I can't stop thinking about 1 sentence in today's UN report regarding Israel's genocide in Gaza. "Israeli security forces shot at & killed civilians, including children who were holding makeshift white flags. Some children, including toddlers, were shot in the head by snipers.”

Nothing to add.

I am so sorry :(

Right? I thought it was just me who saw it...

LOL for this and many other things...

If the sentiments on the t-shirts are accurate, I recommend some serious couple's therapy for incest and infidelity...or, alternatively, you can just read the wikipedia entry on Hera and Zeus and change your relationship goals 🤷‍♀️

Thank you!!!

Thrilled to share that my project, “Unequal Voices, Unequal Rules: Reimagining Democracy’s Boundaries,” has been funded by SSHRC! Grateful for the support and excited to work with students on investigating democracy’s hidden boundaries. Send me a message if you’d like to know more ☺️

They really do hate people…

I feel the same about my grandpa. He loved America and believed in it sincerely. He died a week after 2008 election. So glad he isn’t around for Trump.

AP’s dumb notification on how “a good shower is a simple shower”

This is not what I call breaking news for which I need a notification!

Trump to the President of Liberia: "Such good English. Where did you learn to speak so beautifully?"

English is the official language of Liberia...

At least try and pass notes inconspicuously...this is no way to cheat on your "government" exam...

honestly, he puts Strom Thurmond to shame...he never married Carrie Butler...

FAST COMPANY Article: While retirement typically occurs, after completing a career and saving and investing for it, a new trend is emerging among Gen Z career professionals called "micro-retirement." Micro- retirements involve taking a one to two- week break from work every 12 to 18 months. Gen Z is using micro-retirement to avoid burnout, find greater fulfillment in their work, and enhance their overall well-being. However, it's not just Gen-Z:

'Vacations.'

The word is 'vacations.'

I see the WSJ Opinion pages are managing a wide variety of topics

In light of the news on my first day of sabbatical: gender is a social construct, trans women are women, no amount of complying with authoritarians who pretend they will only strip some people but not you of rights will keep you safe. And in 2025 university administrators should know all of that.

Doesn't he live in LA? I thought that was behind his love affair with Newsom a few years ago

So do I! What if one uses em-dashes and the word "delve"???

A refrigerator truck filled with body bags

What an unserious person. I will never be able to unsee the people suffocating in their own bodies because the virus melted their lungs. Whole families showing up together at the brink of death. Myself & my colleagues putting on garbage bags & months-old N95 to resuscitate them in hospital driveways

What is sad is that I actually do like and use the word "delve"...now I have to be aware of it and stop :(

I will be damned if I allow a bunch of Confederate-waving January 6th apologists give the American people a lecture on flag waving.

There is ZERO reason to enter an argument about patriotism with people who still worship traitors to America 150+ years later.

They. Are. Breaking. The. Law.

Ngl, I am confused by your confusion…I was making the point that Bannon’s argument for nationalizing Space X was one that had merit. Generally, I think the space program shouldn’t be run privately by a temperamental pseudo-genius manchild with reported substance abuse issues…

Same...

Bannon just said something very very similar...I am really having a hard time with the "worst person you know just made a good point" phenomenon in this stupid timeline...

As Aristotle taught us, there are four kinds of regime: aristocracy, democracy, kingship, and two rich blowhards with fragile egos.
