A multi platinum record that is essentially a circular firing squad resting on a sentient pillar of cocaine. It’s an achievement on par with the pyramids.

Reasons LIz Truss is Herbert Hoover reincarnated:

Lots of jokes about RFK brain worms on this site - which is good. Not enough jokes about Elmo, the IRA and exploding cars - which is bad.

Huh i guess it’s an existential threat to democracy to purge humanities and police thought on university campuses— but only in Russia
To please Putin, universities purge liberals and embrace patriots
Russian university leaders are imbuing the country’s education system with patriotism to favor Putin, quashing Western influences and dissent.

NYPD: we found a book called Moby Dick at the encampment, which is proof that the protesters are planning to ram the university with a whale.

Trump hates dogs and loves performative cruelty - so it reads like a pitch for the VP post. And it might still work.

the right wing is so enthusiastic about cops harming and arresting college kids and faculty because they’ve been waging an intellectual war against them for so long and their blood-thirst finally has a physical outlet

I want better reporting on the motivation and pressure behind Columbia and NYU’s shitshow reactions. Which donors or politicians are making threatening phone calls? What/who are administrators afraid of and why? Coverage so far offers basically no insight.

Very funny to me how Weiss and Berliner both tried so hard to get fired so that they could become martyrs of liberal bias but their publications were so committed to letting conservatives do and say anything that they had to resign
You heard it here, folks: Berliner was "punished for heresy" by trying and failing to get himself fired, then resigning in a huff and claiming he was "cancelled." Just like Bari Weiss.
You'd think even Robby Soave would be ashamed of this level of intellectual dishonesty. @mmasnick.bsky.social

NPR's Uri Berliner has shown that DEI is about punishing heresy
The long-time public radio editor's resignation proves he was right all along.

Many of us have been talking about what might happen if Trump gets into office. However, we really need to be paying attention to how the right to protest is being clamped down right now. This is bigger than Trump. Universities are being squeezed and students rights are being trampled on for donors

Anyone else noticed that increases in Elmo’s intensity of retweeting blatant and provocative falsehoods largely corresponds with big slides in Tesla share price. Almost like he is trying to distract people.
