Chris’s whole post is amazing, including this, from E.B. White:

A thread by an A&M professor describing how the new rules will impact faculty. Syllabi must be fed into AI to be checked for content not aligned with approved syllabi; students will be encouraged to report faculty for inaccurate content; and young people are now being told they get to decide what a professor should teach.

Message to all faculty: your expertise is no longer trusted or valued at this so-called “university.”

"This isn't the America I know."

Black people:

Black thinkers & activists have been saying the same thing for more than 150 yrs: the rights, laws, & programs passed by Congress are meaningless if white Americans remain unwilling to enforce them.

Thank you to those who have shared and helped so far! $732/$2000 raised! I’m beside myself with gratitude, and hope for the first time in I don’t know how long.
Please keep sharing, if you don’t mind. #MutualAid

When the president is destroying national landmarks, murdering fishermen, raising prices because he's angry over a Reagan video, and kidnapping parents in front of their crying children is probably not an ideal time to have a lazy, completely incompetent legislative branch perpetually on vacation.

Thank youuuu!
We saw GDT's Frankenstein! It was amazing!

Thank you! You are so sweet! 🫂

Thank you!

Thank you! I know you would if you could!

Most appreciated! 🙌

I guess they don’t think the images of Trump tearing apart the WH and grounds are helpful to them.

My partner's Mom had 3 TIA events last week but they caught it early and she's doing 1 or 2 weeks in a Physical Therapy facility. She's gaining back strength & mobility, and never lost speech, but there's definitely recurrent disorientation & memory loss.
Positive thoughts & energies, please! 😬🙌

Reposting to remember!

Had to make a quick trip to FL for a family emergency (the person is well on the road to recovery), and now i am a bowl of lukewarm soup.

How y'all doing?

Legends gonna legend.

This looks PERFECT. I'm so excited! A nice, grounded, man on the street counterpoint to all the nobility squabbles in HotD. Can't wait!

Just killing time until the Peacemaker finale tonight. That's it, really.

In July I had to say goodbye to my beloved boy of 16 years, Herzog, who I raised from 8 wks old. It still hurts, now and then.

I'm so, so thankful Fergus was able to leave you happy and without pain, but I know it hurts. An early diagnosis is the cruelest blessing there is. 💔

Me too! I shall have to be content with 2/3 of your feline population & 100% of the canine. 😄

She's so helpful. 🫶

Tim Meadows is on Cameo

Me: *pays 140 dollars*

Tim Meadows: get away Dewey! don’t eat that Panda Express Orange Chicken! you don’t want any of that shit! It’s delicious!

Me: *delighted* *pays 140 dollars*

Meadows: Dewey get out of here! Don’t eat the rangoons! You don’t want any of that shit!

Me: *delighted* *pays 140

RIGHT?

That was a hero moment that made my heart soar. 🥹

As the country crumbles, I'm thankful for Peacemaker episodes.

Small consolation, but it means so much to see all those Yachtzees brutally slaughtered. 😌

Jamal Khashoggi, the Washington Post, and the Cost of Speaking Out As Saudi Arabia hosts comedians and courts gamers, the silenced voice of Jamal Khashoggi still echoes.

Washington Post dismantled the platform Jamal wrote on. Discarded the fellowship they created in his memory.

They fired me unjustly for speaking the truth.

But I’ll never stop talking about my friend, writer, and amazing human, Jamal Khashoggi.

RIP, Jamal.

ER doc here! This is a lie. Wait times are up because the American healthcare system is an unsustainable business model and a for-profit national healthcare system just doesn’t work. These problems will continue to get worse until we change that system. It literally has nothing to do with immigrants
