It’s so embarrassing to be Jewish in 2025. The public crashouts, the self-pitying, how so many of the nation state fetishists are so goddamned /brittle/ and lose their entire shit over honest reporting of the facts on the ground, it’s MORTIFYING.

If Vinay Prasad has no haters I am dead.

It’s giving Looney Tunes.

Do you know any stories about someone who did a drug and then fundamentally transformed their focus in life and became a better person? Who started showing up for other people in a way that they hadn’t before? Because there’s no shortage of Israelis doing ayahuasca.

Me (crying): Please...I just need to message my coworkers

Microsoft Teams Developers: No you don't. You want a Bunch of Bullshit that also changes week-to-week for some reason

unironically: the realization that being a "fake man" was an option in my early twenties was among the most personally rewarding decisions I've ever made. highly recommend

This hurts my heart

It deeply pains me to see someone who wrote so eloquently on denialism, that influenced my understanding on how people can engage in the denial of history and science, deny the history being made before her very eyes.

She is lighting her life's work on fire.

Cory Booker and RuPaul are cousins?? And somehow Booker is the one with better politics?!

I think that Usha is on some Frank Underwood shit.

I’ve been thinking a lot about the first chapter of the 3 body problem. At the time I thought, “I’m so glad to live in a place where that kind of thing wouldn’t happen.” Not a lot surprises me, but I’m flabbergasted that I was wrong.

She deserves so much better than this. Stephens isn’t even smart enough to be embarrassed.

Opinion | ‘It Is Facing a Campaign of Annihilation’: Three Columnists on Trump’s War Against Academia What went wrong for higher education?

Reading Tressie McMillan Cottom debate Bret Stephens on higher education is like watching Steph Curry play H.O.R.S.E. against a barely-sentient lump of gravel.

What I don’t get about these toxic dudes with massive followings of young men is that they seem so utterly miserable. I don’t think Benny Shaps has ever experienced a moment of joy. Tate thinks that eating good food is gay. What do they have that anyone would want besides YouTube money?

You had different dreams for yourself than having to meet this shit historical moment.

I did too. I did too.

I saw 4-5 corgis on a 15 minute walk.

I am not doing a good job of not letting it get to me.

Professor who teaches African American studies here. If your school eliminates or bans it, I will personally host free zoom sessions, provide resources, or answer questions for students, parents/guardians, or teachers who are interested in learning or discussing African American studies.

There is a certain kind of very smart doctor who thinks that they are also a good writer and it bums me out every time.

Elsewhere, a worker at an intelligence agency says that unidentified outside staffers arrived to sweep the office of anything they felt was related to DEI. That included a plaque, confiscated from a supervisor’s desk, which read, “Be kind to everyone.”

I have been thinking about this a lot.

so wait who's braver again, someone who goes out with body armor and guns and handcuffs and batons and legal authority to kill when they get scared and infinite backup on demand

or a trans person who goes out into a world where people hate them wearing a cute dress and armed with a darling clutch

I think Americans, blessed with relatively stable government for a long time, assume there is someone, some adult, who will step in and make things right before the President does anything REALLY bad.

There’s not.

😂😭

That's exactly it, last night I said liberals view a fascist takeover as an opportunity to do goofy Handmaids Tale cosplay and have their melodramatic, self-indulgent Main Character Moment where they can FEEL like they're nobly staring down tyranny while DOING less than nothing
