Contrarians have been itching to burn the house down because this is their version of grievance politics. Once you realize this is resentment politics in action, everything makes sense.

Congratulations

Pancreatic cancer mRNA vaccine shows lasting results in an early trial Scientists caution that more research is needed, but nearly all of the patients who responded to the personalized vaccine are still alive six years later.

I will erase you from my memories and my entire existence if I learn that you travel without a sufficient number of cleaned undergarments.

And for the record you should always pack an extra pair!

A point of frustration, and I only want #Blacksky commenters to engage:

On Tiktok and IG, the number of folk with our 4b and 4c hair who are normalizing not washing it for months needs to STOP. You cannot talk about who doesn't wash their legs when we are doing this.

Max for 4bc hair: 2-3 weeks.

The rationale for their elimination is not particularly compelling. Eliminating degrees does not remove courses nor close departments. bsky.app/profile/mmla...

Sad. I double majored in history and French with a minor in art history. I went on to get an MBA. While some may think that my university majors were impractical, I have used them almost every day of my life, and they’ve enriched how I see the world. I wouldn’t trade it for anything.

I do not care what side of the political spectrum you are on. Getting those bags off the street is a momentous accomplishment.

The Harvard FAS $350 million depreciation debacle is another example….

There's also a kind of intentional myopia in focusing just on higher ed when diagnosing "declining trust." Only one of these explanations also has something to say about why there's simultaneously declining trust in elections, public health authorities, etc, in the same spaces over the same period

Additional brilliance: you get to see how many people view themselves as having a great deal in common with folks wealthy enough to have $5 million second/third/fourth homes.

Ohio's public universities are eliminating nearly 90 degree programs as a result of Senate Bill 1 • Ohio Capital Journal Nearly 90 degree programs have been identified to be cut at Ohio’s public universities since Senate Bill 1 was signed into law a year ago.

If you think legislation that targets “low enrollment degrees” only impacts the humanities please look at this list. Degrees in chemistry, math, physics, political science, data analytics, psychology and economics are being eliminated. ohiocapitaljournal.com/2026/04/16/o...

When the expanded CTC expired in 2022, each $1,000 in lost benefits reduced consumer sentiment by 1.7 points—with effects lasting nearly two years—long after the checks stopped, from @jacobbastian.bsky.social and Melody Harvey www.nber.org/papers/w35059

Referring to The Ohio State University as “a football school” by @nytimes.com is a choice. It can be difficult to get past such narratives, but Ohio State is actually a top tier, highly selective research university. Perhaps is we educated only the wealthy elite it’d be a different story.

Happy Tax Day, New York. We’re taxing the rich.

Truly remarkable how many people have told the Pope, in some way or another, to "shut up and dribble." Or corrected him on the Bible, despite their thin education on theology. Or told him to stay out of US affairs, despite him being a US citizen. The hubris is amazing.

Simultaneously declaring walkouts illegal but allowing organizations to ban students from leadership positions due to their “lifestyle” is quite a statement.

Leave. Those. Bees. Alone.

This is exactly how those catastrophe movies start…

I study racism for a living and can still manage to be shocked by how institutionalized it is. What do you mean they were giving tax-breaks to white supremacists celebrating treason?

just a wild country

PLEASE HELP! I need to find a baker in the Twin Cities who can make a five layer purple ombré cake.

Why aren’t we talking about grade inflation in graduate school?!? Why is everyone passing their final dissertation defense?!?

I never want to hear anything about message discipline again…

this is legitimately fascinating as an a real life demonstration of why trump is flailing

Swalwell has announced his resignation from Congress. It’s impossible not to ask why Texas Republican Tony Gonzales hasn’t done the same. And why the GOP doesn’t insist the Epstein files, which repeatedly mention the head of their party, be fully released.
