David Bier is a hero and treasure

(also, not the biggest point here, but Kennedy legit called this site "Bluski", as in "Rhymes with Russki" haha)

KENNEDY: You said, 'Republicans think can troll their way to ethnic cleansing.' Did I read that correctly?

BIER: DHS tweeted for 100m deportations. That would be ethnic cleansing!

K: You don't think it's hyperbolic?

B: I think advocating 100m deportations is ethnic cleansing. Yes. Your time is up

Golden Gate University r/brutalism

Hey @fettitude.bsky.social - take a look at this idiocy 🫣

Thanks for your work and your service! Good luck on the next phase

This is ghastly on so many levels

We're hiring two PhD students at University of Neuchâtel! Please spread the word.

I'm looking for someone who wants to work on bordering and identity formation during spectacular transformations, whether disaster or celebration. It's hard and crazy times out there. Come make sense of it.

*checks the news*

Sure is an excellent week for Melania Trump to chair the UN Security Council for some reason

This can't possibly be true right? Every week I try to guess what fresh hell they're going to force on us next, an each week they somehow manage to surprise

I honestly seriously absolutely cannot believe this isn't The Onion

That is just such a perfect moment

I would try to say that en français but it would probably come out “it’s so Persian”

Here is my language humiliation in lecture today. I am doing my best in French but it is hard.

I mentioned the Irish and the Scottish. Reader, here they are:

Irish - les Irlandais
Scottish - les Écossais

I said: "les Irlandais et les Écureuils"

Which is: "the Irish and the Squirrels"

Some days it is good to ignore the news and simply let all things in all senses just speak for themselves

(S+) Olympische Spiele, lohnt sich das? Von Olympia würde die ganze Republik profitieren, behauptet Vizekanzler Lars Klingbeil. Dabei sagen die Zahlen etwas anderes.

»Wir können und wir sollten uns Olympische Spiele leisten!« sagte jüngst Lars Klingbeil in einem Interview.

Warum nicht nur er falsche Annahmen über die wirtschaftlichen Folgen von Olympia hat:

Special thanks to @sdwolfe.bsky.social for the interview.

Stunning! New Mexico?

I'm not disturbed by the partying so much as I'm weirded out by the "UNITY, SACRIFICE, ATTITUDE... USA" branding in the locker room.

ChatGPT does vaguely fascistic locker room motivational posters

Exporting the US healthcare system might constitute an international act of aggression

Dear Kristi Noem: you’re tracking down ICE critics? I’m one of them | Robert Reich The homeland security department is reportedly seeking information on critical social media accounts. Look no further

This is worth a read

Ha! Love it.

But also pls take comfort in the fact that everybody loves Oscar!

Agree. Draw a line from Nixon to Reagan to W. to Trump, and the common denominator is not punishing the powerful for crimes.

Yes ofc dem presidents also, but I'd say Rs push the boundaries, Ds formalize it, then Rs push further. Then here we are.

Sure would be nice to have rule of law.

Chaotic solidarity chiming in ✋

To recap it again:

In 2007, Palm Beach financier Jeffrey Epstein pleaded guilty to two counts of soliciting prostitution from a minor, and served a year or so in a local jail (with work release!). Then he went back to his comfy life and powerful friends. And he’d probably be doing it all today.

Star of the show, gold medal, A+, who's a good boy!

This local Wolfdog joined an Olympic ski event and triggered the finish-line camera. This is Nazgul. He snuck into a cross-country skiing sprint this morning and raced the homestretch with some competitors before being escorted home. 14/10 someone get him a medal

OTD in 2022 i denied any invasion would happen.

So you can believe my promises about peace now.

The UK universities cutting geography have lost their bearings From climate change to geopolitics, the knowledge, skills and insights of geographers have never been more relevant, say five professors

Really importance piece in the Times Higher on cuts to Geography at a time when it matters most www.timeshighereducation.com/opinion/uk-u...

Wow.

Tonight’s dumb napkin cartoon…

404 Media obtained internal police emails showing at least two agencies have bought access to GeoSpy, an AI tool that analyzes architecture, soil, and other features to near instantly geolocate photos. @evystadium.bsky.social has more.
