Wow:

More Corruption from the felon.

What's the address for my formal complaints?

The problem with being an atheist is there's no one to file a formal complaint about, you know, the state of existence and whatnot

Tesla saved $400 million on its federal taxes by shifting billions of its U.S. profits to countries with lower tax rates.

Yes: While you paid your taxes in full, giant corporations maneuvered to pay as little as possible — and it’s all perfectly legal for them.

The system is rigged.

Meta just paid the lowest effective federal tax rate in its history.

Thanks to tax breaks and loopholes, it avoided $13.7B in 2025 federal income taxes.

But now it's planning to lay off 10% of its global workforce (8,000 people) by May 20 — with more job cuts later this year.

Trickle down hoax.

Where U.S. science has been hit hardest after Trump’s first year The Trump administration has slashed the number of grants from the National Institutes of Health, with far fewer focused on women, cancer and mental health.

Feels kinda silly to say that rich people from the center to left of things politically can’t build a successful media environment when the onion is doing it basically using donations from semi-employed forum goblins

This illustrates the need for broad and comprehensive reforms with money in politics. We need an international “No Dictators Day” before he steps up his attack on the nation he was supposed to govern, not humiliate. 😱🤬

This man is our nation’s enemy. He must be impeached. The world is watching.. 🤺🇺🇸

LOL!

This woman is a genius! In the parody of democracy that Germany has become, you get arrested if you say "From the River to the Sea."

So this pro-Palestine protester asks if it is ok to say "From the River to the Beach" 😂😂😂😂

This is a scene straight out of Kafka...

I need a job and ideally a permanent one someday so I won't give specifics but it's HIGHLY tempting to name and shame. I know that academia is competitive but if you preach diversity and inclusion and only pay enough to barely survive or that only the wealthy can afford to apply, you're failing

There should be a law passed, and enforced, that we will no longer have for profit prisons of any kind! Ever again! Incentivized incarceration should be a crime against humanity and should be retroactively enforced! They know what they are doing is wrong!

I need more colleges to be absolutely ashamed of paying anyone with a PhD less than $60k a year for teaching 4 or more classes.

This means yes, you need to be paying your visitors and adjuncts as least $60k and if you can't or won't, you either shouldn't be open or you should be ashamed

I don’t think we talk nearly enough about the fact that corporations like Amazon, don’t pay a single cent to maintain the roads they use, the transportation system they use, the courts they use, they pay nothing for the infrastructure that is absolutely critical to their business.

WE Pay for

Haha 🤣

Outside of what's on the slides, I encourage my students to use what they learn about animals, people, and other cultures to become more empathetic, caring, and compassionate humans.

While Western culture has made education about money and a piece of paper, I still believe it can be much more

OpenAI: We’re burning money like the Joker. A miracle needs to happen for us to turn a profit

Microsoft: Please please use our AI systems, we’re teetering on the edge here

Anthropic: I wonder what’ll kill us first: lawsuits, regulations or model collapse

Media and universities: AI is here to stay

Families left reeling after hospitals in blue states drop transgender care for youth Massachusetts passed laws and joined lawsuits to protect access to gender-affirming care for minors. But faced with the Trump administration's threats, some hospitals voluntarily stopped care.

Science literacy rates are at an all time low

Since Trump has trouble distinguishing what someone in the medical profession looks like, here is a picture of a lifesaving professional.

A screenshot of a Hollywood Reporter politics news article. The headline reads, "Dave Chappelle Knocks Republican Party for “Weaponized” Transgender Jokes: “That’s Not What I Was Doing”" The subheadline states, "After being called out for transphobic jokes, the superstar comedian told NPR that Lauren Boebert and other Republicans are politicizing his humor." Below the text is a photo of Chappelle in a black tuxedo speaking at a podium, with a caption noting he is accepting the President's Award at the 2025 NAACP Image Awards.

No, that's exactly what Chappelle was doing and it's why trans people criticized him for doing it.

Power outage in my area but The Void and I are having fun with it 💜🐈‍⬛ #catsofbluesky

This weekend I gave a presentation to a group of mostly college-aged folks and had a little line at the beginning of my slides that described it as an "AI-free presentation made by a human, for humans" and I had to pause for clapping at that part

you love to see it

Exactly 💯

She reportedly parted ways with Bezos with a jaw-dropping $38.3 billion in Amazon stock. Their divorce settlement included a 4 % stake in the online retail giant or 19.7 million shares. Under the agreement, Bezos kept 75% of the couple's Amazon stock, along with voting control of her shares. Jan 11, 2023

MacKenzie Scott has given away over $19 billion in the last 5 years and experts say she's 'changed entire fie... MacKenzie Scott acknowledged another $2 billion in donations as 2024 comes to a close.

MacKenzie Scott, worth $41.1 billion, is on a philanthropic tear and has donated an estimated 46% of her net worth.

Just to give a sense of the insane scale of billions of dollars…MacKenzie Scott got about $38 billion after divorcing Bezos in 2019. She has become the world’s most generous philanthropist, giving away over $19 billion…and she’s currently wealthier than she started.

Just. Tax. Them.

It’s infuriating when a woman comes forward about a man raping her in his hotel room after drinking and the response is “Why would she go to his room?” “Why would she drink with him?” This is Mike Pence logic. Women should be allowed to hang out with men without expecting they will be raped.

Having taught at Hampshire College back in 2023, it's sad to see it go under. I feel bad for the employees and students and particularly the new tenure track faculty they hired 2 years ago who may not have known how bad the situation was when they got hired

OpenAI investors question the company’s $852 billion valuation as its strategy shifts, FT reports.

The effective federal corporate income tax rate:

1950: 50%
1990: 25%
2020: 13%

Stop asking "but how we will pay for it?" Restore the corporate tax rate.

That is how we will pay for it.
