Kind of feel bad for the Foucault-pilled scholars who've spent years being like "you see, power imposes itself subtly on the people" and now have to contend with a federal government with all the subtlety of a sledgehammer

I’m sorry, but when E. Gordon Gee leaves a university in better shape than he found it, then I will consider his thoughts about the state of American higher education.

According to the car wash owner, agents arrested employees before they could obtain their documentation from their work lockers. So many were likely here legally.

Here's hoping this article on Zac boasting about how he ruined some immigrants' lives follows him around for a very long time.

I really do hate the term 'metroidbrania'. I think so do many of you. Let's nip it in the bud before it becomes something people are financially invested in.
Against 'Metroidbrania': a Landscape of Knowledge Games
What are knowledge games? How do we relate them to each other? What sub-genres exist – and which ones might be implied?

he’s a provider of access to money, connections and beautiful women and girls — everything that these people need to affirm their own status. being rich and powerful is a grift which requires other to bolster & buy in. That’s the service Epstein provided.
Something that’s so striking in these emails is how…unimpressive Epstein is. He comes off as a pompous, sub-literate lech. Yes everyone is so mortifyingly solicitous of him! All fawning and flattery! Why?????

@bsky.app do you not know who Sarah Kendzior is???? Have you not read her books?? Are you as out of touch as the @wsj.com that thinks Johnny Cash is uncool? This is horrific news, I thought you had taste.

Hi Bluesky,

God just needs 17k followers to hit 600k. And then 66k more after that to hit 666k. That will be funny.

Thanks,

God

Maths...

If you make $100,000 a year (not bad), it will take you 10 MILLION years to earn a trillion dollars.

If you make a million dollars a year (wow!), it'll still take you a million years to earn a trillion dollars.

Tax the rich.

Bald Eagles are majestic
and really quite #domestic
mated pairs return to nest each year.
You'd think they'd like a change
perhaps another mountain range
another slope with more commanding views.
Yet they are wise to keep things as they are
sharp eyed and free
returning from afar.

I escaped the darkened room
strewn with #creature comforts
and found myself in some kind
of long foyer or hallway reminiscent of The Shining
yet more eerily and morosely lit.
I decided to sit down while Oblivion was calling me toward the light. I wasn’t ready to go however. One more breath.
