.bsky.social do you have a statement about this?

There isn't a single problem "solved" by edtech that couldn't be fixed with smaller classes led by well-paid teachers given real academic freedom

Liberals are constantly trying to indoctrinate our young people. You can see the proof in this colorful PragerU video presented by the Young America's Foundation at a Turning Point USA school club meeting.

When the House and Senate marked up stablecoin legislation, we raised all of these concerns - their anonymity, their nearly perfect design for money laundering. All the barn doors were left wide open. It’s used for crime because that is its purpose. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/07/t...

The USPS posting a NINE BILLION DOLLAR LOSS!!! sounds terrible. Certainly worse than if you said "USPS costs thirty dollars per person per year" even though that means the same thing and more accurately describes a government service

This battle against wokeness is getting ridiculous.

"Black Knights compellingly re-frames Arabic epic within a broader global history of race, thus prompting medievalists [...] to reconsider how racial formations, heroic imaginaries, and epic narrative structures intersect across time and space." Sah-weet. www.middleeastmedievalists.com/book-prize/

Seconded. That last line hits hard.

I am voting for Consequences.
