an important thing to remember in the "is this what they voted for" discourse is that the average voter is so fucking dumb that it would bend your understanding of the human mind

I didn’t realize there were still discoveries to be made in the field of egg-cracking. This is why we must fund science.
New experiments show eggs are less likely to crack when they fall on their side.
Eggs are less likely to crack when dropped on their side, according to science
New experiments show eggs are less likely to crack when they fall on their side. It’s commonly thought that eggs are strongest at their ends because the arc-shaped bottom redirects the force of the impact and softens the blow.

I’m sorry but if your students use AI to write papers and you use AI to grade them zero school is happening. You are running together on a hamster wheel
Why even have a brain, any ideas, any ability to express them, any kind of communication with other people, any desire to solve problems or invent anything, any reason to learn, any use for your eyes or your heart, or any reason to teach or create

The guy answering phones at Rep. Mann's Manhattan KS office said that basically no one else has called to express concern over the leak putting our military in danger. Apparently I'm the ONLY person in all of KS 1 that thinks it's an issue & am unreasonable for calling.
Their phone # is 785-370-7277

Think this is a rollback of trans right? No, this is something entirely new, and much more regressive
When I came out as a trans woman in 2010 — going on estrogen, changing my pronouns — I had faith in something: For us, things will get better.

USAID matters. I've often disagreed with their strategy and choices, but their work saves more lives than any philanthropy can. It's a rounding error in the federal budget, and one of the best things we do as a country. To see it destroyed overnight by one unelected man is an unmitigated horror.

What he's announcing is a concentration camp. A deeply illegal, unconstitutional, anti-human rights atrocity. Anyone who supports this is complicit. Anyone in any federal service, military or otherwise, is morally obligated to refuse to carry out any orders related to this deeply criminal act.
Trump announces an executive order authorizing a 30,000 capacity migrant detention center in Guantanamo.
"Some of them are so bad we don't even trust the countries to hold them because we don't want them coming back, so we're going to send them out to Guatanamo Bay."

For this week’s @newyorker.com, I dove into a romantasy plagiarism lawsuit that raises deeper questions about tropes, authorship, and the grubby imperatives of selling books in a post-literate world.

Did a Best-Selling Romantasy Novelist Steal Another Writer’s Story?
Tracy Wolff, the author of the “Crave” series, is being sued for copyright infringement. But romantasy’s reliance on standardized tropes makes proving plot theft tricky.

In 2004, Thomas Frank tried to unravel the mystery of poor Kansans who vote Republican. We dig into the great political mystery of our time: what’s up with white people?
