Great question.

Don’t know. They’re doing an investigation. He’s probably getting paid until the investigation is complete.

The Yale Professor Who E-mailed Epstein About a “Small Goodlooking Blonde” Student Is No Longer Teaching After outcry from students over e-mails showing David Gelernter’s relationship with Jeffrey Epstein, the computer science professor is under review by the university.

A vibrant, wide-angle photo of a colorful outdoor mural promoting the "Super Bowl LX Apple Music Halftime Show." The mural is painted on a long blue wall in a sunlit, tropical setting with real palm trees and bright pink bougainvillea flowers cascading over the top. The artwork features a playful, surreal collage of cultural and football-themed elements: Central Text: The Apple Music logo in bold yellow and red 3D lettering is flanked by "SUPER BOWL LX" above and "HALFTIME SHOW" below. Iconic Imagery: Large illustrations of a golden trumpet, pink sunglasses, maracas, dominoes, and a cup of coffee with a musical note in the foam. Football Elements: Brown footballs are depicted growing on palm trees like coconuts and resting on the ground. Foreground: A young girl in a yellow dress walks along the sidewalk in front of the mural, passing a small goalpost illustration where a green parrot is perched. The overall aesthetic is warm, festive, and celebrates a fusion of Latin-inspired culture and American football.

I'm going to do a thread of all the references and context behind Bad Bunny's performance and what it means for Puerto Ricans to see this on the biggest stage.

The opening title screen is a street mural in Puerto Rico that comes to life with footballs as coconuts.

Here's the plan:

- Glut the market and depress prices
- Billionaires and major corporations will be able to pick up assets for minimal $
- Consolidate ownership so that as the market recovers, they will make windfall profits and raise rents higher than ever

This is like a bank robber getting to fire the cops and disable the alarms just before he strolls into the bank lobby.

You’ve got a nasty rotator cuff injury. But you’re asleep and you dream that you have full range of motion.

Putin defenestrates his political opponents.

Trump is defenestrating the institutions and norms of our democracy.

That 0 GOP AGs are joining, despite the fact that this freeze hurts their constituents the most, speaks to how MAGA is 100% a cult.

She's the best. I hope to vote for her for higher office in the not-too-distant future.

Ugh, though that's encouraging about the lawsuits. Thank goodness for the ACLU, the Southern Poverty Law Center, and similar organizations. We won't be getting much help from the major media, but these activist organizations and independent media will step up, I'm sure.

With Trump's actions today, is there any daylight between him and Project 2025 so far?
