When you publish a website that posts the names and photos of scholars who have written or said things you disagree with and encourage people to surveil and harass them, you are not, in fact, a “free speech” organization.
It is quite simply dishonest to describe TPUSA as a “free speech” organization and not even mention the “Professor Watchlist,” as NPR just did. Reporting on a crime does not entail adopting the victim’s views.

I know the LSU Graduate School didn't email us this morning broadly chastising graduate students for not paying tuition after they changed the whole registration and payment system mid-semester last spring. 👀

Laughing at British shows being like, "it's so far it takes me an hour to get there" and it's 💯 less than 30 miles (judgement based on last summer's side quest to Bronte Country)

Pivot to video was such a curse. Now everything’s like obviously you’d rather watch a 40 minute video than read a sentence.

This is Jess. She was born in Jamaica in 1938. She now lives in Tooting. Her portrait & story were taken by Steve Reeves, the great London photographer on instagram. I don't think he's here, though, so I'll tell you a bit about her.
Jess had a happy childhood in Jamaica. She rode a mule to school.

My precious car needs serious repairs but it's under warranty. So a reprieve on the anxiety front. Then the dealership gave me a loaner car (which I'm liable for) with a MSRP valued more than I've ever made in a year. 😅

Season 2 of Fleabag is truly perfect. You don't even need a recap of the first season to appreciate its utter brilliance.

I suppose the New York Times will run daily stories on this until he resigns, unless Secretary of Defense is a less newsworthy job than a college administrator?
“A review of Hegseth’s thesis by The Daily Princetonian, in consultation with three experts on plagiarism, found eight instances of uncredited material, sham paraphrasing, and verbatim copying.”
Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth ’03 ‘plagiarized’ small portions of his senior thesis, experts say. But how serious is it?

One of the things about RSD is you're more upset that you're crying because you have RSD rather than crying about the rejection itself. 🙃

Let’s keep the context up front. In early April masses of NEH grants were terminated as “an urgent priority.” Those included grants that fund 50 state humanities councils, which do community-based work all across the country. And rigorously peer-reviewed grants to individual scholars & orgs.
