Congresswoman To Introduce Articles Of Impeachment Against Pete Hegseth

Rep. Yassamin Ansari (D-Ariz.) is introducing articles of impeachment against Pete Hegseth over his role as “a chief enabler of this illegal war” in Iran. www.huffpost.com/entry/latest...

Sad to see all these opinion pieces this week from authors arguing in favour of using AI to write books, all of them falling into the "it's inevitable" and "everyone is doing it" trap but simply revealing that they are lazy and lack integrity.
If you don't want to write a book, you don't have to.

i don't much like platner for the same reason i have rapidly come to dislike annie andrews and the same reason i don't like newsom — values matter, and throwing out homophobic or misogynistic or transphobic "jokes" display contempt for the values the overwhelming majority of party voters live by

NYU Faculty Union Reaches Agreement to End Strike After walking out on Monday, members returned to work on Wednesday ahead of voting on a deal that would secure raises and better job security.

Striking faculty returned to work Wednesday having won “the highest minimum salaries of any unionized full-time, non-tenure track faculty in the country,” Brendan Hogan, a philosophy professor and spokesperson for Contract Faculty United-UAW, said in a statement.

Anti-tenure bill would hand political win to lame-duck Stitt | Opinion SB 1782 doesn't solve higher education's problems. It restricts tenure tracks, hands a political win to Gov. Kevin Stitt, who has unfinished business.

“Removing tenure protection does not make universities more accountable to students or taxpayers. It makes faculty more vulnerable to political interference. For anyone who has watched what politically motivated meddling does to institutions, that should not be a selling point.”

People on awards shows don't "make it political." The world is political. Our lives are political. Our choices are political. The only decision is whether to acknowledge it.

If you didn't catch the names in PTA's speech, the 1975 Best Picture nominees are Barry Lyndon, Dog Day Afternoon, Jaws, Nashville, and One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. There are no skips; there is no wrong place to start. They will make you love American movies anew, and demand the best from them.

NEWS: The Trump administration confirmed it bombed a girl’s school in Iran.

It's one of the most devastating military errors in decades.

Trump lied about it. Pete Hegseth gutted the office preventing civilian casualties.

175 are dead. Most were kids. Hegseth should be fired.

We could all have a pretty great Tribute to Screenwriters Who Just Died triple-feature weekend and watch Bullitt, The Thomas Crown Affair, and The Candidate. Nobody would regret a minute of it.

RIP Alan Trustman and Jeremy Larner.

Jessie Buckley Walked Back Her Divisive Comments On Cats After Backlash, But People Aren’t Buying It “I woke up this morning to the world thinking that I really don’t love cats,” said Jessie, who stated during a recent podcast appearance: “I don’t like cats.”

Gotta love the run up to the close of Oscar voting (March 5th).

Pouring one out for the ghosts of Louise Brooks, Billy Wilder, and every gorgeous chorine in every fab Warner Brothers pre-code musical, you and so many others built studios that don't deserve your legacy.

I just watched The Devil is Busy, one of the Oscar-nominated doc shorts--an extraordinary portrait of a woman who runs security at a women's healthcare clinic in Atlanta.

A hugely worthy film on HBO Max. If Paramount gets WBD, can't imagine it being given this showcase. If Netflix does, I can.

Thank God for Virginia Giuffre. She deserves so much credit for her bravery and tenacity. She, along with other survivors who refused to be quiet, made this happen.

Trump administration fails to indict Democrats involved in 'illegal orders' video President Donald Trump had accused six Democratic lawmakers of "seditious behavior" after they urged members of the military and intelligence communities to refuse unlawful orders.

Yet another epic failed indictment by U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro. You just can’t fool citizens on a grand jury with MAGA propaganda. Why doesn’t DOJ stop embarrassing itself with political vendettas and actually investigate the Epstein ring?

That is the most important piece, because the frictionless relationship that you have with the bot is fundamentally changing something in what we can tolerate in terms of experimentation, experience with the unknown, tolerance of uncertainty, conflict management — stuff that is part of relationships.

This, from Esther Perel on relationships is what I worry about in writing as well: figuring out what you think on the page requires that tolerance for experimenting, for uncertainty, for being wrong. Bringing in the bot for "brainstorming" or "filling the blank page" means not developing that /1

Jeff Bezos destroyed the Washington Post because he couldn't admit that he didn't know how to run a newspaper, and also because he felt entitled to turn it into his personal plaything. Both are functions of his ego, his greed, his heedlessness, and his insecurity. What a dark day.

happening this morning in Minneapolis -- ICE agents drawing guns on observers. I reiterate again that it is only a matter of time before DHS kills more innocent people in Minnesota. Congress needs to shut this shit down right now.

quote from Haruki Murakami: “I keep to this routine every day without variation. The repetition itself becomes the important thing; it’s a form of mesmerism. I mesmerize myself to reach a deeper state of mind. “But to hold to such repetition for so long—six months to a year—requires a good amount of mental and physical strength. In that sense, writing a long novel is like survival training. Physical strength is as necessary as artistic sensitivity.”

Not pictured: Haruki Murakami’s wife, or indeed whoever is cooking, cleaning, paying bills, running errands, doing the laundry, answering emails, etc

like yea his routine is goals, but let’s not lie to ourselves about all the invisible work others are doing to enable him to have that routine
