It’s so embarrassing to be Jewish in 2025. The public crashouts, the self-pitying, how so many of the nation state fetishists are so goddamned /brittle/ and lose their entire shit over honest reporting of the facts on the ground, it’s MORTIFYING.

Do you know any stories about someone who did a drug and then fundamentally transformed their focus in life and became a better person? Who started showing up for other people in a way that they hadn’t before? Because there’s no shortage of Israelis doing ayahuasca.

It deeply pains me to see someone who wrote so eloquently on denialism, that influenced my understanding on how people can engage in the denial of history and science, deny the history being made before her very eyes.
She is lighting her life's work on fire.

I’ve been thinking a lot about the first chapter of the 3 body problem. At the time I thought, “I’m so glad to live in a place where that kind of thing wouldn’t happen.” Not a lot surprises me, but I’m flabbergasted that I was wrong.

She deserves so much better than this. Stephens isn’t even smart enough to be embarrassed.
Reading Tressie McMillan Cottom debate Bret Stephens on higher education is like watching Steph Curry play H.O.R.S.E. against a barely-sentient lump of gravel.

What I don’t get about these toxic dudes with massive followings of young men is that they seem so utterly miserable. I don’t think Benny Shaps has ever experienced a moment of joy. Tate thinks that eating good food is gay. What do they have that anyone would want besides YouTube money?

Professor who teaches African American studies here. If your school eliminates or bans it, I will personally host free zoom sessions, provide resources, or answer questions for students, parents/guardians, or teachers who are interested in learning or discussing African American studies.
Linda McMahon, Trump’s nominee for education secretary, said she’s not “quite certain” whether African American studies would be allowed under Trump’s executive order
Here’s What Linda McMahon, Nominee for Education Secretary, Had to Say About Higher Ed
She discussed dismantling the Education Department, investigating colleges over antisemitism and DEI, and increasing access to noncollege opportunities.

Elsewhere, a worker at an intelligence agency says that unidentified outside staffers arrived to sweep the office of anything they felt was related to DEI. That included a plaque, confiscated from a supervisor’s desk, which read, “Be kind to everyone.”

I have been thinking about this a lot.
One of the first things Hitler did was destroy and burn trans research at the Institute of Sexology.
Trump has spent the past couple weeks systematically attempting to erase any trans related information that he has power over.
Just for context, you know.

I think Americans, blessed with relatively stable government for a long time, assume there is someone, some adult, who will step in and make things right before the President does anything REALLY bad.
There’s not.

That's exactly it, last night I said liberals view a fascist takeover as an opportunity to do goofy Handmaids Tale cosplay and have their melodramatic, self-indulgent Main Character Moment where they can FEEL like they're nobly staring down tyranny while DOING less than nothing
