@mleccese.bsky.social Hi Mark! I have a colleague who is involved with a nonprofit that deals with men's mental health. She was concerned about news articles that name suicide victims (that weren't connected to any larger news story). Any thoughts on how media organizations feel about that?

It rules that the dumbest motherfuckers on the planet get to gut every smart or funny or interesting website to make a quick buck for themselves then move on to the next one. I wonder what they're going to do when they run out of websites

Still a bunch of votes to count, but if these results out of New York don't make the Biden campaign nervous, they probably should.

Reminder to new users here:
The top marginal tax rate in the US in the 1950s was over 90%. The top marginal tax rate now is 37%.
If you got $1000/day every day since the year 1AD and saved every dollar, you still wouldn't be a billionaire. But in the next decade the first trillionaire will exist.

Lots going on in higher ed censorship right now, beyond UPenn:
OH could pass worst censorship law in US next week
FL admits it banned sociology gen eds as viewpoint censorship
WI system head capitulates to legislature on DEI, but blocked by Regents
PEN America is on the case.

When I went to Chile to research concentration camp history, I talked to so many people who held Kissinger responsible for destroying their country and their lives. They were tortured in horrific ways, detained in heinous conditions, then often exiled for years. I hope they sleep peacefully tonight.
