May He Know Song Callen, a space lumberjack, has accepted his place in the universe: hands by which worlds will fall so Empire may grind on. But there may be more to life than just that.

Someone on TikTok pointed out that Pedro Pascal’s two sentence Instagram comment got more press for trans rights than all trans people combined in the wake of this ruling- which is infuriating but also a reason for more cis people to speak out

Elon Musk privately DM'ed YouTuber Tiffany Fong and asked her to be inseminated by him.

When she refused he unfollowed her on Twitter and cut off premium ad revenue payments of $42,000 a month

"the state can just summarily imprison someone without filing charges or holding a trial" doesn't just overturn democracy it overturns 1000 years of common law, like throwing out the entire legal system entirely and saying all people in America are the state's property.

Give a man a fishing rod, and he'll eat for a day.

Give a man an overstocked, disease-ridden industrial fish farm, and he'll lobby the Prime Minister to change environmental protection laws to protect the profits of a foreign company.

This is very noticeable among students as well. Especially international students are increasingly reluctant to speak, even inside the classroom, because they are - understandably! rightfully! - frightened they might get punished by the regime.

It is heartbreaking and it makes me so fucking angry.

Mississippi libraries ordered to delete academic research in response to state laws - Mississippi Today The two research collections state officials ordered for deletion included material from professional journals, conference papers, books, student dissertations, periodicals and newspaper articles.

This is the literal destruction of knowledge.

Mississippi libraries are being ordered to remove academic research on race and gender from library databases.

OK, non-finance people: crash course in bonds. Bond prices and yields moving opposite directions. Yields on US govt bonds [“treasuries”] are surging (ie the prices are falling). Prices are falling because people are selling treasuries at a massive clip.

Wait.
Just found out that the CEO of Gumroad now works at DOGE? And that he saved up loads of money 'cause he fired everyone and replaced them with AI?
I'm leaving the platform as soon as I get my money. Jesus christ.

Just figured out where these fake tariff rates come from. They didn't actually calculate tariff rates + non-tariff barriers, as they say they did. Instead, for every country, they just took our trade deficit with that country and divided it by the country's exports to us.

So we have a $17.9 billion trade deficit with Indonesia. Its exports to us are $28 billion. $17.9/$28 = 64%, which Trump claims is the tariff rate Indonesia charges us. What extraordinary nonsense this is.

The last day on which a majority of the Supreme Court’s justices had been appointed by Democratic presidents was May 14, 1969.

One of the things we do in the legal academy is support our claims with facts.
