This is excellent news. Still so disappointing that this irresponsible piece wasn’t spiked by RNZ in advance.

I don't love using "blood libel" to describe anything other than the actual historical phenomenon of accusations against Jews of ritually killing Christian children. But if anything in modern political discourse structurally resembles a blood libel, it's Vance accusing Haitians of eating cats.

It’s funny because β€œEnd Racism” was supposedly β€œtoo political” for professional sports.

BREAKING: BlueSky is blocking access to Mississippi.

This is the No. 1 platform for @mississippifreepress.org.

We ditched X for BlueSky early this year.

And now, at 3 pm on a Friday, poof.

I don't know what we'll do next.

It would be inaccurate to say that at least one person is dead because the secretary of health and human services is a conspiracist creep. Partly because 80 Samoan children are also dead because of that fact

The wildest thing about this era is watching so many institutions say out loud yeah, we’re done committing ourselves to excellence, we’re going to specialize in the coddling of mediocre white men

So basically they are going to look up how many black people were admitted in a given university and decide whether it’s too many. We all know they aren’t going to look at thousands of schools, so this is really about the Ivies…again.

I called and am getting transferred to the secretary, that direct line is: 202-690-7000
Introverts: it's after office hours right now, so you won't have to speak to a human if you call the direct line now and leave a message.

RFK Jr. backs down all the time when he gets push back, so if anyone wants to call, here's the HHS number 1-877-696-6775.
I'd also call your senators/reps as well.

Opinion | Braindead MAGA voters flock to Donald Trump to tell them that minorities are inferior and unworthy of their achievements. As a center-right intellectual, I pay Bari Weiss thousands of dollars to tell me the same thing using fancier words.

When you’re so busy crowing about your political motivations that you forget to pretend you did it for the Jews.

Columbia Agrees to $200 Million Fine to Settle Fight With Trump

Can someone smarter than the New York Times explain to me what exactly the $200M fine that Columbia is paying is *for*?

Because in my naivetΓ© and with $400M in grant funding canceled, this is indistinguishable from a protection racket.

Ah! Posie Parker, that great defender of women and women's rights, seen here celebrating male police officers hurting a woman she disagrees with.

We are a few months out, at best, when it will come out that a mexican american citizen died in ICE/CBP while in detention and it will realistically not register as a news event for longer than a few days

Lately I haven't been well on the Wellington buses. Stale air and HVAC not working properly. So last night I took an Aranet CO2 air quality sensor from work and tried it on the No.1 bus from Newtown to Johnsonville.
Here are the levels at some time points while travelling home.😳

You know the *only* reason he got out so fast was a reporter live posted about this for hours. And, a large amount of public pressure.

Every time someone gets grabbed, there has to be a robust public response immediately.

THIS. The media obsession with elite universities completely warps its coverage of any story connected to higher ed.

not going to say the timeline would have turned out way differently if elite universities had just told Elise Stefanik to fuck off a year ago, but it probably wouldn't have hurt

The student paper at the college at which I teach reports a "tsunami of takedown requests" from international students terrified of being targeted for innocuous, legitimate op-eds & opinions.. Many ask in person--leave no trace in writing. Reminds me of my father's account of studying in the USSR.

St Helens and Warrington air quality monitors have 'dramatic' effect Families in St Helens and Warrington can use the monitors to check for air pollution in their homes.

'Dramatic' effect of air quality monitors
"It's clearly having a dramatic & positive impact on the health of young children, with reduced need for inhalers and fewer hospital visits recorded by parents and guardians."
Clean air indoors benefits everyone.

We’re not talking about the eugenics part enough

Trump: migrants have β€œbad genes”
RFK: β€œhealthy” people don’t die of measles
Musk: loves race science and the R slur; hates WFH policies

the thing is people can and do separate products from their CEO’s politics all the time, mostly because the list of CEOs with good politics probably fits on a post-it note

but Elon wants Tesla to be a referendum on how we personally feel about him so here’s our verdict: fuck you, asshole, you suck
