NYPD observed staging on Canal & Broadway, expected come over for crowd control.

The president has illegally declared war to stop fentanyl trafficking from a country that does not traffic that drug, claiming its leader is trafficking drugs himself, the day after pardoning a former leader of a country who is a convicted drug trafficker.
Just to level set

Long overdue!

Opinion | Jamal Khashoggi: What the Arab world needs most is free expression The Arab world needs a modern version of the old transnational media so citizens can be informed about global events.

I will never forget having to edit Jamal’s final, posthumous piece for the Washington Post, after he was murdered.

He was calling for free expression in the Arab world. You can read it here :

CIA concludes Saudi crown prince ordered Jamal Khashoggi’s assassination Audio recordings, intercepted phone calls and other intelligence link Mohammed bin Salman to killing that Saudis say was conducted by rogue elements.

A reminder that seven years ago almost to the day, the CIA determined that Mohammed Bin Salman ordered the killing of @washingtonpost.com journalist Jamal Khashoggi.

I hired and worked with Jamal for a year.

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ So wish I could buy one here in the U.S.!

THIS IS BIG

For non-academics who might not understand why:
1. Sen. Warren is still a Harvard professor so this is a call coming from inside the house
2. As a tenured law prof, Warren knows it is a VERY big deal from a labor standpoint to call on Harvard to ignore tenure. The bar for this is HIGH.

Summers' misogyny runs so deep. Keep him away from women!

Album cover for 1984's Purple Rain by Prince and the Revolution

Great albums in 1984, but #1 is easy: Purple Rain by Prince and the Revolution. Absolutely transformative. Runners up include U2's Unforgettable Fire, Tina Turner's Private Dancer, Madonna's Like a Virgin, Springsteen's Born in the U.S.A., Wham!'s Make It Big, & Judas Priest's Defenders of the Faith

And I'll say it again:

‪If we had believed children and women, none of this would be happening.

He'd be in jail, and she'd be President.

look I know being an engaged citizen IS the work of democracy but it is also the work of elected officials not to create situations where everyone has to be mobilized all the time to prevent them from allowing some kind of Dickensian horror on a Sunday night while you're in between loads of laundry

LOLsob

My heart breaks for these folks and my brain boggles at these Democratic Senators' betrayal.

Mass murderers

Very interesting work! Kudos @peterjwagner3.bsky.social!

Honestly the biggest message tonight has been: when we fight together, we win.

We as a nation have come together to fight fascism, to fight authoritarianism, to loudly and proudly declare: WE WILL HAVE NO KING IN AMERICA.

And when you come for one of us, you better prepare to face all of us.

Absolutely shocking! Teen Vogue had some truly excellent political coverage, but no more. The erasure of Black and trans journalists is unconscionable.

@neguse.house.gov gives a lesson on how to reframe a journalist’s stupid question about #SNAP! 💪🏼

The ones in the hats
were the fattest of cats,
and their honks and their hoots
Would grow in cahoots
In a place they all called Maralago!

Till the orange skinned fellow
Or it could have been yellow
Would bend at the knees
And release his foul breeze
In a curse he had cursed at Chicago

I feel seen!

15 million Americans are going to lose their health care.

Wishing you all a HAPPY HAMILLWEEN !!! 🎃 👻 😱 💀 🧙‍♀️ 🐈‍⬛

My costume this year is from one of my favorite Disney movies: Pinocchio.

How do you like me as Geppetto?

Witmer with the holotype skull of Nanotyrannus (CMNH 7541) for CT scanning (June 2023). I had this same skull on loan in my Ohio University lab for study and CT scanning for over a year and, as far as I can tell, never appeared in a photo with it. I didn't my chance this time!

We'll close out this #FossilFriday with the obvious choice of Nanotyrannus. I couldn't share this CT scanning session at the time (June 2023) but can now. @jgn-paleo.bsky.social brought the holotype Cleveland skull he had on loan, and CMNH VP curator Caitlin Colleary & I joined in the fun!

….but is it a COOL rock?
