And they're paying tens of thousands of dollars a year for this bullshit.

As a parent there is no way in hell I'm paying $80K/year for a machine to write an assignment, do the assignment, and grade the assignment. My oldest is at a small local college and gets actual instruction, work, and grading for pennies on the dollar.

Amid Trump crackdown on Chinese students, one US university appears to block them altogether Purdue says no ban on Chinese students exists, but reportedly rescinded dozens of offers after warnings from legislators

I want us to understand this in the context of these same people killed affirmative action using Chinese-American plaintiffs because they said helping Black people was discriminatory against Asian Americans and anti-merit. Once again: it was never about that. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Also, Jesse Jackson loudly stood up for gay people at a very serious moment when hate and fear against us was at its peak in the AIDS crisis. This was a real risk but the right thing to do. And it’s a reason I despise modern Democrats who waffle and hedge on trans rights. BE MORE JESSE JACKSON ⭐

ICE just bought this building in Romulus to turn it into a detention center. In a matter of months, this could turn into a place that ruins lives. All that money should be saving livesβ€”through healthcare, housing, or infrastructure.

Why the hell are we spending our tax dollars on this? ABOLISH ICE.

With New Momentum, Republican States Push Broader Limits for Trans Americans In states that once focused mainly on health care and sports for transgender minors, debates now revolve around the validity of transgender identity.

The subheadline on this NYT piece is going to turn me into the Joker.

Like... this... is exactly what trans people have been saying was going to happen for years.

Kansas law now allows Toilet Boba Fett freaks to personally sue trans people for simply using the toilet. Imagine how small and pathetic a person would have to be to even consider doing this. #TransRights #ProtectTransKids

Concerned about ICE's $45 billion plan to convert warehouses into immigration detention centers? This is what they'll look like inside. From ICE's plan for the Social Circle, GA facility. Each little dot: a person. www.socialcirclega.gov/home/showpub...

The thing is: There’s never the β€œdata person” who writes _one_ article about how trans girls in sports are unpopular or whatever. No, it’s always ten, in a row, back to back, like it’s the only political phenomenon for which data exists. Very strange, raises some questions, just saying

It took 250 years but British people are now more protected from tyrannical monarchy than Americans are. We've come full circle.

University of Michigan did similar shit back in August. And parents STILL can't get answers about whether their children's medical records were sent to the DOJ.

I lost my job, my kids have measles, and I can't afford steak. But at least now I know that they are defunding diversity programs at companies and schools that I have never heard of.

ICE Walkouts Teach Our Children the Wrong Lessons - Michigan Enjoyer Instead of a traditional American education, we're teaching our children to latch on to social causes

Right on cue, here's The Dumbest Person in Ann Arbor, co-leader of Reasonable Return, with some bullshit. enjoyer.com/ice-walkouts...

The Urgency of Normal (or in Ann Arbor, Reasonable Return) people were comfortable teaming up with MAGA. Not one of them has apologized for aligning with Moms for Liberty types. And now that children are under attack? Crickets.

I think the pancakes in question are closer to what we would call crepes or Swedish pancakes, so the lemon and sugar makes some sense.

How does it even work, though? The shelf tag shows you a customized price but how does the register at the front know? Or are they going to make people scan as they go?
