Husband just walked over to our local coffee shop and he was stopped on the way by a little old man with the news that the new pope was from Chicago.

Everything dope about the USA is from Chicago....

Things Democratic Senators could do that would be useful:

- Withdraw unanimous consent from all Senate business until constitutional rule was restored

- Refuse to vote for any legislation until constitutional rule was restored

- Boycott as a caucus until constitutional rule was restored

"I had not touched a cat in 15 yrs when an orange kitten wandered over to sit w/me in the grass one day. I was left without adequate words to describe that experience. It reminded me that I am alive. It instilled in me a raw, unbridled happiness that I had never felt before, not even as a child."

I sincerely think that universities should suspend their productivity standards for scientists and ask them instead to hold town halls in schools, public libraries, museums, shopping malls, and anywhere else and communicate what is being lost with the collapse of the research ecosystem.
“The ecosystem of research and the creation of new knowledge in universities has been so powerful for American prosperity, American freedom, American ingenuity. To have that disrupted by government overreach is a disaster for this country.” —Wesleyan University President Michael Roth on

Reupping this podcast (from August 2024!) where I interviewed Yasser Elsheshtawy of Columbia University about Netanyahu's 'Dubaization' plan for Gaza.

It's all the more relevant now considering the US/Trump admin's plans for the Gaza Strip

Hey, can I share some historical context with you about “race-baiter” Ebrahim Rasool?

When I see a South African who’s a little older, I always check what they were doing before 1990. 🧐

Found something surprising: As a boy, Rasool and his family were expelled from District Six.

The way Charles Ponzi dramatically reimagined finance. Or Jeffrey Dahmer reimagined dining.
I found it distressing this afternoon when a CNN reporter said President Trump had spent the last six weeks "dramatically reimagining presidential power."
