I wish we as a society had our priorities straight.

Totally normal president here. I’m sure it’s fine.

Absolutely insane that a college football coach can get paid $50 million to just…go away.

Universities and their athletic boosters have lost their minds.

Not just a terrible leader. Turns out the President Deals is really bad at making deals.

Honestly at this point, could anyone tell the difference? Republicans in Congress have completely abdicated every one of their constitutional duties, and the executive branch is operating as a quasi-dictatorship with the blessing of SCOTUS

Currently at an XC meet in the middle of Portland. Not a fire in sight. No riots anywhere. No buildings made of plywood.

Maybe he’s talking about a different Portland?

Inside billionaire Peter Thiel’s private lectures: Warnings of β€˜the Antichrist’ and U.S. destruction In leaked recordings of private lectures by tech billionaire Peter Thiel he argued that β€œthe Antichrist” is likely to take the form of a critic of technology.

Probably not a great thing that a billionaire that essentially bought the VP is calling critics of AI "legionaries of the antichrist" and ranting about apocalyptic views that are pretty extreme even by typical "christian nationalist" standards 😬

Historians argue that Trump indicting his enemies one-by-one rather than having them murdered in a single night proves he’s not a fascist.

Someone like JD Vance, who has been on the receiving end of a lot of insinuations, should know to couch his language more carefully.

Anyways, I’ll be here, ready to make a deal to save Americans’ health care and reopen the federal government that Republicans shut down.

I stressed to the grad students that they have to take ownership of their research. I’ll advise but they have to be willing to try, fail, take critique, and try again. That’s the game students.

Are we sure we aren’t just being trolled at this point? Like, maybe this is some Andy Kauffman-esqe performance art that is seeing how far it can go?

Yes. This is definitely how you do science properly. You β€œmake the proof” to support your pre-conclusions
