In what might be the logical endpoint of American Zionism, the Heritage Foundation has declared that pro-Palestinian activism is not just antisemitic, but is in fact a shadowy global conspiracy … led by Jews. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/18/u...

Very sad to hear that David Schleinkofer, the artist who gave us, among other things, the incredible box art for SimCity 2000 passed away last month.

NEW: By a 4–3 vote, the Wisconsin Supreme Court upholds Gov. Tony Evers' creative "veto" transforming a two-year school funding increase into a 400-year funding increase. Evers crossed out words, numbers, and hyphens to rewrite the law—legally, it turns out. www.wicourts.gov/sc/opinion/D...

what exactly would be different? Garcia wasn't given a hearing or formal deportation hearings. Ignored and flouted habeas requests. What would stop them from claiming a citizen is a non-citizen without there being any procedure of due process? (Nothing)
3) People are too quickly saying there's no difference bt what happened w/Abrego Garcia and what would happen w/US citizens.

When I worked in UK academia I recall hearing of a Japanese man who was baffled at how Britain had decided to run its universities like firms. “Why? Your universities are excellent and your firms are terrible.”
To repeat: "A country so stupid it actively trashes one of things it's good at and famous for."
Today's university slashing and burning is Edinburgh, where about 10% of the budget will be cut. There'll be another case every single day until UK govts actually do something. A country so stupid it actively trashes one of things it's good at and famous for.

The democrats knew all of this would happen to Americans and still risked it all to fund Israel’s genocide.

Hearing about this from physicists working on American experiments, it's so self destructive.
I think some people hear “grants” and think that without them, scientists and government workers just have less stuff to play with at work. But grants fund salaries for students, academics, researchers, and people who work in all areas of public service.

“Pausing” grants means people don’t eat.
White House pauses all federal grants, sparking confusion
The Trump administration has put a hold on all federal financial grants and loans, affecting tens of billions of dollars in payments.

Liberal university leaders called the cops; Democratic mayors and governors ordered the cops to beat the shit out of them; Democratic AGs prosecuted them on trumped up charges; and the Democratic president implied they were antisemites
The Trump White House has reportedly instructed the Pentagon to release the hold imposed by the Biden administration on the supply of 2,000-pound bombs to Israel.

Where are all those college protests now? 🤷
Scoop: Trump lifts Biden's hold on 2,000-pound bombs to Israel

I got to be friends with David Lynch when we were both at Universal years ago. A very kind man, he was a fan of Bob's Big Boy. So was I. I'm going to miss him. R.I.P. David.

My all time favorite MythBusters episode was when they put a bull in a china shop to test the, uh...myth? that a bull is not good to have in a china shop. But the bull was in fact super polite and didn't knock anything down, so the myth was totally busted.
