Saw Vonnegut onstage in '83 and he did his "graphic representation of plots" thing then. The Kafka Curve is quite something.
The science of storytelling with author and humanist Kurt Vonnegut 😅❤️

It’s pretty damn validating to hear Barack Obama say the same things we’ve been shouting for months, and longer.

Who could have predicted this would happen? <bangs head against all repeatedly.>
A Nature poll found that 75% of U.S. researchers are considering leaving the country.
Guyz, even the *historians* are leaving or contemplating / likely to go. Including, at least 3 historians that I know of in my subfield. 😢

Pappas: It’s a big tell that Republicans are trying to gerrymander their way into a permanent majority, because they understand how historically unpopular their ideas are. Whether it’s closing rural hospitals, kicking people off their health insurance, or taking food away from hungry families

ICE tactics in Chicago are escalating.

The GOP is literally *checks notes* defunding the police
Department of Homeland Security is cutting over $187 million or 86% of homeland security funding to New York State which will radically defund NYPD, FDNY, and NY State Police terrorism programs, according to a letter from New York Governor Kathy Hochul to DHS Secretary Kristi Noem.

Earlier this week, Sinclair said it would replace "Jimmy Kimmel Live" with a documentary about Charlie Kirk during the Friday time slot that Kimmel occupies on its ABC affiliates.
Friday evening, Sinclair pulled the documentary and aired "Celebrity Family Feud" instead.

As long as #ABC is pre-empting Kimmel's timeslot, why not show video footage of school shootings, interview parents & survivors, & tell the victims' stories? Explain why the US values guns more than children, and give reasons why we continue to do NOTHING to prevent the next mass shooting.
