Have just been reading about the plans to gut geology, paleobiology and geography at Leicester - where many of the key figures who have developed the Anthropocene concept are based - Mark Williams, Jan Zalasiewicz, Colin Waters… absolute insanity. Institutional vandalism.

This is, of course, a stark betrayal of the New School’s storied history and animating spirit. It demonstrates something many of us know intellectually but have trouble grasping: many university leaders *do not care* about, even *actively despise*, the basic values that bring us to work every day.
The New School is now a place where students cannot major in History, Anthropology, Sociology, Global Policy & International Affairs, Global Studies, Urban Studies, or Environmental Studies. And more pauses, closures, and mergers coming down the pike this week. The future is uncertain.

The NYT is a ragebait troll farm. This is the business model they have chosen, at least for this stretch of history. There is only one rationale response. I’m sorry, but we gotta muzzle the gray lady.

A thing you're not seeing if you haven't checked Twitter in the last week is all the political betting markets (Polymarket, Kalshi) are actively caping for Cuomo and spreading Zohran conspiracies on there. Usually this would be a cause for some sort of regulatory oversight but that no longer exists.

TRUMP ADMIN: IT IS FORBIDDEN TO PROVIDE ANY DISCOUNT WHATSOEVER TO SNAP RECIPIENTS TO WHOM WE HAVE DENIED FOOD
The USDA sent an email to grocery stores telling them they are prohibited from offering special discounts to customers affected by the SNAP funding lapse.
I'm aware of at least 2 stores that had offered struggling customers a discount, then withdrew it after receiving this email

A U.S. colonel was at the scene of Shireen Abu Akleh’s murder within hours and was able to conclude quickly the shooting had obviously been intentional. His boss then covered it up so as not to “displease” the Israelis, the Times reports.

Gaza’s olive groves have been bulldozed by the Israeli military, dried up from lack of water, or remain inaccessible, leaving Palestinian farmers with little to harvest.
