After 10 years of black hole science, Stephen Hawking is proven right Researchers have spent 10 years improving the massive detectors they use to catch shockwaves from colliding black holes, and now the science is precise enough to test one of Stephen Hawking's key ideas.

Fear and compliance.

That’s the point.

“Mistaken” abductions serve their purposes.

“Oops. You might be taken too.”

They’re a threat.

We have had nearly two decades of panic about Free Speech on Campus and not a single case, not even the ones they made up, were as bad as what's happening now

alt text A screenshot of a post on X by Karly Kingsley (@karlykingsley ): "Fair question." Below, a post by Mike Rothschild (@rothschildmd ) reads: "The US is scheduled to co-host the World Cup in 2026 and the Olympics in 2028. Why would thousands of international athletes and millions of fans from around the world come to a country where tourists, asylum seekers, and visa holders are being disappeared to foreign prisons?" Both accounts have blue checkmarks. Rothschild's profile picture shows a person in a suit.

Would anyone blame them if they said “hell no” to that?

Trump Demands We Shut Up…WE GET LOUDER!!! By Ben Meiselas

Trump is posting “shut up about egg prices” and don’t talk about broken promises like “no tax on tips,” “no tax on Social Security,” “no tax on overtime,” “free IVF,” instantly creating high-paying jobs, and peace in Ukraine. He’s too busy vacationing to be bothered open.substack.com/pub/meidasto...

Don’t tell me democracy is at risk and a constitutional crisis is unfolding and the best you got is a modified ping pong paddle.

Again, elections happen under competitive authoritarianism. What doesn’t happen is legal accountability for criminals allied with the government, or elections that are fully free & fair. We already don’t have those. If the claim is we’re still going to be a full democracy in 2026/8, I have bad news.
