"While other universities report that the humanities are shrinking, at Berkeley, the opposite is true. The music major is the fastest-growing major on campus. We are finding bigger classrooms because film is exploding. English is back to the numbers we saw 15 years ago. We are hiring" bit.ly/4ohKuOe

I can reassure the New York Times that networks of mutual protection, and misogynist retaliation efforts that benefit abusive men at the expense of the young women they prey upon, are very much still intact post-Me Too.
This is nauseating: “As the emails stretch through the years, they show how that protected realm vanished into the mists of time, pulled under by the rising forces of the internet and the #MeToo movement.” A “Gone With the Wind” framing for sexual abuse and harassment.
Seriously, what is wrong with these people?

The thing about Johnson not swearing in Grijalva is that’s it a test for 2026.

If you think they will accept an outcome they don’t like, they will just Grijalva it.

So what’s the plan when the GOP says “we ain’t leaving, fuck you, make us.”

Because that IS what they are going to say.

And probably not just "torn down" but destroyed, just like the gorgeous facade he wrecked for his ugly tower in NYC (and that a museum had offered to preserve).
This plaque in the East Wing of the White House has been torn down by Donald Trump, a convicted felon and adjudicated rapist.

This should be an Iran-Contra level scandal and I don’t even know if it will make the front page in this news environment
This story is extraordinary even by 2025 standards. Marco Rubio, the nation's top diplomat, made a deal with Bukele and agreed to renege on informant agreements in a years-long DOJ investigation into MS-13, totally undercutting credibility of such agreements.

Rubio promised to betray U.S. informants to get Trump’s El Salvador prison deal
To secure U.S. access to President Nayib Bukele’s notorious CECOT prison, Rubio agreed to turn over several MS-13 leaders central to a long-running Justice Department investigation.

Didn’t Charlie Kirk create “professor watchlist and school board watch list” to intimidate, harass, and doxx his ideological opponents?

I hate violence and murder. I hate what happened to Charlie Kirk but I will NOT pretend some “hero” got killed. Kirk helped create this awful environment.

1. The investigation is ongoing in the murder of rightwing hate-monger Charlie Kirk. The shooter remains on the loose. There’s a flurry of reporting, but very little is solid. In the meantime, here are some thoughts. Forgive me if they’re outdated by the time you read this.

Why the French don’t even have a word for «conquer»
People are melting down at a Tribune article about CHSD 230 considering adding Arabic to its language learning electives. I wasted time in the comments, which I normally avoid doing since it's useless and awful, but it led to possibly the funniest thing anybody's ever said to me about France.
