I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

I grew up with Alex Pretti The kind-hearted ICU nurse shot by ICE agents was my childhood best friend.

I wrote about my childhood friend Alexi Pretti. Please read it and share it and remember him as a human being. @theverge.com

I don't know who needs to hear this, but cops are not allowed to shoot people just because you didn't do what they said.

That is called murder when they do that.

Some cops are working hard to convince people otherwise.

Not all sexual swellings signal fertility. Some signal strategy. In our new Current Biology paper, we show how gelada females “fake it” during male takeovers—and why it works.

In stunning comeback, Carney’s Liberals win Canada’s federal election The result marked a reversal in fortunes for a party that was on track for a massive drubbing only months ago and capped a campaign upended by Trump.

Breaking news: Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney’s Liberals won a federal election Monday, the country’s public broadcaster, the CBC, projected, a comeback that was fueled in part by President Donald Trump’s tariff policies and attacks on Canada.

This NYT-driven nonsense bugs me every time I see it. Let's set the record straight (again).

Lead or leave

Among those supporting the compact was Silke-Maria Weineck, a professor of German studies and comparative literature. She decided to vote yes after seeing Michigan on the government’s “target list.” Already this semester, she said, more than a dozen staff have been fired as Michigan administrators ended campus DEI initiatives. “Either they wanted to do this and used the Trump policy as cover, or they’re cowards,” Weineck said Tuesday. She faulted Michigan’s president, Santa Ono, for failing to support the compact effort. “We need a wartime president. He’s completely not up to the moment,” she said. Ono did not respond to a request for comment.

rather pleased with my quote in the WaPo

UM faculty urge Ono, regents to create mutual defense compact in Big 10 The UM Faculty Senate adopted four resolutions to defend students, faculty and staff against recent pressure from the Trump administration.

“The subjugation of universities to state power is a hallmark of autocracy. Columbia University’s immediate submission and betrayal of the core mission of higher education reflects cowardice and capitulation to a government that seems intent on destroying US higher education.”
