The real failure to look in the mirror is academics falling back on comfortable “we’re partly responsible because we enforced left wing orthodoxy“ thinking rather than the less comfortable truth that Trump/MAGA are bad faith actors who will only be satisfied with resegregated MAGA academies

being unc does not make you automatically uncool. it means that you're a community elder, and thus not privy to youth culture anymore. it can sting to be called unc by a younger person because you are being called old, but it is baseline respectful.

For the second year in a row, John Korir survived an unsteady start to win the Boston Marathon men’s division. He did so in a record Boston time of 2:01:52. buff.ly/hdXtxG2

He can save this “Vote Blue No Matter Who” nonsense for his next pointless 30 hour speech.

A tweet from Pope Leo XIV that reads: “When simulation becomes the norm, it weakens the human capacity for discernment. As a result, our social bonds close in upon themselves, forming self-referential circuits that no longer expose us to reality. We thus come to live within bubbles, impermeable to one another. Feeling threatened by anyone who is different, we grow unaccustomed to encounter and dialogue. In this way, polarization, conflict, fear and violence spread. What is at stake is not merely the risk of error, but a transformation in our very relationship with truth.”

Apparently the Pope has read Baudrillard.

Never thought my Alma mater would become a baseball school. Nice to have one decent baseball team in Boston this year!

Your guide to outdoor spring dining in New England As spring brings warm weather to New England, many locals are looking forward to spending time outdoors, and restaurants breaking out their outdoor dining tables to meet that desire.

For @wgbh.org: I joined Mark, Diego, and the gang to talk about spring/outdoor dining for when (if?) the weather starts to warm up in the Boston area and elsewhere in New England. www.wgbh.org/lifestyle/fo...

Lewd messages linked to University of Michigan regent who led campaign against pro-Palestinian students Jordan Acker, who pushed legal action against protesters, is running for re-election in race reflecting tensions on Israel

“Acker is known to be a confrontational, pro-Israel leader at the large public university. He…helped recruit the Michigan attorney general to bring highly unusual prosecutions against students…”

Quelle surprise.

MLK had a 63% *unfavorable* rating with Americans in a 1966 Gallup poll.

Nelson Mandela was legally considered a terrorist by the U.S. government until 2008 (!!).

People saying this shit almost certainly would have hated both and found a way to delegitimize their causes at the time!

Dems, I will take weeks off of work to go to a swing state and canvas for this man. CVH28.

For all of Platner’s problems (and there are quite a few), this is the singular reason centrists are feigning outrage over his candidacy.

It’s too late for shady foreign SuperPAC $ to save Mills, though.

Again, the people arguing that Platner is the next Fetterman have to contend with the fact that the braindead bigot is clearly going to endorse Collins.

Few people in history have been as proven correct as the students who protested against genocide.

Props to this young woman for fighting to get the right to free speech back.

Platner gets justified criticism for his Reddit days, but I’ve yet to hear a journalist ask Mills about the utterly unhinged things her press secretary posts on Twitter.

My most “conservative” opinion is that I like how Mamdani wears suits and doesn’t performatively swear.

Enya makes rare appearance at Clannad star sister Moya Brennan's funeral Moya Brennan's sister Enya, who has not been seen in public since 2017, shielded her eyes behind sunglasses at the funeral service

Moya Brennan has been remembered as the “First Lady of Celtic music” – with mourners told “she may be gone, but the voice will remain” as she was laid to rest in her native Co Donegal.

A needless loss for the U.S.

I’ll never forget the images of her grabbed by secret police and thrown into an unmarked van on behalf of a foreign country.

Love Boylan’s story. Got to take her predatory boss down, now the man who she helped elect in his place is standing up for her. Sometimes justice prevails.

This is my 2028 Presidential candidate right here. I’ll take time off and go to PA to canvass for him. Nobody else in the Senate is even close to his level of leadership.

Greenblatt destroying the ADL’s credibility is genuinely bad for society, as they once had some of the best statistics on hate movements & incidents nationwide. After the SPLC, there’s not another org left with that kind of depth.
