hands down my favorite line from a book that provides no value add to the written word besides being, possibly, the most narcissistic memoir ever put to paper.

Elon Musk’s charitable foundation grew larger than ever in 2024. But, for the fourth year in a row, the huge charity failed to give away the minimum amount required by law — and the donations it did make went largely to charities closely tied to Musk himself, who is the world's richest man.

a good reminder that most of the trash-talking requires at least an MA and possibly a Phd in the Trump Cinematic Universe to even know what on earth they're talking about.

It is a good thing, actually, that more students at elite schools are receiving testing accommodations. It's good because it means more disabled people are going to top universities AND face less stigma in seeking them out.

First thing on every undocumented worker’s mind upon arriving in the United States: use a huge stockpile of cash to make a down payment and lock into a 30-year mortgage.

The right's now hegemonic argument that cocaine is actually a chemical weapon and that mere suspicion of having it on your boat justifies an order to kill everyone aboard is astoundingly insane

No reason at all to be bombing boats in the Caribbean. There's a pretend reason - drugs! - but it makes no sense and pretty much everybody knows it.

Only the Trump administration could manufacture a bombing boats in the Caribbean scandal. Literally no reason to be doing it. Just a random thing they came up with that's getting them in trouble

It’s weirdo garbage produced by random people on X and TikTok across a number of topics, like conspiracy theories about Ilhan Omar and influencers who claim “communists” are attempting a color revolution in the U.S.

Thank goodness Republicans got rid of all the bureaucracy and political correctness in education
TX Tech has a flow chat for guidance on what can be taught in the university system. Two things:
1. Very little content seems to be permitted. This is partisan control of the curriculum.
2. I would not enjoy teaching under these conditions, but I really would not want to be a Chair or Dean.
