BREAKING: The Department of Education has ended its directive that attempted to restrict diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts in schools nationwide.

This is a victory for academic freedom and education equity.

Curious if others have a novel they read every year? I have three that never disappoint ✨

A wonderful piece, Myles. Loved this line: The presence of personalities that made tennis feel human, electric, and alive.

They are irreplaceable. Gael has been my favorite player for more than a decade, and I swear I could watch Stan hit one-handed backhands for a solid hour and still want more.

Good night!

Most of the power authoritarians have is freely given. We should not comply with them in advance.

Trump is far weaker than he looks. So is the GOP. We should draw them out, drain them at every opportunity, and fight for people’s wellbeing at every turn.

We have been sent here to fight for people.

I have one proposal that would save New York City as well as Hollywood

Bring back second-run theaters

Yes, and you can win more points in a match and still lose!

I watch em all

We couldn't have said it better than @gqmagazine.bsky.social 😌

Forgive my lack of knowledge, but does “lookback time” mean the amount of time it took for the image to reach us?

The Magician, Toibin’s fictional biography of Thomas Mann held me rapt—and so unexpectedly. You remind me I must read The Master. Don’t miss Glenway Wescott’s The Pilgrim Hawk. I read it once a year! (James, not since school)

Bring it

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.

This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.

It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

Where did this happen?

Go on

Music is joy! #AGoodPlace

8:38 4 Bluesky •• I LTE 90• Science On a Nature news article reporting that NIH planned to suspend subawards for foreign collaborations: "No, that's false. There's going to be a policy on tracking subawards. The NIH and the government should be able to see where the money's going." "I'm really uncomfortable with this conversation, because you're like, actually spreading rumors that you don't know anything about... Nature also is spreading rumors. Halt foreign collaborations, that's not true." "We're working on the policy, Jocelyn. You shouldn't be reporting rumors. I know there's leaks all over here, but the leaks don't actually reflect what's happening. Don't write about rumors. It actually makes the things that you and I care about worse. Like it spreads panic." Later that day, NIH released a policy that halted future subawards to foreign scientists and said they will need to apply directly for money under a system still in development.

Daddio was an absorbing surprise. Great writing and acting. Sean Penn, Dakota Johnson

🚨UPDATE: Rümeysa Öztürk has now suffered three separate asthma attacks while in DHS custody.

She has not received her required asthma medications—a violation of her fundamental right to medical care.

This is cruelty, it is neglect, and it is a damning moral and legal failure.

'Segregated facilities' are no longer explicitly banned in federal contracts The Trump administration cut a clause from federal contracting rules that had been on the books since the 1960s: Companies are no longer explicitly prohibited from having segregated facilities.

And the physicists said that it was impossible to ever travel back to the past. Hah!

YouTube video by WAAY 31 News Ex Viking Chris Kluwe ARRESTED after criticizing MAGA at Huntington Beach, Calif., meeting

see how engaging in civil disobedience while describing in plain language exactly what MAGA is doing generates the most applause and enthusiasm you’ve ever seen at a city council meeting? Very demure, very mindful, very good thing to point out to your elected representatives youtu.be/WOPslXXdpEg?...

Never heard of her and I watch tennis nearly every day!
