Texas A&M claims it has “seamlessly completed” its Spring 2026 course review. That statement is false.

Multiple courses addressing race, gender, and sexuality are still under review with faculty facing pressured to censor well into the semester.

Texans deserve the truth, not spin.

This is a disaster for higher education in Texas.

It’s a sign of the times, but 1980s me is outraged that I’ve followed Bill Kristol.

Growing up, almond Rivas was what we called cat poop in the litter box. A puppy favorite. So, definitely more than a litter box amount. 🤣

This quotation from the end of the article (Roberts at his confirmation hearing) is both damning and telling. The U.S. constitution wasn’t written by or for the poor.

Headline from New York Times about corruption in Ukraine.

Headline from New York Times about corruption in Ukraine.

So let me get this straight @nytimes.com, you can produce front pages stories about corruption in the Ukrainian government but you’ve got nothing on the massive corruption happening in the U.S. government?

Obviously not. Maybe they’re thinking that people in uniform have ‘donned the colors?’

The logic of algorithms tends to repeat what “works,” but art opens up what is possible. Not everything has to be immediate or predictable. Defend slowness when it serves a purpose, silence when it speaks and difference when evocative. Beauty is not just a means of escape; it is, above all, an invocation. When cinema is authentic, it does not merely console but challenges. It articulates the questions that dwell within us and sometimes even provokes tears that we did not know we needed to express.

Pope Leo XIV understands technology and its relationship to art better any executive or AI-pilled techbro running the conference circuit.
