headline title from the new york times for a discussion about the negotiations different universities are entering into with the trump administration and the title frames the discussion with this facepalming question: Is There a Smart Way to Cede Power to Donald Trump? Three Opinion writers debate whether universities should make a deal with the administration.

sorry, what?

didn’t initially realize this isn’t the tv show! it’s just a straight reread of her books as a cash grab. it’s basically a tribute album to raise money for charity; the charity is “for the good of society, transgenderism must be eradicated from public life entirely.”

fuck every one of these people.

No you haven't, you've just written 'Day 29' twice. I do have 30 songs against your name.

(Day 30)

Also trying to do some groundwork on the C21 challenge website!

If I was terse then it was because I thought I'd lost all the custom colours I set up over the weekend...

Sorry; missed that. Will update when I get home.

No it isn't, because you only sent me a top 25 as you were still working on the bottom half.

What is the year for this, please?

I'm almost certain the 60s has the highest no. of songs:different artists ratio.

To confirm: this is the first Manics song to have been posted.

There are two others (from the same album) in lists, one of which I will also be posting in a few days.

It's a rare moment when literally everyone on Bluesky can come together in agreement on something. That we are all, in one voice, equally appalled at Jim Acosta is giving me hope that a better world is possible.

Just think about how many opportunities he had to not do this or for anyone on his staff to suggest that this is perhaps a monumentally bad idea

Unbelievable

*cough* a certain innings on day five at The Oval in 2005

ISTR, exactly 20 years ago this week, it was the same with Ashley Giles.

If anything there's even more of an us against the world mentality with Stokes and McCullum.

Fitness permitting, everyone knows the top seven for Perth surely. Whaddaya want, Hameed and Bethell chucked in instead?

This week in 2024:

- 'Good Luck Babe' spent its first week of six at No.2 in the UK chart.

- For 5 of those 6 weeks - including ths one - it would be stuck behind a Sabrina Carpenter song.

Excellent strategy to avoid vote-splitting in #TheTwen2ie5 and #Twen2y526, brava!

THESE WORDS

(the Glossary)

This is actually quite fun now.

This challenge is for 1954 and afterwards.

(it does actually have a 12 in one list, though absolutely nothing else: this was for Bluesky only!)

How are the holes?

After three years, your "beautiful" is my "tedious".

Not that I'm assuming that's why it hasn't been picked, but I have grown very weary of the defensive "this is basic" disclaimer.

Well, she's been waiting very patiently through 34 days of posts, and this is the only time I'm going to unleash her...

In "astonishingly, this is the first pick across all posts and lists" news...

#ALL50RTS

Yes it's Jel who sent the list, in fact

I can't do memes, but...

The Owls are in a list!!

It's not this track!!

The Afropop Girls Making This Summer Sexy In the latest installment of our Afropop column 'Made In Africa,' new releases from acts like Ayra Starr, Tyla, and Amaarae are making summer sexy

The women of Afropop are bringing sexy back.

New releases from acts like Ayra Starr, Tyla, and Amaarae are turning up the heat.

(there is now a page called MIDNIGHTS - might as well commit to the 21C bit)

Also, both 05 and 23 were largely even contests between bat and ball.

I can't argue for this one when the leading wicket-taker is likely to average well over 30 and it's the highest-scoring 5-Test series ever.

Oh I don't disagree. Many's the time I've been exasperated by facile comaprisons with 2005, thinking "no, look at context and who was on the field".

I would still be picking 2023 over it to be honest, because without rain it would *probably* be the only series since 1937 in which 0-2 became 3-2.
