I don't think we have to concede this!

The Trump administration has a rainy day fund that will keep SNAP from expiring in November. Trump is refusing to use it. Funding SNAP isn't a choice he can make. It's a legal obligation. USDA must release the funds and stop punishing the American people. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/28/u...

the weekly budget of SNAP is 1.9 billion dollars

"It will be a great day when our schools get all the money they need and the Air Force has to hold a bake sale to buy a bomber." Halfway there! www.nytimes.com/2025/10/25/u...

not loving how violence done to the physical grounds of the white house has more political salience than violence done to human beings

Wow, the Huntington got Kim Stanley Robinson's papers. SF research hub!

I always thought he was more like a Frankenstein

turning a big dial taht says "Kings" on it and constantly looking back at the audience for approval like a contestant on the price is right

If I could offer students one bit of…advice: be brutally traditional about what is printed on your degree. If you are first-gen or in any way non traditional, this goes double. Let rich kids get degrees in AI. You get something called “English”.

In about three years the entire university pivot to AI curricula and schools and programs is going to be so deeply embarrassing. We will all pretend it never happened and I will be standing there, looking at people with a mirror in my eyes. This is all so embarrassing.

never doubt that the heart muscle being either too stiff or too weak to pump blood efficiently can change the world; indeed, it’s the only thing that ever has

truly the weirdest part of having made this show for X years is that there’s something like 10 people who have started / completed an advanced degree due in part to the show’s influence, which we partially started because of how fed up we were with academia

CFP: SFFTV special issue on Digital Media and New Horror liverpooluniversitypress.co.uk/pb-assets/do...

If you are a supporter and reader of @contingent-mag.bsky.social one of the biggest things you can do to help us at the moment is get this CFP to the NTT folks in your life. The fracturing of social media has made it very difficult to get the word out esp. to adjuncts and VAPs.

Settlement page for Anthropic book theft settlement is up: secure.anthropiccopyrightsettlement.com It's a smaller list than the one the Atlantic was circulating but I still had three books in the list. This is the necessary settlement page; if you filled out one last month that was just for info.

you are on this plumbers' council, but we do not grant you the rank of master

having seen Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair at one of its rare screenings, this is 100 percent Worth It, and significantly better than the two-part version

when I worked in an independent bookstore, the owner told me the most stolen book was one about getting your first period and if I saw anyone walking out with it, I should just let them go.
