I keep seeing things about the Reiner kid’s drug use as a teen as if doing drugs explains the double murder of one’s parents… there’s a lot of information here still missing

I know it feels pointless but we really don’t have to live this way. A better world is within grasp

The whole “go back to twitter” thing is just: certain people cannot accept that their follower counts and 10 years of internet popularity doesn’t matter anymore. It’s over.

Just a reminder that at least 600 Americans were fired for failing to show sufficient respect after Charlie Kirk's murder.

I cannot believe they don’t have the brown shooter still. We give the cops a trillion dollars and a bunch of military tools and they can’t even do their jobs well

The starting teacher salary in Hillsborough County in 1969 was $6,000, vs a PCPI of $3,189.

The starting teacher salary in Hillsborough County in 2023 was $47,500, vs a PCPI of $63,640.

Yes, the social and class status of teachers has changed wildly over the past half-century.
I’m not even sure that’s true. Even when you could nominally live off a teaching salary, you were at the bottom rung of life affordability
I think teaching was *traditionally* seen as middle class, but realistically in the modern age it really isn't

Every year someone tweets/skeets about cocaine as if they’ve been in a coma since 1915
What we not finna do is normalize the usage of cocaine.

Why is there this strong insistence that teachers or college professors aren’t also working class?
i am once again asking who the "leftist extremists in the faculty lounge" shaping democratic party priorities are, and what policies it is that they are instituting

Nice work here pointing out the egregiously bad call that decided the Celebration Bowl, and the context of it all for Prairie View. Those guys deserved better.
Today in the well-subscribed college football newsletter

- Celebration Bowl ends like most parties: someone dancing while someone else furious
- Diego Pavia keeps winning newsletter MVP awards, adding Until Saturday to his Channel 6 haul
- D2 flexbone team might rush for 7,000 yards this season lol
College football’s most brutal call of 2025, plus Diego Pavia, this newsletter’s MVP

RIBC used to run ads on RIPTA that said “Are you over 16? Do you have blood?” which always made me laugh, but they were also effective.

If you’re over 16, have blood, can donate, and live in any of these states, please consider doing so ASAP.
I am a student at Brown in communication with a friend at RIBC.

There is an urgent need for blood donations to support RI. Donations in NY, NJ, MN, NB, DE or NJ can help supply RI.

Spread the word.

Donate Blood
Check your eligibility to donate blood, learn about the process and why blood matters, and enroll in a RIBC Donor Loyalty Rewards programs.

Dems were in power 12 of the past 25 years with the chance to at least *attempt* to reduce the power of the police state and instead gleefully and massively expanded it at every single opportunity.

They didn't even pretend to oppose any of this shit on principle, only the aesthetics.
WOW. @haleaziz.bsky.social with a new scoop: ICE now gets a running list of every person who is going to be taking a domestic flight inside the United States from the TSA and runs it through their database looking for targets. This explains the Babson College student's arrest.
