Finally sub’d. You should too. Thank God for the Onion.
Some incredibly good news:
One year ago this week, The Onion returned to print.
In that one year, we’ve grown to the 13th largest print newspaper in the United States, just ahead of the Boston Globe, and growing fast.
In short, it’s working.
So… thank you. Thank you for helping save this thing.

Exclusive: NIH to dismiss dozens of grant reviewers to align with Trump priorities

And with that, the biggest set of legislative changes to higher education since at least the 1992 Higher Education Act reauthorization is through Congress and will be signed tomorrow. Here is a good summary of key provisions.

Moved to tears by the notion of folks with dementia experiencing the rare gift of enjoying jokes anew. People are very good.
I got permission to share this, and I'm extremely grateful for that.
The Onion got this letter from one of our subscribers in Alaska. She works with dementia patients and decided to leave a copy in the car for each one.
This email made my year. Read it and you'll see what I mean. People are good.
