We’ve been in this global wave of xenophobia since the mid 2000s and it’s getting stale. We gone wrap it up now, or…?

Many gift options here for discerning gentlefolk, including a wax Warren G. Harding, a bucket of grimy hairless dolls, the cabbage that John Oliver married in a ceremony officiated by Steve Buscemi, and a signed bidet.
Jon Oliver is auctioning off a bunch of stuff to fund public media.
Including Ajit Pai's giant goofy coffee mug (which he used as a stand in for having a personality while he destroyed U.S. corporate oversight during Trump's first term).
bidding is up to $2,125.

Watching a movie in which an abusive English professor "transfers" to a different college with one day's notice, midway through the fall semester, and wondering whether there's ever been a film or TV show that accurately depicts academia as a workplace.

What is happening at Goddard is absolutely devastating. We are losing history. We are losing an incredible amount of human talent, skill, and knowledge. Rebuilding it will be impossible same for same. Industry can not absorb the people or the equipment. This is undoing space science in the US.
Goddard spacecraft engineer: "I think it just kind of speaks to the atmosphere of the agency and the nation, where people are like, 'Well, laws don't matter for the people at the top anymore.'"
NASA is sinking its flagship science center during the government shutdown — and may be breaking the law in the process, critics say
"There is just a general acknowledgement that a lot of what is happening is illegal…"

Don't know how representative this experience is, but for what it's worth: every time I've asked to opt out of the face-recognition cameras at U.S. airports, there has been zero pushback. I say "I'd like to opt out, please," the TSA official says something like "sure, no problem," and that's it.

Wuthering Heights is overrated as a romance, and vastly underrated as a comedy.

What a generous act from someone who deserved so much better from the United States.
"[W]hen 'bullets crashed through the window and hit Miguel,' he turned to the 18 year-old boy sitting next to him in the van and said, 'I don't think I'm going to make it, get underneath me. Let me shield you.'"

In Dallas, Organizers Mourn the Immigrant Victims of Recent ICE Shooting
At a vigil outside city hall last week, advocates gathered to “center the victims” and to condemn the “dehumanization” of migrants by the federal government.

Today's the second day that NPR and PBS and the hundreds of local stations that comprise both networks are operating without any government support after they were defunded. Consider giving them a bit of support =>
Today marks the first day in public media’s history without federal funding. And we’re not going anywhere.

Even when Bloomberg writes about Wu "coasting to re-election" with a "commanding mandate," her popularity is presented not as a success but a problem. The focus isn't on what she's achieved, it's on the CEOs who are sulky and fretful that they can't dictate terms to her, or buy votes for Josh Kraft.
It's been pretty striking how the national media who anoint "rising stars" never seem to notice the intensely charismatic Michelle Wu, who focuses on progressive policy instead of "are we too woke" handwringing.

Nice try, but he's not surpassing Nuggan until he tariffs ears, accordion players, and the color blue.
Trump just announced a 100% tariff on foreign movies—five months after he last announced he was going to do it and Hollywood freaked it and no one was ever able to pin down how a tariff on a film would even work. New post provides no further details.
