See also: the rich work of (exasperated) medieval social & environmental historians, flatly rejecting Gregor Hardin’s views on common land management - aka the core basis for his ‘Tragedy of the Commons’. And further: the work outing him as a eugenicist with seriously awful politics.

On Friday, I argued in @foreignpolicy.com that Trump admin claims it had set Iran back by "years" were true but disingenuous. The same day, the normally excellent David Ignatius amplified the misleading U.S. and Israeli narrative. www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202... Let's take a look... (1/n)

This is so far over the line I don't even know where to begin. Trying to get students -- your own students -- expelled or deported because of political activism? Jesus, I won't even punch down at random college students on *social media*

It is the fate of all libertarians to rail against decency, empathy, "wokeness" et al as constrictive and oppressive, posit being totally rude and edgy and whatever man as true freedom, helping pave the way for someone to take away that decency; and then the libertarians go "aww no wait this sucks"

I dunno. They’re such little snowflakes. So easily upset. It’s okay, we’ll protect you from the mean TV show. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

I made it through one paragraph of this, and I'm dumber for it

🧵Introducing the Trump Action Tracker website! Today I’m launching www.trumpactiontracker.info - a live, searchable list of authoritarian‑style actions from Trump’s second term (over 740 actions so far). 1/14

Finally got a chance to watch the @joshjohnsoncomedy.bsky.social routine about Trump and Epstein that came out a few days ago. I am blown away that he managed to put together a full hour of stand-up about breaking news and it's somehow polished and funny as hell. Give it a watch and share it.

CEO of Oreo Cookies: the oreo cookie is as important as oxygen

“gunnarpunts_inshallah” is an unreal IG handle

We are dismantling American higher education & scientific research & health care & all the other things to fund concentration camps

If the GOP reconciliation bill passes, ICE gets through FY2029: - $45 billion for detention, on top of the current annual budget of $3.4 billion - $14.4 billion for transportation and removal, on top of the current annual budget of $750 million - $8 billion for hiring/retention - Billions more.

No fucking way. Dudes posting out loud they can't get girls and now they're bringing mom and dad to a job interview? What the actual fuck? People need to nut the fuck up and stop embarrassing yourself for free.

most accurate headline of the day. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Here's how you remove Google AI from your mobile devices.

Wow: ICE Has Deported at Least 70 U.S. Citizens

“Forget about intelligence” is a pretty good mantra for this administration

This is absolutely insane shit to write down and publish. The left scared her. This might beat allll the other NYT headlines. Truly spectacular. The GOP banned abortion, the GOP said they would prosecute doctors providing abortions, the 6 Republican appointed SCOTUS judges overturned Roe.

NEW: Data shows that as of June 15, fully 30% of all people arrested by ICE and sent to detention had NO CRIMINAL RECORD. 11,763 people in detention as of last Sunday had no criminal record and were arrested inside the country by ICE -- an increase of 4,000 people in two weeks!

got a delightfully dumb push poll in a text today if anybody else feels like weighing in on these important issues a.publicstream.org/s3/n2p?a=uaig

Trump looking absolutely inconsolable at his fascist-themed 79th birthday party which no one turned up to other than those who had to because he's their boss.

US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee: “Washington no longer fully supports the creation of an independent Palestinian state. “If a Palestinian state is formed, it might be located elsewhere in the region—not in the West Bank.” (Bloomberg)

must be incredibly frustrating and disheartening to have federal funding that was promised to you for important work suddenly and arbitrarily ripped away

LMAO even

In my latest for FP, I highlight how buried deep in the budget bill are provisions that empower the Treasury secretary to designate any nonprofit as a "terrorist-supporting organization" & revoke its tax-exempt status. foreignpolicy.com/2025/05/28/n...

Missile defense doesn't work, but at least it's stupidly expensive, has no appreciable spillover into other research, and in fact the pursuit of it actively makes nuclear war more likely.

Here is a clip of the student's speech.

Ben of Ben & Jerry’s *arrested* after confronting RFK Jr. & Congress: "They need to let food into Gaza. They need to let food to starving kids! Congress is paying to bomb poor kids in Gaza, and paying for it by kicking poor kids off Medicaid in the US!"

"I think it should be controversial to NOT say anything" about Gaza I spoke to YouTube star and children's educator Ms. Rachel about her outspoken support for Palestinian kids in Gaza - and the bad-faith attacks on her in response. Full interview here: zeteo.com/p/exclusive-...

Well done, University of Washington. This was outside my classroom on Thursday.

you know who else came from chicago and was on "a mission from god"

My universally unpopular opinion is that AI reveals why instructors need to take their role in assessment a lot more seriously. If AI can complete an assignment, and a human grader can't tell, it's not a good assignment. That's proof positive, in fact, of the busywork that AI will automate away.

Since Trump took office, his family has made $2.9 billion in crypto. Again, this is a level of corruption so cartoonish, so obvious & on the surface, that it seems to have stunned everyone to silence.

If Trump is serious about tariffs on movies, it's a very dangerous escalation. Tariffs have not traditionally been applied to services, and the United States is a massive net exporter of services. We would be extremely vulnerable to any service-based retaliation.

“And I’m like, what do you mean, you ‘do your own research’? You running a double-blind study in your living room, dawg?” - A guy walking ahead of me with his friends on a NYC sidewalk in 2021, also my favorite overheard dialogue of the entire pandemic

So just to recap, the Transportation Secretary is scared shitless of public transport. The Education Secretary is being sued for enabling child sex abuse. The Health Secretary is bringing back measles. And the Defense Secretary is texting classified war plans to the editor in chief of the Atlantic

i saw a twitter insult "your man drops mediocre loot" and it just cut through to the soul

There's like a 90% chance he goes nowhere, but if you hit that 10% (probably even less, if we're honest)... whew

At no point did I think Jalen Milroe would be there at 92. Absolutely cool with this pick because the cost is mid but if it clicks— whew boy. Seattle would have someone SPECIAL. And he doesn’t need to start right away.

Milroe!

🙏

Grey Zabel was drafted in round 1 pick 18 in the 2025 draft class. He scored a 9.49 #RAS out of a possible 10.00. This ranked 78 out of 1507 OT from 1987 to 2025. ras.football/ras-information/?PlayerID=27177&ovl=North+Dakota+State

On being called DEI and why it isn’t the burn they think it is

I was literally just thinking that the people who think they can look decent in an @ichotiner.bsky.social interview must be the equivalent of survey respondents who say they can win a fight with a bear in terms of confidence.

Good job team America www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...
