This is absolutely bonkers and infuriating.
Must-read reporting by ProPublica.
NEW: for new fans looking to get into the NWSL this season, I compiled a list of the best accounts to follow to stay up on all the news, analysis, and storylines:
I really thought I was behind on prepping for maternity leave and then I realized how organized I am for myself so I can get through the semester. Thank goodness that past me is nice to present me.
The primary aims of AI images targeting Trump's political opponents are, of course, to harass, demean, and discredit them.
But they have a secondary effect: to overwhelm the internet with unusable, false, unstable information, and then to mock the idea of finding out what’s true at all.
Currently distracted because baby girl is moving in my stomach while I am trying to read.
One week of teaching left, then spring break, then maternity leave.....then a baby.
It was wrong and harmful - and quite possibly unlawful - to cut already approved NEH grants because Donald Trump hates "DEI."
But the way DOGE went about doing it was even dumber than you probably imagined.
They fed abstracts into ChatGPT and demanded an answer in fewer than 120 characters.
Agreed!! I feel the same running an online course....
We're so proud to announce that Reveal has won an Ambie award for "Best News & Politics Podcast!" 🎉

I'm just not staying on top of deadlines (granted, I'm having a baby in less than 30 days) and it is like if it isn't in front of me, I'm not thinking about it.
I'm taking an online training through my university and I think I was right on that I would not be a great online student.
I'm itching closer to being about a month away from my due date and I really should not schedule meetings after lunch.
Great🧵 from my @propublica.org colleague @nicolefoy.bsky.social 👇
Hilary Knight got the question re: that phone call and the laughter at the Torrent presser. Her answer:
This is an educational catastrophe designed to weaken the humanities at University of Texas.
I need to stop thinking about the US men's hockey team. I can understand the peer pressure in the moment but....like don't double down. Apologize and like don't make your mom have to explain your poor choices.

An NPR investigation finds the public database of Epstein files is missing dozens of pages related to sexual abuse accusations against President Trump. n.pr/4qTItsU
Need something for a student. Quick: links to essays on what it feels like to listen to, or love, a musician? Not criticism -- the personal experience of loving a song or an album or a musician's work?
The Epstein files document what many women researchers have long experienced but rarely seen laid bare so starkly: exclusion operating behind closed doors, shaping who gets funded, invited, mentored, and taken seriously. How many of these networks, norms, and gatekeepers remain in place?
Sigh, had someone send an email at 4:53 p.m. on Friday and is expecting me to provide answers for a reference by EOD today..........
USA's Olympic gold medal winning women's hockey team has declined President Donald Trump's White House invitation.
Earlier Trump mocked the women's team on a call with USA's men's team.

A weird fun fact is that my father-in-law wrote and produced t.A.T.u.’s album so it’s the first and probably only time our work will overlap (I interviewed him for this).
And the women’s team:
- the daughter of Chinese immigrants who rebuffed an aggressive campaign to get her to skate for China
- the daughter of an Italian immigrant embryologist mom who named her after a Michelle Pfeiffer character
- the pansexual daughter of a Texas cop (who is her biggest fan)
Scott Hamilton almost crying has me almost crying in my office.
Our alt skating queen!
🚨 WORLD RECORD 🚨
Less than a week after moving to third in world history in the indoor 800m, Keely Hodgkinson blasts a 1:54.88 in Liévin to break Jolanda Čeplak’s previous high-water mark.
Čeplak ran the previous record on the same day Hodgkinson was born nearly 24 years ago.
put it in the Louvre
WOW......
THE USA PLAYED IT LIKE A GOLD MEDALIST 🥇
Congratulations to the 16 PWHL players who will be bringing home the gold with Team USA!
