I will never forget having to edit Jamal’s final, posthumous piece for the Washington Post, after he was murdered.
He was calling for free expression in the Arab world. You can read it here :

Opinion | Jamal Khashoggi: What the Arab world needs most is free expression
The Arab world needs a modern version of the old transnational media so citizens can be informed about global events.

I wanted to get a video of this ghost crab but every time I got close to their hole they scuttled back in, so I tried getting clever with it. I made a little sandcastle and shoved my phone into it, hit record, and walked away. Crab was VERY suspicious of this addition to their environment.

Read this post directly after one about the ending of funding for FLAS (Foreign Languages and Area Studies) fellowships.
Wow. The University of Chicago, a world-class institution whose humanities faculty in the past has included Homi Bhabha & Lauren Berlant & Ralph Ellison & Hannah freaking Arendt, is getting rid of basically every graduate department involving the acknowledgment that other cultures & languages exist.

FLAS fellowships paid my way through grad school. I studied Swahili every year, and it changed my life — both graduate studies and becoming fluent in Swahili.
Speechless.
Speechless.
We're sending out cancellation of FLAS (Foreign Language & Area Studies) fellowships to dozens of students today, bc Trump has illegally refused to disburse year 4 of our DoE grants. Congrats to everyone in the GOP who is laser-focused on 🇺🇸 national security & the threat of rising 🇨🇳 to 🇺🇸 hegemony.
Yes, we’re literally about to zero out funding for every Title VI area studies center at every university in the country, along with FLAS fellowship funding. A generation of human capital that feeds into our diplomatic & intelligence corps that will simply not exist. National security madness.

how many times can i post "it's always the ones you most suspect" before you all kick me off this site
The Texas Observer has identified James “Jim” Joseph Rodden, assistant chief counsel for ICE as “GlomarResponder” who posts white supremacist and racist statements on X. Rodden represents the agency in immigration court hearings where judges decide whether an individual is removed from the country.

The two greatest evils known to mankind, A.I. and the person directly in front of you in line at the post office, have finally teamed up. We’re done.
Woman in line in front of me at the post office is not happy about the cost of shipping. She just whipped out her phone, asked ChatGPT how much it thinks the shipping should cost, and is trying to get the mailman to honor that price.

TIL: When the Original Star Wars Trilogy finally aired on Chilean TV in 2003, the network spliced custom beer commercials into the films themselves to avoid cutting to commercial breaks.
these additional scenes turn Obi-Wan & Luke into raging space alcoholics who are constantly shotgunning booze.

Andry José Hernández Romero, I remember you, even if I do not know how to articulate my horror, rage, & sorrow at your treatment by my government.
No one has heard from you in 124 days.
As vigil, I’m posting a photo or video of you every day until you are returned from El Salvador.

I have such a fascination with the aesthetic evolution of Kristi Noem.
The Barbification is a telling freak show for sure, but I also have so many questions about the "before" photos.
Like, is she actually a Midwest Mom gone Mar-a-Lago, or was the "before" bad hair and denim jackets cosplay, too?
