I saw this circulating on FB and found out it was fake via snopes after 4 seconds of googling. People need to learn to vet things!

Long-time buddies Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols were out for a pleasant van drive in Oklahoma when, all of a sudden, their lives would change.

61 Years After Bloody Sunday, We Are Entering a New Era of Voter Suppression Two efforts underway threaten to erode the promise secured by the foot soldiers of Selma in 1965.

The tactics of the SAVE America Act and the Postal Service changes may look different. But the result is the same: a smaller electorate, and outcomes shaped before a single vote is counted.

Btw Philosophy is one of the higher earning degrees, but I'm sure he doesn't know that.

Trump at his Miami golf club yesterday entertaining the Republican members of Congress with tales of his exciting super-fun war on Iran.

Failing to mention that in the first 40 minutes of his "little excursion," a U.S. Tomahawk missile fired at a school killed 170 girls aged 7 to 12.

ChatGPT as a cognitive crutch: Evidence from a randomized controlled trial on knowledge retention The rapid integration of generative artificial intelligence into higher education has outpaced empirical understanding of its effects on fundamental lโ€ฆ

Here's the research, and a fascinating article how using ChatGPT may permanently damage your cognitive and creative abilities. This is a must read for teachers and students alike. I'm sure we'll see more of these studies too.

Gah I feel shallow but looking at Macron walking off the plane in Cyprus makes me feel sad I have to look at a shambolic old man in a trucker hat

Trump is literally the biggest conman in the history of this country. At least Ponzi amd Madoff didn't start wars or build internment camps with our money.

And people are still buying his crap, which is astounding to me.

I just noticed the "dismantling the administrative state" part on that banner....that's chilling. Like how does he think a country runs? Despite his unearned rep as a businessman, he became president to be boss, have parties, perks, etc--zero interest in actually running a functioning polity.

That's assuming all those blue voters aren't mysteriously "unregistered" before election day.

WAR CRIME BY THE US.

An unarmed Iranian ship was takIng part in an Indian naval exercise, alongside the US.

The US withdrew and torpedoed the Iranian ship.

THEN the US refused to rescue the sailors, letting them drown.

This is treachery, cowardice, cruelty and a war crime of the highest order.

Having one of those high stress days where something puts me in a (totally justified) foul mood right off the bat, but then teaching cheers me up. Which is funny because it's my least favorite religious tradition but I'm channeling all that mad energy into my lecture so I'm actually giddy. ๐Ÿคท

Yep, its all about the money. Morals, human rights, and common sense never enter the picture :(
