Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

I don't care what side of the Israel-Palestine conflict your sympathies lie on, snatching up people with a valid student visa for the crime of writing an OpEd is naked fascism and if you don't oppose this you are a threat to this country's most basic values
Video of the international student at Tufts being arrested by "federal authorities" in Massachusetts has been released and it's terrifying.
They're not even uniformed officers. Just secret police thugs in hoodies and masks.

Calling it now, in a year or two there will be a Simpsons Treehouse of Horror that parodies Severance. Outie Homer will want to get into the Power Plant because he is jealous of Innie Homer getting to eat the donuts during his break

The discourse about the Shrek style change is interesting to me, since when they shifted the art style for Puss in Boots it got very little backlash from what I remember. When you watch The Last Wish and Shrek 2 back to back they both look very different , especially with the eyes and fur

The first measles death in the US in a decade -- the tragic, preventable death of a child whose parents chose not to protect them with vaccination -- should spark an immediate nation-wide campaign to ensure all children are protected against preventable diseases. Anything less is unconscionable.

The Big Bang Theory show exists in this weird limbo where I don’t think it’s nearly as bad as everyone says it is, but it’s also not good enough for me to care to defend. It has tons of issues, but there are wayyy worse sitcoms that don’t receive the same amount of hate
