Happy first week of the 2025 US Open (and bday week for Bob + me) to all who celebrate!
I regret there’s not a sold-out run of Pavement shows all week in NY again this year; alas, I’m looking forward to seeing y’all + them in TX in September!
Meanwhile, catch us (forever) in the cheap seats. 🎾♥️✌️

The combination of fascism covid more fascism genocide capitulation to fascism and the clear goal of AI tech bros to eradicate the workforce and make all jobs and future goals irrelevant as we all slide into poverty while eleven rich people become gods is really doing a number on us.
An issue we're seeing at all levels of university is that many students are simply refusing to do *anything*. They aren't reading the syllabus, aren't following assignment guidelines, aren't engaging with material, ignoring deadlines. And this might seem like old news, but it truly has ramped up.

2 MRIs in 6 months? Yeah Trump isn't well.
TRUMP: If they want to release my MRI it's ok w/me. It's perfect like my phone call where I got impeached
Q: What part of your body were they were looking at?
TRUMP: I have no idea. It was just an MRI. It wasn't the brain bc I took a cognitive test & aced it, which you would be incapable of doing

If you are a chair of a department or supervise grad students, it might be important to collaborate with your colleagues on ways to strategize when a "problem essay" comes down the pike. It's one small way of protecting each other.

I’m posting this, not bc I think it will work, but rather bc I think it’s important to know who would propose such a thing and what else they might be involved with (eg, Prospera in Honduras, as shown in thread). Some of these same people will still be here, causing chaos, even when Trump is not.
At CPAC in Feb, Roger Stone ally Shane Trejo & Mark Ivanyo introduced the “Third Term Project,” which calls for a constitutional “modification” (introduced by Andy Ogles) stating that POTUS can serve “two *consecutive* terms & no more,” enabling Trump but not Obama to serve again. Sound on 1/

the literary form of the modern American conservative movement, the mold by which that TPUSA dunce's writing seems to have been shaped, is the Facebook comment section. AI is the "aesthetic" of fascism; "I didn't read the article but I'm mad about what I think it said" is the prose.
