A college philosophy professor in Texas has been told he can't teach about a rather minor philosopher called "Plato" because of new restrictions on teaching about race and gender.
We have become such a silly, stupid country.

Just finished my last book of 2025 and had to add it to my favorites list for the year. So many good books this year, so little time! Final total: 51 books, 16,217 pages. I've drafted my TBR for 2026 and I cannot wait to start reading. #2025favorites #reading

Now watching: Ladyhawke (1985). Bad accents? Yes. Underdeveloped backstop? Also yes. But somehow it still works.

Hi, immunologist here:
(a scientist who studies immune & inflammatory processes)
RFK Jr is talking absolute bullshit when he says he can “see in kids faces that they have inflammation”
That’s NOT how immunology works.
He is an anti-science profiteer.
Start calling him such.

WTF?!? Border Czar Tom Homan claimed that ICE and Border Patrol agents don’t need probable cause to detain people they suspect are undocumented, saying they can do so based on factors like physical appearance. This is straight-up racial profiling, not law enforcement.

It's National Trails Day so I had to share a little flashback to the Bar Harbor Shore Path. Sure, there are bigger trails in Acadia National Park, but I love walking along the bay on a beautiful day. @visitmaine.bsky.social #barharbor #Maine #summervibes #walking
