This is the small open boat Team Hegseth bombed and then bombed again. It's almost 1700 miles by sea from Trinidad to Miami. There is no way this boat was headed for the US.

okay you know what I will yell about this. it’s 7:15am ET and I have eight Giving Tuesday emails so far, not counting the ones orgs sent on Sunday, or physical mail. orgs are fighting for scraps of attention and if they don’t their boards will get angry FOMO.
feeling my annual Giving Tuesday Nonprofit Professional Saltiness and instead of yelling about this fake problem I will instead say, if you have GT overwhelm: you will not go wrong if you pick one local org to give to, give to their general fund, and make it recurring. add more when you're ready.

Since our fucking government isn’t observing World AIDS Day, I will. In 1990, I started taking care of people in the last stages of AIDS in their homes. I did this for nearly two years. The home care company I worked for had meetings for those of us who solely (or nearly solely) took care of PWAs.

“[Eventually] humanities depts will be forced to accept AI-authored assignments, as part of revised university policy to cooperate with these billionaires. It's already happening, and our response needs to be decisive. Because our students' ability to *think* is at stake.”

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.
