Exactly this. Unless the opponent gives up space for a quick break, we are just dull…

Is it just me or was that 45 minutes of 4-4-2 with Xavi in a weird half forward role?

Trust in Media at New Low of 28% in U.S. Americans' trust in newspapers, television and radio to report the news fully, accurately and fairly is at a new low of 28%.

The Most Detailed Maps of H-1B Visa Holders Joining America's Top Research Institutions A new analysis by The Xylom shows for the first time just how much America’s top research institutions have grown to depend on the specialized knowledge of H-1B skilled workers — and how this…

EXCLUSIVE: A new analysis by The Xylom's @alexip718.com shows for the first time just how much America’s top research institutions have grown to depend on H-1B skilled workers — and how this delicate balance might be disrupted by U.S. President Donald Trump’s crackdown on legal immigration.

Well, wait until they ask a non-Korean Asian person this same question

This quote is 10x better if you read it in Trump’s voice

Alt text: Screenshot of a document outlining a new university policy. The bullet points state: No discussion of transgender topics or anything suggesting more than two genders. All information in syllabi about transgender topics must be removed. Instructors must use students’ given names, not preferred names. Safe-space stickers, LGBTQ flags, etc. are banned and must be removed. Employees must remove pronouns from email signatures. The university will not support faculty who teach or discuss these topics in class.

Under pressure from Texas government officials, Angelo State University in Texas is banning all discussion or mention of the existence of trans people along with banning the LGBTQ pride flag from campus and forced misgendering of trans people.

What movie do you consider “perfect”?

Trump to Add New $100,000 Fee for H-1B Visas in Latest Crackdown President Donald Trump is expected to sign a proclamation as soon as Friday that would move to extensively overhaul the H-1B visa program, requiring a $100,000 fee for applications in a bid to curb ov...

Hey remember last fall, when members of the press credulously reported that Trump would increase high-skilled immigration?
This will end it pretty much entirely.

Almost certainly illegal and likely to be struck down in court. Congress has only authorized the government to set fees to recover the cost of adjudicating the application. There is no statutory authority to impose fees designed to limit the use of a visa.

There was a leaked audio recording of Welsh’s phone call with the student. Welsh told the student firing the lecturer was “not happening”. This was before the whole thing blew up online. Basically they think he didn’t fire her soon enough.

I had this exact same experience this morning. Same reporter as Heidi.

This is *not* normal.

I have spoken to the press on these issues for two decades. No government official has ever demanded to know my identity in order to give a comment on a story.

Dear ICD-ers! Welcome to this platform. I hope you enjoy it as much as we do!

Spurs community on here is the main reason I hesitate. Tottenham till I die … from free speech.

this is normally something I’d post in Mandarin on a Chinese social media

considering deleting social media because curbing the urge to say stuff all the time is not healthy

Why are hundreds of LGBTQ+ books sitting in a Texas A&M warehouse? "It just felt really slimy on the university's part."

NEW in @chron.com: Hundreds of LGBTQ+ books were found sitting in a surplus warehouse at Texas A&M University, and the university won't say why. As first reported by @joyurcaba.bsky.social, the books include a memoir by Matthew Shepard's mother and academic texts.

I shouldn't be shocked, but I'm still always brought up short to realize how many people think "civility" means "white people speaking in relatively calm voices" no matter what vile shit they say.

“To allow universities to be bossed by political operatives in this way undermines the basic ideals of the university as well as [its] important links to the future of critical thought, dissent, and democracy."
