I just had virtually the same conversation with my nephew (humanities edition) - he’s graduating college in May and had wanted to go into academia but says it’s totally infeasible with so many departments not taking grad students and funding drying up.
We’re losing an entire generation of scholars.
A tweet that reads “The new academic wealth gap isn't your university. It's not even your advisor's connections. It's who knows Claude can turn 50+ research papers into a thesis chapter in 3 hours and who's still manually coding qualitative data. I just watched a sociology PhD skip 8 weeks of analysis. Here are the 9 prompts they used:”
fuck this so much
we are so not prepared for the mountain of dogshit “scholarship” about to flood journals everywhere
HOLY SHIT.
A dark money group, hidden behind a bunch of shell companies, is paying influencers thousands of dollars PER POST to attack @katmabu.bsky.social on social media a month before her election.
Thank you to the people who declined the money and went forward with this. So who's behind this?
every single day it's more obvious how sexually loaded all this stuff is. youre getting dommed by a broadway fop.
This shoe thing is maybe the best example of Trump being an avatar of pure malice. These are his allies. The guys carrying out his agenda, willingly and gladly. And still he’s got to humiliate them. Why? Because it’s just what he wants to do to *everybody*.
⬇️ For your consideration: Watch to learn about the $220M taxpayer-funded ad campaign that's tied to a mysterious Delaware LLC and a horse named Gill.

Murphy: "Literally in my other ear I'm listening to Ted Cruz on another network explain why this mission is so essential to destroy the nuclear program. I may have to walk over there and tell him the admin is now briefing that getting rid of the nuclear program has nothing to do with this mission."
Truly unbelievable stuff. Just up there shamelessly lying his ass off
This is how our government has been corrupted:
1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians
2) Elected officials rewrite rules in donors' favor
3) Donors make huge profit
4) Repeat
We must get big money out of politics. It’s the root of all evil in Washington.
I just left another briefing on Iran.
Here's the only part of Trump's plan that is clear to me:
He won't spare a cent for the 15 million Americans who will lose their health care, but he'll spend a billion dollars a day bombing Iran.
That's because they coddle them too much now. Back in my day, it only took 20 years for T-Rexes to fully mature, because they had discipline. Spare the rod, spoil the terrible tyrant lizard.

If the Dems who win in the 2026 midterms get squeamish about prosecuting this administration, we'll need to elect a bunch of new people running on Nuremberg shit for 2028. This isn't a joke. It's the law. It's justice. Biden let Trump back in the WH and this happened because Joe didn't do his job
MAGA's Pedophile—NOT ANTIFA
A child caught up with others in a twisted world of wealthy pedophiles, with Donald Trump and Epstein fully criminally involved.
This is what Donald Trump, his DOJ, and the MAGA Republican Congress are covering up.
PEDOPHILE TRUMP.

Trump's decision to bomb Iran is now the greatest windfall to the Russian war effort on record. If it continues, it might save the Russian war economy.
There is apparently credible evidence that the president of the United States is a pedophile. The comforting phrase “accused him without evidence” no longer fits this situation, and journalists must resort to the more perfunctory “hasn’t been formally charged.” www.thedailybeast.com/key-details-...
Did yall see the finish to the 2026 LA Marathon?
love how we killed the old, frail anti-nuke ayatollah just to have him replaced with his young, healthy son who wants nukes and who just had his father, mother, wife, and child murdered on the same day by his mortal enemy. surely this will bring peace to the region
." In the final panel, he's fallen off his bike with a scraped knee, surrounded by quotes like "The tragedy and chaos the country is witnessing in Minneapolis is shocking..." and "The videos I've seen from Minneapolis yesterday are deeply disturbing..."
." In the last panel, he has fallen off the bike, with text around him including "It's past time that everyone involved in Epstein's illegal operation be brought to justice" and "Victims 'deserve full justice.'"
." The final panel shows him fallen off his bike, surrounded by quotes such as "There is no question that the President should have sought authorization from Congress..." and "Our allies are now 'equally in danger.'"

What a shameful exercise in performative religiosity and piety 😳
He’s going to be equally as shitty as Krusty Gnome.
Every time a woman runs for president I hear that she’s too emotional and unstable to make wartime decisions, unlike the men in charge who make really reasonable decisions like bombing kids to death, starting water wars, and poisoning the entire planet
i am asking yet again how it is legal for a company to send me a letter saying "sorry somebody stole all your personal information from us and now they have all of your personal information. sucks to be you! bye!" and then they receive no consequences and it happens again a week later
Quietly, calmly and forensically, BBC just dismantled the Trump communications shitshow on Iran.
No hyperbole, just laying out an unprecedented military, diplomatic and reputational shambles.
Worth a watch.

Mary Trump is the only Trump with common sense, morals, and intelligence. She's spot-on about her deranged uncle.
We've renamed the DOD the Department of War. Our troops are Warfighters. No of course we're not "at war" you dumb lib
Just to recap from my soda-straw perspective:
My government started a war of choice that led to my home being bombarded by missiles and drones depleting our air defenses which they refuse to resupply while telling us to evacuate after our airspace was shut because their war put us in danger
So the Rubio line is that if Iran was attacked (unclear by whom!!!) then Iran would hit our bases, meaning we had to preemptively attack before we could face the consequences of another country's belligerence.
I do think it’s relevant that if Netanyahu loses his position, he will go to jail
