Does he not comprehend that her career is why he has one? Like, her connections gave him a leg up (pun intended). I understand if being made to dance as a kid pissed him off but he wouldn't have a freaking job without ballet. What an ungrateful, weenie hut jr, loser ass thing to dunk on.

Congratulations to the package thief who stole my Nintendo Switch 2. I was really looking forward to it. Maybe you need the money you’ll get for it more than I needed the joy. That’s what I’m gonna tell myself so I don’t start breaking things in my lovely apartment rn. I’m cool. I’M COOL.

Screenshot of my DOGE letter “Dr. Joseph Rezek Dear NEH Grantee, This letter provides notice that the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) is terminating your federal grant (Grant Application No. FEL29509824) effective April 3, 2025, in accordance with the termination clause in your Grant Agreement. Your grant no longer effectuates the agency's needs and priorities and conditions of the Grant Agreement and is subject to termination due to several reasonable causes, as outlined in 2CFR§200.340. For instance, NEH has reasonable cause to terminate your grant in light of the fact that the NEH is repurposing its funding allocations in a new direction in furtherance of the President's agenda. The President's February 19, 2025 executive order mandates that the NEH eliminate all non-statutorily required activities and functions. See Commencing the Reduction of the Federal Bureaucracy, E.O. 14217 (Feb. 19, 2025). Your grant's immediate termination is necessary to safeguard the interests of the federal government, including its fiscal priorities. Any objections or appeals to this termination will be managed in strict accordance with the President's Executive Orders,

Last year, this guy (left) from DOGE used ChatGPT to find NEH grants that were too “DEI” for Trump, and canceled them, including mine, as shown by the letter I received last April (right). Huge new NYT article on the back story link below

They may hate each other, but I hate both of them.

If Timothee Chalamet wants to make being a reverse-snob part of his deal, whatever. Be a child, you know?

But at a time when arts funding and support are so imperiled, it would be nice not to lead with your contempt for wide swaths of the arts during your campaign to have your own art recognized.

White House blocks report warning of rising homeland terror threat linked to Iran war Story by Shawn Cohen and Philip Nieto

As with so many other stories, this should and would be the major scandal of any other administration.

"They don’t want anything getting out that says what they’re doing in Iran is raising the threat level at home."

Ah shit! We let pedophiles decide our beauty standards. Post the release of the harrowing Epstein files, and the powerful men in media and fashion, considered possible accomplices, it feels fair to say this with more gusto!

One of the most powerful things I've read in years, and a real dropping of the scales moment for something vile that has been insidiously poisoning everything for decades

I feel like we need to just systematically push back on these news orgs that want to call harassing your employee to the point of suicide a “sex scandal”.

This guy should be instantly gone from Congress with extreme prejudice.

it is right and appropriate that careers end over supporting this administration

some of them will try to lay low for a minute and then take a swing at state office after enough time has gone by and I hope by then Trump is so radioactive that anyone who ever backed him is unelectable

This woman, US citizen living in Skokie, was detained at Ohare yesterday, taken to Broadview, then transferred to a detention facility in Wisconsin, now released. We know all this not because of DHS, who repeatedly denied that they even had her, but because her phone was pinging in those locations.

Photo of a Townsend's Solitaire perched at the top of a juniper by Charles Gates. Text on the photo says "Unsolicited Bird Fact: If Townsend's Solitaires drank cocktails, their drink of choice would probably be a gin and tonic. During the winter they eat almost exclusively juniper berries. During the breeding season, solitaires move into higher elevation (or latitude) coniferous forests where they feed primarily on insects. If we knew anything we'd make a gin and name it after these elegant birds.

Did you ask for a bird fact? No, but you're getting one whether you like it or not. 🪶

there's so much bad in the world but there's also people who lift up and carry an elderly bat around every day so he can pretend he's flying again, and that's the part of the world I think is worth fighting for

Seeing two of my favorite writers interacting on BlueSky is….too fabulous for words. Thank you. ❤️❤️❤️💐💐💐

The current Israeli ambassador to the United States, Yechiel Leiter, was reportedly a member of the terrorist organization founded by Kahane known as the Jewish Defense League (JDL) in his youth.

That portion of his Wiki page has been scrubbed, but I found it in an old thread of mine (on the left):

"why are people so mad at genAI companies and evangelists for those tools?"

well, i might have some theories

As long as we’re talking about the influence of Meir Kahane:

Statler the bat passed away a couple of years after his viral video, while in the arms of his keeper, but the geribatric unit is still a safe retirement home for elderly bats.

"If the law supposes that," said Mr. Bumble, squeezing his hat emphatically in both hands, "the law is a ass — a idiot. If that's the eye of the law, the law is a bachelor; and the worst I wish the law is, that his eye may be opened by experience — by experience.”

the fact that we're finally learning just how very many men in this world, particularly in this country, HATE us. Genuinely HATE women, want us all dead, want us to be subdued, want us to never dance with wild abandon like that woman on the dancefloor ever again – it all just hit me in one blow. 6/x
