FB for me is old friends and harp news. Might be a music thing. But I honestly have not looked for #HarpSky!

AOC talking to RFK Jr. Her facial and hand gesture has the spiritual energy of that Italian hand gesture where you pinch your fingers and wave your hand (the "ma che vuo" gesture).

“I Have Lost Everything”: The Toll of Cities’ Homeless Sweeps Cities often take belongings — including important documents and irreplaceable mementos — when they conduct sweeps of homeless encampments. ProPublica gave notecards to people across the country so th...

We asked people who lived in homeless encampments that were cleared out in city “sweeps” to write about what object was the hardest for them to lose.

“They took my baby pictures and my moms obituaries,” a man in California wrote.

Choked on my tea that I was sipping while considering napalm for my English Ivy that a bone fide landscape architect charged me to plant before I knew anything about gardening.

My favorite bad academic UI is when journals have an institutional login menu that is just a dropdown with like every university in the world.

Newly released records detail police response to lawmaker attacks Authorities first identified Vance Boelter as a suspect within three hours of the start of the politically motivated rampage.

Newly released records on the police response to the assassination of Melissa Hortman show officers knew a woman was lying motionless on the top of the stairs inside the Hortman home but waited 30 minutes to physically check on her.

Early-career econ and you could do a lot better with a little money, but tried everything unsucessfully? Take a look!

Got some spare change with nothing useful to do with it and you care about early-career econs? Take a look!

The surprising origin of 4 features that superglue kids — and adults — to screens Taken together, these four features can create a trancelike state that can keep us stuck on social media apps or video games for hours. Children are particularly vulnerable.

As a matter of principle, you can either have a dinner that celebrates the First Amendment or you can have a dinner that features Donald Trump. You can’t have both because the president holds the freedom of the press in contempt. www.mediamatters.org/donald-trump...

thank you, wife

These are the posts your senile uncle with deep religious psychosis posts on Facebook, not the President of the United States. trib.al/LfN4mWm

The Trump administration is facing serious pushback over its destruction of the U.S. Forest Service and the outdoor industry is answering the call.

I thought this shit sounded familiar!

Women are getting most of the new jobs. What's going on with men? Over the past year, the vast majority of new jobs have gone to women. One economist says to help men find work, we need to embrace ways to "make girly jobs appeal to manly men."

Okay this isn’t really happening anymore so I can tell you how l had “internal ICE sources”: the 3000 very stir-crazy ICE agents were all going wild on Minneapolis Tinder. Local girls would match with them and string them along for intel. They loved to brag about what they were doing all day

Melania Trump wants these photos and emails to be scrubbed from the Internet. Please stop liking and sharing them. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

NYT: US Fertility Rates Drop to Another Record Low The fertility rate has been falling since 2007, in large part because of a plunge among teenagers

There are some clues in the age breakdown: The fertility rate for teenagers dropped by 7 percent from 2024’s figure, setting another record low for the group. Since 2007, the rate for teenagers is down by 72 percent, and since 1991, when teenage fertility rates were at a high, the rate is down by 81 percent.

Why I don't trust anyone a little too obsessed about falling fertility rates

Grift all the way down

Impeach him just for this.

How it feels doing literally any task right now.

The White House Correspondents Association is planning to "honor" Trump at its dinner three weeks from now.

No way.

It was egregious before. Now it's obscene.

😂

Wondering how much AI is giving folks a free pass to poop out midway on less-than-compelling writing. I have graded a lot of papers in my day, and the desire to “slide off” midway has been robust in every chapter of technological change… At least now, verbs are conjugated mostly correctly.

I know the tweet is Al generated when they use " ," before and.

“I will NOT sacrifice the Oxford comma. We've made too many compromises already; too many retreats. They assimilate the em dash and we fall back. They capture ‘not just X but y’ and we fall back. Not again. The line must be drawn here! This far, no further!”

A tweet by DHS with a painting of Jesus on the crucifix Luke 23:46 On this solemn day, we reflect on the ultimate sacrifice our Savior made for all humanity. Trust in God's plan. The verse is printed over the painting, with a cross icon directly over Jesus’s crotch: “FATHER INTO THY HANDS I COMMEND MY SPIRIT”

this is weird

So on the same day that BLS reported the lowest household survey response rate on record, the White House is proposing further budget cuts. Pretty much every economist that I've talked to says that we should be investing more money in the statistical system right now, not less.

among the problems here...who counts as being Jewish? is it self ID? can people opt out? if peopel refuse to answer questions, are they punished by school or govt? are you going to have uni and fed officials combing people's geneologies or social media posts? 1

that's right

Social movement scholar here again. So, why protest?

Nihilists were out yesterday arguing that "protests don't do anything."
