I get that. Today I get to go to a screening so they can monitor me for an entirely different kind of cancer than the one I have. Less neato, still necessary.
Whenever Harvard professors complain about their mean woke students I always think, sounds like a Harvard problem.
Nah, but I say that only because he can't look her in the eye
Truth
Didn't he do that to his ex too?
Libby is great!
• UC must publicly release a Trump administration settlement proposal by Friday after losing its appeal to keep the document private. • UCLA faculty succeed in their lawsuit demanding transparency. • The proposal includes demands for stricter admissions policies and campus protest restrictions, among other demands.
Last month, the UCLA Faculty Assn. sued UC after the university rejected its public records requests. The association is an independent organization unaffiliated with the Academic Senate, the body that formally represents all UCLA faculty in relations with campus administrators.
The UC Regents have so far refused to release the demand letter UCLA received from the Trump admin. @uclafa.bsky.social sued for its release last week and won. Glad to see that yesterday a judge rejected UC’s appeal of the decision. www.latimes.com/california/s...
"Being told I couldn’t defend free speech was almost too on the nose."
GenXer here, happy to blame the rampant racism, misogyny, and rape culture we were raised in. Add to that all the ironic and nihilistic posturing, which is a good way to let hate and grievances take hold.
We tried that once. We already know catastrophic plans are a catastrophy.
Yay for good news! That's goals right there!
Feature filmmakers love left-wing violence plots. Secret gun-toting guerrilla groups, shootouts, car chases, hunted fugitives, and the rest work well – for movies, whose only job is to hold our attention for a couple of hours.
Paid well for their betrayal too. Shame how little ethics and integrity are valued
Woulda been a good start. Shoulda done it under Biden

Ah, so one white reactionary influencer = thousands of ordinary citizens & residents

Members of the force's sports squad, responsible - among other tasks - for policing the 170 miles of tunnels, caves, galleries and catacombs that underlie large parts of Paris, stumbled on the complex while on a training exercise beneath the Palais de Chaillot, across the Seine from the Eiffel Tower. After entering the network through a drain next to the Trocadero, the officers came across a tarpaulin marked: Building site, No access. Behind that, a tunnel held a desk and a closed-circuit TV camera set to automatically record images of anyone passing. The mechanism also triggered a tape of dogs barking, "clearly designed to frighten people off," the spokesman said. Further along, the tunnel opened into a vast 400 sq metre cave some 18m underground, "like an underground amphitheatre, with terraces cut into the rock and chairs".
There the police found a full-sized cinema screen, projection equipment, and tapes of a wide variety of films, including 1950s film noir classics and more recent thrillers. None of the films were banned or even offensive, the spokesman said. A smaller cave next door had been turned into an informal restaurant and bar. "There were bottles of whisky and other spirits behind a bar, tables and chairs, a pressure-cooker for making couscous," the spokesman said. "The whole thing ran off a professionally installed electricity system and there were at least three phone lines down there." Three days later, when the police returned accompanied by experts from the French electricity board to see where the power was coming from, the phone and electricity lines had been cut and a note was lying in the middle of the floor: "Do not," it said, "try to find us."
In 2004, Parisian police were conducting a training exercise in the french catacombs and found, after moving past a desk and a tape playing audio of snarling dogs, a fully functional movie theater and bar. When they returned 3 days later, the equipment was gone, with a note: “Do not try to find us.”
May he have as much luck running for governor as he did in the mayoral race
The elimination of USAID is a moral atrocity and all involved made a choice to enable, and then lie about, ending the lives of some of the most vulnerable people in the world.
So sorry to hear this. As someone navigating illness myself, advocating for yourself feels like taking on another job in addition to the job of healing and staying well
They pay the hospital for whatever treatment the patient needs, not the patient. He of course knows this but figures we voters are uninformed and easily led
I just learned about this! So envious
Glad to see we’re united against the “compact.” For one, I love USC’s cosmopolitanism. I’m proud to have directed dissertations by students from Africa, Asia, Europe, Latin America and the U.S., and every term I love having awesome students from China, India, and many other places. Fight on!
Penn historian Ben Nathans with an op-ed in our campus newspaper:
"No self-respecting university that values its autonomy and the integrity of its teaching and research should sign the compact."
I am so grateful to be sleeping in my own bed tonight, not in the hospital. For oh so many reasons, but especially cats
