This. Right here. Don't get me wrong, the cuts to NOAA/NWS are super dangerous in the long term but this disaster is not at the feet of the meteorologists. It's local officials. I keep seeing this narrative spread by progressives on the left and it's simply not true.

The U.S. military just detained a member of the U.S. military who was on his way to do U.S. military things.

assassinations, handcuffing a senator at press conference, marines detaining a civilian, and a military parade for the president’s birthday. rough week for democracy.

Trans Man Detained After Using Women’s Restroom in South Carolina Anti-trans lawmakers want to force trans men to use the women's restroom. Here’s what happened when one did.

1. A transgender man was detained in South Carolina for using the restroom that Republicans want him to use.

Officers allegedly hurled slurs at him for doing so.

The reality of course about the Holocaust is that it will be demanding, both intellectually and emotionally. Weekly my students and I covered complex and challenging topics, and their willingness to show up, learn, and contribute made our sections on Thursday a highlight of my week

I was delighted to be invited to speak at the @azrielimemoirs.bsky.social International Conference β€˜The Role of Auschwitz in Holocaust Narratives.’ I spoke about how gender appears as a causal and analytical factor in these memoirs. The whole conference was incredibly stimulating!

whenever i watch formula one i can't help but think of some ways i would optimize the sport. for instance, i think they should mount a fifth tire in the center of the undercarriage that's set about three inches lower than the other tires. they need to slow this sport down and add a little wobble

A large, two-story Southern plantation-style mansion engulfed in flames, with fire consuming the upper floors and thick black smoke billowing into the sky. The mansion features tall white columns and a grand staircase at the entrance. In the foreground, several firefighters in yellow helmets and protective gear work to manage hoses and battle the blaze, while a white fence separates them from the burning structure. The scene is chaotic and dramatic, with intense fire and smoke dominating the image.

🧡The largest plantation in the South burned down this week.
And the way white folksβ€”especially wedding vendorsβ€”are mourning β€œmemories” and β€œbrides who won’t get to have their special day there”?

It’s giving cognitive dissonance.

Because let’s be real...
