production of The Muppet Show should not be dependent on petty vulgarities like “ratings” or “revenue.” it should be preserved as a vital function of american culture. it should have a taxpayer-funded budget rivaling the CIA

According to FOX 9, a Minneapolis federal judge demanded to know why DOJ is missing deadlines & AUSA Julie Le said, "The system sucks, this job sucks" & asked to be held in contempt so she could sleep.
PACER shows she got assigned to defend the govt in 88+ cases since Operation Metro Surge started.

Y'all this just happened at my school so I feel the need to say it: don't make false reports about ICE being on your campus/in your neighborhood. Things are incredibly tense rn, don't add to that tension unnecessarily.

Why I argue archaeology is the master discipline for higher education: we include everything from lab science through historical approaches. You can’t do it with only one end of the rainbow of ways of knowing
I should also note that I am someone who has humanities degrees and who *also* has ended up really enjoying doing a lot of STEM-Type-Work professionally: I’m a big fan of both.
And I refuse to play along with the idea that one is superior to the other.

I agree that it’s high fucking time that we stopped acting like we need to grovel and constantly justify the existence of some of our most incredibly elemental and ancient human pursuits.

(TW suicide) One person who died in ICE custody this year is someone I haven’t seen mentioned much—Chaofeng Ge. He was found hanging in a shower room at a processing center. It was declared suicide…even though his hands and feet were tied behind his back. ICE is refusing to give the family details

Rumors of FBI letters threatening trans public figures center on an AI-generated document
It is not impossible for the FBI to do what has been claimed. It is still irresponsible to spread panic among marginalized people through rumors without evidence.
