Fascinating

Indiana has had a pretty brutal past 6 months on the COVlD front. Presently or soon, you may notice an uptick in Long COVID issues among students or more students out for family bereavement.

I posted this video a few months on other platforms. There are some shutdown gaps, but overall very bad.

US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee has emailed staff urging those wishing to leave the country to depart "today”. He warns of likely high demand for flights from Ben Gurion Airport and stresses the importance of a rapid exit. NYT has seen the email.

Enforcing Prohibition with a massive new federal force of poorly trained agents didn’t go so well in the 1920s Both Prohibition and current mass deportation efforts were hastily built, staffed by people permitted to use force, and had difficult objectives to achieve.

Poorly-trained, politically motivated agents shooting bystanders.

Here’s a brief history of the massive expansion of federal policing in the 1920s to enforce Prohibition:

Kamala Harris: When this guy is talking about the economy is roaring…

Who’s it roaring for when you put a $1 trillion cut to Medicaid? You know what Medicaid funds? Families with children, pregnant women, seniors, people with disabilities. Meanwhile, a $1 trillion tax cut for the richest people

Bonta: I’m worried about the fact that California is a universal vote-by-mail state—many states are—and the U.S. Postal Service is an entity of the federal government. Could ballots be seized while on their way before they’re counted?

Sending you good thoughts, Matthew! I hope the kind nurse continues to help you, and that you get the care and relief you need. ❤️

The watchlists are real, kids, & have historically led to escalations in repressive state violence.

just an an addendum to this, last storm he offered $19/hour with a possible increase to $28/hour after a certain amount of time worked, but i imagine that number wasn’t attractive enough so this time he was just like, $30 for everyone. adaptability!

Great to see our UCL research on #AI bias featured in this @financialtimes.com article, where Bates describes "How #Tech has turned against women" 🤖. Our study unearthed sexist biases in AI used for #liverdisease, exposing risks to women & minorities from #HealthcareAI 🏥@uclpophealthsci.bsky.social

US added to international watchlist for rapid decline in civic freedoms Civicus, an international non-profit, puts country alongside Democratic Republic of Congo, Italy, Pakistan and Serbia

The United States is now on the Civicus Monitor Watchlist.

A global list of countries where there is a serious decline in respect for civic freedoms.

The watchlist was updated in March 2025 and includes the US alongside the Democratic Republic of Congo, Pakistan, Kenya, and Serbia.

A tariff “refund” mostly goes to whoever wrote the tariff check: the importer of record. That’s not the same person who paid more at the register. So refunds -- if they're offered -- might sound like consumer relief, but in reality, they're corporate windfalls.

Red States’ Fascist Campaign Against Colleges and Professors Trump and his hench people get all the attention, but red-state governors and legislators are waging a largely under-the-radar war on liberal education.

This is an important round-up of Red States' going after higher education from @perrybaconjr.bsky.social featuring my recent interview with @grundrza.bsky.social on censorship in Florida.

As Musk’s xAI Data Centers Encroach on Southaven, North Mississippi Residents Push Back As Elon Musk’s xAI expands its data centers into Southaven, Mississippi, residents are decrying noise pollution and raising concerns over emissions.

"Our communities are not playgrounds for corporations who are chasing profit over people. xAI's first data center is already creating pollution for Mississippi's neighbors in Memphis ... and now they are polluting in Southaven, Mississippi," said NAACP's Abre' Conner.

Thread is so delightful. The image of Pitt and Cushing painting miniatures together between takes is one of my favourite things ever. I just love the idea of them being interrupted by work and being like 'oh well - stake through the heart time again, I suppose'.

We've extended this deadline, so if you send us an abstract over the weekend, or on Monday/Tuesday, we'll still consider it! @gcyfrg.bsky.social

So, after being told that he overstepped his authority by illegally raising everyone’s taxes, Trump has responded by declaring the imposition of new tariffs that would be close to the worst-case scenario outlined here by @budgetlab.bsky.social. www.mediamatters.org/donald-trump...

Cleopatra lived closer in time to 'yeet' being in the dictionary than to the construction of the Great Pyramid of Giza.

They don't know enough about how the system works, and self-publishing seems a lot easier (even if it's not necessarily the best fit), especially when you don't have the time or energy to keep querying persistently.

Thank-you! This is very kind. ❤️ I may take you up on it at some point! 😊 I hope I didn't come across as angry at you at all; I really wasn't. I do think a lot of people get easily discouraged trying to navigate trad publishing.

My latest video on Ford's "basket weaving" OSAP comment has reached the "Study whatever you want but don't expect the gov to pay you for it" crowd, and I don't think they grasp how desolate their lives would be if there was no art, no culture, no history. We can't have a society of only STEM majors.

How tech turned against women As AI-generated sexualised images proliferate and app-facilitated abuse spreads, we are sleepwalking into a new age of gender inequality. It is time to regulate properly

Cannot recommend this piece by Laura Bates highly enough.

"We are tumbling into a downward spiral that risks accelerating the already alarming regression of women’s rights worldwide." - Laura Bates

Today’s Kurt Cobain’s 59th birthday. A few years back I got to write the "official" government dedication for Nirvana and grunge. Probably the one thing that I've done that'll still be read 200 years from now. www.loc.gov/static/progr...
