When Charles Murray gets around to joining James Watson in that great faculty lounge in the sky, it won't be a moment too soon.

@emptywheel.bsky.social I just don't have the heart
Merrick Garland left a standing impression that no one powerful will ever be held accountable. Democrats should rectify that by saying, loudly and every hour, that people who act on illegal orders will face punishment by the next DOJ.
Dems can say: Are you really sure you want to trust Trump, of all people, when he tells you that what he’s directing you to do is lawful, and that you’ll be protected later as a result? That’s a tenuous position for anyone to put themselves into—and Dems should not hesitate to say so.

@chrisvannini.com let's see: an extension for Mike Elko, an improved football roster, replacements for departing student-athletes........
What is a student who goes to A&M even paying for now?
Message to all faculty: your expertise is no longer trusted or valued at this so-called “university.”

Really enjoyed reporting this #longread on Megan Griffith, a Philly-area basketball human you should know.

She’s done the unfathomable leading Columbia’s WBB program. And so much of her coaching style can be traced back to her roots.

“That’s who I am to my core.”

‘She’s a force’: How King of Prussia’s Megan Griffith built Columbia into an Ivy League powerhouse
Columbia was one of women’s college basketball’s worst programs for decades before Megan Griffith's arrival, which coincided with three Ivy League titles and the school's first NCAA Tournament win.

@cherijacobus.bsky.social hopefully I'm the 48th person to send this your way
Why is Trump going after America's air traffic controllers, today of all days?

It's one more way to distract from his decision to increase your health insurance premiums."

All due respect to Mr Bonds (Giants fan here watched him in Candlestick, Pac Bell and AT&T Park(s) but I wasn't pinking Ohtani with the all-time HR king (clears throat)

Babe Ruth certainly came to mind tho

Q: Gov. Pritzker has asked for Operation Midway Blitz to be paused for the holiday weekend. Are you willing to do that?

NOEM: No, we're absolutely not willing to put on pause any work we will do to keep communities safe. The fact Gov. Pritzker is asking for that is shameful.

The Obama Library opens in the spring. Chicago winters prevent any outdoor construction which was the only delay.

@jessicamullen.bsky.social Mike Johnson does a better Mike Johnson than I ever could 😊
Mike Johnson on No Kings: "We refer to it by its more accurate description -- the Hate America Rally. You're gonna bring together the Marxists, the socialists, the antifa advocates, the anarchists, and the pro-Hamas wing of the far left Democrat Party. That is the modern Democratic Party."

@bracketdobber.net probably a more appropriate usage of the term (your skeet followed this!)
After spending 43 years in prison for a crime he didn't commit, evidence hidden by the prosecution reversed his conviction. Rather than finally enjoying freedom, ICE abducted him for deportation

Depraved.

@joshtpm.bsky.social via Sohrab Ahmari on X (he blocked me on primary account)

I saw that Roger Stone said that Benedict XVI was the "last legitimate pope." According to people familiar with the episode, 99% of the audience cheered.

the transparency of these Catholics is much appreciated

I spoke to a Venezuelan woman who was arrested in this raid and later released with her 4yo son. She said agents broke down their door, pointed guns at them and made sexualized remarks about Venezuelan women. When she returned to her apartment it was boarded up and all her possessions were gone.

@dansavage.bsky.social I wonder if he knows?
Bluesky: what’s the greatest example of someone naming something (animal, landmark, whatever) after a famous person not just because the person is famous but also because the thing is clearly somehow representative of the person?
