Doing this when the recent elections and all the polls suggest that any fair election will thoroughly reject Trump and Republicans isn't just about cowardice. It's a declaration of allegiance to Trump's war on higher education.
Northwestern bent the knee, choosing to give in to extortion at the expense of academic freedom.
Among the provisions:
-Pay a big bribe
-Give the govt data on students
-Validate BS about "fighting antisemitism"
-Be cruel to trans students
What to do about Vichy universities (now, later, or both)?

BREAKING: Northwestern University has agreed to pay the U.S. Treasury $75 million, over the course of three years as part of an agreement with the federal government to restore funding and end investigations into the university

This is why people spent/saved more during Lockdown.
It wasn’t the stimulus checks, it was not being required to spend all that money just to survive.

We have a “poverty trap” and it’s driving the destruction of social cohesion.
The “poverty line” is’t 35,000, it’s $150,000, and making more than one, and less than the other is worse than being “poor”.
Which is why the rage.

Drop was exactly what the players expected, a bad attempt to smash more IP into MTG. They stilll don't care about players opinions, other than how we use our wallets. This super drop didn't sell and I hope players keep up the good work not buying super drops, let scalpers eat the drop in value.
Wizards are pulling the plug on the current Monster Hunter SLD, and are reworking it to do better.
This fucking rules. It shows that the feedback and feelings of the player base matter.
It feels like Wizards care, and are listening.
Genuinely fantastic move. Bravo.

The EPA has approved two new pesticides with "forever chemicals" that will be used on food.
The agency has also announced plans for four additional approvals.
The approved pesticides will be used on vegetables such as romaine lettuce, broccoli and potatoes.

Impeachment isn’t an option, it’s a necessity. I know firsthand the lengths Trump is willing to go in order to silence dissent.

With the Fall 2025 anime season, Crunchyroll demonstrates zero respect for anime as a medium as the presentation quality of its subtitles reach an all-time low.

We don’t need to reform ICE.
We don’t need alternatives to ICE.
We don’t need to engage in dishonest debates wondering what the U.S. would do without ICE.
ICE isn’t even 23 years old. Most adults know a world without ICE. And the billions used to fund ICE can be used to meet people’s basic needs.
