This is just a note to say
that I have eaten the falcon
in a widening gyre
and that you were probably saving for anarchy
Forgive me
it was delicious
so rough
and full of passionate intensity
It does feel meaningful to be teaching history right now. We do what we can.
As long as I live I will have control over my being"

The authoritarian police state has arrived in America. It's hard to believe that people whose parents, grandparents, and great-grandparents fought and died to prevent this from happening have willingly voted it in.
This could be an AfD ad
devastating and enraging on every level
I just don't understand this. George W Bush, Barack Obama, and Bono just recorded videos commending the staff of USAID for their work and lamenting the agency's destruction...
And those videos were not released to the public.
Priscilla Chan’s decision to stop funding the school she opened to help struggling families shows the risks for communities reliant on wealthy private donors.
The radicalization of the American right is THE story of US politics over the last four decades and political reporters are still not allowed to talk about it

This is like World War II if both sides were Germany
I think this is such a major driver of AI use in university assessments. And also just a real… disconnection between why we think students are here (to learn about history!) and why students think they are here (to get good grades, to get a job)
FOR A STUDENT WHO USED AI TO WRITE A PAPER Now I let it fall back in the grasses. I hear you. I know this life is hard now. I know your days are precious on this earth. But what are you trying to be free of? The living? The miraculous task of it? Love is for the ones who love the work. -Joseph Fasano
I don’t know. I love this Joseph Fasano poem and have it pinned on my office door but I don’t know what to actually do about any of this.
A memorial and jazz funeral honored 19 Black Americans, whose remains were recently repatriated from Germany where they were used for racial research in the late 1800s.
been saying this for like 3 years now, the core constituency of the "manosphere" is not Gen Z or teenage boys, it is 35-55 year old dudes who wish they were still teenage boys
Enjoyed listening to this podcast about a tall, fat, vain leader who betrayed everyone, blamed others for his failures, manipulated the media, facilitated the rise of the far right, and listened to the advice of a notably stupid son.

I liked ep 1 but not obsessed yet but I do wanna see more. I can tell it’s gonna take a few episodes to establish the show and that’s fine! I have heard such good things about S2 recently. @musicattheclose.bsky.social agrees I think!
We just started S1!! Gonna catch up !
I have a feeling this is the case for a vast range of political issues that are just trickier to measure than migrant flows.
Trump just made it up to 98% more expensive to have a baby. Trump's baby tax is here.
the new york sewer rats have finally elected a new rat pope
Fuck this shit.
The hysteria when you say, “nah I’m good” on all the chat bots is how you know they’re in the grips of roulette fever. You know the guy at a casino, shaking at 2 am, telling you how dumb you are not to get in on this?
And there you have it.
