Call me old fashioned, but I’m having a hard time moving past the whole “the president posted a graphic video of a woman getting murdered” thing.
@washingtonpost.com @nytimes.com @cnn.com @npr.org @us.theguardian.com @theguardian.com @politico.com sometimes the news is that the news isn’t being covered.
Religious Studies scholars have studied these for a hundred years: Waco, Jonestown, Y2K, and Heaven’s Gate, etc. These days are tough on some people, a mix of malaise and the sense, once again, that no one is coming to save us.

Happy Orbs Rising From the Ocean False Prophecy Day to all those celebrate!!! If you don’t know of which I speak, this is yet another day that was foretold by another millinarian about an other worldly event that connects ancient knowledge with Utopianism.

At least they warn us before they call the cops on us since we know UC has no problem sacrificing its own. The call is always coming from inside campus at this place.

In honor of our fiftieth year of being a peer-reviewed scholarly journal, we are pleased to publish our next issue that has more Indigenous authors in one issue than any before.
When I was a kid we’d go on trips in the car and my dad would get us Yes and No Books, and these men’s faces under plastic where a magnetized pen would move filaments of magnets to form beards and mustaches. Anyway. Just saying.
We were lucky to spend our graduate student days in the height of scholarly theory while at the center of its negotiation.
UCLA has inked a deal to give all its faculty discounted access to ChatGPT, the same company who made it possible for their owner to give 25 million to the supreme leader Trump's campaign, the same president who has sued UCLA and ruined its campus life and damaged its reputation. That's leadership!
What if alien contact isn’t coming as a war — but we’re preparing for one anyway? The space race is essentially an extension of colonialism — a continuation of resource extraction, territorial conquest, and power consolidation beyond Earth.

Just a reminder that the UC system was not a party in this litigation. Faculty, staff and the @aaup.org fought on their own. UCLA, and the entire UC system, should be ashamed of themselves, and their leaders should be reminded of their submissives every day.
Did you write it?!? I feel like no one knows more about how much an Iron Lung would suck than you.

Be safe up there, Kim. Thinking about and yours.
All you need to know about supposed leaders: what are they doing today? Obama, Hillary, Pete, Gavin, Harris, Biden, and who else. Strong words? Statements from their mansions? I may not know the other options. But also, I’m not a politician who would know better.

We were supposed to celebrate the 75th anniversary of the agency in May 2025. That never happened.

As I and others have written, algorithmic wage discrimination combined with the myth of “independent contracting” allows platform companies to use “desperation scores” to determine how little to pay drivers.
