Color cover art for some Spider-Man comic. Multiversity stuff I think. Who can say. MJ, Peter, and Gwen.
Shreveport. What words are there for something like this. I am trying to tally the number of Black women and children shot at or killed in the last week because a man couldn’t handle that his intimate access to the woman was being ended. It’s too many.
Something good: A PhD student in our Department, Stacy Godfreey-Igwe was awarded a Paul and Daisy Fellowship for New Americans. pdsoros.org/fellows/stac...
by this definition, aprtheid south africa — which had elections that the ruling party could at least in theory lose — was not an authoritarian state either
I suspect the Pope sounds "woke" to many Christian conservatives because the US is steeped in prosperity theology, where the point of worship is to deliver health and wealth to believers. Thus, "feed the hungry" and "show mercy for the poor" sounds needlessly political and "woke."
This woman is a handpicked Trump supporter from Arkansas and she is less anti-trans than the median Atlantic columnist
Viktor Orban accomplished so much of what the Trump movement wants to accomplish here
he ruled for 16 years and rewrote the rules in his favor
and still, they threw him out
and you know what? they did it by voting
don’t let anyone tell you voting doesn’t matter
😬
Orbán turns out to be more of a democrat than the U.S. president and a nontrivial number of GOP candidates.
Complete aura loss
I just think it's also important to, like, remember how, how bad it was like, as someone said to me recently, like, I don't know whether we'll call this trauma with a capital T or trauma with a lowercase t, but it definitely like it was to have everyone crying in the office all the time. People had so much anxiety that we would kind of like have to take turns working for. The last few months I was there to be like, All right, you can't handle Today. Today. I'm okay. I can handle today, but you might have to handle tomorrow for me, because I might not be able to handle tomorrow. Like, I've never seen such a thing. You know, one of our younger designers had asked, because it was their first job out of grad school. Like, is this what it's like in the private sector too? Because this is so terrible. And someone's response who worked in the private sector was that, no, like, I've been terrible places, like I've worked at Amazon, I've worked other places where they didn't care about us, but we never felt like our leadership hated us just for existing. And that's what those months felt like, like, not our direct leadership, but anyone above that, and especially the highest levels, just hated us for existing, and that was really hard when, like our we had committed our careers to serving the citizens public.
Coding interviews of technologists who were purged from government under DOGE, and the sense of trauma is really palpable. Compared to the private sector orgs like Amazon, the jobs meant more and the way they were treated was way worse.
It "felt like our leadership hated us just for existing."
I have voted twice to advance articles of impeachment. We cannot wait. Congress must convene immediately and begin proceedings to remove this man from office for the safety of our nation, Americans, and the world.
A table of corrupt warmongers and their pals (Jared Kushner, Ivanka Trump and Jay-Z)
Jay-Z and Beyoncé are clearly capitalists. More importantly they keep company with warmongers. Fuck all of these people.

I love @bomani-jones.bsky.social perspective on Tiger Woods. It is empathetic and humane.

also don’t let spencer cox’s PR team fool you into thinking that he is anything other than a reactionary
the trump administration is selling this country wholesale to rapacious, extractive industries that will destroy our collective resources for private profit morethanjustparks.substack.com/p/breaking-t...
This is going to open the door for all kinds of medical quackery.

R1 Universities need to change tenure standards. The funding climate has drastically changed we cannot continue to hold assistant professors to unrealistic expectations.
Maybe the presidents & chancellors of elite R1 research universities could have found time to get on TV & in public, at some point in the last year, to collectively speak out against the existential threat to social science research on their campuses posed by these & other federal budget cuts 🧐😢🤷♂️
drake meme with his face replaced by the new york times logo the new drake times are not interested in "millions of people worldwide joining together in 3000+ protests for the third time in less than a year" drake loves "three guys in a diner"
Absurd.
Why are they armed?
A new whistleblower report alleges that a former DOGE engineer told co-workers at his new job that that he “previously had unrestricted ‘God-level’ access to the SSA’s systems” & that he possessed copies of SSA’s “Numident” & “Master Death” files, which he planned to use at his new job. 3/10/26…1/
