Los Alamos and U of Michigan want to build a data center in the small town of Ypsilanti. The city's people don't want to help make weapons of mass destruction. The fight is only just starting

we all know that the proof for the administration that an institution is not implementing affirmative action will be the percentage of nonwhite admits. the lower the better. any more than a smattering of black and Hispanic students will be evidence of illegal discrimination (against whites)
President Trump is expected to sign a directive mandating universities provide admissions data to prove they are not implementing affirmative action policies, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt posts on X.
Trump to require universities to hand over admissions data on race
The move comes after Ivy League universities Columbia and Brown struck settlements that require them to release information about applicants’ race.

Of course the main story is Trump’s authoritarianism.
But the secondary story is that some university presidents and donors called for this. They went on the news and in front of Congress to claim their students were violent antisemites, funded by Iran, who don’t deserve speech rights

there's never any suggestion that they're thinking about *why* concepts like diversity, equity and inclusion are now problems, why *now,* what the implications are
the emptiness at the heart of all of this, the lack of discussion, the *absence of thinking*-- is so ominous.

Pete Hegseth isn’t DEI. Daniel Penny isn’t DEI. That’s not what DEI is.
They’re just grossly unqualified for their jobs and add no value that any replacement legacy job applicant wouldn’t bring.
So stop saying “it’s DEI” like it’s a clever commentary on the situation. It’s not.

megawealth is a curse! you become acutely aware of the needs you have that cannot be satisfied through material means AND you are socially ill-positioned to be in a place where you can experience authentic human connection because everyone around you has every incentive to lie to you!
it is *wild* how a primary effect of unspendable wealth can be making someone incomprehensibly thin-skinned

labor theorists of value in absolute shambles
Why the fuck does this exist? Why would a restaurant serve this? Why would anyone order it? Why would you pay $16 fucking dollars for a dish that don't even have the ingredients mixed!!!!!
Restaurants are getting really dumb. And you know, like, mixing the ingredients properly is part of cooking.
