UNC leadership has been cowardly and backwards for a while but this sure is terrible!

It would be cool sometime if higher ed journalism remembered now and then that Evergreen has been doing this sort of thing since our founding!

what the fuck?

Surely this is not a true thing. Surely he does not have such abject moral cowardice that he won't do anything to protect his home state...

i don't think the news media believes that things actually happen anymore

they're only aware of people *saying* a thing happened, and perhaps some other people saying something different

but the thing itself? they all suddenly become hardline kantians: "no no no, we can't perceive the *noumenal*"

I just saw someone use the abbreviation “AI;DR” and I’ll be laughing for a while.

In a new video, Dolly Parton, the Queen of America, says she’s going to be ok.

Journalism is one of those things like public education, libraries, and being kind to people that 21st century capitalism will not only destroy, but make it seem impossible that it ever existed. As if it were against human nature for it to exist.

I get why people are mad Bari Weiss is once again failing upward based on her power to bamboozle tech idiots but that's all that's happening, here, and it will end n CBS dissolution which should have just happened anyway

Remember when these guys ran a completely fabricated story about trans kids sourced to a single bigot who worked at St Louis Children’s Hospital and it got so much traction that they ended a bunch of programs for trans kids because of all the bomb threats

When I wore that “freedom isn’t free” t-shirt back in the Obama administration, I wasn’t so much honoring veterans as I was warning people that if they expressed their freedom in a way I didn’t like then they should have their freedom taken away from them. Sorry for the misunderstanding.

also, in keeping with Vance’s view of american identity, only white people are fully American with the right to critique or dissent. nonwhites must show proper gratitude (supporting Trump or marrying JD Vance) before they can speak critically of the country (in approved ways, of course)

ESPN shares an interview with a UNC student going into commercial, with Clemson leading 28-3.

"TCU was... I went to that game. And that was, that was one of the saddest feelings I've had in University so far. I've failed midterms before, so that's saying something." 🏈💀 #CFB

Forgot to do my annual October name change until now. Hi y'all.

From Walter Cronkite to Bari Weiss is the worst trajectory a civilization could possibly have.

We live in an age where mediocre reactionaries keep failing upward, lining their pockets by stripping our society of all that is good--and smiling at us as they do.

One of my favorite anecdotes from THE PREHISTORY OF THE FAR SIDE: "That doesn't sound like the Jane Goodall we know."

I am keeping my world very small to focus on the immediate and close as much as possible

Good luck! You got this!!

If any other president in all of history said the military should use American cities as a training ground he would be removed from office that same day. The hardest thing to tolerate in all this is how relatively silent elected democrats are. It’s ridiculous.

Once again I will never get over that people allowed this to happen. And I will never forgive those who did.

A thing about this is that it's literal treason

the president of the united states wants to use the american military to kill american citizens on american soil. that's the whole story!

People on here will see Trump ranting about deploying the military and go "that's the ballgame" like these people didn't lose a staring contest to Jimmy fucking Kimmel days ago

I encourage all the media outlets who are about to send people to ”war ravaged” Portland to think twice. Some of the strongest extremism reporters in the country live in this region; journalists who understand the culture of the Northwest and the history of activism here. Do it right this time okay?

At the request of Secretary of Homeland Security, Kristi Noem, I am directing Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth, to provide all necessary Troops to protect War ravaged Portland, and any of our ICE Facilities under siege from attack by Antifa, and other domestic terrorists. I am also authorizing Full Force, if necessary. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

Trump says he’s authorized Hegseth to use “Full Force” against Antifa in “War ravaged” Portland

The thing that happens when a government breaks down is that theoretical questions become material ones. The question: Where does authority come from?

easy way to nip this in the bud is for someone to invite farrakhan or dr. umar
