call us old fashioned but, this account finds newsom's "check out my rock-hard AI nipples. they're absolutely glistening" platform less inspirational than pritz's "you fascists bring that shit here and I will personally fuck your asses up."
Illinois Gov. Pritzker vows to pursue Trump officials who participate in an illegal National Guard deployment to Chicago:
"If you hurt my people, nothing will stop me - not time or political circumstance - from making sure that you face justice under our constitutional rule of law."

"One of the reasons the epidemic of violence against women is so unacknowledged is because cases like these are talked about individually, and often treated as though they are shocking aberrations rather than part of a pervasive pattern that operates at all levels of society."

“if you just ignore the raging grease fire and toxic black mold then this restaurant is michelin starred”
Hassett says the economy is good if you just ignore the jobs report: "While the jobs numbers had this big kind of mysterious revision, if they didn't have the revision, then the jobs numbers were fully consistent with the 3% GDP growth we also saw last week."

I just hope more parents in Tennessee and parents in general realize you only have so much control over your children and what they become, and the best way to fuck of your relationship is by dictating who they must be, even at an early age.

This sounds like a bit but I’m being serious: kids using chat gpt for their homework are denying themselves the invaluable experience of learning how to bullshit their way through a problem. You drink some caffeine the night before and figure it the fuck out. That’s a skill. You need it in life.

My student said she’s navigating life’s chaos by perfecting her “smokey eye,” so I asked her to give me a tutorial and let’s just say that now I look the way 2025 feels.

Look, a thing about me is that at this point the only way to ensure I write you a letter of rec is to attach a picture of a heron. That’s just how it is, kids. Herons or bust.

Shout out to all the teachers closing out their year. It’s Herculean work that’s often ignored, so I’m raising a glass in your direction.

So this is how it ends then. Not with a bang, but with…a grown woman nursing a bowl of Lucky Charms waiting for the next episode of Murderbot.

You guys, a conclave of old cardinals can decide on a POPE faster than an academic search committee can decide on the four people we're bringing to campus for an assistant professor search.
