It’s been overshadowed by Venezuela and especially Iran, but the deadly boat bombing campaign is still going, even though:

The national media is eating up this report as justification for perpetuating the lie that universities themselves - as opposed to decades of attacks from the far right authoritarian party - are responsible for eroding trust in higher education. You can almost hear them salivating at the chance.
I really don't know what to tell folks if they think any of these proposed reforms from Yale, or anything that we can possibly do here at UW - Madison, will change the Narrative™️ from the right in American politics about universities. We're a century into this stuff. We're not the problem.
Good.

Dr Martin was my PhD advisor at USF.
He and his wife, Mrs. Barbara B. Martin created a lab environment so safe, nurturing, and professional, that it allowed graduate students from all backgrounds to thrive. They changed my life and I owe them a debt that can only be paid by helping others.
Once again, it is really important to make clear that inflation was closer to target in November 2024 than it had been for 85% of the months since we've had a formal inflation target. High inflation was <over> under Biden, & 2026 inflation is not because of his policies.

A tragedy. A wonderful college that offered something different and life-changing to its students. Meanwhile, donors give millions to the University of Austin.
CHICAGO POPE, WEAK ON CRIME

Again, I'll note how incredibly extreme the GOP is, not only in absolute terms, but relative to other far right parties in rich democracies, which quickly concede elections <all the time> w/o a fraction of the post-election nonsense we endure.
Hooooly
historic rejection of JD Vance
i am not saying this out of a sense of malice or to give this poster a hard time. but i do think we should consider posting predictive market data about news events to be the same kind of tide-lowering slop as posting generative ai
without disco there’d be no house music, and without that no Detroit techno and no raves. raving and techno are both Black creations, and it all traces back to disco.
As little as I already thought of the man I'm in awe of what he's accomplished in 15 short months. Historic run. Basically threw away all his fire extinguishers and told every firefighter in town to eat shit, and then set his house on fire. We need a separate Mount Rushmore for morons
